    Running Back Depth

    It just goes to show how daunting a task recruiting a full roster of players really is. It is hard to know how many injuries, transfers, or academic / disciplinary casualties you will face as a program. Suffice it to say, you can't just recruit directly to the number that should result in a full...

    MSU Defense

    If you had to build a defense that was really good at stopping us, it would look like this: 1. Two beasty run stuffing DTs that are near impossible to push back or beat with quickness. Just being large and physical isn't enough. We play lower than most teams and come out quicker. 2. Two DEs...

    Well, let's root for some red birds this evening too. Please.

    Looks like CTR.....

    Well, knocking two balls out at the goal line helps. So does holding the ball for 36+ minutes on offense. I am really glad CTR is going to be here for a while and I do feel we improved some over the course of the season. However, I am still not confident in our defense. The biggest thing you can...

    looking ahead B Back

    Here is hoping ZL and SD pad their lead come Wednesday night! I still see this as a position of concern because we need quality depth. A twisted ankle can happen at any time. I have no doubt Leggett is as good as advertised, but we need somebody behind him who can get it done. I like our...

    Looking Ahead - WR

    The 2014 season produced one of the better years in terms of starting tandem WR receiving yards in the CPJ era, surpassed only by the 2009 campaign, led by BayBay's 1154 total yards and Stephen Hill's 134. But please keep in mind, there is still a game left to go for this year's team, although...

    MSU Defense

    If MSU gives up only 3.69 per rush on average, we are in deep kim-chee. We need to average over 5 to have a good game. I think we will be able to run on them, just as we have against everybody, but it will be some tough sledding along the way. Hitting the occasional big pass would be a huge help.

    Looking Ahead - OL

    I am just going to say up front, that I am sure I will fail to do some of the players justice in this thread. So, if you have anything to add about certain players, please do! We just have so many kids in the pipeline right now, I am really not familiar with some of them. Obviously the level of...

    Looking Ahead - AB

    So true. The kid had a knack for making plays when they had to be made. It didn't matter if it was just moving the sticks with a 5 yard run, making an important block, or game winning TDs. One play that I'm sure gets overlooked because we lost the game, was the (should have been) game winning...

    Looking Ahead - AB

    While I agree that Snoddy will most likely be an explosive and productive player next year, predicting him to be a 1000 yard rusher is more than "glass half full", it is more like glass overflowing. It is pretty hard to run for that many yards as an AB in our option attack. The number of carries...

    I find it interesting how UNC continually has problems with player toughness (mentally and physically) under Fedora. On the surface, he looks like a very intense disciplinarian, but his teams don't seem to reflect that at all. Additionally, I keep hearing about how great their recruiting has...

    Nice work by Ken

    I hadn't thought of that, but it sounds like a great idea. There have been several successful centers in the league with builds just like his. Awesome!

    Looking Ahead - AB

    Yellow Jacket nation is facing quite a bit of turnover at this critical position heading into 2015. In fact, it is probably the greatest reloading challenge we have faced in CPJ's tenure. In prior years we have had to find a way to replace the likes of Roddy Jones, Orwin Smith, or Robbie...

    Nice work by Ken

    Watching that UGA film, we just ran the ball right up his back repeatedly. It was like having a dominant fastball as a pitcher. Once in every few pitches we changed speeds and location to keep the hitters off balance, but we were coming back to the bread and butter. You had better believe it...

    Smelter!!!

    When I watch stuff like that, all I can do is think about how much fun it would be to be a WR in this offense, especially if I were good. CPJ's offense gets a really bad rap in terms of WR play. We should que up that reel every time we have a WR recruit waffling or wondering. Deandre got a...

    Nice work by Ken

    It will be interesting to see how Mason gets treated by NFL scouts. How much of a market exists in the league for an elite level drive blocker with slightly less than ideal body frame dimensions? I really don't know, but I can't imagine a scenario where Shaq wouldn't be highly valued by somebody.

    Play from 08-09?

    We use the QB draw quite a bit. When you have QBs that can really run, why hand the ball off? Having Dwyer at BB was a better alternative for the draw because he was a better / faster open field runner than Nesbitt. That really hasn't been the case the last few years. I'm not sure what you mean...
