FistingBot Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 As a Virginia Tech season ticket holder, I can tell you Teller absolutely dominated guys in college. Kid is a nasty run blocker. He plays like you just slapped his mother. He was VT's best offensive lineman by far the past couple of seasons and was arguably the best guard in the ACC over that span. Not sure why he lasted until the 5th round. Glad to see him finally start and do well in his debut. 2 2
Watkins90 Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 Everyone complains about Teller not playing, but maybe he simply wasn't ready until now. He was a fifth-round rookie. Maybe the coaches just felt he needed some more time in the weight room or something before putting him out there. 1

Unfortunately we need starters at the other 3 positions. Expand Patience grasshopper. That's what part of the $90M in cap room will go towards next year. 1

Good to see that they finally gave him a shot and that he played well. It would be a huge boost if next off-season we don't have to address starting LG. Expand He was rock solid in the preseason,our 2nd line/offense put up the most points out of the three units.He did allow a sack...other than that...straight up stud.

Its fine.....we were not doing anything this year and he is now on the field.....I am happy because we have him for a while.....now they need to improve the rest of the OL Expand Well, we will have to agree to disagree as I think there’s a vast difference between missing an assignment vs. being manhandled and/or outfinessed when attempting to pass protect. I don’t fault the coaches at all for giving him some time to learn the game a bit and develop before playing him. Moot point a anyway as he has earned the coaches trust and is now in the lineup.
H2o Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 I vote for Mongrel, you can see the fight in that dog on the OL.

Given that guys are getting kicked off the team and transferring left-and-right this season at Virginia Tech, I'm not sure Wyatt did anything all that serious (i.e., everyone seems to be getting in Coach Fuente's doghouse). 1 1

Both were at fault, to an extent, but Fuente had him in his doghouse to start the year. Of course he still got meaningful snaps in the very first game because he was better than his replacement, but Fuente got his point across. Also, his stats and play were still very good his senior year, just less flashy plays and pancakes. I don't know what the scouts missed, but he is without a doubt the best O Lineman I had the pleasure of watching at VT aside from Duane Brown. Edited November 13, 2018 by BuffaloHokie13 1 3

Expand I read that he has ADHD and takes a medication, adderal, to deal with the issue. He was also a workout warrior so his work ethic was evident. Maybe that was a factor in him sliding on the draft boards. The draft publications that I read prior to the draft had him rated as a third round prospect. So it was surprising that he slid to the fifth. Getting Milano and him in a lower round are steals for this franchise.

jahbonas Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 Lesson learned - when our offensive line wins the battles we (QB & RB & WR) all do better - we will face better defensive lines - top priority in our draft has to be top off lineman in rd 1 and another in rd2 - enough of the WR talk in rd1
