This. That was the loudest moment I remember, and can't imagine what it would have been like if the south EZ wasn't wide open at that time.
Unfortunately the loudest time I can remember in Lane was the last minute of the BC Matt freakin Ryan debacle. That was not a fun post game tailgate in the rain but the bourbon helped!
Great write-up French, one thing though on that fake-screen / drop video. The slot receiver is on the LOS and is covered up by the outside WR, and as such is ineligible for a dump off pass. He does stay behind the LOS but I don't think that allows him to catch any kind of forward pass... its just GT avoiding an ineligible man down field penalty.
Dodge trucks are built "Sam" tough!
Damn I hate Paul Johnson's techniques. On that clip with Tevin Washington getting stuffed on 3rd and 4th downs, Tyrel Wilson gets chop blocked by #27 and #20 on 3rd down Tariq Edwards stuffs Washington. (0:02 - 0:05 on the video)
Paul Johnson would say that #27 wasn't trying to engage with Wilson but he runs into our guy the same time #20 is diving at his shins.
More chop blocking goodness:
- In the Duke game Counter-Option video, #70 the RG chop blocks Duke's far-side DT by diving into his legs while the C #50 is blocking him up high. It's not a severe chop but only because #70 hits the back of his own mans leg first.
- In the Quick Toss video, the GT LG and LT combine to chop block Duke's backside DT.
- In the Midline Option video, the GT B-back (#37) and playside A-back (#2_) combine to attempt a chop block the playside LB who fills the hole. B-back high, A-back low. In the crowd it's tough to see if the A-back actually contacts the LB's legs or if the threat of the chop is enough to get the LB tied up with the B-back's normal block.
IMO it's the responsibility of the cut-blocking player to avoid cut blocking someone engaged with another blocker. In this case where #27 and #20 run to the alley one blocking high and one blocking low they hit Wilson simultaneously.
As for this bull**** about how Wilson "should have been focused on #20" that's the exact kind of argument that Paul Johnson uses to try and explain away the constant chop blocks his team commits. It translates to "If the defense would just get out of the way then they wouldn't get chop blocked."
Classic!
crap, totally missed your post. turkey leg for beating me to the punch and for being correct
"Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid"
I thought a few lines from an old song by Buffalo Springfield - "For What It's Worth" - would be an oddly appropriate response to the OP.
I want to agree with you and maybe someone else will clarify whether it was or not, but I feel that as quick as that play was and the fact Wilson never went to the ground, a foul is never going to be called there. Wilson engaged, #27 when he should have been focused on #20 the whole time it looks like. I think if #20 actually cut him down then maybe a flag is considered, but his bunny hop I think helped in the no call there.
Also, I think if Wilson felt he had been chopped, he would have been looking for a flag. But that just shows how fine the line is right there.
And boom goes the dynamite!
I don't think it is a coincidence the speed and agility rooms looks more Hokie now that Rogers has arrived in Blacksburg.
Totally an inside job, one of our own has a delightfully twisted sense of humor. Now who could it be....?
geologist, weather man, cultural analysis of other teams' cities, what is this place?!?!?!
The weight room doesn't gentrify Sam Rogers, Sam Rogers rogerifies the weight room.
Gonna have to take a three day weekend playing this dangerous game. I like what you did here.
Help them out, baseball is a pretty good group of guys.
What terror inducing class are you taking that makes you take an exam at 7am?! For my 7:45 AM finals we had to wait for someone to unlock the buildings for us. Granted it was Saturday in Surge.
Given the precision of the trolling I'd say it was a long time lurker who actually knows how to post on here and is doing it epically.
Miami in the rain 09 and Miami seismograph games were definitely two of the loudest games I can remember being at. The Danny Coale catch against Nebraska may have been the loudest moment, but most of that game was a "boring" defensive game.
Sam Rogers doesn't need a lunchbox, he uses the whole of Lane Stadium.
Sam Rodgers is the "Horse on the Treadmill"
My loudest moment in Lane was the blocked punt vs. Miami in 2001. Wilford's drop would have been louder had he caught it.
