Because we're all Sunday morning quarterbacks.
Short video that doesn't add a whole lot we haven't already heard, but it does highlight Wells with some very brief practice clips. Pry also talks about Delane and how having more depth at secondary will allow him to stay fresh.
Worth the watch:
Heavy emphasis on this being not official and coming from sources, but there are apparently TWO inbound bids of $6B ea. Normally I wouldn't care about the sale of a franchise but 1) Snyder needs to be shown the door, and 2) Washington deserves better. Every franchise deserves better than what Snyder has done. It makes me sick that he's going to profit, but I'm happy that this might actually happen and he'll be gone.

TSL's David Cunningham reported out the following pseudo-depth chart from practice this AM.

#Hokies have Pro Day this morning. 11 guys are participating, including Chamarri Conner, who was at the NFL combine.The current team is here, too. DT Josh Fuga is carrying the Lunch Pail."It's going to stay in the d-line room or it's going to stay in my hand [this season]."— David Cunningham (@therealdcunna) March 20, 2023
Glowing reviews of the wide receivers room:
Also this nugget:
Virginia Tech RB Kenji Christian no longer listed on the official roster
During his time in Blacksburg, Christian did not record any game reps.
Had a feeling this was coming, although I thought it would be Chance Black leaving before Kenji
We did it! We made it to Spring Ball! I'm going to post the embeds here and I'll update my takeaways from the coordinates this evening when I get a chance to look over their portions of the press conference. For now here's what the head whistle had to say about the staff changes, new faces, and beginning of spring.
Maine getting paid!!
Breaking: The Bears are giving former Bills LB Tremaine Edmunds a 4-year, $72 million deal that includes $50M guaranteed, a source tells @AdamSchefter. pic.twitter.com/k9m8oNPpvj— ESPN (@espn) March 13, 2023
HC: Brent Pry
OC/QB: Tyler Bowen
RB: Elijah Brooks
WR: Fontel Mines
TE: Stu Holt
OL: Ron Crook
DL: J.C. Price
DC/ILB: Chris Marve
OLB/NB: Shawn Quinn
CB: Derek Jones
S: Pierson Prioleau
Personally, I think that having the OC being the QB coach is the best situation for success, as there should be a more efficient understanding of what the offense will be trying to do.
Feels like a good hire. Lunch pail type of guy. Knows the area well. https://t.co/wu7Ayw9B6O— FootballScoop (@FootballScoop) March 13, 2023
This basically confirms Bowen to QB coach.
Virginia Tech is expected to hire Maryland's Elijah Brooks as running backs coach, sources tell @on3sports.Brooks, a former head coach at high school power DeMatha, has had two of his running backs drafted in the last three NFL drafts.https://t.co/DlIXY6813V pic.twitter.com/QpMgj8Y0tL— Matt Zenitz (@mzenitz) March 13, 2023
Who do you want for replacements? My vote (for realistic candidates) is Tino Sunseri for QB coach and Todd Washington for OL Coach.
Who else y'all like?
Been making the rumor mill for a few days. Apparently Rudolph interviewed on Saturday morning, and things progressed from there. https://t.co/UZA6Ou6UOB— Chris Coleman (@ChrisColemanTSL) February 27, 2023
Not official on Notre Dame's side yet, but looks like having an awful offense doesn't keep you from losing coaches.
Bowen and Pry have their work cut out for them.
He continues to make moves. Definitely a bright future ahead for Ryan.

Figured this was a worthy PSA for anyone still subscribing to The Athletic for VT coverage. As of tomorrow, there won't be any anymore.
I'm not sure what's next for me, but I've thoroughly enjoyed covering the #Hokies these last 11-plus years. I covered Hall of Famers and loads of interesting teams, wrote a book, won a lawsuit (!!) and met some great people along the way.— Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) February 24, 2023
Potential movement on #Hokies staff. Brad Glenn and Cincinnati coach Scott Satterfield share App State roots. https://t.co/DHDDGq5hYM— David Teel (@ByDavidTeel) February 21, 2023
So it's that time of year where the underwear Olympics are happening, and while I don't have any images to put out, I do have my some of my favorite things....numbers.
So what are the updates?
BIG GAINS ON THE D
DTs Pheldarius Payne and Malachi Madison were both the biggest gainers at 15 lbs. Payne is now up to 275, while Madison is now north of three bills.
Jordan McDonald has embraced his DE move by gaining 12 to get him in the 250 neighborhood.
Likewise, LB Will Johnson added a dozen to hit 230.
Other linebackers also lifting bro are JR Walker (now 233), Jayden McDonald (now 240), Alan Tisdale (232), Keli Lawson (220), and Jaden Keller (228).
