VT vs. Northeastern

September 2nd, 2006 Leave a comment Go to comments

Quick thoughts while I’m taking a short break from being at work :(   Found a link to watch the espn 360 presentation.  While I’m a fan of being able to see tech play on the internet, I’m not a fan of the restrictive setup they’ve got with the verizon requirement (not that they enforced it once you broke out the actual stream link from their packaging).

  • Looks like Glennon has a pretty good grasp of the offense, answered most of my questions.  I’m still a bit skeptical of his arm strength and his ability to look-off the defensive backs and disguise where he’s throwing the ball.
  • Wow our offensive line has a shitton of work to do.  Gogo freshman decision making!  Saw Render looking so lost and leaving Brown alone to block 2 guys more times than I wanted to count.  And of course there were some injuries that’ll really hurt the already thin depth (mcgrath and frye).
  • It’s the return of the fullback!  I saw at least 3 passes to the fb
    which is 3 more than that position got all of last year.  Guess they
    really don’t have faith in the TE yet.  Not that I blame them as Boone
    whiffed on his first catch and bobbled his second.
  • Wide receivers all look great.  Harper looks like a beast.  Royal just got hurt.  Clowney still has stone hands sometimes.
  • Ore and Bell looked ok, but their final numbers won’t impress anyone.  Didn’t really need to use them.  Also, all the OL issues didn’t help.

Msgboard note:  Someone posted that there was sign on gameday that read: “Brady Quinn’s sister likes the D” (his sister is married to Aj Hawk, rookie LB with Green Bay) hahahaha gotta love Notre Dame bashing.  (sorry robert).   Hate all the media slobbering over ND.  Makes me want to punch someone.

  • Kam Chancellor looks fantastic for a freshman.  Had an interception overturned on replay that was a crazy good 1-hand grab.
  • Adibi otoh looks like he’s going to be running laps and doing a ton of pushups at 6am at practice due to 2 almost back-to-back personal fouls.  The defense as a whole definitely looks good though.
  • Special teams looked pretty good til the end when they put in the kickoff kicker to try a fieldgoal.
  • Hm, Victor Harris looks like he’s playing tecmo bowl trying to run circles around people while returning kicks.  Note:  You’re not barry sanders, it doesn’t work, and you look like a retard.
  • Got their first blocked kick of the year!  Go beamerball!

Ok that’s all for now.  Back to work.
