How typical is it for a running back to develop vision and patience, or is that something that a player just kind of has and is difficult for a coaching staff to teach them those skills

I just figured it out...she must be the mother of:

Fair enough. Basically, markup languages like HTML and XML, use tags to denote the modifiers you can use after it. For an image, the tag is "img" and the modifier is "src." Some tags have other options that can go within it, specifically when using text formatting. The "/" denotes that you are closing that tag. So you could write a line without a "/>" at the end, include all of your lines and then put "< / tag >" at the end of the block. If it's just a one line statement, you can put "< tag modifier="text" />" and that would mean the end of that statement.

Stiney was Mike London before Mike London- great recruiter, good person but awful X's and O's.

Oh I hear ya. But my first thought was "YES!!" then immediately followed by exactly my previous comment

I don't always use the 'most interesting man in the world meme', but when I do, I start it with 'I don't always...'.

Haha. Just busting you up, Chicago. Glad you got the imbed to work!

I think she forgot to put her teeth in that day. LOL

Great column once again, French. Your work should be required reading for all VT football fans.

I'm happy to learn that our problems in the running game seem to lie more with our young RBs not hitting the proper hole or making the proper read than with our OL being simply physically overwhelmed at the point of attack. The former is fixable and should improve with time. The latter probably isn't, at least not for this year.

I....I....I can't stop staring at this. Is she a bird? Is this what an eagle looks like as a person??

i was one of those frustrated watching the game live when we couldnt get anything going. thank you for these write ups cause they seriously ease my fears about our offense. i really just want to see a run game dominate with assistance from the pass, but if defenses are going to stack the box and make us win with the pass logan has shown he can do it.

i wonder when we will have another 1000 yard rusher. i thought trey may do it after the alabama game but defenses have made it damn near impossible to run

I think Loeffler is doing what he can with what he has. Perhaps the OL doesn't give him the option of "wearing out opponents". Also, just a thought, the scheme he's running takes quite a bit of execution to run. Loeffler finds match ups to exploit and needs the WR and QB to be on the same page in order to execute. I'm at the opposite end of the spectrum since I think he's done a bang up job and has done about as much as you could realistically want.

Thank you good sir!!!!
(I didn't post it to boost turkey legs, but quick frankly thought it would get a few...)

I'm not sure we've been all that "lucky". We've had season ending injuries to our starting TE, our starting Whip, and back-up Mike. On top of that we had our All-ACC CB tear his ACL in the off-season and had a bunch of attrition from the program. Looking back the coaches and players have done a tremendous job of filling each of those holes, but if you go back and read the boards we were feeling rather unlucky when this season began.

Love the OBX! Was there a few weeks ago. Hope you had a great time. I had to miss two games for that trip.
Thanks for the write up as always!

Especially after reading this, I am so excited about the future of Virginia Tech Football! We seem to be headed in the right direction on all fronts

Seriously, I thought there was some special rule that disallowed the Virginia Tech Hokies to attempt a forward pass in the red zone. Turns out we just had crappy coaching.

Because you can't turkey leg the original post and his comments a very sparse so far. He'll be swimming in legs in no time though, have faith.

The mobile QB was the crutch that hid so many flaws.

Great analysis from both of you. I rewatched the every play last night and was shocked at the sheer efficiency from mid 1st QTR to halftime. We seem to be derailing ourselves with one bad QTR every game, with many of them being the 3rd QTR or 1st QTR.
