Blocking. This has been another in a series of simple answers to simple questions.

I wouldn't feel so good about that. Most of us wouldn't touch social media of any kind with a fork.

And I can remember him simply taking a deeper drop. I never noticed the problem everybody keeps talking about. All good Qbs know what to do about finding open people, no matter what their height. Oh and how could I have left out Drew Brees? Just forgot, I suppose.

I agree, but we didn't hire him for his good taste. It's his coaching ability that is still in question, imho.

I had a spare minute so I looked up the starting lineup on OL for Tech's 10 - 2 1998 team. Average height = 6'4.5". Average weight = 306. Admittedly, this is skewed by Jon Carman, but Joe Hamilton didn't have any trouble passing over him either.

Hmmmmm. I do the math and get five. We beat Georgia in 2016.

FIFY. What I got from watching Yates will Milton to the state championship in his senior year is that he can lead. He gets the team down the field by hook or crook. He's also very accurate with his throws - 74% completions this week. So why wasn't he starting before? He was so-so against...

I used to get a big kick out of opposing fans looking askance at Tech fans when we had a 3rd and 4 in the fourth quarter and were cheering about it. All the Tech fans knew what was coming, at any rate. They'll run the dive until we stop it. The answer there is obvious.

In the interest of sanity, I'm keeping this to my responses, except the last. 1. Moncken was the obvious choice if we wanted to keep the TO, but Fritz was on some people's lists, mine, for instance, at the time (btw, he still is). Bohannon would have taken the job as well and probably still...

No real information, just a deduction. You have a TO team that has been successful winning 9, then 5, then 7 games in the last three years. That team's coach has just retired. There were several coaches in his coaching tree or who ran teams with a TO emphasis that might very well have been...

I looked at the stats on that game. KSU emptied the bench; everybody played. It looked like they got up early and coasted. But, as was said above, the secret is to stop the dive and for the whole game. If we get into the 4th with the game close and the dive getting 4 yards a play then we will be...

Well … no other option that fit what the "Big Money" wanted. We had several good - heh, heh - options that were simply ignored.

Theys transitions and transitions apparently. I recall what people wrote before Paul's first year as coach. "Massive transition!" "It'll take years to get players who fit his system!" "They might win 3 games!" "It'll never work at the P5 level!" And Paul then took players recruited for a...

Bingo. It all comes down to practice. The college team I was on back in the Jurassic was dead serious at practice. Everything was game speed. Nobody talked unless talked to. If you weren't in a drill, you watched and got ready for your rep. The games were actually a relief of sorts; we just went...

Well, if they couldn't run down Paul, they'd have to own up to their decisions and shortcomings. Also, I guessing that Todd is wondering what he'll do if another FCS spread option team comes into Grant Field and whips us again. Let's hope we don't have to find out.

Same thing happened to me. In fact the story had exactly the opposite tilt I had given in my talk. The reporter took bad notes and just made stuff up. Now I always have a handout transcript ready.

It depends on who's your QB. With Sims who, despite his other skills, can't run the option with any finesse, it makes sense to have one RB (though putting Gibbs out at the flank occasionally would probably work). With Yates, who actually can make an option play work, the solution is simple: put...

Why I liked Jaybo: Look at the lick he takes to seal the option pitch for Dwyer. That's running the option right! But Nesbitt was more dangerous and deserved to start.

The main thing we have going in our favor is the old Navy adage: "When the leaves change, the offense rolls." It was that way when Paul was at Tech too; we'd often have a couple of games earlier on where we looked out of synch. Their early game against Reinhardt might have been like that. Oth...

Preach it, brother. Problem = I doubt Moncken would leave Army if we offered. I think that ship has sailed. Btw, I like the "herd" offense moniker. And I agree that a "herd" coach could win at Tech. I think a Bill Snyder offense would work just fine and we could recruit for it. But no...
