  1. Moving On

    Well, not me from this board. Not totally. I've posted a lot less frequently of late, due to a more hectic work/family schedule. Furthermore, as GT moves on from the Paul Johnson spread option, I'll just have less to say. If we were to hire an airraid or RnS guy, I'd have some decent input. But...
  2. The All CPJ-GT Offense

    Here's what I'm going to do: I'm the philosopher king. You guys hash out the open depth chart slots and I'll decide who wins each debate. Looking for a first and second team. First Team Locks: QB: Justin Thomas BB: Jon Dwyer WR1: Bebe Thomas WR2: Deandre Smelter G: Shaq Mason C: Freddie...
  3. Self-Preservation v Winning

    Just thinking as I was watching that ugly game: if CPJ were thinking primarily about saving his own hide, he’d have an interesting quarterback dilemma. The coaches watch the players every day. They know, in most cases, who gives us a better chance to win at each position. We can doubt that but...
  4. Jeune

    Finished with 520 yards, 4 touchdowns, and a 21.7 average. These numbers are pretty far behind the high water mark of the CPJ era (Bebe 2009, 1154, 8, 25.1) but compares favorably to Bebe's first year in the system (627, 3, 16.1). He's not a complete human anomaly like Bebe, nor is he a...
  5. 4th and Stewart

    I was too hyped to pay attention to what was going on during the game. http://espn.go.com/college-football/video?gameId=400756962 I can't figure out how to pinpoint link this one. Looking at it again, it appears that on 4th and 5 and any chance of victory riding on us getting 5.1 yards, Coach...
  6. GT v UGA: Offensive Playcalling

    Here's the first half break down: Play action pass: 11 Triple option: 9 Zone dive/blast: 8 Drop back pass: 5 Counter option: 2 BB Trap: 2 Rocket toss: 1 WR reverse: 1 Speed option: 1 Punt: 1 FG attempt: 1 UGA came out with a 5-2 front and fired their cornerbacks often. There were a ton of...
  7. Laskey > Chubb

    Marinate on that. More yards, higher YPC today. Ran like a scalded dog. THWG
  8. A-Backs This Spring

    This is way too early to think about, not to mention it's Hate Week 1, but this occurred to me today. With Snoddy almost certainly out this spring, we'll have two scholarship guys at AB: Clinton Lynch and Dennis Andrews. We'll also have two non-scholarship guys who have seen action: Isiah...
  9. Offfense: 2013 v. 2014

    Running a little analysis. This is all based on adding up individual numbers from ESPN. I only did a little bit of rounding and sometimes %s don't add exactly up. 2013 Total Yards (13 games): 5,098 2014 Total Yards (11 games): 5,176 How are we dividing these yards? 2013 Rushing - 3,916...
  10. Justin Thomas

    I was in Tiger Stadium last night and didn't see the game. I followed on the espn game tracker and, like most here, felt the most paradoxical depression when I saw that Smelter scored a 75 yarder. I did watch the highlights when I got home and I've got to say: JT is the star we thought we were...
  11. Serious Question re: Our "Fullback"

    Can our sports information department not send something to the ESPN talking heads before the game stating something to the effect of: Our B-Back is not a "fullback." His primary job is not to be an additional blocker placed in the backfield to provide flexibility for run blocking schemes...
  12. Halfway Through The Regular Season: What Do We Know?

    6 games down, 1 loss. In three sentences: We're talented on offense but we've got work to (1) overcome little inconsistencies that shorten drives, and (2) keep the passing threat credible and get the ball in the hands of Smelter, who might be our best offensive player, and Waller, who can...
  13. Nesbitt has finally been avenged

    And led by the next great GT quarterback
  14. VT Defense v. GT 2013

    (LONG POST) A lot has been made about Foster's gamplan in this matchup. Here's what I see: It's a 4-3 front with 7 guys in the box. The defensive tackles aren't married to one set-up. but more often than not you're seeing an inside shade tackle (between the guard and center) on the short...
  15. B-Back 2014, Revisited

    Laskey was going to be the starter anyway, but most seemed to expect that Custis would get a decent amount of carries. I'm probably alone in liking Snoddy at BB. Does he move back and take the #2 spot? Or is it going to be Laskey, Connors, and Wilson? Is Leggett talented enough to avoid a...
  16. Two Newish Pass Concepts in Spring Game

    Slant/Flat - successful completion to Smelter Goalline Fade - incomplete to Waller, IIRC. Slant/Flat is one of the more natural combinations for our formation but we have never run it much (if at all). The slant route is harder to connect on than the flat, but Byerly did a good job. The goal...
  17. A-Back Rushing Distribution

    I've done a little bit of number crunching on A-Back rush attempts in the CPJ era. The results aren't shocking or anything, but it was interesting to look at. In 2013, Godhigh accounted for 44% of the rush attempts from the position. This was the highest percentage of A-Back carries since...
  18. Offensive Scheme Q&A Thread

    Inspired by Eric's thread, I'll add this variant. I'm not an "expert", but I am at least somewhat knowledgeable about what we do on offense. If you have any X's and O's questions, fire away. If I can't answer them, I'm sure one of masterminds here can chime in.
  19. How do we feel about our wide receivers?

    Returning: Smelter, Waller, Autry, Dennis, Summers New: Messick, Jeune Smelter showed flashes of real talent. Has great hand-eye coordination, is eager to block, is physical. He lacks elite speed and we struggled to get him the ball sometimes. Waller is a great physical specimen. Should be...
