Moore has been a HUGE disappointment....I think we will look to upgrade in the offseason. Dude whiffs on way to many tackles

Re: Redskins sign Macho Harris
 

I realize being great in college is definitely not the same as being great in the NFL, but I can vouch for the guy....he's got talent. He definitely played for a great defensive coordinator at Tech and got some good experience playing in a very good defense in Philadelphia. I think Harris will help us out.

Re: Redskins sign Macho Harris
 

Great signing! (as a VT fan i'm biased) but I've always been a fan of Macho. He can definitely help our secondary and he's a better FS in coverage than Moore or Doughty. He's not the fastest guy, but he's a gamer and a ballhawk.

haha hokies took the bait. gotta love it. Seriously though, UVA has turned out better pro talent. I started typing it all up, but I got lazy, so just look at the bottom sections of the links. Note, VT has no HOFs.

Okay okay, MAYBE he's not a bum, but he's not something to talk about.

He is 2nd in the league in picks.

Bruce Smith is an NFL Hall of Fame inductee. It's called reading.

Thanks to Jay Cutler who I think MOST of us can agree on is blah. Hall can't cover for shit. Sure he has good hands, but if he could cover he might actually have double what he has.

I'm a Hokie, but I won't "take the bait" on this one. I think your argument is about right, UVA has turned out better pros overall, but not by a great margin.

Look at that list from the past decade though. Sure, UVA had more 'blue chip' players that went in the 1st round or even top 10 (Monroe, Ferguson, etc.), yet during that time (Groh's era) we have owned UVA, only losing once. Groh had some great recruiting classes, as did Welsh, but they didn't always lead to good teams. Groh's 2002 class was pretty hyped up, but things didn't work out. (btw, I'm a little worried about saturday simply because we have little to gain by winning, we're in the title game already).

FYI, Bruce Smith was a 2009 inductee in the HOF. A good UVA student (I'm married to one) would never assume Wikipedia's page is always correct or up to date! :)

Yes, but 6 picks are still a pretty big deal, especially since one of them was ran back for a TD and basically helped us in a big way win that game. I don't think Hall is Namdi or Revis, but I think that 73 tackles, 6 picks, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovered, and 2 TDs make him a pretty good player this year. If our team could actually capitalize from those turnovers with TDs instead of FGs I think he'd probably be talked up a bit more.

Come on Hooskins, I understand your a Wahoo and it must be frustrating...where has that program gone? Just dont bring the hate to the Skins cause that program has made seriously bad decisions and while Tech has dominated the last 15 years in the Va area...

And Don Strock would have been if it weren't for that damn Dan Marino!

Cheap and available is a good way to put it. Maybe Macho spent some time recently at a Parisi Speed School.

I'll agree on that, hell in the end he's the reason I got to see us beat Dallas for the first time at Fedex in person.
