    Spring Preview: Running Backs

    Along with wide receiver this is the most overstocked position on the team. Here is how I would rank them: J. Mason (J. Howard) C. Malloy J. Griffin J. Gibbs T. Amerson D. Ellison D. Smith B. J. Swilling I don't get moving Howard to linebacker unless he is one bad mother and is going to crush...

    So who leaves? Attrition.

    Competition is King! Let's see who is left standing after spring practice. At least 5 have to go. Go Jackets!

    Yeah, I don't really know what the hell happened. It certainly is an area for improvement going forward so I will hope for better results ahead. I know Wells has the academic credentials to have a scholarship in that regard and I assume King will be fine and graduate as well. Best of luck to...

    Spring Preview: Wide Receivers

    To me Camp does not have the moves or speed required to be a top tier receiver. He is a big athletic guy but he is not a great football player. I wish he was. After 4 years here he has achieved very little. I hope he has a breakout year but I do not expect it. I really don't see him as a...

    Spring Preview: Wide Receivers

    Just my observations. First we have way too many people at this position, once you get past 5, the rest are not playing unless someone gets injured or if they happen to be outstanding on special teams. Here is the way I would rank them: A. Brown M. Carter A. Sanders M. Ezzard N. McCollum P...

    Collins should have just left Wells alone and gave him the starting job. He was near perfect in 2018. He was God awful, as was King last year. Kicking is 90+% mental and Wells just couldn't handle whatever he went through in competing during the off season. You can say that's on him but I...

    Spring Preview: Offensive Line

    Connor Hansen leaving hurts us on the O line. I thought he was our best offensive guard. Hopefully DeFore and Minihan can step up their play. Go Jackets!

    Spring Preview: Quarterbacks

    Total crap shoot going into 2020. So far no one has established themselves as the QB of this team. Graham has a leg up due to experience but we can not win with him playing the way he did in 2019. He has to make a major leap. Yates to me, seems too short to play at this level. The 2...

    Spring Preview: Tight Ends

    We got to just keep chopping wood here. Last year we had some productivity out of this position but not as much as we needed. I like the 2 guys returning and the Ward kid coming in looks to be great size. Here is how I would rank them: Tight Ends Deveney Leonard Ward Johns This might be a...

    Spring Preview: Offensive Line

    Well when the other 3 freshmen get here that will make 19 guys plus a handful of walk ons competing for 5 positions. Most teams actually only play 7 to 8 guys in their offensive line rotations. that means 11 or more guys standing around and hoping something happens that might allow them to...

    Spring Preview: Offensive Line

    Seemed like this group never really jelled last year. We had a whole lot of injuries and played hell having any continuity. It seemed like pass protection was very inconsistent and run blocking was up and down as well. Here is how I would rank the returning lineup: Tackles Z. Quinney C...

    Spring Preview: Secondary

    In general, I thought this group did not live up to it's billing last year. I think the same could be said for our entire defensive unit. I felt that this group would be the difference makers on that side of the ball that would elevate us from low tier to at least a high middle tier unit...

    Spring Preview: Linebackers

    Since we only play 2 linebackers, depth here should be limited to 5 or 6 at the most. That's about where we are at. The issue is that we really do not have any outstanding talent on the current roster. Curry is a solid player and gives it everything he has and I am hopeful that he will have a...

    Spring Preview: Defensive Line

    According to Ken S. at the AJC, Jamal Camp has been moved to the offensive line. That is why he was not listed in the D Line article. Go Jackets!

    Spring Preview: Defensive Line

    Yes our coach has described J. Lee as NFL level talent so I would expect he will be a monster but based on what I have seen from him throughout his career, I feel doubtful we will get a lot of playing time out of him. I agree on Clayton, he looks the part but so far he has spent most of his...

    Spring Preview: Defensive Line

    My thoughts: Depth chart for defensive ends Antwan Owens Justin Dingle Chico Bennett (needs to add weight) Jaquan Henderson (needs to add weight) Antonneous Clayton* Sylvain Yondjouen (needs to add weight) Curtis Ryans Luke Johns 6 players is gracious plenty here. I look for Ryans and Johns...

    We lost a true Jacket fan this week ...

    My condolences on the passing of your Dad. Had I known him, I am sure we would have been good friends. Always have great respect for what I call Tech men. You don't have to have graduated from Tech to be a Tech man. I count myself among that group. Take care of yourself and your family. Go...

    Player most excited about seeing

    Chico Bennett, Jr. I think he is going to be a really good outside LB'er. Go Jackets!

    Geoff Collins in with Chuck Oliver

    I wouldn't give Oliver or Chernoff the time of day. They have never done anything other than crap on Tech. I know Collins is spreading his gospel but for those 2, I would tell them take that 77 mile drive so you can put those lips right on the Dawgs arse! Go Jackets!

    Future of CFB - Transfer Portal?

    I see this evolving into a system where programs can actually trade players and a future scholarship spot for the players they covet and need to balance out their rosters. Players will be able to enter the portal based on their personal whim at the moment and the schools will be able to place...
