When asked about Gary Brown coach said (paraphrasing) "I dunno, he's been in a red shirt." When asked why, CPJ said "I dunno, he chose it himself..."
I did not put that together... thanks for highlighting...a good standard of toughness to strive for!
Please point out in my post where I wrote our D will suck. I said they need to be improved for this team to continue the success from last year. Our O is going to struggle at times and when they do, the D needs to pick up the slack. Everyone has come to that agreement days ago. If we don't create some type of pass rush GT could be in for a long season(that's my opinion). If you honestly believe this team is going to steam roll everybody than you should listen to CPJ interview from Tuesday practice. Pretty much told the reporters something along the lines of " Y'all have already made them National Chmaps" I think some of the posters on this board are still in the high clouds from last season but have really evaluated the team to the core. Do I think we can be good and create that pass rush ? Absolutely I do but until I see it , I'm not going to give that position group any praise.Is this the same babyjacket that's convinced our D will suck this year?....or did someone hack the account?
Random CPJ quotes from a few days back: We have a long way to go but that is what practice is for. I am not worried. We'll get there. Practice is a long time. They will have plenty of time to get it.
As maligned as our D was last year they still came up with timely plays to allow the O to pull it out, Pick 6 and White interception at 2 minute mark vs VT. The lateral vs GSU, at UGA, Clemson Pick 6 (two pick 6?). It is a team sport and we need both. If D had been better over all may not have needed some of those plays. But Our O was not that great first part of last year so doubt it will be this year to start. JT5 will make up some of difference but will take a while for the skill position people to get in sync. So the D needs to keep us in the game and get some more stops. 3 weeks Go Jackets!! THWG
Pretty much said the same thing I have been saying for a week. We need that D line to step up to the plate this year.
What happened to Domonique Noble? He played a lot in 2013 in the secondary, not much last year, and not mentioned at all in this article and here it is his senior season. RR bio says he is at LB, but I assume that is really the nickel position as Demond Smith was listed as LB in depth charts last season.
I do think we have the guys to another great season but damn all this praise of the D line is getting out of control. I'm just ready for the season to start and for that position group to show the world they are much improved. I'm not going to give them praise until they prove themselves. I think they will have some good games but will struggle in other games(what team doesn't)?
