He took the threat of Drones running off the table because Drones was hurt

We need to protect the QB more, not less

NSIR here's a detailed snapshot of us from CBS Sports -**

Good read.**
Hockeydad • 02/18/25 02:04 PM ET
Nice to see he recognized how close we were to being better, fans forget**
soflahokie • 02/18/25 10:46 AM ET
We were close, but...
BuffaloTraceHokie • 02/20/25 10:35 PM ET
Does it matter what fans remember? Records matter
WildTurkE • 02/18/25 12:22 PM ET
No**
PhotoHokieNC • 02/18/25 02:31 PM ET
Very thin margin between winning and losing, and that margin was the DC
Happy Dog • 02/18/25 11:15 AM ET
Disagree on the OL play.
marcbvtgm • 02/18/25 12:21 PM ET
PFF and OLine Yards stats don't paint a good picture...
QCP • 02/19/25 02:10 PM ET
well then, I guess it's good that none of those guys are back haha**
GusDaMan • 02/19/25 02:27 PM ET
unfortunately, our good OL are moving on...
QCP • 02/19/25 03:13 PM ET
thanks, I was just being a smart arse, I know we would very much have
GusDaMan • 02/19/25 03:53 PM ET
LOLOLOLOLOL
OGHookie • 02/18/25 10:33 PM ET
@marcbvtgm I guess poor @OGHookie has bad reading
BG Hokie • 02/19/25 11:35 AM ET
Drones' left disagrees with you
Happy Dog • 02/18/25 06:16 PM ET
He took the threat of Drones running off the table because Drones was hurt ◄
dbc05 • 02/18/25 05:12 PM ET
He immediately took the threat of Drones running off the table Gm1 vs Vandy
marcbvtgm • 02/18/25 06:07 PM ET
Drones had more carries than anyone else on the team against Vanderbilt**
dbc05 • 02/18/25 06:13 PM ET
Do you really want to go play-by-play?
marcbvtgm • 02/18/25 06:36 PM ET
The OL sucked. Success was in spite of that fact.
Seikoh_04 • 02/18/25 04:10 PM ET
The OL line was flawed but didn't suck when used properly.
marcbvtgm • 02/18/25 06:14 PM ET
The 2024 OL did fine? What metric demonstrates that our OL did fine? Our OL
BG Hokie • 02/18/25 02:54 PM ET
fyi - french's analysis is behind another paywall**
Scream_On_D • 03/12/25 09:39 PM ET
I know as it should be.**
BG Hokie • 03/12/25 09:58 PM ET
Good grief, your lack of reading comprehension on display yet again.
marcbvtgm • 02/18/25 03:35 PM ET
My reading comprehension was off? You didn't assert that the OL "did fine"?
BG Hokie • 02/18/25 03:55 PM ET
Good god, you really can't read, can you? Read the ENTIRE sentence!!!
marcbvtgm • 02/18/25 06:00 PM ET
Is this you giving up? You didn’t say they did fine?**
BG Hokie • 02/18/25 08:22 PM ET
Thanks for the link.**
saret • 02/18/25 09:23 AM ET
Article references “return to high level college football”, thought he was
1977hokie • 02/18/25 10:45 AM ET
Now that's funny!**
saret • 02/18/25 10:51 AM ET
Good and fair article. He acknowledges how the breaks went against us
VTCALS72 • 02/18/25 07:42 AM ET
We must be watching different games. I didn’t see “breaks go against us”
HoustonHokie • 02/19/25 10:00 AM ET
OK, here is what I call "the breaks" things that coaches cannot control
VTCALS72 • 02/20/25 10:16 AM ET
During our big plays, our opponents slip and collide too. Your insistence
HoustonHokie • 02/20/25 07:55 PM ET
Sure they do and they lose some games because of it
VTCALS72 • 02/20/25 09:49 PM ET
Sure, we lose because of bad breaks, not inexperienced and ineffective
HoustonHokie • 02/21/25 07:58 AM ET
I like the article, but not sure I agree about Drones pro potential.
TekkNerd • 02/18/25 08:30 AM ET
Yeah, I think he can be really good for VT, but there's been nothing that
reestuart • 02/18/25 12:43 PM ET
I'm buying that either. But he can be a great college weapon.**
marcbvtgm • 02/18/25 12:23 PM ET
The odds of a QB making it in the NFL are so rare
WildTurkE • 02/18/25 12:16 PM ET
I agree...No way Drones plays on Sundays
VTpartimer • 02/18/25 11:54 AM ET
Neither did Jalen Hurts before he went to play for L Riley
hokiepro • 02/18/25 01:27 PM ET
Eh, that's a bit revisionist. More like a decent NFL QB prospect got passed
BG Hokie • 02/18/25 04:00 PM ET
Drones has all the measurables..better than Hurts
hokiepro • 02/18/25 04:22 PM ET
I have some oceanfront property in Kansas City to sell you**
hokiehowl • 02/19/25 08:25 PM ET
He’s going to measure as well or better
hokiepro • 02/19/25 10:52 PM ET
He'll measure well, and they'll try and figure out if he can play RB or TE.**
reestuart • 02/21/25 09:20 AM ET
I don't believe that for a second. He's not as fast as Hurts. I doubt
reestuart • 02/18/25 04:50 PM ET
Drones is the same height as Hurts but slower? I'll bet an annual TSL
BG Hokie • 02/18/25 04:27 PM ET
Drones is at least 1-2” taller and is 235 to Hurts 223
hokiepro • 02/18/25 04:33 PM ET
Hurts is an NFL combine verified 6'1" at 222 with a 4.59. Drones is listed
BG Hokie • 02/18/25 04:51 PM ET
I didn't think he was an NFL starter at the time
Seikoh_04 • 02/18/25 04:16 PM ET
Well, even after Oklahoma he wasn't picked until the back half of the 2nd
BG Hokie • 02/18/25 04:21 PM ET
Really? Hurts wasn't an NFL prospect at Bama?**
marcbvtgm • 02/18/25 03:37 PM ET
Yeah, but Drones isn't going to play for Lincoln Riley.**
reestuart • 02/18/25 02:26 PM ET
And Hurts was able to play for Riley because...he was an NFL prospect.**
marcbvtgm • 02/18/25 03:38 PM ET
Yep. **
reestuart • 02/18/25 03:47 PM ET
Game mgt and ST
CMU Hokie • 02/18/25 07:54 AM ET
Yep. Wouldn’t it be great to spread his optimism around TSL’s
PhotoHokieNC • 02/18/25 07:54 AM ET
fair assessment **
