Sorry, link didn't work. Still a novice at this!
I don't know...kind of getting tired of using the opposing defensive scheme as a crutch for our fledgling run game. We should be able to impose our will no matter what the defense does. At what point do we hold our backs responsible...or even Shane, who I'm not yet sold on for our RB coach.
When did Frank get a TKP account?
How about this?
Yea I figured they got Morris because his running style(patience ect) fit their scheme, and as you said some RB's its a struggle, thats why I didn't know if for most people it developed in college or if he doesn't have good vision by now is it gonna be like pulling teeth and just hope his physical tools dominate
Last year we never really sustained drives - it seemed like it was all deep ball, deep ball, 3rd and Logan.
This year we are sustaining drives, marching down the field. The first deep ball we have connected on was to Knowles last weekend.
So what is the difference? Red zone offense. You take out the easy misses from our kicking game and I would say the red zone is where VT is making their money. Just off the top of my head I can't remember a turnover in the red zone and last week we were 4-4 with 4 TDs.
I am in NYC. Working at a smallish firm that has projects all over the city - residential, commercial, institutional... pretty good mix. My biggest project right now is in the Brooklyn Navy Yard - which is really a pretty cool opportunity. Are you an architect and/or NYC based?...
Yeah this game is all superstition for me and no stats (lets face it I know nothing about them anyway). I feel that all we have to do is execute and we should be fine. Exum potentially returning is still making me nervous though...
I want to beat them but I really want to lay a physical whooping on them. I want both lines to dominate them. I want big hits. I want hard running from our guys. I want to see them scared to run the next play.
I'm getting seriously addicted to your post-game write-ups! Well done - I look forward to your next analysis!
Having a HS QB go to the coach and say, We need to run this play, and having the coach have confidence in him to say go run it and have it work shows he is a true study of the game. I am excited to see him in the burg
just as vtnerf said, mostly all I want is a win. But after a solid defensive performance against GT and a solid offensive outing against UNC...I would like to put the two together and dominate Pitt. But they can not be overlooked, but this is moot as this team has been very good about focusing on each week at a time.
It is coachable, but the difficulty lies within the player learning this. Look at the Redskins (apologies for this constant reference, but this is the only team I focus on as much as the Hokies)...Alfred Morris comes out of no where (FAU) but shows extreme patience, ball security, and enough explosiveness in a zone blocking scheme to warrant his 1600 yard season. Roy Helu, however, is speedy, shifty, and doesn't always wait for the blocks to set up. This leads to short yardage on what could be huge gains. Helu has made leaps in learning to be patient, but still has a bit of a struggle.
Considering Helu is a pro, and edmunds is not, I would say Edmunds can definitely learn it--and learn it well. Just takes time and a lot of hard work, which I don't think he is afraid of doing. Edmunds seems very coachable.
Definitely the only part of that hashtag that I saw as well.
Turns out, we had a Stinespring that was loose.
TO 1,000 YOU GO
Love the way this guy handles himself, seems to have maturity beyond his years. I know i'll be rooting for him to succeed!
Edmunds is like that fantasy RB that you just have to keep starting and wait for his big game (IMO). Teams are selling out on the run and we are having no trouble in the air. I am actually thankful teams did this, since my biggest fear was beating teams through the air, and now we have chemistry and great WR development. The day is soon coming where teams will respect the pass and the RB's will be explosive...when that day comes, I would expect to see a 35-45 point game from the hokies. Hopefully that day, is just 4 days away.
This is where the stats start floating out the window. Given the recent history with Pitt, I just want to beat them. We've lost 4 straight to them, in all which we were ranked in the top 15. They have our number, just like we have GiT's number. Just win baby!!!!! Logan, show up. D, flatten them for 60 minutes!!!!!!
Now it makes sense.
I'm glad too that there are reasons. I honestly feel that Trey passes the eye test and is a legitimate baller.
hearing all the praise of the new coaches reminds me of getting that first really hot girlfriend.
I busted out laughing when I heard that line.
Reminds me of:
