Sep 3, 2014 8:54 PM - Eric: Great day today, good news all around :)
Sep 3, 2014 9:01 PM - tkw26: Ok. Give me some good news!!!!!!!
Sep 3, 2014 9:01 PM - orientalnc: What is the status of Johnson and Gotsis? Any word yet?
Sep 3, 2014 9:02 PM - southernhive: Awsome news on Jaylend
Sep 3, 2014 9:04 PM - Declinometer: Why didn't Menocal ever see the field. Seemed to hv the tools
Sep 3, 2014 9:05 PM - AE 87: Eric: Chat closed, night fellas. :)
Sep 3, 2014 9:06 PM - Eric: Posted updates in the forum today on Gotsis and Johnson...Gotsis was back today and will play this weekend. Johnson gametime decision...doubt he plays.
Sep 3, 2014 9:07 PM - Eric: The good news is on Jaylend...ton of good news on him today.
Sep 3, 2014 9:07 PM - Longestday: Here
Sep 3, 2014 9:07 PM - Eric: Menocal got lost in the transition to the 4-3 from the 3-4. Never found a spot he fit at.
Sep 3, 2014 9:08 PM - Longestday: Eric... can you give your initial opinion on the team given the limited data of one game
Sep 3, 2014 9:08 PM - Declinometer: Jaylend ??
Sep 3, 2014 9:10 PM - Eric: I don't take too much away from one game...Feel like the things we thought in pre-season still hold the same...offense will be good, defense worries me....I think we learn a lot more about our defense this weekend. I want to see what happens when we face a more traditional offense....On offense I was pleased with the passing game, and really pleased with most of the offense.
Sep 3, 2014 9:10 PM - Declinometer: Oh sorry, recruit ! Didn't see the news glad he's doing well
Sep 3, 2014 9:10 PM - Aanderson1839: Jaylend has made an amazing recovery. Nothing scarier than a Brain Injury.
Sep 3, 2014 9:11 PM - Aanderson1839: Very happy for him and his family.
Sep 3, 2014 9:11 PM - Eric: as long as we can stay healthy on offense we can be in every game...just have to limit turnovers. As for the D I didn't take much away from the first game.
Sep 3, 2014 9:11 PM - ctcjb: What about Stargel? Did he record a tackle on Saturday?
Sep 3, 2014 9:12 PM - Eric: Listed as having two tackles I believe.
Sep 3, 2014 9:12 PM - Eric: CPJ has said a few times this week that we have to get Days the ball more...and he is committed to playing more lineman this week.
Sep 3, 2014 9:13 PM - Aanderson1839: Looking forward to seeing Kallon get some reps. Need him for depth at DT.
Sep 3, 2014 9:13 PM - AE 87: CPJ said they ran away from Stargel
Sep 3, 2014 9:13 PM - ctcjb: i felt like 41, 42 and 95 had more of a "presence"...if that makes sense. I know Rod missed a big tackle though...
Sep 3, 2014 9:14 PM - ctcjb: Stargel struggled getting off blocks it appeared. Hope for better this weekend
Sep 3, 2014 9:14 PM - ctcjb: Almost Nealy-esque
Sep 3, 2014 9:14 PM - Eric: We are young with Merriweather, Freeman and Chungong...Stargel doesnt have too many reps either.
Sep 3, 2014 9:15 PM - Eric: Harrell and Marcordes back in the LB group is going to give us a big boost.
Sep 3, 2014 9:15 PM - ctcjb: its amazing what a difference Whitehead could have made
Sep 3, 2014 9:16 PM - ctcjb: What did you think of Davis this weekend?
Sep 3, 2014 9:16 PM - Eric: Whitehead would have been strictly a pass rusher this year...209 lbs isnt playing weight in the ACC. Would have been great to have him though.
Sep 3, 2014 9:16 PM - Eric: How did I think he played last weekend?
Sep 3, 2014 9:16 PM - ctcjb: yes
Sep 3, 2014 9:17 PM - Eric: Havent went back and watched just him but he looked like he played well...I saw him on quite a few plays. He is a key guy for us IMO.
Sep 3, 2014 9:18 PM - ctcjb: last question....after 92, who would be next in the DT rotation (if heaven forbid, we are forced to go that deep)
Sep 3, 2014 9:19 PM - Eric: Adrian Gardner I guess.
Sep 3, 2014 9:21 PM - ctcjb: I hope we don't have to go there. Seems crazy that we are a D-I school with only four DLinemen on the roster. Tough offseason!
Sep 3, 2014 9:21 PM - ctcjb: Thanks for all you do on the site.
Sep 3, 2014 9:30 PM - Eric: Yes sir!
Sep 3, 2014 9:43 PM - southernhive: thanks Eric. Good night!
Sep 3, 2014 9:53 PM - TampaGT: How far is Days behind ZL in terms of overtaken him as the starting BB
Sep 3, 2014 9:54 PM - Longestday: Davis was all over and seemed to always be near or in on the tackle.
Sep 3, 2014 9:56 PM - Eric: I don't think Days is that close to overtaking him at this time. He is getting some of his snaps.
Sep 3, 2014 9:57 PM - Longestday: Did Days seems a step slower then Zack, but he can block better in space.
Sep 3, 2014 9:58 PM - Eric: Days also ran low, plowed over a guy on his TD run.
Sep 3, 2014 9:59 PM - Longestday: That second effort was awesome... I have it in a video I should have out tomorrow
Sep 3, 2014 10:01 PM - TampaGT: Longsestday Its not even close in terms of blocking. I think if Days start lower his shoulder like he did on the TD and stop trying breaking to the outside he might be a better option at BB.
Sep 3, 2014 10:02 PM - TampaGT: For the short amount of time Days at BB I thought he did very well
Sep 3, 2014 10:03 PM - TampaGT: Are yall going to continue to has that type of access for the rest of the home games
Sep 3, 2014 10:08 PM - Eric: As long as we are granted it, then we will!
Sep 3, 2014 10:09 PM - Eric: CuseJacket will actually be covering the game @Tulane this week :)
Sep 3, 2014 10:09 PM - Longestday: great!!!
Sep 3, 2014 10:10 PM - Eric: Indeed! Cuse has been doing excellent work as well as John.
Sep 3, 2014 10:12 PM - TampaGT: GREAT really enjoy the chat room during the game. I know we say it a lot, but I don't know if it can ever be said enough THANK YOU!!!!!!! to all this past off season was great and looking forward to yall covering the season (y)
Sep 3, 2014 10:13 PM - Eric: Thanks! We hope to continue the great coverage :)...The chat will be open for the game of course!
Sep 3, 2014 10:17 PM - danny daniel: With Gotsis a little dinged up, Macordes and Harrel available along with Davis and Nealy, and Tulane expected to pass more than run, do you see Roof using a 3 man line a lot in this game?
Sep 3, 2014 10:18 PM - Eric: No I do not expect to see a 3 man front.
Sep 3, 2014 10:19 PM - jeffgt14: If IJ is out, will Demond move to Safety, and Noble move to 5th DB?
Sep 3, 2014 10:21 PM - Eric: I would think so...Interested to see what they do there. Of course Demond will get the start.
Sep 3, 2014 10:24 PM - Longestday: One of the twins as backup?
Sep 3, 2014 10:25 PM - Eric: Would think Lance.
Sep 3, 2014 10:25 PM - danny daniel: I would prefer Davis in run situation
Sep 3, 2014 10:25 PM - Eric: We would be in 4-3 in run situations..
Sep 3, 2014 10:25 PM - jeffgt14: Yea I really like Demond where he's at but I think there's several players that can play the 5th DB whereas not so much at Safety
Sep 3, 2014 10:26 PM - Eric: We have four seniors in our whole two deep on defense...wow.
Sep 3, 2014 10:28 PM - daBuzz: Just got in here....I don't think you're going to see a lot of Kallon this weekend...if at all
Sep 3, 2014 10:29 PM - Longestday: Is this due to what CMP said yesterday or did more happen today?
Sep 3, 2014 10:30 PM - daBuzz: CMP has been souring on him for about a week now. Kallon is just too inconsistent
Sep 3, 2014 10:30 PM - daBuzz: keeps making same mistakes and not learning from them
Sep 3, 2014 10:30 PM - Longestday: Posters have been saying Pat did not do well... CPJ said Pat had his bets game. Is this to knot knowing the scheme / not knowing what was he asked to do?
Sep 3, 2014 10:31 PM - Longestday: due to not knowing the scheme

Sep 3, 2014 at 10:31 PM - daBuzz: problem is that we, as posters, have no idea what a players' responsibility is on a play. If a coach said he had a good game, then I'd side with the coach
Sep 3, 2014 at 10:32 PM - Eric: CPJ said that Green and Gotsis were "dominate"
Sep 3, 2014 at 10:32 PM - jeffgt14: I thought Pat played great. Took up a ton of space for others to make the play.
Sep 3, 2014 at 10:32 PM - Eric: CMS said that Shaq Mason started off the game playing the best football he has ever played.
Sep 3, 2014 at 10:32 PM - Longestday: Ya, I think the DTs were asked to do what they were doing and take up space.
Sep 3, 2014 at 10:33 PM - daBuzz: i agree with him on Green. I personally thought that Gotsis seemed to be in consistent "i wanna get to the QB" mode and got out of position quite a few times. but i was also told that the coaches liked the way he played....so, lol, what do i know?
Sep 3, 2014 at 10:33 PM - Eric: CTR said getting Harrell and Marcordes back will allow us to go to more 4-3
Sep 3, 2014 at 10:33 PM - daBuzz: Harrell is going to play a lot this weekend...has had a good week of practice so far
Sep 3, 2014 at 10:34 PM - jeffgt14: I'm pulling for Harrell as a rush end on passing downs.
Sep 3, 2014 at 10:34 PM - daBuzz: personally, i was really impressed with Bostic this weekend. I thought he played a very good game
Sep 3, 2014 at 10:35 PM - Longestday: I think the coaches were down on the LB going in the right direction and shedding blocks.
Sep 3, 2014 at 10:35 PM - Eric: He has already got his job back on special teams...right away. CPJ added today that Marcordes and Harrell will play a lot...
Sep 3, 2014 at 10:35 PM - jeffgt14: Also it'll be great knowing that with Tulane, a passing down will actually be a pass.
Sep 3, 2014 at 10:35 PM - daBuzz: i was told the coaches were pretty impressed with the Tulane OL. Said they have some big guys who move well
Sep 3, 2014 at 10:35 PM - AE 87: Marcordes Harrell Nealy as 3 LBs?
Sep 3, 2014 at 10:35 PM - jeffgt14: All the AB's played well. Even Snoddy!
Sep 3, 2014 at 10:37 PM - Longestday: Sounds like Snoddy will be a limited feature back?
Sep 3, 2014 at 10:37 PM - daBuzz: i think so, AE 87. But I think you're going to frequently see @ least 1 of those lined up on the LOS
Sep 3, 2014 at 10:38 PM - AE 87: tks
Sep 3, 2014 at 10:40 PM - daBuzz: i think the plan with Snoddy is for him to be in the regular rotation @ A-back...not just as a feature back. But I dont know specifically because I haven't asked
Sep 3, 2014 at 10:42 PM - danny daniel: I would expect Davis to be one of the LBs if we are in a 4-3
Sep 3, 2014 at 10:47 PM - Longestday: Davis might be a good QB blitzer...
Sep 3, 2014 at 10:49 PM - daBuzz: Davis is a hitter; just doesn't have the foot speed or size of some of the other guys. If all of the guys on the team had his mentality though, we'd go undefeated...dude goes balls out all the time
Sep 3, 2014 at 10:50 PM - Longestday: all the time, every time.... and runs down people from the other side of the field.
Sep 3, 2014 at 10:52 PM - danny daniel: Yes. He knows where the ball is, has a good idea where it is going, and usually winds up on the pile when the whistle blows. You could see his blitzing ability on the last Wofford TD from the 4 yard line. He plastered the QB who got rid of it in the nick of time.
Sep 3, 2014 at 10:59 PM - Longestday: I like the play where he blitzed, but the ball went up the middle. Everyone else missed the tackle, but PJ came from 25 yards behind to make the tackle.
Sep 3, 2014 at 11:00 PM - Longestday: I am not sure if he gets out of position... I don't know enough to be able to tell. I do know he goes 100%.
