[QUOTE="Greenjackets, post: 166710, member: 943"] My single worry having watched many seasons of GT football since graduating in 1993 is overconfidence in 2015. Its probably cliche but we do not handle success very well. Over the past 26 years numerous times unexpected success one year has been followed by disappointment the next. Think of the UGA game in 2009, we had no business losing to them but somehow we did. I think Johnson is handling the current team in the best way possible by deliberately withholding any praise for who he expects to be the senior leaders on this team. I would expect Jabari to be the hungriest player on the roster having missed all of the success last year and for Johnson to instill a mindset amongst the players that we were great last year and will be even better by adding Jabari to the lineup would be counterproductive. I have zero insider knowledge but believe this to be the case and really like how Johnson is handling this. Likewise, Gary Brown was scout team player of the year last year and Shamire performed well in games so there should be no big concerns about who will play right guard. Its the only offensive line position without a returning starter and to maintain uncertainty raises the level of competition and motivation for the entire unit. [/QUOTE]
