This guy.
Regardless of what the rest of the roster looks like, sometimes a guy doesn't have quite the speed to play DE, and doesn't quite have the size to play DT.
Marshall at 6'1" is already way too short according to the NFL prototypical DE or DT... it must be a miracle that he can contribute at all in college, right? smh
IMO it's a testament to Bud's scheme that an undersized DT can be an effective player.
Also there's no way Teller switches back to DL. He might very well start this season at RT. Smith was going to be a bit of a project either way.
mine is the next incarnation of MANBEARPIG:
I'd like to see him at DE as well, but for spring there are exactly two healthy scholarship DTs. (Baron is non-contact for at least the first half of spring practice). There's also several young DE that really need reps to be ready to contribute this fall. We all know Marshall can contribute at both positions, so this move basically allows the rest of the team to get more out of practice. Also Williams beating out Marshall isn't quite a given, so there will be competition and competition is always good.

# | Bitter blog - Corey Marshall will go through spring drills, working at DT I get the distinct impression we can't land guys like Nandi because they have the opportunity to get significant playing time on a team that's an immediate threat for a National Title.
We won't be an immediate threat for another 2 years.
Is this going to be in Blacksburg at the River Course? Or Cville at Birdwood?
It was the same when I went to Ole Miss/LSU game this year at Ole Miss. They scan the students ID but the students can request paper tickets instead(how I got in). We lined up with some other students about 2 hours earlier and by the time they opened the gates we were sprinting in. It was actually really fun. We ended up on the front row and were on ESPN several times. Not sure how general admission would work for Tech but it works for Ole Miss.
That's actually a really good attempt.
Teller is not moving back to the DL.
CastingHorse?
Wow.
Fan of the idea. But never gonna happen. Virginia law prohibits sale of alcoholic beverages on state property during events (games). Would have to change the law for the entire state.
SO COOL. SUCH AMAZE. MUCH AWESOME.
This is why BF can't land the big name guys most recently like Grant, Hand & Nandi. We get Teller and Smith for defense and whoosh they are in the OL logjam. Have 4 returning OL starters, recruited the FAB 5 - 1. After Teller and Smith waste a couple of years bumping around the OL merry-go-round there they will be back on DL. Now Marshall is following the same path as Jim Davis and John Graves. These kids come wanting a shot at a pro career and the first thing we do is start the chess game moving them around and making them undersized DT. As much as we pride ourselves on coaching stability, you get on the internal merry-go-round with different position coaches. We can talk about the unusual nature of the gap defense but unless you are a 5'-11' 300# DT or 6'-1" 220# DE you have no idea where you will be. I got a big kick out of DeBerry thinking after playing 2 yrs at DE he'll come here and play LB because that's his natural position. He may be a DT if eats too may Whoppers.
Dooley is one the most jacked defensive ends I've ever seen.
I always thought it would be cool to run with the medieval castle motif:
But that's probably not for everyone.
Eloquent, direct, succinct. An excellent response.
Ah, but didn't you hear the timecop? They may not win games, or have fans that go to games, or be able to use any of the highly rated talent they recruit, but hey, they've got a good 3rd down defense, right?
PhD? Dude, you da man! and.....don't you have some important shit to be doing right now? ;)
I enjoy dropping them in my toilet almost once a day.
Mo bettah seeds than the Dept of Agriculture.
Yeah. It was a great camp. Danny Manning and a few other notables were also instructors
I'd go one step further to say that Dean Smith is a legend of the sport at every level and an icon of the college game if there ever was one. As a boy, UNC was my bball team because outside of Ace Custis, I mean....c'mon. I somewhat pull for UNC nowadays because they're a freakin amazing program that produces A+ talent and are fun to watch, but of course I never feel any bit of good when they beat VT.
Thoughts out to his family.
His HS film was great. He just needs to get bigger!
Perfect.
