[QUOTE="AE 87, post: 645025, member: 195"] I think it is interesting that some of the same people who spent the last several years complaining about fans accepting mediocrity are now saying we just need to accept current results as the best they can be. In 2008, GT was predicted to only win 3 games. We ended the season beating georgie for our ninth win. Obviously, we had great talent from the 2007 class. However, we also had a coach who grabbed players by their face masks. Was CPJ's negativity part of our success? Can negativity motivate improvement at times? Since the "hate" of bringing the facts of defensive statistics into the discussion was mentioned earlier, last year our D allowed 2.97 ppd to pwr5 opponents. In our 3 Pwr5 games this year, we've allowed 3.28 ppd. Still, I recognize that for some, it's not about the win (sic) and losses. It's not about being the worst team in the ACC in offense, defense, and the scoreboard. It's about the joy of not having to see our offense line up in the flexbone. So, with that in mind, the rest of us should stop being negative. With that being said, I will say that I like some of what I've seen from our defense and our offense. I haven't broken down every play from every drive, so I don't know how much is on execution and how much is on play-calls. For example, on a 4th and 3 play, either the right tackle or tight end or somebody seemed to pull and go inside in order to block, leaving two edge rushers unblocked on their way to our QB. Was that part of the play-call or player-error, I don't know. It's really hard to know what to expect since our coordinators have no experience at the Pwr5 level. I am still hopeful that we can turn it around, but I don't have much to base it on. [/QUOTE]
