I think he is just trying to take away the angle because he has lost contain. Running flat down the line gives the QB more time, but prevents him from having a running lane if nobody is open. Or, it could just be that his first steps when changing direction are flat.
Yay I like fixed things
why does G-W run for the sideline? Does he not trust the coverage or does he not have the speed to go straight for the QB?
I know Blue Collar Hokie was waiting for this to come back.
It doesn't surprise me that the guy down the hall said that....Ohio State Football is all the Ohio natives have unless they want to be rebels and be Michigan fans. Sad that he wont root for his own school.
The article was pretty funny as well.
that is all.
My girlfriend is a student there, she's on a full ride so it was a no brained. Based upon what I see there it's not unheard of for them to win. A bunch of her suitemates are sleeping around and constantly partying. However, after reading that article about UT and guys sticking beer into their assholes I feel like they should get it.
Jefferson would be proud.
Honestly, that's what I expected to happen when they announced the new rule before the season began. (When the opposing team doesn't have a major threat at returner)
Edwards doesn't always excel when taking on blocks, but he is much quicker and better in coverage than Taylor. Taylor I think would be fine at mike. With this injury lingering though, I think that it may be the Clemson game before Edwards is really ready to play at that high level.
I don't think Foster would do it, but I would consider playing Tyler at mike, and then using RVD at whip and JGW at backer against some of these quicker teams. I think that gives more flexibility and gets you an edge-rush option with blitzing.
It's a pro stadium, which means beer sales are allowed.
Can't wait to watch this kid ball. Hope to see more Pocket Herc "JC Coleman" this week!
how does this change the LB equation w/Taylor, in your opinion?
There were a handful of plays by each of the RBs where they attacked defenders rather than trying to dance. Gregory had one in particular; he got blown up, but he didn't try to dance away from the contact, which would have cost a yard or two. I kinda felt like they were told that if they weren't decisive, they'd be pulled. Felt much better about the effort in this game, and it was against a fairly good Run-D.

"Cincinnati will try as best as it can to make the home field of the Washington Redskins feel like home. The scoreboard graphics will belong to Cincinnati, along with all the other graphics on the electronic boards around the stadium. The field will also be painted with Cincinnati logos, with the Redskins logo at midfield."
I wonder if that means no Enter Sandman.

A guy who lived down the hall from me in Miles told me he would root for the Buckeyes over the Hokies if they played (and they will in a few years). Just sayin
It has been a rough 48 hours in the French household. I think I was pointing to the Coleman run in the 4th quarter that set up the Scales touchdown. I should have reviewed for typos a little better.
If you would like to see the play, it is on the last touchdown drive, 2 plays before the Scales touchdown.
The false start penalties were not just on the line. Most of them result from motion and not getting reset, or wide receivers jumping. Dyrell Roberts took a brutal false start penalty in the 2nd quarter that almost killed the drive. Other than that, he was great BUT those kind of mistakes need to be quelled against good teams.
Take a look at the 16:00 minute mark of this video - the 4th hokie TD of the day on a toss to Michael Holmes.
Now watch Marcus Davis, and be disgusted.
On this play, Marcus is supposed to crack back on the OLB. When you're 6'4" and 225 lbs, you should salivate at the prospect of this. You're on the goalline. Blood is in the water. Make a play. Take care of the little things.
Instead, Marcus makes almost no attempt to hit anybody and completely whiffs on his assignment. To make matters worse, the weak side LB is hustling to the ball, pursuing the play from the backside. Again, Marcus has him lined up to deliver what should be a punishing block. This time, Marcus actually GETS OUT OF THE WAY OF THE DEFENDER. He almost looks like a bull fighter, who spins out of the way at the last minute. Except he's not a bullfigher, he's a football player. WTF. HIT SOMEBODY.
That play is a microcosm of what I think has been a terrible effort from our receivers all season. As a Hokie fan, I hate to be overly critical of Hokies, but I would bench Marcus Davis for a long, long time. It's particularly frustrating, because he should be an NFL talent but he plays like a creampuff. And oh yeah, he should know how to catch by now.
Everyone has criticized LT3 for regressing this year - fair enough. But his WRs have been atrocious. No effort. Running wrong routes. Can't catch. The end.
we drank FedEx dry by the start of the 3rd quarter.
I always play a shit ton of Nickel and 4-3, man to man press coverage and blitz all day. I then mix it up with some zone blitz and max coverage (the "9 velcro" play) just like Bud would run it haha.
And it attests to the reality of the videogame that I'm always good against the run (avg allowing under 75 rushing yards, which also stems from a lot of sacks) but have the potential to get burned on big plays if a corner fails to jam his man at the line or my LBs don't make it through the O-Line. (all of which can and has occurred at tomes with our defensive scheme)
but I am just as excited to stay with and see friends as I am about the game itself.
pretty much every tech fan has a losing record at neutral site/bowl games....
I don't care for FedEx, but it's an easier drive for me than getting to Blacksburg.
Had the opportunity to get cheap, decent tickets. Decided not to go after attending Pittsburgh, and realizing that every time I go to an away/neutral site/bowl game, we lose. I'm currently at 0-5 (USC, LSU, BSU, MICH, PITT).
It sucks.
