I know you always like to think our talent is not very good compared to the factories, but I often think you sell them short. The fact is I don't see good execution on the offensive line. Too often they turn a man loose, or miss a block, or lose the battle not because they got knocked on their...

Would like to see him at center for the Falcons. Although adjusting to the NFL and a new position could take a year in a backup role. At 6'1.5" with shorter arms he is probably too short to play guard.

We would have best FSU by 20+ if they played like this against us. FSU played their best game of the season against GT. I think Tech vs Oregon would be a good game. FSU losing takes zero away from what Tech did this season. Don't get caught up in conference pride and perception based on the...

It is hard enough to pull for one team, much less an entire conference. In the NFL you pull for all the other teams in your division to lose every week. Much healthier as a fan. With the way the playoffs are going (likely to go to 8 games in the next few years) the whole conference pride stuff...

He may have been underrated, because he suffered from poor QB play in the passing game, but a career that only has 461 yards and 1 TD is not excellent by any measure. I want two WRs that have good rapport with the QB, good hands, ability to win one-on-ones, that both get 25+ receptions/year and...

There are several questions going into spring (LB depth, B-Back, A-Back depth). The usual biggest question, defensive line, looks better on paper than it has in years. The largest question is at WR. We as fans have no idea what Tech has, but it is easy to observe how good WRs really help this...

Sounds like the time is now for another 3 game win streak against UGA. Here is to GT taking advantage of the positive press and the increased resources sought after by CPJ in his extension. Has anybody heard details of the extension yet?

It is simple. 1. Oregon wins (taking out Arizona) 2. Kansas State wins (taking out Baylor) 3. TCU wins (sole Conference champ) 4. Wisconsin wins (takes out Ohio State) 5. GT beats FSU! There will be several teams at 2 losses, but Tech and Wisconsin will be the only two conference winners. Tech...

Justin Thomas's accuracy is what is really important this week. Smelter made some big catches, but several were due to inaccurate passes. Thomas was inaccurate in the UGA game the first half. He needs to be money with his throws, in order to make his receivers look better. My biggest concern...

Go watch his film and tell me I am wrong. I want to be wrong. :). But while he looks good doing everything from the snap to 25 yards past the line of scrimmage, he just never pulls away and seems to routinely get run down by high school players. Granted it isn't crappy schools he is playing, but...

Any insider knowledge on what weight Leggett will play at next year (i.e. How is he doing in weight room?). I watched some of his high school and he looks to have solid vision, lateral quickness, and power. However he looked a little slow compared to Laskey and Days at the top end, which...

Not to derail the thread, but what will the B-back position look like? I don't have much hope for Custis to ever play at Tech.

Using that logic - It seemed like every time he was asked about Vad last year during preseason his response included praise for how good Justin Thomas is.

It is all in how you look at it. Only look at the pass play success rate for 2nd and 3rd and long for both shotgun and under center. Nobody is expecting a run in these obvious passing situations so the element of surprised is removed. The shotgun gives QBs a better vantage point of the defense...

I think there negatives are overstating things. This was the same guy that played man to man on the best WR in the draft (Watkins) and shut him down. He also shut down the number 1 TE in the draft from UNC and yet they say he can't cover TE's. I think his hips are solid, not a weakness, but not...

Which is why it has to go to 8 and have automatic qualifiers. It never needs to go past 8 though. ACC, B1G, PAC-12, SEC,BIG-12 conference champions automatically get it. The last 3 can be selected by the committee or some of the lesser conferences can have a play in game. I care less about the...

The same Jimmies and Joes that won 3 games last year? Coaching matters and scheme does also. Auburn did look crisp and well coached. Too often, Tech looks undisciplined, and does not do the little things right. I still want CPJ to succeed at Tech, but how many times since he has been here...

I disagree. You think all those recruits would be interested in the NFL if they only made 40k/year. Nope. Money rankings talks way more than "academic rankings". Saying GT graduates will make more money on average in their career than any other BCS school this side of the Mississipi will carry...

DCS, while most people like things to be easy, I doubt Tech's perceived academic difficulty actually has a negative effect on recruiting. Other schools would look bad to criticize "hard"schooling; and Tech would just sell the benefits and the support system in place. Not enough Winning, being...

I would doubt that is true, although I don't think having to take "Survey of Calculus" is a recruiting deterrent. The bigger problem is that there is only one math class below Calculus offered at Tech (pre-calc) and I don't think you even get elective credit for it. So guys can't come in take...
