    I'm sure it won't. Just offseason discussion fodder.

    Duplicate Numbers

    Looking at the roster on rw.com, we have TONS of duplicate number guys (which is allowed as long as they aren't on the field together at the same time). On one hand, I like this b/c kids love to have the "cool" numbers (i.e. 20s and below). On the other hand, it will be something for coaches...

    Expectations?

    @boger2337 I don't want to delete my last reply, but I don't want to get bogged down in the old/new regime debate. I don't care what we do, how we do it, or what it looks like... as long as it wins.

    Expectations?

    I guess we just disagree on measures of success. I'm a GT football fan. I like to see GT football win games. I don't care how many draft picks we have. CPJ won more games at GT than most could have. I hope CGC does the same. I think he can. But he'll have to in order for me to be glad we...

    Deep From The “What If?” Drawer

    I hope we can redshirt Yates. He may prove to be able to do the things in the run game that TO can do and also bring the passing ability that LJ seems to have. If so, play him from day one.

    Expectations?

    Once again, it is possible to be excited about the new direction while not denigrating the old regime. To claim that the entire team was only putting in 70% effort for CPJ is laughable. We got more out of the talent we had than any team in the country. That doesn't happen when kids aren't...

    Deep From The “What If?” Drawer

    I'd be pleasantly surprised if we keep it under a 24 point deficit. I actually think what could make it interesting would be special teams. If WW nails a couple long FGs, JT breaks loose on a KR return, and PHIII can consistently boom punts that don't allow Clemson's athletes to get big...

    The Official 2019 Adidas Swag Thread

    I've taken most of the summer off, and then I realized I was sitting on post 1499. My 1500th GTSwarm post is the following request... GET OVER YOUR HATE FOR BLUE!!! ;)

    GT - Offensive Base Run Plays

    Why does everyone assume we are going to run a ton of RPO? Did we in the spring game? I've mentioned it here before but I think some folks aren't clear on what an RPO play actually is. The last couple posts above explain it well, but it is a very tough play to execute. It isn't just...

    GT - Offensive Base Run Plays

    That was a good look. Can't wait to have some offensive film to analyze again.

    Bill Connelly's Georgia Tech Preview

    The data may be crap, but the article itself is a great look at the transition from CPJ to CGC. Very objective about both eras.

    ESPN article

    I agree. I’m referring to the assertion that the on-field success GT had during CGC’s past stops here was so much greater than the last decade. Because it wasn’t. But I am 100% on board with the direction CGC is moving.

    ESPN article

    Even though he overhypes his whole, "when I was here before we were top 10 and on Game Day", I understand exactly what he's doing. And it's the right move. There's no reason to act like GT was in a dark place the years he was gone. But to some extent, he has to talk that way so that he can...

    Schematic Advantage, Ralph, Bill O'Brien, and for some reason Silicon Valley

    Minor quibble here. I have been "optimistic and hype" every single spring for my entire life. It's my nature as a fan. I disagree with the "lack of buzz" for a decade. How can you claim there was no "buzz" around the program in 2008, 2009, and going into 2010? How can you claim there was...

    Bold Season Predictions

    QB competition in the fall will be intense. Before spring practice, I thought JG or TO could move to WR if they didn't pan out at QB. Now WR looks like one of our deeper positions. TO played it in high school (idk about JG). Unfortunately I could see a transfer from our QB group (happens...

    TECH OFFENSE

    I keep seeing the acronym "RPO" pop up in posts about what our new offense will look like. I wonder if there are some who do not fully understand what this term means. "Run/Pass Option" is a specific set of plays that are designed to run block while the QB can make the decision to give it to a...

    Way Too Early Starting Lineup vs Clemson

    Are most folks just betting on KB not being fully recovered from injury? B/c in my opinion, he was on another level than JM and JH (i love both guys).

    Spring Practice

    A friend of mine worked as an official at GT's scrimmage this past Saturday. He was impressed with the "feel" of things, how the offense and defense moved around (basically looked like they were picking up schemes and not looking lost), and that the coaching staff was communicating well with...

    Spring Practice

    I think this is the best way to maximize the potential of our secondary. @Ibeeballin , do you think that unit will be the strength of the D? There just seems to be so many big, rangy, tweener athletes back there that I'm hoping to see unleashed!
