Uh Oh... Covid Roulette continues...

Thank heavens McCloud is out

 

[King Slayer]

Vegas knows we are *** on defense and get lit up by backup QBs and starting ones

Silver lining - Does McCloud being out actually help us?...

 

[warpigs58]

McCloud being out vs the other players being out is a net positive, and I now expect the Canes defense to play much better. We are going to smash Va Tech now!!!

Thin OL ~ negative
Jordan back ~ positive
McCloud out ~ positive

Canes win!!

no. They like to run and you need to be able to rotate at LB. McCloud is average at best but you would still like to have him playing some snaps

There isnt a program thats not affected by this right now.

This problem isnt exclusive to just us

 

[cooks002]

Maybe teams that cancel games but still get ranked know something we don't.... Oh well, let's get this W!

OL is unaffected unless someone goes down with an injury. There is a sharp drop to our #6 OL now.

pass rush will be affected slightly. JHH and Harvey will hurt the 3rd down rush package.

i don’t want to **** on our own player but rather have Flagg than McCloud today.

On the other hand VT is missing a starting DE and their #1 cb. Their already awful defense is even worse today

Exactly. The turkies have 11 out, including a starting DB and 3 DEs. No excuses.

No excuses

From Va Tech board:




"7 of 10 are defensive positions. The VT defense would be much better with Garbutt, Belmar, and Waller, who were three projected starters at the beginning of the season. I don't like it that Artis in particular is out. VT is very thin at linebacker. Also, three DEs out so that is another thin position."

JHH being out is the only one that stands out to me

 

[BS85]

Disagree. Hopefully, this forces the coaches hand to play the more talented players.

None of the OL individually would stand out. But the number of them is very scary for depth. Pray we don’t have an injury

 

[Colombie]

TEs and RBs should have huge days.

Va Tech had Khalil Herbert warming up with special teams...... He took some warmup snaps with both 1st and 2nd team offense. Their board doesn't seem to know whether he will actually play or not. may be used sparingly or in key downs...
