Saturday evening Tony Zenon married Abby Baines at St Ives Country Club in a wonderful N Orleans flavored ceremony attended by hundreds of friends, including several GT footballers. Tony and Abby have graduated and settled into jobs in the NE Atlanta area. D Hill and Q Nealy were in the wedding...

There was talk of Merriweather redshirting last year. I did not see him play. If he did RS he is only a RSSo. Anybody know for sure about his class eligibility?

Both Benson and MLD are in a very competitive spot at either AB or BB. With the talent of MMarshall, Leggett, Allen, Quade, and Mills at BB their skills at perimeter blocking and receiving may be the best options for Benson and MLD to see the field at AB in special roles. Upcoming practices...

Actually you can usually find the skilled O players with pretty good accuracy based on practice, but finding the D players, especially the front 7, requires game experience. The ability to find the ball and flow to it while shedding/avoiding blockers is a skill which only shows up only in real...

Likely healed for contact Fall practice.

IMO This analysis is somewhat short sighted. It seems to assume the 2017 recruits fill an immediate need. Not so. Most of the 2017 recruits will not make 2 deep contributions until 2019, so the 2019 roster should be the primary guide. As such we will desperately need OL, safeties, and SDE as the...

I believe Benson was injured in the high school playoffs about 13 months ago and entered GT in the Fall while still rehabilitating. Not sure how much contact practice, if any, he has had at AB or BB.

I believe Bill Curry made a similar change in weight after his playing days.

Biggest disappointment: no improvement on O as the season progressed Biggest surprise: Clinton Lynch from total obscurity to trying to get on the bus to our most consistent performer on O

Yeah. But not just about CPJ or Dodd. Today it's a different time and a much different game. In Dodd's time the offense did not have the athletes to score often and from anywhere on the field. Defense dominated the game. Field position meant more than the number of O possessions. Quick kick made...

J Johnson S or WR? I would like to see a freshmen moved to C so that in his third year he is ready to start. Will all three OTs (Griffin, Klock, Bryan) stay at T or will one move to G?

Hope Lynch was at least runnerup.

Not to mention that separation for most teams is a yard or so. In our passing it must be several yards as our delivery (agreed it is unduly rushed) is not that precise. I believe our "separation" is based more on scheme and deception and not on route running and throwing precision.

Not near enough motor or stamina for D.

I tend to agree with your overall assessment but I think Lynch deserves a lot of credit for his contribution this season. Consider: He was a late signee as a projected AB even though he played WR in high school. Nothing in his past to suggest he would be a game changing AB. As a freshmen he...

I was stuck in traffic after the game and turned on the 750AM DAWG postgame discussions. Kevin Butler and the commentator were discussing how GA won the game. One of them remarked that you can beat Tech by shutting down the run because they cannot pass: "they think they have a passing game but...

Disagree on Henderson. He is needed inside and with St Amour, Freeman, Simmons, and Merriweather at DE there is not much room. Sellers is also a SDE candidate.

Freshmen on the line because the seniors played so poorly they got replaced by the Freshmen later in the season.

When the OLB lines up inside our OT showing blitz we should have the WR go long between the CB and S and the AB go on a quick down and out. I saw this completed one time to the AB for a first down in the Miami game. It will work or it will stop the OLB from lining up inside our OT. It is a quick...

I agree. One year I thought I had plenty of talent (9 players were coach's kids and they all thought they should be the QB). The year was a disaster as nothing seemed to work and we compounded mistakes and poor play with more of the same. I had another team that was so untalented that we failed...
