Prokies in the NFL: Week 10

By Brett Smith | November 18

We are back with our weekly update for our Prokies! We had some blowouts and some absolute heart breakers as we enter the back half of the NFL season.

Offense

Duane Brown

Brown and the Seahawks were handed their third loss of the season from the Los Angeles Rams, putting them at 6-3 on the season. However, Brown hasn't slipped up one bit. He is the fifth ranked tackles in the NFL per PFF grades.

Wyatt Teller

HE'S BAAAAAAACK. Teller was out for a few weeks with a calf strain, but returned in week ten with a vengeance. He actually increased his PFF grade and still remains the number one rated guard. Grab the syrup!

Logan Thomas

Thomas has now had three different quarterbacks targeting him this season, but they have all been consistent in one thing: finding him on the field. With Alex Smith back at the helm, Thomas recorded 4 receptions for 66 yards in their close loss to the Lions.

Defense

Chuck Clark

Clark recorded seven tackles in the Ravens loss to the Patriots on Sunday night. However, there has been some controversy around Clark's offside penalty late in the game.

With 2:40 left on the clock down 23-17, it was 2nd and 2 and Pats had the ball. Clark ran offsides, which seemed like he just blew the game....but that might not be the case.

Instead of the Pats getting the first down (which was likely), he created a catalyst to try to get the ball back faster. Instead of four run plays (the 2nd down run and three following runs), he made it three. The Ravens also only had two timeouts and the two minute warning...which adds up to three plays to stop the clock. It worked! Lamar got the ball back with 1:05 to go, but couldn't close the gap.

That is some high IQ football.

Terrell Edmunds

What a season the Steelers are having! They remain the only undefeated team after their rout against the Bengals. Terrell recorded eight tackles in their 36-10 win.

Tremaine Edmunds

Tremaine recorded 10 tackles this week in their heart breaking hail-mary loss to the Cardinals. He seems to be back on track with two games in a row with double digits for tackles.

Kendall Fuller

Kendall recorded eight total tackles in their close loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Kyle Fuller

Kyle recorded a tackle and a pass deflection Monday night against the Vikings.

Tim Settle

Big Tim recorded two tackles this week for Washington as he gains more playing time.

The Joey Slye Section

The Panthers ran into a buzzsaw against Tampa Bay, but that didn't unnerve Joey. He hit a 46 yarder in their loss, putting him at 20-25 on the season.

Bonus Section: Coaching Special!

Last week there was not too much to share for Coach Arians after an embarrassing loss to the Saints. Arians flipped the switch this week, sending the Panthers home in a 46-23 win for Tampa Bay. The Bucs are still a scary team, it just depends if they want to show up or not.

UNC VT

Welcome to the Terror Dome my fellow Hokies. I am a 2019 graduate of Virginia Tech with a degree in Agribusiness along with minors in Communication Studies and Entrepreneurship. I come from a Hokie family. My mom, dad, sister, grandfather, uncle, great uncle, two cousins….you get the point, I bleed maroon and orange. I can’t even remember the last time I missed a Virginia Tech football game in person or on TV, laptop, iPhone, or even radio (the 2003 Texas A&M game). I am located in the beautiful small town of Seaford, Virginia working for a coffee company in research and development. In my free time you will see me playing golf, fishing, or playing electric guitar. Yes, I know how to play Enter Sandman. So to my Sons and Daughters of Hokie Nation, START JUMPING!
