Spring Training 2021

[jojatk]

For those who are complaining about the penalties last year (and it’s a legit complaint that I share even as a CGC fan), what should CGC be doing that he isn’t? Let’s agree that the Time Masheen doesn’t exist and it’s a sucky ride anyway, so he can’t go back and fix last year. So that’s not an option. This year it appears that correcting that problem is one of the high priorities he has. They are changing the way practices are run to be less about frenetic activity and music and culture installation and more about disciplined football. First practice and they already has officials there calling penalties to help us figure out things we need to do better. It seems the coaches also spent a lot of time meeting this off season (I’m guessing this was partly enabled by the continued quiet period in recruiting) to plan for how to get better.

Is there something that indicates fixing the penalty problem is NOT a high priority? I’m asking that genuinely because it appears to me they get that it was a big deal and needs to be fixed and are doing something about it.

Solid article for those who can read it
Jeff Sims' progress clear to Georgia Tech coordinator Dave Patenaude

(Via AJC)

the three QBs are disciplined and study on their own. Sims came in with a lot of talent, but lacking some coaching and fundamentals. He should come a long way this year.

Interesting that Pnode mentions that some f the penalty problems were cause Sims didn't understand his cadences and cadence changes enough to coordinate with the center. He doesn't expect that to be a problem this season.

Also Pnode says that Sims didn't have a lot of good football knowledge coming in - hopefully that means we'll see a lot of improvement from him now that he's studied the game more and understands our system better.

I'm sure all of the fun in this video is too "lazy, lame, lighthearted, not disciplined enough" for half the posters on this board, but this is for the other half.

Love the celebration cam.

Penalties come down to coaching. It's on this staff to clean it up.

Go Jackets!

So the coach told them to jump offsides?

 

[Ibeeballin]

My biggest concern. Collins coached teams have ranked near the bottom of the ncaa in penalties for four straight years. This year will be telling since it’s clear they putting an emphasis on improving it. Five years straight would point to a systematic problem IMO.

We were one of the least penalized team in 2019

 

[Ibeeballin]

I know we're now 3 years removed from CPJ, and I think we're trending in the right direction so I'm not trying to stir the pot, but I would have liked to see Demetrius Knight as the QB in the 3O backing up Tobias.

Smh

Lol I kinda get the feeling Pnode doesn't know all the players names

 

[mtodd30]

Celebration cam on the sideline promotes the team to run back and not celebrate on the field, which will cut down on those unsportsmanlike conduct penalties. Good move

 

[Buzztheirazz]

I wonder who the first team to copy the celebration cam will be? Maybe someone else is already doing it and we copied them but who knows. Fun idea anyway

I really like the personality CDP brings, rooting for his success!

Coach P looks like he's in the 2nd trimester.

 

[Buzztheirazz]

And Collins isn’t far behind

Avery Boyd limping after almost every drill. Had him running zag routes and ouch... he needs to sit those out.

Kaya Wright playing in coverage a lot. Doing pretty well picking up the open man.

How does Sims look throwing the ball so far? Any WR sticking out? How’s McGowan (#2)
