News from Summer Practices

[EvanGWatkins]

Georgia tech worries me as well. I wish that we had them in Lane this year so the crowd could fuck with their calls at the line.

Ga Tech always worries me, that offense is crazy to defend...

 

[Hokie200proof]

Maybe I'm just an armchair coach and I don't know any better...


but I think Leal throws a pretty ball. I think we're going to be ok at QB for years to come (is he a RS Frosh?).

Yes RS-Fresh and yes he does have some great instincts and throws a great ball. He will do fine in the future if he ever is thrown into any games down the road. I still hope we land Bucky Hodges though

 

[NickVT10]

I don't think GT will be as good without Nesbit. He ran that offense perfectly

 

[HokieGhost]

Hahahahaha!!!

Yesterday my ears were offended by what I thought was a demon being exorcised from a child. Turns out it was David Wilson cheering for Beiro

Bud Foster feeling better about depth at safety with James Hopper. Still concerned with lack of depth on D-Line.

[NickVT10]

Dyrell is 3rd string FL now? MD must have had a really good camp.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Coles is at least considering a redshirt. I wonder if Roberts would as well.

 

[NickVT10]

I agree Coles should consider it. It would give him 2 years as a starter basically instead of 1. Roberts may want to if he is 3rd string.

Backup RT and C Michael Via is out with an ACL, severity and specifics unknown at this time. A thin line gets thinner. #Hokies

If true, hate it for Via. Painter will have to move up at RT, and Ferris will have to move up at OC. Both were pretty close to the 2-deep anyway.

Bruce Taylor made the mistake of challenging Andrew Miller to a wrestling match in locker room. Within seconds, Bruce whined "Chill! Chill!"

Still nothing official about Mike Via's reported ACL injury?

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

I have heard that it is a tear. What us his redshirt status?

Via's a R-Jr this year. If he's gone for the year, he could apply for a medical redshirt.
