Pirate1 10 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 The guy has a ton of talent. It's just been fun watching him tonight in a real offense for a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 From a UVA guy, I'm glad to see Royal do well. I respected him at VT, really seemed to have a lot of class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bold prediction there after one game against a horrible team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabidbeaver 90 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Maybe the Raiders are horrible but Royal is still a good receiver and plus, he was schooling his former teammate Deangelo Hall...In spite of Halls attitude he is still one one of the best DB's in the NFL. I guess time will tell but if tonight is any indication of how good he can be then he is starting off on the right foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â It's amazing, Royal saw more action in one NFL game than he did in four years at Tech. For those still sipping the Beamer/Stinespring kool-aid it's another hole in your argument. What a waste of talent, imagine what he could have done at the college level at a school with an offensive coordinator... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a waste of talent, imagine what he could have done at the college level at a school with an offensive coordinator... Â As I watched the game, I thought the same thing. It saddens me. I even got nostalgic and watched Hokie highlights from past seasons on YouTube to really sad background music. Makes me wonder if it will ever be the same :( Â I wish Michael Vick was here to hold me. Â (the 99-2000 one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a waste of talent, imagine what he could have done at the college level at a school with an offensive coordinator... Â You do remember that there were three other quality receivers that he had to share time with that are also in the NFL don't you?? Last I checked the game is played with only one ball per play. Eddie returned punts, some kickoffs, caught passes, & ran reverses. Overall he got the most touches behind the QB and RB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VivaFutbol 10 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 He won't have as much success the remainder of the year for two reasons: Â A. They played the Raiders. B. When Brandon Marshall comes back he will be pushed to the #2 WR. Â I am as big a fan of Royal as the next guy, but I don't know how long this will last. He isn't the biggest receiver in the world. He did play well and I am glad to see former Hokies doing well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hokie07 11 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Eddie Royal came up huge again today for the Broncos. He didn't get as many touches (considering Brandon Marshall was two receptions shy of breaking the single game record for receptions with 18) but came up huge with both a touchdown catch and the game winning two point conversion reception in the game's final seconds.
