I think Ken does a good job in GT coverage. He does have the "deer in the headlights" choke when it comes to asking CPJ questions. Reminds me of my mother-in-law who would completely come unfocused at the counter when ordering a meal. She would panic and order things she would never eat. She...

Agree except IMO Marshall will spell both sides at OT and be the emergency backup at center, with LEE LT and Klock RT. Since Cooper will need a backup in 2018 I believe we should start working with an incoming frosh center who can RS and be ready as a backup as a RS frosh in 2018.

I do not get your point about "outmanned" or starters "tiring out". I named 9 players who covered kicks and punts in 2016 (they were not outmanned). Only the Austins were starters. There are many other quality cover guys available such as Curry, Cole, Campbell, Kerr, H-Anderson, Kagawa, Camp...

DT? Probably committee action. DE is deep with Freeman, Simmons (WDE), St Amour, Merriweather, and Woods (SDE), but two of them are seniors and two are juniors. LB is deep for a 4-2 but the pecking order not so clear: Mitchell, Alexander, Jackson, Lewis, Cooksey, Curry, and maybe a freshman. ST...

D coaches typically like the trench warfare and physical issues, the repetitious grind, the hand to hand combat fundamentals, and the manly part of the game. O requires organization, coordination, skill development, timing, movement execution, and innovation. (A lot of things are shared by O and...

TMarshall has the MLD curse. He is talented and versatile enough to play 3 positions. Unfortunately there is a line ahead of him in all 3 positions. Hopefully he will keeping grinding and something will open up for him (a la Perkins). I like him at AB. If he red shirted he would have a year...

I agree that CPJ is fiercely competitive and I like that about him. I agree that he chooses to do what he thinks is the best for the team to win. No doubt. Building a football team is like a business. You choose your business model and execute. CPJ has his business model for a team and it...

Agree about the true 2 headed QBs with CPJ but a second QB in a game where we go into the 4th Q far enough behind to need our best throwing QB, or situations where a pass is obvious to everyone. Putting a Devine or other pass protecting (BB) players in as well should be an option in those...

I am all for building depth and keeping starters fresh. This also boosts team morale. Roof seemed to do a god job at this in the past but this year he stayed with his LB starters and DBs more than in the past . CPJ (and I am a big fan) not so much. Coach has mentioned this in the past that OL...

Agree with above points except my projected improved player on the DL is Branch who I think is well ahead of Adams at this point, particularly at pass rush and making plays in space. He played more than Adams against UK for a reason.

Corey and AJ gave us solid safety play this past season and showed improvement as the season progressed. However, we did not see much backup play at the position except a few downs by JJohnson and Kagawa . I assume the backup pecking order currently is JJohnson/Kagawa, Campbell, and Cole. Any...

CPJ says the 2016 team was young, only 10 seniors (with only 6 or 7 players with significant playing time). The 2017 team will have only 12 seniors, but 10 are major contributors with lots of playing time. In addition the younger players such as Gray, , Braun,, Bryan, LSimmons, Henderson...

Two carries but a penalty on the second nullified the play. Both impressive runs.

My kudos for playmakers on special teams: Butker for clutch points and consistent deep kickoffs Rodwell for flawless holding on PATs and field goals and improvement in punts Stewart for exception ball handling on punt returns Lewis for maybe our best all around ST player Wilson for flawless...

Its blue because if it is game time or earlier the GT fans as usual have not arrived yet. After the game the east section 20 yard line to 20 yard line was almost all GT as the fans watched the post game stuff. However the rest of the stadium was previously occupied by mostly UK fans. I believe...

The ref did interrupt his pursuit but he was already losing the race anyway. No way 73 catches a 40, even with a couple of stumbles. The ref however had a chance but PJ pulled away once he started picking up his feet. Several players stumbled during the game. It seemed, rather than slipping...

I believe it was 2 to 1 or worse . It was mostly GT on the east side between the 20's but UK dominated the other 270 degrees in the stadium and it was almost all blue on the west side goal line to goal line. Outside the stadium before the game it seemed much worse that 2 to 1. As usual GT fans...

I had a great view from my seat at the game. The middle was wide open. A pooch or hard squibb past our front line was easy pickings for UK as Cottrell was way deep and all by himself. We were protecting the sidelines but not the middle. I was very afraid of a UK possession. But fortunately the...

I assume those were called dives with blocking vs TO with option?

And the Morgans and Ivenmeyer.
