Whiskey, you may be right. I'm mostly a TV fan and it's hard to see the whole field on passing plays from television views. But I share danny's perception that JT tends to look first to whoever is lined up on the right side.

There is one area where I agree with 33 -- the defensive ends. The lack of a pass rush has just killed us in recent years. Maybe Ted will come up with some more creative blitzes, but the blitzes I have seen from him are predictable and not all that effective. Meaning we need badly to have a...

Seems like I remember that ND and Clem had smallish, super fast and athletic middle linebackers. We could not get a body on them and they made an astoundingly high number of tackles.

Ken's series is changing my perception of the whole '16 class. I didn't remember how much potential these guys have.

It would be hard to dream up a better GT prospect. He plays a position we have traditionally had a hard time recruiting. He already has the size; often our DTs must grow into the role. And then the intangibles: Smart, articulate, great priorities, strong work ethic. Dville says wish we had...

He grew on me quickly and I came to really like him. Same feeling I get whenever someone I like moves on, sad but happy for him if that's what he wants. We have managed to keep finding winners for the radio voice. Time to uncover another one.

This is good news. Adding Freddie to the mix, if WB is the real deal and Shamire drops some pounds, that gives us a strong central three. Among the many arguments as to what went wrong last year and what would fix it, one pretty convincing argument was that the B back up the middle threat...

This is what it looks like to me. The Dbs have no fear of anyone running past them, plus they can count on their rush getting to JT soon. So they play tight, knowing they only have to stay on 'em for a few seconds.

Pass protection only marginally better than last year. But that said,... Echo the point about receivers getting separation. Plenty of times with all units if someone had been open when the quarterback was first ready to throw, the protection would have been good enough. I don't know why...

Good list, Techster. Can't think of anything to add. I would like to see a ferocious pass rush from the front four, but then as AE 87 points out, if it happened, I'd probably just worry about the offensive line.

Interesting. I hadn't heard that. In fact, I haven't heard a peep about the wide receivers so far.

My memory is that his playing time dropped off mysteriously. The injury was not talked about until much later in the season. Young, you may be right about the broken hand. I'm just happy to see him get a trial at QB. Jordon may develop quickly; I dunno. I think with these option...

One other thing that sticks out about this game -- we had more talent. How often can you say that about a Tech - Georgia game? We had memorable players on both sides of the ball. I only heard the names of a few UGA guys who were high impact. I have no recollection at all of their quarterback.

The offense is well designed and well coached. Add an impressive level of talent. Who was OC? Was this the Painter era?

Another big thanks. That was one of my favorites of all time. As you say, many similarities to 2008. The losing streak had become unbearable and the win was the more satisfying. One personal difference was I thought we had an even chance in 2008. I had little confidence that we might get...

I will be curious as to how much Alabama sleaze he will bring over. Will he start running off players who don't perform as well as expected? Will he promise kids a scholarship in October, only to the same kids in January: "sorry, but someone better has come along. You don't have a...

ilove, I have been waiting impatiently for a long time to see Cottrell. We'll have to wait longer still. I read not too long ago that his rehab in not far enough along for him to practice in the spring. It'll be August.

I'm not sure what to say about the pass protection issue, other than I agree it is a huge problem. In my low level view, it looked like many defenses sold out to stop all phases of the option leaving a pass as the vulnerable area. But since the QB was overwhelmed immediately after the snap...

I watched a little of Oakland vs San Diego Christmas eve. Since I watch practically no pro ball, I waited to see in any former Jackets showed up for either team to decide who to pull for. It didn't take long to hear Attaochu's name called. In the little I watched, he was in on whole bunch...

What reason does PJ have to think Marshall will make a quarterback? Did he play it some in high school? From what little I saw of him, he is quick and athletic enough for the point guard aspect. Is there reason to think he can throw the ball?
