I guess I am just living dangerously. . Point taken.Watch out! You're getting very close to the creative opponent reference that got me a post deletion and warning.

This was one of my beefs with Coach P last year. Three times in 2019 we ran that play with AB blocking and he and the play got smashed, in fact AB was temporarily injured twice (and Cottrell and Jarrett, who can block, were on the bench). AB is a great receiver but he is not only small but has yet to master blocking and that play is a waste if you have him in the key role of blocking. I agree that on that play you should use your better personnel such as Camp blocking and EZZ or D Smith or Gibbs or Sanders as the receiver. That is a once or twice play in a game so you should max your personnel for it..It was Brown trying to block the screen for Camp...
I like finalbuzzer's point about this year's depth. I can't remember any GT football game where so many people contributed I had never heard of.
Page 7 in the ramblinwreck.com final stats and pasted belowI believe in the past that a participation report containing a list of players that played in the game was provided. Does anyone know if that exists?
Thx for providing! This is worth posting after every game.
I see that being ATL does not guarantee playing time but that you are ready to contribute. I was looking for additional OLineman to get some playing time, at least on special teams however did not see their names on the list above. In particular, I'm talking about Clark, Maye and Smith. Hopefully these and some of the other players will earn playing time as the season progresses. I think it will be helpful for building depth both this year and in the future.
I was in the chat room; you were not, and nothing even remotely similar to what you just claimed is true.I don’t understand this thread! After reading some of the comments on the chat room during the game last night, I thought all of our coaches are horrible and have shown no improvement since last year.
You must have missed it then. After the first FSU touchdown drive, plenty of people where saying the defense was terrible and saying stuff like “Yeah, CGC is definitely a defensive coach” “Really living up to the minister of mayhem”. Obviously knee jerk reactions, but stuff about the staff was said.I was in the chat room; you were not, and nothing even remotely similar to what you just claimed is true.
There was also plenty of dogging of the coaches after the 2 INTs and blocked kicks. There were a lot of “same as last year” comments. Others claiming Tech was being “out coached” all the way until we took the lead.You must have missed it then.

The implication of @Towaliga's post was that that was prevalent throughout the chat. Fans of any school are going to ask questions when things are going south and generally blame it on the coaches. True fans back off on such accusations when things change (or never say anything negative to begin with). Call it fickle or facing up to the facts. Early in the game, it was only natural that the coaches would be called out (rightly or wrongly), but when things started clicking in the second quarter, those criticisms ended.You must have missed it then.

I wasn’t following chat as closely as normal for an away game because I had frinds over but I do recall people wanting to pull Sims for example. I remarked he was doing well & why would you do that. It was all about the INTs but if you looked past that what you saw was a disciplined offense running a scheme they were comfortable with. It was frustrating how long it took us to score, but the fundamentals were there. You saw a green Freshman QB performing way above average for his experience level & on the road. It was crazy people were comparing it to last year when you had to question whether or not our offensive coaches in particular were up to the task damn near every series of every game.You must have missed it then.

I think it’s hilarious that you guys are obsessing over one damn play like this. AB is a football player and he needs to make the block when called on to do it.This was one of my beefs with Coach P last year.
