GT D-Line Plays on MNF

[Aanderson1839]

Michael Johnson had a huge hit to cause a fumble and Vance Walker just had a sack.

Proof it is possible to get good linemen to play ball at GT!

Iirc, neither guy was that highly ranked out of high school. Sometimes you get lucky. We gotta get lucky more often.

DT is putting the team on his back in this OT drive.

I think MJ was a 4 star by one service...though at TE. Crazy athleticism and upside, but was extremely raw. Didn't even start until his last year here.

Vance Walker was just a good job scouting by the staff. 2 star from the Carolinas, and VT came sniffing around at the last minute.

Explain what about them? They're good players that we brought in

Say what you will about Chan, but the guy had an eye for talent. Nobody picked up on Walker and MJ wasn't thought of for D by anyone else, apparently. (No wonder at 6'6", 215 in high school.) Not only that, but he took most of the good players and sent them directly over to Tenuta without so much as a shrug. Coach wants the top people for the O, which makes sense. It's hard to get equal talent on both sides of the ball at most schools and Tech is no exception. As Chan's offenses showed, btw.

 

[ATL1]

Chan had talent on O. He didn't recruit a QB.

Explain Attouchu & Derrick Morgan

I'd bet the avg combined star rating of any of our defensive lines in the last 50+ yes was never in the upper quarter of the league.

I watched a little of Oakland vs San Diego Christmas eve. Since I watch practically no pro ball, I waited to see in any former Jackets showed up for either team to decide who to pull for. It didn't take long to hear Attaochu's name called. In the little I watched, he was in on whole bunch of tackles. Apparently pro offensive linemen don't have any better luck blocking him than college linemen did.
