# | Hokies' Starting Center Eric Gallo Leans on Current and Former Teammates to Adjust to New Role I wonder if this has anything to do with the clip where Teller demolishes an LB or two while Wang runs right past 2 guys who proceed to tackle the ball carrier.
"I had a problem where I could get to the backers, but I would mess up Dave and wouldn't help him out, so that's one thing I've been trying to work on, is being a better team player with the offensive line," Teller said. "I really feel like this season I've gotten better with that. I've helped Gallo out on a few blocks, stuff like that, so being able to work together as an offensive line is important."
There was music????
Like you said, "Pony up".
Leg, sir. You're a step ahead of me. Though I'm worried about a good pass rush against our right tackle without TE support. Just shows the versatility of this offensive personnel. The only players on offense that defenders don't have to worry about being a passing target are the OL. (Assuming no tackle-eligible trickeration inherited from the previous OC.)
Point: they got into a college so they're obviously somewhat educated
Counterpoint: Alabama was the college where all of the dumb jocks and party-girls from my H.S. went because they couldn't get into any other schools....

# | Bitter blog - Tuesday reset: Season tickets sell out, RIP Wyatt's mullet and a scrimmage review Looked at the club seats since that would be easier with three kids under 5, wow not cheap. 2,350 per seat.
You're obviously used to using a different scale from what I was using...
But it wouldn't surprise me at all if most of those girls are pretty smart in addition to those traits we can actually observe in the video.

# | Teller Demoted? OL Shuffling? VT Football Practice Monday 8/17 Observations My Bro-In-Law was a coach of Parker in high school and he just told me that Parker has been working hard.
I got the chance to meet him when he played in a Senior HS all star game near Fed-EX.
Happy for him he was a Very Nice Kid!
My take is we have more depth than we thought on OL as well as some "Motivational Coaching".
I watched that Bills-Panthers game. I'll just say this, from the start on most plays, the Panthers D beat the Bills OL. And once they did, we saw Tyrod doing Tyrod things, and I thought to myself "man, his time at Tech really prepared him for that offense".
Seriously, that Bills OL looked bad. Panthers weren't even playing 2 of their starting DL, and he was being forced to scramble on most plays. I can't see how anyone else could be successful behind center this year.

# | Blacksburg listed as Location on Brad Paisley's Crushin' It World Your Tshirt What kind of music do you usually have here?
Oh, we got both kinds. We got country and western.
Check the link for a "French" level break down of Tyrod's play/mechanics this preseason. It makes me all tingly!

I've heard that the staff is pleased with his progressing accuracy this spring & summer. That would be great, but if progress means only moving from poor to mediocre, we're in trouble. Give me Nugent & a large helping of Tressel ball, please.

# | Thoughts after Watching Virginia Tech's Open Scrimmage Saturday I think the biggest thing is that we're recruiting a bunch of actual OLmen to play OL at Tech. We're no longer in the business of just converting whoever doesn't work out at DL to OL and making it work, and we're emphasizing the importance of a good OL by ensuring they're getting good coaching throughout their time here. If we keep recruiting like we did the last 2 years over the next 2, our OL is going to be deep with talent at all the spots, and we should be a lot better at keeping our QBs off their asses. This alone should help out in whatever direction we go post-Beamer, by that the foundation at OL should be set, so we won't have to endure a complete rebuild again like we have the last couple years.
T-Mobile feeling the love in Buffalo, looks like he will be at least #2 if not the starter come opening day. With the weapons Buffalo picked up in the offseason they could be a real threat to the division this year since they already had a pretty nasty D!

If VT focuses on stopping the run game I think we're better off with 12 Gauge as the QB. He's a more bruising runner than JT and would add to the defense's challenge in stopping the run. In the end, I think it'll be more about getting pressure fast rather than stopping the run so that our QB gets rattled and makes bad decisions. If our O line can give him time we'll do fine.
Depends on defensive personnel...
If defense brings on run-heavy personnel, I would prefer them away from the line of scrimmage regardless of if I'm passing or running. Against run-heavy personnel I might spread them out, take some of those linebackers out of the box and on the perimeter where they aren't used to playing, and make them make those run/pass reads from areas of the field they aren't used to.
Cline vs a linebacker is a mismatch regardless of if that linebacker knows it's a pass play or not.

# | Teller Demoted? OL Shuffling? VT Football Practice Monday 8/17 Observations The whole dam line is soft i thought i heard joey bosa's backup say. And a couple of linebackers too. And there could have been some ACC guys saying that too.
IMO, you want to keep both Cline and Malleck in close to the line, to disguise who is going to release into a passing route. If you split them wide, you take away that moment of transition when a defender has to realize their assignment.
No. No it won't.
I don't think 'Hooked on flags' will do so well....
I love the guy pointing and laughing.
"Hey! that flag is blocking my view of.....oh, how very interesting. Same year, huh?"
