Sep 29, 2014 at 11:38 AM - Eric: 120 people online...seems like we are growing steadily
Sep 29, 2014 at 11:40 AM - Longestday: Why do you think we got the ACC network and a 12:30 game next week
Sep 29, 2014 at 11:40 AM - Longestday: I Looks good Eric... getting bigger.
Sep 29, 2014 at 11:41 AM - Eric: Because Dook lost...Louisville and Clemson is more appealing to the average fan than GT and Dook.
Sep 29, 2014 at 11:42 AM - Eric: The other 3:30 slot is Bc and Nc State.
Sep 29, 2014 at 11:42 AM - Eric: I am surprised we didnt get the 6 day option.
Sep 29, 2014 at 11:42 AM - GTrob21: Eric, what teams on the schedule concern you?
Sep 29, 2014 at 11:44 AM - Eric: All haha...but the most is Uga, Clemson, Miami and unc in that order.
Sep 29, 2014 at 11:45 AM - Longestday: Wonder how Chris and Nealy are doing with their dings
Sep 29, 2014 at 11:45 AM - jeffgt14: Miami was the first team I had us losing to in our prediction thread. I hope I'm wrong.
Sep 29, 2014 at 11:46 AM - jchens_GT: Eric, do you think our defense matches up poorly with UNC's O?
Sep 29, 2014 at 11:46 AM - GTrob21: I don't think we will lose to UNC... they are probably the worst defensive team I have seen
Sep 29, 2014 at 11:47 AM - GTrob21: Eric, any juicy tidbits you have to pass along?
Sep 29, 2014 at 11:48 AM - Eric: Chris and Nealy both practiced last week...Nealy looks fine.
Sep 29, 2014 at 11:48 AM - Eric: UNC has a decent O and with our D ya never know. If we come out and have one of those games where we turn the ball over I could see us being in trouble.
Sep 29, 2014 at 11:49 AM - Eric: what juicy info are you talking about? I have nothing that I can think off of the top of my head.
Sep 29, 2014 at 11:49 AM - Longestday:
Sep 29, 2014 at 11:49 AM - Longestday: that is a great video
Sep 29, 2014 at 11:49 AM - Eric: ...have heard that JHD and Whitehead have been a good duo.
Sep 29, 2014 at 11:49 AM - jchens_GT: Makes sense to me. Seems like the UNC game could end up being a shootout if we don't turn it over.
Sep 29, 2014 at 11:50 AM - jchens_GT: Would love to see JHD hang in there and play in 2015. Seems to on track so far.
Sep 29, 2014 at 11:50 AM - Eric: Indeed it could. another loss and they could be a team that lays down.
Sep 29, 2014 at 11:51 AM - Eric: JHD is *expected* to be here next year.
Sep 29, 2014 at 11:52 AM - Eric: Butker was out all last week, we will see where he is at today. Would be shocked if he isnt back.
Sep 29, 2014 at 11:53 AM - scotts: i see Alexander and Salter will both be at the game on SAt. would we take both of them?
Sep 29, 2014 at 11:53 AM - Longestday: Looks like the game temperature will be a little chilly...
Sep 29, 2014 at 11:53 AM - jchens_GT: So apart from Duke Johnson and Miami's running game, where do you see Miami's matchup advantages this weekend?
Sep 29, 2014 at 11:54 AM - Eric: Salter doesnt have a offer...Alexander does but I still am not 100% sure he is a take myself. I would lean toward yes...IMO we need another OLB.
Sep 29, 2014 at 11:55 AM - ATL1: are they still looking at that DE from Cedar Grove Gus Cumberland
Sep 29, 2014 at 11:55 AM - Eric: On offense I think they matchup well with us pretty much everywhere...Herb Waters and Dorsett have burned us for years...Coley is a young playmker. OL is big and physical which is a problem for us. They could be missing a couple of guys so that cant hurt. We are going to have to stack the box and the secondary will have to play better...no ifs and or buts about it.
Sep 29, 2014 at 11:56 AM - ATL1: the sleeper Bback is he from GA or Bama
Sep 29, 2014 at 11:57 AM - Eric: Not really, hes probably heading to Oregon. Our main target is Anree Saint-Amour he was the one hand picked by our staff, Marquis Price is another we really like...he is a Duke commit.
