Roof was a downhill tackling machine. With a mean streak. Yeah, he was really good in the day where everyone had an absolute stud at tailback and tried to run over you. Daryl Smith was probably a better all around player, though.I again am too young but ted roof was that good? I’ve always heard about the leaky roof defense.
You couldn’t play with more guts and intensity. He played sideline to sideline and was tireless at LB.I again am too young but ted roof was that good? I’ve always heard about the leaky roof defense.

Ah, the tyranny of Last Man Up. I am of the age I can remember Leon Hardeman, as tough a RB as ever graced the Flats. And tight ends Billy Martin and Ted Davis, who not only caught the ball but excelled in knocking one on his keister if he got in the way. As well as a guard, Dave Watson. But I won't argue with Maxie Baughan, the best of any generation. (And became one of the reasons Dodd began to falter as a coach: since he never graduated he brought back players ineligible to play but he gave them scholarship help ... and kept getting leaner in real players.)Another thread gave me this idea. If you could assemble a starting lineup of Georgia Tech players from any time in the history, what would that lineup be? I’ll give it a shot, but since I haven’t been around long, my knowledge base of players is fairly small.

Reggie Ball would have done better in CPJs offense.Though Nesbitt hated to admit it, but Johnson's offense is the only offense he could QB. Otherwise he was a DB and probably s hoof one.
I dunno. I remember a couple of mind-bending decisions, and asking him to make three of them on one play would have been a stretch. But maybe. He was athletic enough.Reggie Ball would have done better in CPJs offense.
He could’ve been a discount Cam Newton in a spread. Something like Logan Thomas.Though Nesbitt hated to admit it, but Johnson's offense is the only offense he could QB. Otherwise he was a DB and probably s hoof one.
Randy?Kelly rhino at punt returner all day
Think I only remember one fair catch in his career and the whole stadium was shocked. Scared the hell out of me how he would catch those punts in traffic.Kelly rhino at punt returner all day
