Robert Hall Q&A
Robert Hall was kind enough to sit down with me a few weeks ago for another in our summer question and answer series. In this, he talks about German French fries, the joy of math, and the toughest player to tackle in the ACC.
AJC: A lot of the players I’ve talked to, when I’ve asked them for a player that really stood out in spring, they named you. So what does it feel like to be invincible out there on the football field?
RH: (laughs) I wouldn’t say invincible. I mean, I just feel like it’s my time. I waited my time. It’s time for me to step up to the plate. That’s it.
AJC: What did you learn from the guys before you?
RH: What did I learn? Play as an entire unit, and not just as an individual. I guess you wouldn’t say each one of them alone was really the greatest. But all together they made a great defense. Really liked that teamwork.
AJC: How does that work on the defensive line? You’re out on the end, you’re trying to focus on what’s ahead of you, but also, I don’t know if you are paying attention to what the other three guys are doing, or are you just trusting them?
RH: Has a lot to do with trust and assignment. In our defense you have to know what the other guys are doing on the line. If you have contain, and you lose your contain, you might hang somebody else out to dry. It’s very important to know where your teammates are and what they are doing.
AJC: Do you and the other linemen hang out off the field? What do y’all do?
RH: Most of all we do class. Go out to eat. Hang out in the rooms. Play video games.
AJC: Where’s y’all’s favorite place to go?
RH: The room. The room is the favorite. Play video games.
AJC: Who is the video game king, and what game is it?
RH: Everybody professes to be the king in (EA Sports) NCAA.
AJC: Which team do you play?
RH: It depends, Probably Florida because they are No. 1, so…
AJC: Have you played against Georgia Tech when you are Florida?
RH: No, but I have played the older versions that had Georgia Tech.
AJC: So, who do you think really stepped up in the spring practice.
RH: A lot of the younger guys. Maybe not one individual. Tev Washington worked hard and solidified his place. A lot of young guys broke out. Embry Peeples broke out. Anthony Allen had a big spring game. Overall, showed us a lot of depth, I feel like.
AJC: So what classes are you taking right now?
RH: Financial management, consulting, finite math.
AJC: What is finite math?
RH: Finite math deals with probabilities of accounting. Accounting stuff. A lot of real world stuff.
I like financial math because it helps you learn about money and how to invest it and deal with that.
AJC: A couple of questions I’ve asked all the guys. Y’all’ve got a tough beginning to the schedule, Jacksonville State, and then Clemson and Miami back-to-back with a short turn between Jacksonville State and Clemson. What is going to be the key to getting off to a good start this year?
RH: Key is right now us preparing and training. Our conditioning is pretty intense. That will help us transition for those games and those quick turnarounds.
AJC: In your experience from last year, who is the toughest defender to play against in the ACC?
RH: I would say the quarterback from Virginia Tech, Tyrod Taylor. Really shifty.
AJC: You’ve talked about what you do outside of class, but what’s the most fun for you? What do you like to do most?
RH: I like to eat. I have been to many restaurants around here.
AJC: What’s your favorite restaurant?
RH: Most recently I like this spot called Ecco, off of Spring Street. It’s pretty good.
AJC: What kind of food?
RH: Everything from trout to french fries. Called pomme frites, because of German (origins).
AJC: Do any cooking?
RH: All the time.
AJC: What do you cook?
RH: Last night I made queso dip.
AJC: Which teams do you follow?
RH: Like the Falcons, of course. I used to be a big Hornets fans when they were in Charlotte. But that’s old school.
AJC: How much do you bench?
RH: My reps have been increasing. We max out last week. Might tip out over 400. My last max was 385.
AJC: Are you the strongest on the team?
RH: Nooo.
AJC: Who is strongest?
RH: Hard to say. A couple of guys. Pound for pound, Roddy Jones, Marcus Wright. I’d say Roddy, pound for pound.
AJC: What would surprise people to know about you?
RH: I was born in Germany, stayed there nine years.
AJC: Dad military?
RH: Army.
AJC: So you remember some German?
RH: I went to German school. Moved here in 96, didn’t get involved in football until eighth grade.
AJC: What got you out there?
RH: Coach was like ‘you’re big, so why don’t you play?’
AJC: Did you like it?
RH: I was kind of in a unique situation (at Hawkinsville). We had a lot of DI talent, kind of just trickled down. Lot of spotlight on the school. It helped me get where I want to go. It was a good situation. Two championships, three Dome appearances.
AJC: Anything to say to the Tech fans who read the blog?
RH: Thank you for your support. Spring game, biggest turnout we’ve seen since been here. Go Jackets.

I, for one, enjoyed the interview. And I agree with “Tom” that there will be far less drop-off on the D-line this year than most are expecting. Part of that may be due to the upgraded defensive backfield. Our D will once again shine even in the shadow of the Triple-Option.

I’m pretty confident in our D-line for this year. They pounded Jaybo and Tevin during the spring game, forcing a bunch of fumbles, as opposed to last year where most of them were unforced.

Robert — good to hear from you. I’m glad you know it’s your time and from all accounts you have really stepped it up. I think the team could actually be better this year at DE if you come through. I wish Doug had asked you some questions about the defensive tackles. Do you think T.J.Barnes will have a major impact? Have you had a chance to see the new kid, Lanier, in any drills?