Sep 29, 2014 at 11:57 AM - Eric: He isn't from GA.
Sep 29, 2014 at 11:58 AM - Eric: He is also another prospect that will be an early enrolle.
Sep 29, 2014 at 12:01 PM - danny daniel: Eric: the questions and answers get out of sequence on chat. Suggest less use of pronouns so we can more easily follow. Thanks to all for that.
Sep 29, 2014 at 12:01 PM - Eric: I talked to a coach last Thursday I think and he said they have 50 confirmed visitors as of then. So will be packed this weekend,
Sep 29, 2014 at 12:03 PM - Eric: I will start using the @ so you will know who i am referring to.
Sep 29, 2014 at 12:03 PM - Longestday: You think we unleash a new play this week?
Sep 29, 2014 at 12:04 PM - Eric: @Longestday - yeah I wouldnt be surprised. So my answer is, yes :)
Sep 29, 2014 at 12:08 PM - buzz_wiser©: Is it raining in atl? its pouring in NE ga. will the team practice inside if so?
Sep 29, 2014 at 12:10 PM - Eric: @Buzz_wiser I am not in ATL right now, but if it is then we will go indoors if it is heavy. If its light they will likely practice some in shells outiside before they head inside.
Sep 29, 2014 at 12:12 PM - buzz_wiser©: according to the tweets I'm reading from the players it looks like they are getting amped up!!
Sep 29, 2014 at 12:16 PM - TomOReilly: Hi Eric - With all the visitors this weekend, is there feeling we may get a commit or flip to GT?
Sep 29, 2014 at 12:17 PM - Eric: @buzz - as they should be.
Sep 29, 2014 at 12:18 PM - Eric: @Tom - ya never know, but I don't expect any from the current group of visitors that I have posted right now. Usually our recruiting doesnt get busy again until the official visits after the season start. This is the best chance for us to get commit(s) this weekend though.
Sep 29, 2014 at 12:29 PM - presjacket: I keep getting this feeling that we are going to be ACC champs in 2015. Should I seek medical attention for this feeling?
Sep 29, 2014 at 12:30 PM - Eric: @presjacket - haha, I think our shot is better this year. Being honest 2015 schedule worries me a bit. but no you should be fine :)
Sep 29, 2014 at 12:33 PM - GTJoeBrew: Do you see us giving Miami a pretty bug cushion in the secondary? Definitely worked to cut down on the big plays, but kept VT's offense moving the ball.
Sep 29, 2014 at 12:33 PM - presjacket: Well, I didn't say that I didn't think we might win it all this year too.
Sep 29, 2014 at 12:34 PM - Eric: @GTJoeBrew - if we dont feel like we can cover them 1 on 1 then we kinda have to give some bit of a cushion...so sadly I do expect some sort of cushion.
Sep 29, 2014 at 12:57 PM - GTJoeBrew: Thanks, I'm fine with that if we can get some pressure on the QB to cause mistakes.
Sep 29, 2014 at 12:57 PM - southernhive: I think it will depends on our offense. I think we start out with a big cushion to get a feel for the way the game will go. If our offense is clicking and we are able to score on nearly every possesion, then we start to pressure with blitzes.
Sep 29, 2014 at 1:05 PM - GTJoeBrew: Good point. Hopefully JeT comes out hot with accurate passes. We've seen flashes of brilliance with his arm, but he has been overthrowing a lot of receivers as of late.
Sep 29, 2014 at 1:09 PM - buzz_wiser©: My final question for the day!
Sep 29, 2014 at 1:10 PM - buzz_wiser©: What's the good word???
Sep 29, 2014 at 1:24 PM - southernhive: THWG
Sep 29, 2014 at 1:34 PM - ATL1: I see Simmons is in as a dedicated pass rush specialist
Sep 29, 2014 at 1:58 PM - UgaBlows: will the team be in white out gear?
Sep 29, 2014 at 1:59 PM - UgaBlows: and does miami have any key playets injured at this point?
Sep 29, 2014 at 2:08 PM - Eric: @UgaBlows - yes thwy will....and they could have two lineman out thats it.
Sep 29, 2014 at 3:25 PM - ramblinvak: What did you think about the staff playing the younger guys earlier in the series on Defense and once the ball crossed onto our side we putting the older guys in during VT game? Seems like a good idea to my little football knowledge.
