Or line him up at A, have him sprint downfield fast as he can go and see if he can outrun the defensive backs for a touchdown completion.

One way Custis could get himself on the field more often would be to prove he can stay in front of a rusher for a count of two on passing plays. Neither Sims nor Laskey had much luck with that last year. Seemed to me many pass plays never had a chance because the B back couldn't hold up a...

I know what PJ is saying about Custis, but you can't help but snicker a little. Why exactly is it that people have such high hopes for Custis? For me, it's because the coaches have shown huge confidence in him since he signed.

There is more information in Ken S's column this morning. It seems that a five defensive back set is going to be our base set much of the time. JHD would not be on the field at linebacker much anyway, so why not try this?

If the point of this is to get a better pass rush on sure passing down, I'm all for it.

This is fair and sensible but who knows if it will happen. It would appear to be a factory vs the rest of us issue, with factories preferring the status quo.

I haven't read everything in this thread, but I have read most. I don't think I have seen a game between Tech and Tennessee in '66 or '67 mentioned. Both teams highly ranked, Grant Field, final score 6-3 Tech.

I fear this it what is holding Francis Kallon back. If he can't overcome that, his career will look a lot like TJ's. Even after years in the program and being told over and over he had to play lower, as soon as the ball was snapped, TJ would come up. If you don't play low naturally, I don't...

The great write-ups about the offensive linemen competing in the spring reminds me of something which has been nagging me for some time. After a poor game, when asked on the radio show, PJ would almost always point to a number of times when our linemen blocked the wrong guy or failed to pick up...

We run a strange offense in many ways. Most teams have a set of starters and others play situationally or to give the starter a blow. We play six or more A backs every game. They are always going in and out. Maybe it's not a bad thing that we don't have clear starters. I've seen some good...

A guy who sounds like he knows some football says that one of the reasons our wide plays always seem to have ten guys waiting on them is they don't fear the B back enough. I'm another who hopes Custis comes in and lays claim to the position. But regardless, if we have great blocking from...

At times it seems to me there is something systematically wrong about our pass receiving. I always thought that a team which didn't pass much should have receivers wide open when it did. And sometimes that is the case. But it often seems that even with one on one coverage, our guys are...

I hate to throw any more negatives at Vad. He is no longer here and it just doesn't matter. But this was something which bugged me from time to time. In the Georgia game he had a chance to run for a big gain but chose to throw a pass to a completely covered receiver. He always seemed to have...

Once during one of the radio shows this year callers were pressing PJ on why JT wasn't getting more playing time. PJ let his coachspeak guard down and made it crystal clear his big problem with Justin was he doesn't carry the ball securely. Boomer apparently is aware of that issue too.

Eric, this might sound dense, but... Does your reference on Cheeks as someone to watch mean someone else who might be leaving or someone who might break out this year? Thanks.

This is great news! Does anyone know what kind of shape Burden and Autry are in for spring practice?

I have only been reading this board about a month, but one thing I picked up on immediately is that there is a heckuva lot less of this than on the Hive or Stingtalk. I have often thought of the same point as dressedcheese but never expressed it. You can disagree with people in a civil and...
