I am a recent fan. Grew up in rural Minnesota and have lived in the north my whole life so no connection to the area or the school. I am a fan of the option based offense and a huge fan of CPJ so for me I became a fan in 2008. That said, it is much easier being a fan of a school like tech where...
I joined Instagram just to see the clips he posted from spring practice. Well worth doing so. That footwork drill he posted last week was absolutely ridiculous. He accepted me to follow him within a day or two and it was pretty painless. As a side benefit I got an Instagram account before my 11...
To me the most exciting part of Thomas' play is how he really runs the TO and in particular reads the b-back give on the base TO. Midway through the season it seemed like the percentage of true TO plays as opposed to designated gives or keeps went through the roof. In the OB I recall only a...
At airport in shanghai flying back to states so I will have a 38 hour game day in some alternate universe. I saw a guy here in shanghai wearing a GT sweatshirt at the airport but couldn't attract his attention.
YELLOW!!!!!!!!!!!
When he was talking about his trust in JT, what was he saying about the possibility that JT could get more play calling responsibility in the future? Did he mean that it is possible that JT could at some point have the freedom to call the plays in certain cases like old school quarterbacks...
Is anyone else concerned that this is really an attempt to get a rule change? My guess is most people complaining about the increased injuries due to cut blocking may very well know that is not factually supported but are lobbying in public for a rule change to further restrict cut blocking...
10. Every play is "the triple option".
11. Running backs aren't prepared to play in NFL due setting up too close to line of scrimmage.
12. Quarterbacks are injured much more than traditional system.
Thanks everyone. If anyone is willing to let us crash a tailgate let me know. My daughter is a total lightweight so she will probably only drink a six pack. (I shouldn't even joke about that. I will probably get arrested by child services or killed by my wife). We will definitely check out...
Let me get this straight. I am coming to town for one day from chicago and it is going to be 50 degrees with hurricane force winds? (Ok. Maybe slight exaggeration but that is still pretty weak). It damn well better be a great day for the TO.
Sorry to ask for advice but any suggestion on what...
Also as just a fan with no technical expertise I always thought the b-back as fullback concept was simply based on the idea that in the most base play out of the system the a-back motions at snap into what would be the tailback position in a traditional I-formation alignment and therefore at...
I feel like that old SNL skit where Nicole Kidman was doing the Australian phone sex line "I have no idea what you just said . . But I love it!"
Seriously I wish I knew a lot more about the option but that is why this site is so great.
I think I definitely need to hang my head in shame. To put your mind at ease though I am not a GT grad so at least I am not bringing you all down with me.
My 11 year old daughter asked me this morning in the car in the way to school why I like the option so much and I tried to say basically what that Miami fan said but he said it much more eloquently than I did. Sad state of affairs to be out-eloquented by a Miami fan but so be it.
I am far from an expert but it really looks like they are running a lot of true triple option now as opposed to designated gives. I know it is impossible to know completely whether there is a designed give but he really seems to be riding the B back mesh a long time which is a great sign. To me...
I have been lurking a long time but never posted before. First of all I wanted to say this is a great site and I greatly appreciate all of the breakdowns by longest, boomer et al. Second As to the "boring" critique I wanted to mention that there are a number of people who are GT fans now because...
