  1. Execution

    Here's the thing about playing against 8 in the box. That's an advantage for Tech's offense. 8 in the box means 1 high safety, and some kind of cover 3 concept. What that allows you to do is pressure vertically with 4 players, and make the middle 1/3 defender choose, and he'll always choose...
  2. More of this please!!!!

    Play side guard's job is to keep 52 out of the B gap, and play side tackle's job is to keep 41 from scraping over the top. Job done on both accounts. Is it perfect? No. Is there room for improvement? Absolutely. But two weeks ago the issue was firing off the ball, taking the proper steps, and...
  3. Film Room Slow Motion Video Break Down GT versus Vandy Series 1

    My assumption on early play calls (aside from plays like the B Back wheel which are intended to be chunk plays) is that Johnson is trying to determine the defense's keys. That's why you'll see a rocket toss, true triple, and a counter in the first series, if circumstances allow. If he can figure...
  4. Film Room Video GT vs BC Offense Series 1

    Sorry for the post spam, posting these images from an iPad is a little tedious. After looking at these again, he's scraping to the field, and Devine ends up on that side of the play all 3 times. The field side A back is the motion back all 3 times as well, so maybe that's his key? If the field...
  5. Film Room Video GT vs BC Offense Series 1

    When I watched this, something there was something about that 3-3-1 alignment I couldn't quite figure out. I couldn't tell what the keys were for the 1 (I don't know what to call him, is he the Mike? Stack backer? Jack? Dunno.) were. Here are 3 screenshots I marked up. In each one, the player...
  6. Tech no. 41 of 65 Power 5 school

    Re: Meyer, I'm not so sure he's shied away from referring to his scheme as option based. During his year as a color analyst on ESPN, he'd often say "that's the same triple option play we ran at Florida" and similar things of that nature. Sure, it's out of the gun, and he uses either Smoke...
  7. Tech no. 41 of 65 Power 5 school

    Interesting that Mississippi State ranks higher, when Tech's current bowl streak is comprised of more bowl games than Mississippi State has in their entire program's history. I think Tech is a better job than most people think. Because of the prominence of the in-state rival, a lot of folks...

  9. CPJ Radio Interview

    Neither. The goal is to beat your rivals, win your division, win your conference, and then let the chips fall where they may. In that order.
  10. ESPN: Position that needs improvement: Georgia Tech

    Because negative Tech fan is negative. Last year, after three games, there were otherwise perfectly sensible people pondering whether the bowl streak would continue. I don't know if this happens with other teams, but a very noticeable and loud portion of the Tech fanbase is always 100%...
  11. 2015 returning QBs

    The only one of those four I'd put in Thomas' class is Watson, and he's coming off ACL surgery. Sure Brissett, Kaaya, and Williams are talented. Justin Thomas was just named MVP of the Orange Bowl. He belongs on the list ahead of those guys, and it's not particularly close.
  12. 2015 returning QBs

    A not so interesting look at the top four returning QBs in each of the Power 5 conferences. Notable mainly for an omission in the ACC. Interestingly, this same writer pegged Tech as a team to get a hype boost from bowl season...
  13. CPJ speaks at AFCA Convention

    I love seeing things like the foundation pillars from different coaches. It gives you some insight into which coaches have similar philosophies. Number 10 above is almost word for word one of Urban Meyer's key talking points when he gives coaching association talks or clinics.
  14. Offensive Styles

    There's more than one way to skin a cat. One of the more effective short yardage plays from the gun in recent years has been a variant of the H Back shovel pass Urban Meyer uses. There's some eye candy to get the second level flowing, but the OL blocks it like a run play. The H Back catches...
  15. 5 Teams that Will Benefit from the Bowl Hype in 2015

    Wouldn't put too much stock in this particular writer. He's had Paul Johnson on the hot seat for at least the last three years.
  16. Film Room Orange Bowl Series 3

    Great job with these @Longestday. Thanks for taking the time and breaking these plays down. That last midline for the TD is perfect. Saw someone say this multiple other places, but that's a play that goes on a coaching reel. It's textbook.
  17. Film Review - Orange Bowl

    Yep. The play were the playside guard kicks out the DE and everybody else collapses down is good ol' Belly G. Tech ran that a ton in the second half, as well as some inside zone, which was Synjyn's big TD run.
  18. sleeves, I don't get it.

    The compression sleeve look started in basketball and has spread to football and baseball. Allen Iverson wore one, and Trady McGrady wore one on his leg because he thought it looked cool. Jason Heyward and Jordan Schafer both wear an arm sleeve, as does RGIII. Oh, and Justin Thomas.
