Hacker 82 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I caught that. He is also still listed as starter at corner. I guess they want to get him more touches. It could also light a fire under those young receivers to step up in spring practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futbolking 766 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Hokies have a lot of voids to fill this year. I think they will still be very competitive, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MavsRock 21 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I guess they feel they need something to help what was a fairly bad offense last year. Unfortunatly with the Off. Coordinator they have, I don't think putting Randy Moss at WR would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BHS72 10 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Does anyone know who has been on the offensive line's first team throughout these first few practices? I believe Tech's offensive line will dictate the season they have offensively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue_Crue 49 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I believe kicking Ore off was the right thing to do. I'd heard that last years seniors had some bad apples and you need to get rid of them. Ore was a bad apple, as a coach once said "Never sacrifice discipline for one winning season because it will kill your program in the long run." Could someone tell me how Florida State's been doing as of late? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMan 3,569 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 How about this little tid bit for ya... ...Boone to FB... Wheeler and Smith seem to have the TE spot covered...got to put your best players on the field... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluessuck 10 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Ore really hasn't been to productive as of late and the recruiting class will be fairly good. I don't know bout boone because Tech really doesn't do as much with their FB's and you never know if one of the tightends will be getting hurt. I'd love to see tyrod taylor have more reps this year and movin macho to WR, isn't that kinda like what the bears tried to do with devin hester???

Hacker 82 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Boone at fullback would make the position a threat in the offense again. He has learned to catch, can punish as a blocker and is familiar with carrying the ball from his days as a H.S. QB. Ahh, spring practice where all kinds of experiments can be tried. I can't wait for the spring game on the 19th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BHS72 10 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Has Boone lost the beer belly he had last year? He was way out of shape last year.

I've never heard of him...who does he play for??? You mean Shuman, the center??? He'll be the starter when the season begins. As for Boone, from the pics I've seen, he looks to be in good shape but still weighs in at 290... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He and Wheeler torn ACLs during the season and one of them was going to have a longer road back then the other due to the severity of the tear.
