Fall Camp News

Some good information regarding the Dline from Ken.

Georgia Tech defensive line has tools, may need time

The performance up front will go a long way in determining what kind of season the Yellow Jackets have in 2022.

Why do you say that? We have 4 OL line transfers. 2 have 3 more years of eligibility and 2 have all 4 years.

I'm on board with the transfers we have on both OL and DL, but ideally you wouldn't need to depend on transfers to build a line. Both units, OL particularly, function better when they have had time to gel as a unit, which is a product of years with class separation allowing younger guys to mature into their roles and take over for guys graduating out of the program. When you have to rely on transfers to fill holes it means we haven't hit that point yet in our OL/DL recruiting and development. I don't think the OP was demeaning the quality of the transfers we have incoming, just noting it's not the ideal way to fix the OL/DL issues.

So Gibbs moved to a higher ranked program. Any other facts to support your view? What about the 4 stars we got from Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Notre Dame.....

This board is such a negative place.

Ivey left Ole Miss, Dominick left for Arkansas

If you are going into year 4 and you have to rebuild nearly the entire OL with transfers with little playing experience it isn't a very good sign.

Are we back to the old adage about Fall Camp where “if your QB looks great in practice, you have a terrible defense, and if the defense looks good then you have no talent on offense”?

(When we DO get better, it has to start SOMEWHERE)

Some of us have never left that truism. In baseball, football or basketball. Maybe not in golf.

Yes, our golf team always has a great defense!

Is Blackburn even practicing? Ryan King looks like he will see the field a bit

"... an oft-asked question of the preseason – which freshmen will play and not be redshirted? – Moore is a leading candidate to contribute on the field this season."

Observations from Georgia Tech’s eighth football practice of 2022 preseason

After a Saturday-morning scrimmage, Georgia Tech returned to the practice field Monday morning in helmets, shoulder pads and shorts in a slight reprieve from full-contact work.

DJ Moore looked good in Spring "scrimmage".He is a man now.

They’re keeping his name out of the press. Gotta surprise Clemson with someone

From what I'm seeing, pretty optimistic about this seasons improvements. BUT I've fallen for this trap for 3 seasons now, hopefully Collins has things fixed.

How many Super Seniors do we have verses our opponents. ?
Gt Ol 2 deep average age 1.8 years out of hs.

With Covid year Sims has how many years to be super senior = 3 iirc.

When we have mature starters and back ups then we can demand a lot more.


W young team and tough schedule , I just demand ghey get better every game.

I need some good things to remember from Oct and November

Well … in 2008 Tech was second in the Coastal with a 5-3 record. In 2018 Tech was - wait for it - second in the Coastal with a 5-3 record. We lost a bowl game lopsidedly both seasons. And we curb-stomped a major opponent (da U in 08, VT in 18) both years. The only difference came, really, in the UGAG game. But that's all some people look at. Btw, Paul is a legend.
