  1. ACC News... Year 3 change...

    It's a surprisingly well written article for one that butchered Walton and Cimaglia's names.
  2. Game 1 #NIUvsGT Predictions

    Their D as a whole is extremely young, much more so than the offense. Most of the Fr have a COVID year behind them, though I don't know who has actually played. I don't think their line is all that small, but they don't have the depth at desired size particularly at end. The LB are lighter in...
  3. 2021 G1 NIU ATL Depth Chart

    You're off base man. He's a true Fr QB. I'm sure he'll get his 4 games in during the season for RS purposes, but by no means was he a Justin Fields type coming in expecting to get anything on the field handed to him or having a unique skill to be used for gadget plays. I am real excited about...

    What's your beef?
  5. Game 1 #NIUvsGT Predictions

    Part of me sees us being stubborn trying to feed Gibbs and dump the ball off short when the numbers don't add up in our favor. But more likely I think we'll start with some RPO stuff and Jeff will be light-years ahead of last year knowing how to read that. Probably means he'll have to sling it...
  6. Game 1 #NIUvsGT Media

    I wish it were easier to distinguish freshman who played last year from freshman coming out of high school. Overall, their roster is similar to ours in that it is dominated by underclassmen, but they have an even smaller veteran presence than we do. I expect our depth to play a role in this game.
  7. 2021 G1 NIU ATL Depth Chart

    I think Malachi has an under-appreciated slipperiness. He is versatile which needs to be leveraged to create separation. One of the interviews with coach Dixon noted they were working with him to reduce wasted movement off the line and in his breaks. If that's successful, he can be a huge...
  8. Game 1 #NIUvsGT Media

    A few of things that stood out to me: 1. Patenaude said at least in practice right now we seem to be just as good in the running game as the passing game. Huge if it comes to fruition, and an effective RPO game will keep us very versatile depending on what the defense gives us. 2. The whole...

    Yes.... He has returned some KOs. Not bad but hasn't broken anything either.
  10. 2021 G1 NIU ATL Depth Chart

    It's always said effort based. Buzzwords.
  11. 2021 G1 NIU ATL Depth Chart

    Random speculation: Coach is trying to motivate a couple of guys who will be on the list but need to sharpen up a bit. Generally looks good and not surprising except at WR to me. However, there are plenty who can suit up and play on game day anyway. I am not surprised though that Carter...
  12. And since we have been occupied by line play recently …

    Seems more that good run stoppers encourage the other team to pass more, and if they did the same against bad run stoppers they'd be better off. Passing OP in the NFL. Probably a lot more variation in the college game.
  13. O Line Starters

    What Kenny does best is slobber knock people. Good fit for a guard.
  14. Will Georgia Tech Be The Most Improved Team in ACC This Year?

    Only thing that should regress is punting.

    Thanks. I don't tweet and don't care enough to sign up for this purpose. 😁
  16. Will Georgia Tech Be The Most Improved Team in ACC This Year?

    It sounds like the players and coaches are on board with this, no longer disregarding results for the sake of improvement. Everyone cares about winning, and there is an urgency to do that now. However, we're not really in a financial position to dump Geoff after 3 years anyway. Will we make some...
  17. Will Georgia Tech Be The Most Improved Team in ACC This Year?

    What @Coloradojacket means (despite what he says) is that all he cares about is winning or losing. As you point out, that is dumb. It is one of the worst indicators of the process of improvement, and you point out several discrete ways to measure it that collectively are much more useful. I...

    Can't find a way to comment or contact him directly. Would be nice to know his reason for writing that or podcasting it. I agree in the absence of context it's more likely an old reference to CPJ, but maybe there's something behind it.
  19. O Line Starters

    FWIW the only things I've seen on the AJC are directly from the press conferences, and often not as clear as watching the conference itself. Anyway, current list for that line is: 6'7" 314 RS Sr 6'3" 325 RS Sr 6'3" 300 RS Jr 6'6" 307 RS Sr 6'6" 333 Fr (+10 starts) That's a unit for sure and an...
  20. Expectations for the 2021 season

    That's where I'm puzzled. The only way I can justify putting Duke and Cuse ahead of us is that they were somewhat so in 2019 & 2018 FEI. We were clearly ahead of each in 2020 and a few spots behind or mostly significantly better than each going back through 2014 (last I checked). Yes, even in...
