1) All but two media questions for Bud Foster were focused on Kendall Fuller. Kendall has locked down the nickel corner spot, and now is in competition for the starting field corner spot with Brandon Fayscon. It sounds like Fayscon will be at the field spot when Kendall is on the slot. Foster commented that he can't recall any true freshman being more ready to start at Virginia Tech than Kendall, and noted that his fundamentals, body positioning, and athleticism are off the charts. I would not be shocked if Kendall ends up being the starter.
2) Coach Beamer commented that the inside (centers and guards) positions on the offensive line are pretty much set. He is looking for consistency at tackle, hence Mark Shuman getting reps against McLaughlin and Gibson at both tackle spots. He didn't tip his cap as to who was the favorite.
3) Coach Beamer commented that DJ Coles is heavy, and that may be contributing to his continued knee trouble. He was very complimentary of Charlie Meyer.
4) Beamer attributed Logan's struggles last season to the inability to run the football last season. Beamer said he thinks that Trey Edmunds can be that stud back and commented that Trey made some nice catches in practice over the last couple of days. He also likes the move of Caleb to tailback.
5) Beamer was asked about Zach McCray. Beamer complimented his character and athleticism, but commented that he needed to "play faster." That worries me, because McCray seemed to struggle at defensive end because he was overthinking the position.
6) Beamer again complimented fellow Abingdon High School graduate Mitchell Ludwig as a kickoff specialist. He called Ludwig's sore back "our biggest problem in the kicking game." It sounds like Beamer is very happy with Hughes at punter, Journell on field goals, and Ludwig as the kickoff guy. He noted that Hughes hang time really makes him stand out.
I lost the feed for the offensive players and Scot Loeffler. Please check out twitter.com/andybittervt for more comments on the offense.
