VT was a thorough beatdown but we looked like we were confused, lost and couldn’t do basic, rudimentary football stuff.
Ima breakdown a few plays on offense show why Saturday was a day to forget
Blocking:
This is so bad. This is a day 1 install play
outside split zone. This one play sets up 5-10 other plays. Problem is 3 different positions groups are doing 3 opposite things.
Let’s start with the OLine. Quinney has a defender on his outside shoulder and should be fighting to get his helmet across the defender chest. Instead e blocks down and leaves a unblocked defender
-or-
This was a read option and James missed the read for what appears to be for a big gain.
Perimeter blocking. This may be the 2nd biggest thing we’ve regressed in. We are atrocious blocking on the edge. To see a 250lb TE get physically beat and on a block is disheartening.
OL: Graham can’t even complete his play fake before there is pressure. I must admit, Southers did a great job blocking Casper on this play. His defender is no where in sight. I’ve never seen a pro where a Tackle didn’t block anyone
Bad decision making.
Hit the flat or throw the ball away.
Creative chaos
Patenaude attempted to give an unscouted look and we bombed it
1) This play had disaster written all over it. Instead of spreading out, VT defense compressed and brought nearly 8 guys to the LOS. This had a high a chance for a TFL. Not sure what happened to Lay, but Scott Morgan was at Center on this play
1st time i felt we really regressed in the process and not sure where everyone mind is now and definitely this past weekend. Let’s hope we bounce back Thursday night with a packed.
I’ll do some defensive plays later on

It took us 9 games to figure out how to move the pocket. At least we finally figured out what your average armchair QB knew since the 77th anniversary of the day that will live in infamy.
