Spring football priorities
Spring practice begins at 3:30 p.m. today. It’s the first of 14 practices before the T-Day Game at noon Saturday, April 18.
Ken picked five storylines to watch. Coley Harvey of the Macon Telegraph has five questions to ponder. And here’s the preview from Tech’s sports information office.
You also might have noticed this tidbit about Tech hosting an actor preparing for “The Blind Side” movie. If you haven’t read the book by Michael Lewis (”Moneyball,” “Liar’s Poker”), I can’t recommend it enough.
So how would you rank Tech’s priorities this spring?

Jenn, that game has typically been played at noon in the past. The date I know for sure is Saturday, April 18th.

Seeing the photo of Coach Brian Jean-Mary trying to read off a wet play list tells me the CPJ needs to invest in a laminator. If it is not rain, there will always be sweat. Coach doesn’t need to waste time trying to read smudged play lists.
As for priorities, O-Line and D-Line needs lots of time in the weight room. We got whipped in both trenches in the Peach.
Offense continue to learn the offensive system.
Special teams coach needs to watch film of the best special teams (eg Beamer ball) and work to achieve that level. Offer open tryouts for students for kickoff kicker to see if we can find one that can put it out of the end zone everytime (Remember E.O. Wheeler).
Would not hurt for A backs, B Backs, and receivers to use the Walter Payton / Mike Singletary method of training by running/sprinting up steep hills. Then running on level ground and over line backers will be a piece of cake.

Anything short of an ACC championship will be a dissapointment. I don’t think we can go undefeated and our strength of schedule is not good enough to get us into a NC game. But we should be better than the rest of the ACC, we were last year, but were inconsistent. CPJ seems to be on the right track, increase our player options and depth, expand the playbook, and be stronger and meaner than everyone else.
