[QUOTE="GlennW, post: 78299, member: 33"] I used to laugh when some of our offensive linemen would take their mouthpieces and use something to blackout areas to give the impression they were missing teeth, and then grin across the line of scrimmage just before the ball was snapped; kind of a "toothless grin" through the facemask so to speak. The guys looked so crazy you just didn't know what to expect once they started to drive at you. I think what VA Tech has shown us over the past several years is that they're willing to sell out up to 9 men in the box to stop our BB and QB from the start, and try to jump our snap count. They count on their DB's can cover our A-Back's and WR's one-on-one, including trying to "outphysical" them. For us to beat VA Tech, we HAVE to be able to take control of the offensive line of scrimmage from the snap of the ball, and dominate through the whistle. We know where we want to go with our players, and they try to "out-quick" us to the point of attack and keep pressing. I think we need to exploit it by drawing them in with some screen passes to the middle of the field instead of the outside receivers, and we can run the counter-options, but I would consider putting Waller in as an A-Back and set him in motion so he could lay a block for the B-Back counter, and maybe have someone else faster step into the B-Back position. I think we have more speed in our offense against VA Tech than they've ever seen, and if we can leverage the speed against their aggressive nature, it could be a huge boon for us. If we can break someone loose from the log jam Bud Foster will stack against us, then it will go for a long play, and my guess is that if Justin Thomas is the one who is able to break out, he may take it to the house because at that point, our WR's will be engaged with their DB's, and I put my money on our more physical DB's and fast QB in the open field.
