Scrimmage 8/16

[GTBandit22]

I feel really good about our a back depth. We have 6 that can play, and that's before Andrews comes back.

I was not at the scrimmage, just getting updates from various sources, but I don't think the ball was out on JT's series. MJ may have had one/two come out that he got back.

I also understand there may be some bad news regarding injuries.. More to come when I can confirm.

This is what I was holding my breath on. We cannot afford this. Especially this year.

I had heard that Matthew Jordan, and perhaps Gostis got banged up. According to CPJ no one was injured badly.

Laskey

Here is the summary. Looks like the ball was only out once.

Isn't 110 a very high play count for us? Sounds like hurry up and good conditioning.

Amazing how many plays you can run without timeouts for TV commercials.

But it pays the bills...

In years past CPJ has fussed at least once during preseason about the team having a slack / lazy practice. Haven't heard that a single time this year. So far he's been positive in either saying practice was energetic or that the team "pushed through well." Makes me feel good about our conditioning and mental toughness this year. Hope this post isn't a jinx now.

Was Byerly at the scrimmage? He is not mentioned in any of the notes or videos.

Especially after a two week camp

17 play drive, lovin' it. Sounds like back to basics ain't just a catch phrase. I don't know about you guys, but 17 play drives are a thing of beauty and so demoralizing to the opposing defense. It also tires them out while keeping our D fresh.

This all sounds really good, I know it's only a scrimmage and I do this to myself almost every year, but I'm really starting to get ... optimistic !?!??

One thing that had really stood out to me is the "effective" passing. It seems like we are completing big passes when we need them, according to the reports. I just wonder how many are going incomplete. Geeez, only 2 more weeks until we can finally see everything this offense has been working on!

This is sense I've felt all camp. Lot of good things from different people. I like Bostic being mentioned for a solid blocks.
Where was TB? Tim not mentioned. I like the two young QBs getting some time and doing well.
Team chemistry means a lot and this team seems to have it. The 2009 team had it. I maybe wearing rose colored glasses but we will see as the season unfolds.

I've heard Synjyn is checking in at both B-Back and A-Back. Can anyone confirm? Is he a monster up the middle?

 

[GTJake]

@MikeDeGeorge: Justin Thomas finds Smelter and Waller for back-to-back big catches and Days does the dirty work in Red Zone to cap TD drive.

I'm sitting here trying to remember the last time I saw our offense complete back-to-back passes ??

This is true. He is hard to tackle and a good blocker from the BB spot.

I think Vad did in the UGAg game

Great! Seems like a natural fit for his monstrous size. I've yet to see if he has breakaway speed, but hopefully we'll find out soon.

Me too. I would love to see us control a game again like we were often able to do a few years ago. Watching the other team's offense just sitting on the bench looking dejected is a wonderful site.
