    Just read that his play fell off A LOT this year but they don't know why.  Does any one have any insights on this?

     

     

     

    I watched every game of his career (minus a few) and I sure didn't see it. He was first-team All-ACC this past season for a reason IMHO.

     

    Tech never had a great running back when he was there (or a great QB for that matter).... I can't wait to see him with Shady behind him.

    No way! Seriously, Scott? That's awesome. My son got into the School of Engineering. He wants to be either a mechanical or civil engineer and is finishing up a two year Engineering program now in high school being taught by VCU professors (my alma mater). He was accepted to the VCU School of Engineering, as well, and was offered a partial scholarship but VT was his first choice so it's on to Blacksburg this fall.

     

    I was Civil Engineering at Tech back in the dark ages (early 90's). I love it when the Bills draft Hokies! It aligns my college and pro football worlds. :D

    Someone said he didn’;t get along with a new staff. IDK

     

    Not true (I'm a 23 year VT season ticket holder). He gave some attitude to the coaches and they temporarily demoted him from the first team to let him know who was in charge. It took about a week or so for him to regain first team status. They gave him a message, so to speak.

    He's a road grader who should benefit from the process. Butted heads with the new staff at VT a bit, but a solid talent.

     

    We may know each other. I've been a Tech season ticket holder since 1994 (although I sell a lot of my tickets these days).

     

    Teller is an Incognito clone in my opinion. Plays the game like he dislikes other humans. Was our best run blocker the past couple of years for sure.

  5. Allen is a physical freak of nature. Huge arm, quick release, etc. NFL coaches are always arrogant enough to think they can "fix" everyone who enters the league with some flaws. Some team wants this kid badly and is hoping he falls in the draft so they can grab him later in the first round. Hell, maybe it is us and our new GM is hoping he can engineer a fall to #12.

    The more I think about it....i think using our picks is the way to go. Rebuild and reshape the roster with cost controlled talent. If somehow we could get to number 2 that’s the only way i personally would get really excited about the prospects of a qb. Grabbing Lamar Jackson in round 2 would also be a dream but isn’t happening. I’m just glad I don’t have to make these decisions.

     

    I agree. We have an aging roster with a ton of holes that needs to be filled. Watching guys like Nick Foles, Blake Bortles, and Case Keenum get their teams to championship games make me think trading up for a QB perhaps isn't the best move. We can get a QB at 21/22 or in the second round and still fill some other holes if we don't package the picks to trade up.

  7. Saw Jones play several times (twice in person) and he catches everything near him. 22 catches against South Carolina last year (on the road). A few years ago when ECU beat Virginia Tech, the ECU QB was basically just throwing 50/50 balls up deep and Jones time-and-again kept coming down with it. As a Virginia Tech fan it was infuriating... but now that Zay is a Bill it makes me happy!

     

  8. Uninspiring retreads is pretty much our M.O. as an organization. I was at the game (in Tennessee) that led to Olson being fired as OC by the Jags. He deserved to be fired. That Olson is a "top" candidate tells you either (a) we lack imagination in our hiring processes or (b) anyone worth their salt wants no part of the Bills organization or ( c ) a combination of both.
