I thought he was incredible in his freshman year, and he was, statistically, bad in his second year, but that was a truly, truly dreadful situation for a QB to be in: OL couldn't pass block, every receiver was a freshman or redshirt freshman, and despite the numbers, he was still consistently making the plays necessary for us to win football games. I've thought about doing a long post on that 2008 team many times because it was such a spectacular outcome for a team that had lost damn near everyone from the mid 2000's on both sides of the ball, and not only managed to rescue the 10 win streak, but won the ACC, and won a BCS bowl game. One of Bud Foster's most incredible coaching jobs. He had to replace almost every player from the elite defenses of the previous years.
I always saw the vision with Tyrod, and the growing pains of being forced to learn our multiple, pro-style offense, with damn near none of the layups modern offenses are designed to give QB's, were always going to make him stick in the NFL for a long time (from my POV).
Most of those practice reps they aren't supposed to hit the QB so it becomes two hand touch. Don't think he turns the motor off in a real game but guess we will see. I am just surprised Missouri kept him off the field.
Yahoo Sports now reporting its a done deal.
This is where they shouldnt bother then. If he didnt play, his rating shouldnt change much. Definitely not 8 points. Guess it all depends on which "talent analyst" they assigned his profile to, did the guy have his coffee and donut, did he sleep well, did he have a fight with his wife....
I remember thinking Tyrod was ass his second year, and the first half of his third year.
I'm pretty sure he was on TKP for a while. I reached out to him years ago to create a custom Bruce Smith figurine for a raffle prize in our alumni chapter before he got into 3D printing.
Made by a Hokie. Nate does great work and is a good follow on Instagram.
Did you know that there aren't any canaries in the Canary Islands? The same holds true for the Virgin Islands. There aren't any canaries there either!
Was thinking the same thing. Maybe they are still dickering over money. I don't really care if thats the reason, just wanted to use dickering in a sentence.
Maybe upset at all they paid for Mose Phillips and he cant see the field.
I really really hope we get an OL that can protect our incoming talent. The trenches have been our weakest group in the last 10 years aside from a few isolated bright spots
He REALLY goes hard after players in yellow....
But then seems to give up right at the end-may be a concern.
And he's from the same HS as Danny O'Brien.
So any idea on when/if this will be official or atleast announced?
Brevard County, FL Represent!!!
A good pass rush can help alleviate some weaknesses in the secondary so ALL ABOARD. I am pleased to see the portal work is trending to the guys with more eligibility left and not the super senior 7 year grad transfers we seemed to rely on too heavily in the past.
Franklin working his magic and doing exactly what he wants to do (long term) in a very creative way.
He stated that he wants to build his team through high school recruiting while filling the gaps with the portal. He obviously needs to utilize the portal in a heavy way in years 1 & 2. But he is targeting young portal players who will potentially be here for a number of years. He is accomplishing both things at the same time and its freaking beautiful!
Perfect! That's exactly what I was going for

Ummmm...WOW!!!!
Yeah, if I'm being honest, that dude's speech at the first wedding was one of the worst I've ever witnessed. It ended with him throwing a packet of condoms at the groom. So, par for the course, I guess
Physical tools appear to be intact.
👀 looks encouraging

Yeah he is always tinkering with printed figures. He made some incredible busts of Tyrod. He and I collect Hokies cards together so talk pretty frequently.
