    I love our OL!

    I really like this group and think we could have a special year up front. Things were really coming together late in last season with returning players especially. For me, it is all about how good an off season they had. If they went through the motions and merely "mailed it in", then we might...

    Tenn vs App State

    I get excited for every season and every game of the season while it lasts, but it is extra special to be playing a big school like the Vowels in the new stadium opening week. It won't be long now.

    Bill Connelly's 2017 GT Preview

    I will grant you that he was the slowest of that bunch, but he could run OK for a MLB. Overall, that was a very fast group.

    Bill Connelly's 2017 GT Preview

    I accept your point about speed in last year's group. However, we have had some really fast LBs playing for us after K-Mike. Heck, I am not sure but I would guess that Phillip Wheeler (on the same team with K-Mike) was even faster as well. The group of Brandon Watts, Quashawn Nealy, Jabari Hunt...

    if tech was in the national championship game....

    Well, if we are in the natty game it pretty much means UGA would not be. We do play them last after all.

    GT 2017= what I have been waiting for on offense (Navy 2.0)

    I like the top two guys we have at BB right now. I'll stick.

    GT 2017= what I have been waiting for on offense (Navy 2.0)

    In response to the OP, referencing only stylistic issues (which I think was the original intent), to my eye, it seems there are differences between NAVY and GT. Over the last 5 years or so, covering the VL/JT era mostly, while the alignments look similar (without considering OL splits), we have...

    Jamal Golden now a GA at Georgia Southern

    He will be a great coach. JG was one of the best prepared players we have ever put on the field, week in and week out.

    JT and Dedrick place in all-time CPJ team

    One thing that hasn't been mentioned about the WRs in this discussion is the blocking component being a major factor in who lands where on the all time CPJ era ranking. For this reason alone, I would place BeyBey and Smelter way far clear from the rest of the pack in WR pecking order. Both of...

    How Much Longer Will Paul Johnson Coach?

    Great question and I have no idea. He has said many times he doesn't want to be coaching into his old age. Although I don't know him personally, he seems to be the kind of guy that is sustained by his competitive nature. What would he do with a sudden absence of a competitive component to his...

    Just a general question about recruiting ( not a specific player or team )

    The new early signing period is in December. I was merely pontificating about the discussion brought up many times about the possibility of a pre-senior season signing period. CPJ has been known to advocate for this idea. As of today, this does not exist.

    Just a general question about recruiting ( not a specific player or team )

    One thing I have thought about as a possible consequence of a pre-senior season signing period, how long will it be before schools start putting pressure on signees not to play their senior HS season in fear of injuries? Think about it. If you are a college program and you have signed LOIs out...

    Where were Dedrick's eyes? Oh boy.

    Nesbitt vs Lothridge

    We will never know how good Mike Kelley was. He had a good arm for sure. It is just that he was stuck on some GT teams that had the worst records in history.

    Now I remember who Mills reminds me of …

    Interesting comparison. Of all the TECH backs in my history as a fan, Bell is probably as close a comparison as you would find. By the time he leaves here, I think we will see DM in a different light than Bell, but as far as what we saw in his frosh campaign, I agree.

    ProJackets Update

    I was a bit surprised by JT's cone drill time compared to the other two comparison players. His 10 yard splits (being the fastest) were what I expected. Time and time again we would see JT separate quickly from players in the acceleration phase of his runs, then still have enough speed to hold...

    Preseason Accolades

    Haha. I was just about to chime in with a similar comment. Whoever, does or does not make the preseason list on this publication means nothing, or maybe I should say, close to nothing. I don't want to disparage the players mentioned, but if we are using this accolade as a measuring stick for...

    QB battle

    You are not the first poster to question MJ's throwing ability. However, I find myself wondering why. Is it the small sample size of the VT game last year? If so, I kind of understand it, but man, you need to look at his entire body of work to this point. This much is sure: MJ has a way stronger...

    Jet signed as Saint

    I'm glad to hear this. In my mind, JT has always been an offensive player. He belongs in the slot and returning kicks. Like Reynolds in the article, it might take JT a while to learn that position at the next level, but the payoff has the potential to be there. There is a ton of precision in the...

    Worth 8.7 Mill

    One thing that is interesting is seeing how play calling varied between the two BBs. CPJ obviously made it a priority to get MM the ball on the edge. With DM, not as much. It would be interesting to see (it will never happen) how each would have done with the other's play calls and identical...
