    Dwyer Interview

    His draft status fell because he showed up 30 pounds over weight. Period. But I'm thankful for what he did at Tech and enjoyed the interview

    Defensive Change is on the way

    I love this move. Freeman and the other DEs are light in the seat. This gives us a chance to mix up our blitzs more as well in my opinion. If we are going that direction, I'd love to see Shamire moved over to nose. I would think could be taught to be a beast there, particularly if the nose is...

    Looking ahead

    Not to be overlooked was the dramatic improvement in pass protection this year. I'm not sure if it was tweaks by PJ, the addition of Ron West, new guys up front, or a combination of factors that made such a difference. That to me was the most important thing that improved our passing game.

    We Are All

    I don't disagree regarding the concern of us not finishing drives. However, I think a major issue is our guys getting tight and pressing on offense. There is way to much pressure on the players, coaches, etc on O due to how bad we are on defense. I don't think it's going to get any better this...

    If we paid him like Clemson pays Venables he may.

    Well, by very good I mean everything you read says he is one of our best but that's all relative right? He could be one of the tallest midgets

    Assuming PJ is the coach, yes, at DC. Part of the issue with Roof and the challenge of not having him on the staff is he is a very good recruiter. I've always been told that Strong is a very good recruiter.

    Well...

    Charlie Strong should be available.

    Our Offense

    Hill wasn't elite, but he did have elite speed. He proved that at the combine. We lack explosiveness at the WR position now and cannot get separation. The corners gave us a huge cushion in the Thomas/Hill/Smelter/Waller years because they could run by you. We had options to run the smoke...

    Our Offense

    This was exactly my point and you nailed it. I don't want to change our identity our or bread and butter, just add a few wrinkles. I was excited when we hired Coach Cook based on his experience running different formations but nothing has changed IMO.

    Our Offense

    Love the offense but would love to see more of a passing package to mix it up. We have the personal to go shift to empty 5-10x a game and spread the D with their base package on the field vs them substituting to nickel. Clemson went empty a few times last night and it was an easy QB run up the...

    Loved the five finger death punch!

    Deandre Smelter

    He cleared waivers and will go back to San Fran. He was been placed on IR. I don't know if it's season ending IR or designated to play IR.

    UA or Nike...Please help.

    I generally like the UA uniforms but hope if we go the them they don't use the same mustard color they are using for Notre Dame's pants. They are horrid

    Deandre Smelter

    Still could have a great career. He will get claimed by someone or end up on a practice squad.

    Postgame BC

    Also, don't forget that their offense was so putrid that their D was on the field all game, every game. I don't have it in front of me, but I would assume that even in the games in which they gave up the most yards their D was on the field for a significant number of plays and you will still...

    Winning score, from Dublin Ireland

    I believe that the B Back can go in motion which is why it wasn't called.

    Spring game 2016

    Smelter, Bay Bay, and Hill all created significant separation. The smoke route we would throw to all three of those guys was open because of the cushion the DB gave them because they respected their speed and didn't want to get beat over the top. I don't have a tally, but I'm guessing we...

    Spring game 2016

    We get zero separation at WR. Either our DBs are outstanding or we have problems.

    2016 spring game roster

    Maybe we will have a guy that can break that first tackle on a smoke route. I don't think any of our guys broke one last year out there. When we had Bay Bay, Smelter, and even Hill that play could result in some nice gains.
