2017 Spring Practice

[Benson Brand]

I like the qbs, we have one that can throw the skin real well and the other is a running machine(with #11 injured). I see 7 or 8 real wins and another 1 or 2 if we can keep punching in a good fight. From what I have seen the issue is consistency. Our ol has to get nastier on the d. Our d is a beast machine. When they clickin, they are hitting. Broken plays kill us doe. We cover good but when the play breaks down we don't cover the gaps well. The QB spot will have to probaly be by committee no matter who starts. Between them 3 we get Thomas back. But not alone. We will have a bowl game selection for sure in my opinion.

According to that article Jordan is out "through the summer" now. I had not heard that before

The article says out thru the end of "Spring Practice".

Mills has been kept out of scrimmages as much as possible. Benson does not deserve to beat out Mills, because he is not better than Mills, and neither was MM. Johnson is a great football coach and he knows talent. He does not play favorites.

Mills if he stays healthy will have a career in the NFL. His vision is amazing in a little box. He will be a great one back his patience and vision reminds me of LaVeon bell

 

[InsideLB]

Good teams have more than one good back. Last year Mills and Marshall were a good combo. Laskey and Days were a good combo in '14.

I dont mind going 3 deep at BB. We'll need all of them. Competition is a good thing!

 

[gtpkt]

Yeah. If Benson is as good as advertised, that's awesome, because we've already seen Mills do work last year. I really hope we have a guy that can come in there and be a different type of threat. Just like InsideLB said, some of our best teams had that one-two punch.

Does anyone know if Jordan will be able to participate in summer 7on7 drills?

I can see the comparison to Bell as far as vision, but not patience . Bell is a different animal when it comes to patience, no other back like him in that aspect imo. I think the incoming freshman, Mason is a good comparison to Bell.

Anything you can add about the DL or DBs? Do they look "faster" and hitting harder than last year?

Do the LB's know where to go?

 

[ramblinvak]

If Kirvonte ends up being better than Mills or even close to that level, that would be sweet news to me as a fan.. We already know what we have in Mills and if Kirvonte is near that same level, dear God beware! You can expect us to pound the ball 40+ times a game, gain yardage and eat clock like its cake

The d is playing with a lot of passion. They are flying around. We have depth. I really like what I see. We are deeper along the LOS than we have been in a long time.

 

[GTNavyNuke]

Do the LB's know where to go?

I could have added "Is the D tackling better, after first contact, than last year?"

These are things that we'll find out for sure when we play other teams. But any informed opinions would be appreciated!

Looking forward to watching our talented backs this year. 30 jumps out as a player that is going to help us win games. We have some very talanted running backs. As a dad of a OL. No one is happier than I am to have them back there.

No, staying at the GT Hotel. I have not heard if the rv lot is going to be open or not. So Driving downtown in a rv Friday afternoon... We decided to leave Friday morning and stay in the hotel.

Thanks for the info, how are the LB's looking? Are we slim with depth there?

I hope KB is the best back to ever play here and we have the best team that Tech has ever had but the thing I can guarantee is the best players play.
