Virginia Tech Injury Report

[Loose Cannon]

There's no way you're on crutches from a new injury on Tuesday and 100% on a Saturday. No pain meds or tape are that advanced. I hope the kid tries to gut it out and Joe runs right by him for a sack fumble scoop and score.

Okay so you have to feel 100% to play well enough to win? If this LT doesn't play, huge advantage for us. But if he finds the field it's not going to be an automatic easy matchup. We don't know how he's feeling.

If he plays at 100%, our guys are good enough to work him over for a few big plays. If he suits up at anything under 100%, we're going to destroy him.

He was in a boot and on crutches Tuesday.

Peoples is their #2 RB.

Yes and since then they have been saying they are hopeful/expect him to play.

Think he’ll be 100% ?

I have no fckin clue, and neither do you.

Well, actually, I'm not a detective, but one might think crutches and a walking boot on Tuesday to be some sort of a clue as to how healthy a person might be come Saturday.

I mean, if I'm on crutches, you can pretty much count my *** out of work for a week, and I have a desk job. I'm not trying to stop 300 lb athletes from getting past me 80 times for an hour.

Yeah, you have a desk job. You're not a scholarship athlete about to get drafted.

Nitpicking my statement is fine but my original point stands true. I think we're all assuming if this guy plays he won't stand a chance against our d line because of the injury. We just simply don't know how this guy's feeling. Plenty of times the boot and crutches can be PRECAUTIONARY. I'm just trying to tell everyone there's a reason he's questionable and not doubtful or already ruled out.

He's questionable because he don't want to give Diaz a definite backup to game plan on. Fuente wants us to have to contend with the fact that they may have a health O-line, instead of being able to spend a week game planning on a weakness. It was on another thread earlier, but we've film studied their backup LT who came in in relief last week. He's a 5th year SR with good size at 6'8", but has no bend, and not nearly enough athletic ability to contend with our edge rushers. I mean, it's a pretty standard rule that if you haven't won a job by your 5th year, it's because of some glaring deficiency. Fuente obviously wants us to have to plan for the chance that their starter my be healthy.

I don't blame him. As a defensive coach, you have to respect it. But I'm just a fan, and I'm throwing out my opinion that it's all smoke and mirrors and the guy gets no where near the field.

 

[Hurracanes]

I want them all to play I want any excuses

You’re that guy.

I hope you're right. Just count me as skeptical since there seems to be some optimism coming from the VTech side of things.

I think there's always optimism from a fan perspective. We tend to call it homerism. I hope you don't think I'm dogging your opinion. It's completely plausible. I disagree with it, but at this point is doesn't matter. He's questionable. Our guys have to scheme both as if he's playing and as if he's not. I'm betting he doesn't play, but if I was DC, I couldn't gamble a perfect season on a hunch.

I want them all to play I want any excuses

Not me. I just wanna win.

I'm totally fine with excuses. Just get the W.

 

[PUNCICANE]

Has it been confirmed that their LT is out?

 

[GenericYesMan]

Has it been confirmed that their LT is out?

Probably won't be confirmed until warmups at the earliest.

But the chatter doesn't sound good.

I’m curious as to how healthy Rosiers throwing shoulder is.
