    Jemea Thomas tweet

    The one thing from the CPJ offense that might have hurt Jon is he didn't get to catch many passes. The ones he did wound up being huge gains. But being the B-back allowed him to show that he can handle tough running between the tackles and he has a burst when he gets outside. You also have to be...

    AJC: Interview with Will Jackson & David Sims

    JT is all kinds of exciting, now. Some of it is bad exciting, but he is exciting. If he learns to value the football, I think he can have a terrific year next season.

    AJC: Interview with Will Jackson & David Sims

    like the man says, you not happy with your playing time? Do something about it. Be better in practice.

    So who's gonna play right tackle for us this year?

    Of this play above, wouldn't a little dump off screen with Laskey, and the A-back OL pulling in front leading the way, be awesome? Let Laskey chip that guy, and now he's got 2 on 2 blocking ahead of him. Of course, JT has to be able to stay upright just long enough to get that off.

    So who's gonna play right tackle for us this year?

    I'm with ya on this. I'd love for Chamberlain to come out nasty in spring and take control of that spot.

    Finch and Godhigh talk about Justin Thomas

    Raymond Gross was the same way at Georgia Southern. Won two national titles, played for a third. Best option QB, in terms of reading and executing it, this side of Jamelle Holieway at Oklahoma. And they used to say in the huddle with Tracy Ham, in fact, the first words said before every play...

    Opinions on Ken Sugiura

    Well, more and more papers are going that route or the "metered" route, where you get x number of free visits to their stuff before having to get an online subscription (or a free online pass if you have a print subscription). I'd bet Ken and any other beat writer isn't in the office more than a...

    Opinions on Ken Sugiura

    I wonder how much the online and social media presence - blogs, tweets and the CineSport video segments - cut into Ken's time and ability to crank stuff out every day. And how much of the focus is now directed toward those platforms, too.

    Vad Lee - James Madison University

    Good luck to Vad. He pick up his books yet?

    legarrette Blount

    Blount's a free agent after the season. Give Dwyer to Coach Hoodie and he'll either make him or break him.

    UGA DC Todd Grantham to Louisville

    Smart would be smart to stay where he is. When Saban gets offered his dream job of official Little Debbie oatmeal crème pie taster, the Alabama job is his. Besides, even if he and Bobo are BFFs, how would that look if he comes over for 7 figures and the HCIW title? As for Georgie's D recruits, I...

    Opinions on Ken Sugiura

    John Hollis did a good job covering Tech back in the early 2000s too.

    Opinions on Ken Sugiura

    The first parts of that are certainly true, but it really isn't his job to be the voice of the team. He can't really get into, for lack of a better term, cheerleading. He does get to build relationships with the players and staff that most columnists never get to accomplish because of his day to...

    Opinions on Ken Sugiura

    Coley, I think, also left the FSU beat at Tallahassee for another gig. Can't remember what it was but I don't recall if he was on their beat this season. And before Roberson, there was Knobler, who I think left the AJC to go to law school.

    Opinions on Ken Sugiura

    As a beat reporter, that is exactly his role - to stay objective. He can provide analysis but the opinion stuff is left to, for better or worse, Bradley and Schultz. They're columnists. It's their job to provide perspective, rightly or wrongly. Ken, as a beat guy, is supposed to be neutral, even...

    Opinions on Ken Sugiura

    Four guys in their sports department, and they've never really staffed Georgia Tech for anything. They rely on their Athens sister paper for Dogs coverage. They used to have seven people in sports. Now they have four. And I think Morris News Service (Savannah, Augusta, Athens, Jacksonville)...

    Opinions on Ken Sugiura

    Editors have little to do with what a reporter writes, other than telling this is his coverage area and perhaps going over story ideas. A guy like Ken isn't told to write a story a certain way. If he is, then either the guy telling him isn't acting a professionally and needs to be dismissed or...

    Opinions on Ken Sugiura

    I think Ken's been an upgrade over the previous Tech beat writers. Does a great job in season with updates, news, blogs and actually can write. Didn't always think that way of some of his predecessors. Keep in mind too he and his wife have a 2-month-old, so he could be a little busier than usual...

    Bobinski on current state of the Football Program

    True. As PJ has said, he had someone calling the plays for his first couple of games as Southern HC, then decided to take it over himself. Nobody knows the offense better than he does. After getting gouged for 55 points in the 98 NC game, PJ spent more time with the defense in spring practice...

    For Those Who Think We Are Far Off

    Iowa was 4-8 a year ago, maybe two years ago? They fell harder and faster off the Orange Bowl appearance than we did. And yet, they were in a New Year's Day bowl this season. I don't know if another Orange Bowl bid is in the offing for this team, but a little more consistent play could mean the...
