  1. He's Back....

    This was Reggie's biggest problem IMO. He played like a LB at QB. I loved his competitiveness and think he would've been fun to watch in our current offense (if he could make the reads), but his aggressiveness played against him a lot of times. Some guys step their game up and play better when...
  2. Les Miles Met w/ Ted Roof in January

    Charisma and likability go a long way. Look at Dabo at Clemson. Those kids love playing for him and he is an unbelievable recruiter. Knowing how Tech works helps some I'm sure, but that's not a requirement to be a good recruiter at GT. Being able to relate to 17-18 year olds while at the same...
  3. Les Miles Met w/ Ted Roof in January

    That metric did a pretty good job outside of the ND. Anyone watching that game knows the only reason we had a chance was because of our D. We had 7 drives where we mustered 10 yards or less. 5 (3 or less) and outs. Both of our FG opportunities were set up by our D/ST. First, after a good punt...
  4. Les Miles Met w/ Ted Roof in January

    I don't know how much this mattered as a whole because this happens everywhere, but it definitely played a big role in the "regression" of our best defender coming into the year. PJ Davis was noticeably banged up to the point where I think he was hurting us some by gutting it out and staying in...
  5. Biggest need for 2016 (offense edition)

    Smelter was very physical from the get go and has always been a great athlete. I never said he wasn't good either, just that he wasn't the same player in his first as he was in his 2nd. He was a very good player in 2013, but he made great strides to make himself a more complete WR from 2013 to...
  6. Biggest need for 2016 (offense edition)

    Yes. All we need to do is execute every assignment at an extremely high level or have a freak WR and this offense works like a charm. No need to even try and think of ways to improve upon what we do.
  7. Biggest need for 2016 (offense edition)

    Godhigh was great, there's no doubt. The rest of them had done nothing up to that point and didn't do that much after. If Waller was better, why didn't he start? We all know PJ values blocking from his WR's and that is why Summers started over him. Is he an easier target to throw to? Yes. Did he...
  8. Biggest need for 2016 (offense edition)

    Yards are cool, but you win games with points. That was another issue this year's team had. We could move the ball sometimes, but we struggled when we got to the red zone to put it in the end zone. Do you think turnovers just happen? The other team usually has something to do about that. Also...

    Nope, Vad threw for 4 tds against them in 2013. 2 of them slants to Smelter if I remember correctly.
  10. Biggest need for 2016 (offense edition)

    Didn't say they were. With regards to the level of competition, you're right, both teams were pretty good. In fact, Duke has owned PJ and his offense the past 2 years. Even last year's, most efficient offense ever. In 2013 though, "the failed experiment year," we blew them out. Vad threw for 4...
  11. Biggest need for 2016 (offense edition)

    Yea, that and every other offense in the PJ era including the ones with Dwyer, Baybay, and Nesbitt. If a team putting up 35+ ppg is doing something that doesn't work, what does said team look like doing something that does work? 2014 was clearly the best season weve had here offensively since...
  12. Biggest need for 2016 (offense edition)

    Did we look competent against ND or Duke? Those were 2 of the worst games the offense played all year.
  13. Biggest need for 2016 (offense edition)

    Where do you come up with that number? The only new person at the start of the year was a graduate transfer. Everyone else was either a starter the previous year, played the previous year and was in at least their 3rd year in the system. OL- 4 returning starters and a 3rd year guy with legit...
  14. Biggest need for 2016 (offense edition)

    We weren't a team full of young guys this year. We returned a bunch of starters on both sides of the ball. We were young at RB, I'll give you that but skill guys come in and play right away all over the country. We had a ton of them this year, but it didn't seem like they knew where they were...
  15. Biggest need for 2016 (offense edition)

    You misunderstand my argument then. I'm not calling for a complete overhaul of the offense. I like what we do under center and the trouble it causes defensive coordinators. I just think being multiple would make us harder to defend and give our qb (who was constantly running for his life) a...
  16. Biggest need for 2016 (offense edition)

    Please tell me what stats are the correct stats. I know you created the whole ppd statistic or that you are at least a big proponent of it. I agree that is a great stat as well, but I don't have the time to calculate it nor do I know the best place to look for it. I do know that the object of...
  17. Military Bowl: Pitt vs Navy

    Don't tell those on here that think we can only run our O from under center (because Paul Johnson said so) that Navy had some success running plays from the shotgun/pistol set. Also don't tell them that on the QB draw you are speaking of, the whole Navy line was in a 2 point stance. It's not...
  18. Biggest need for 2016 (offense edition)

    You know what's funny? After I looked up all of the stats to validate what I was writing and posted that lengthy post, I went back and read what you quoted. I quickly realized that what you said was a joke, but it was already too late. I think the issue was I wrote what you quoted almost 2 weeks...
  19. Biggest need for 2016 (offense edition)

    How people say this with a straight face baffles me. We scored more PPG in 2013 than we have in any other year PJ has been here outside of 2014. Yes, even more than 2009 with Dwyer and Baybay. Not only that, it worked a lot better than what we saw this year. Vad was also a first year starter and...
  20. Bill Belichick has nothing but high praise for Shaq Mason

    I agree with this. I wasn't ready for it my first semester by any stretch of the imagination. As I mentioned in my last post though, I think effort and work ethic have as much to do with being successful as anything else, if not more for those that are admitted into GT. I guess that's the "weed...