Dave et al;
It’s time to grow up and start acting like an adult; have adult conversations because we are on an adult topic. This isn’t kindergarten, where bullies start to throw toys and tantrums, begging for attention and trying to start fights.
If you want to visit and have a meaningful discussion about a young man who is obviously interested in his education as well as his athletics, then, by all means, join us. If not, take your sarcasm and and childish antics to the corner for your timeout, where you belong.
And before all of you GA Tech fans start to tee off; don’t. If you try to get into a wrestling match with a pig, you both get dirty and the pig likes it. Stay away from the arguments and insults, ignore him and his like, and let’s get back to the fine representation of a “scholar athlete” that Robert Hall has exhibited for the Jackets. He is one heck of a role model for any young man striving to make it to college and play at the next level, no matter where he chooses to play.

I wonder if UGA fans read the GT blogs because they are actually Jacket fans in the closet. Why else would they read the GT blog? Perhaps they are nervous. I suppose it’s best to expect a beatdown at the end of the year by keeping tabs on your enemy rather than being surprised.

I’m still worried about the D-line, especially the depth. If one guys gets hurt it’s going to be ugly. That’s one reason why I think we will have the same record this year as last year, even though our offense will be much better.

K-Dogg, it will be deep as in we’ll have plenty of warm bodies, but the depth is inexperienced and young. I love Hall, Morgan, Anderson, and Peters, but outside that of that, nobody has gotten significant minutes.

The Dawgs and the Yellow Jackets have to date met 95 times on the football field, with the Bulldogs leading the 107-year-old series, 53-36-5. In 2002, Georgia hosted Georgia Tech and boasted its largest margin of victory in the series, 44 points. During the rivalry, Georgia has compiled a winning record in 8 of the 11 decades, including the past four decades.

Hayseed Dixie:
This year’s D-line vs last year’s doesn’t seem much of a change, except for a lot more potential in this year’s. It’s hard to judge the D-line based off of the spring game, since that they practice against the run pretty much 24/7. We all know that our offense is pretty much dominating, and during the spring game, the defense held them.
The only problem is that from watching the spring game, I can’t tell if the O-line got better or if the D-line got worse, because Nesbitt definitely had a lot more time in the pocket for passing.
But then again, the O-line can’t get any worse than they were last year, right?
Also, just to keep everyone informed, the renovations at the stadium are coming along well. I drive by the stadium about three times a week, and there’s always something new added every time. It’s gonna be the best “high school” stadium in the country when it’s done.
K-Dogg
July 1st, 2009

Agree that the depth is “inexperienced depth”…but it’s depth none the less. Egbuniwe, the transfer from Tulsa, has really bulked up nicely…and word is that the freshman Dieke has already put on 20-30 pounds and could be burning his redshirt this year as well. I think Barnes and Peters will surprise a lot of people with their play at the DT spot. Hopefully Barnes’ conditioning is improved. We’re going to need him to stay healthy, that’s for sure.

Although I don’t follow the UGA blogs, I wouldn’t mind an occasional comment from any of our rivals if it was intelligent football talk. A good natured dig every now and then is part of the fun, but to debase this blog to the level of Bevis and Butthead only illustrates that the vast majority of dog fans never smelled a textbook at UGA.

if they had been a german invention they would have been called gebraten Erdapfel or Bratkartoffel.

Also, I liked Ecco, but it’s pricey, even for a grad. Can’t imagine eating there as a student. He has good tastes, though, if expensive. The goat cheese in honey appetizer is unbe-freakin-leivable

Sorry its been so long from posting all Tech fans on here, school keeps me busy now a days when all the good convo is starting to happen. First of all to all you UGA fans this is the GT blog, second of all Roddy is still running. Now that we get the fundamentals out of the way we can talk about a little more.
To all you UGA fans who love your bulldogs on the GT blog, how many national championships have ya’ll won with all the amazing talent ya’ll get from recruiting? Congrats on calling us a second tier team, but ya’ll STILL after all of these great seasons of beating Tech in the Gailey years have not YET competed for a national title (and I will answer your responses to this, SEC most dominant division, but this does not excuse ya’ll from not even once playing in a national champioinship game) So as UGA continues to downplay its talent and continues its 3rd or 4th best team in the SEC Tech will continue to rise over the next 4 years. So UGA fans be proud because yeah we DID play in Boise and we DID throw the ball out of the back of the endzone to help you win, and we DID lose to ya’ll 7 times in a row…..but those are a lot of PAST TENSE words. Now its we have beaten you at your own field when you started #1, and we have put a fear in a lot of ya’ll now that we have a coach who has a fire about his job….so enjoy the past because I will continue to enjoy the future!!

Hey Minn — thats what they fear the most — CPJ 1, CMR 0. They got fat and happy when Chan was the man, but “the times – they are a changin”.
Everyone pretty much accepts that the offense will be better. The detractors only crutch is that our D-line will be pathetic with the departure of three players to the pros. They can think that now, but when Derrick Morgan and Robert Hall are eating Cox’s head, and T.J.Barnes and J.C.Lanier are stuffing the RB’s, it will become clear that the defensive line is not a weakness. It’s also pretty much a given that the linebacking core and the secondary will both be improved.

PTC Jacket … Nesbitt didn’t play in the spring game; he was injured (shoulder).
Dixie … the o-line was without 3 starters in the spring game so it is hard to evaluate the two (d-line / o-line). HOWEVER, the o-line guys played most of the spring thus got quality snaps in addition to building depth. Add to that the night-and-day diffence in offensive performances (by both the 1st & 2nd team off) from 2008 to 2009 spring games and there’s reason to be very optimistic. Repetition, repetition, repetition, PJ is building depth on the o-line.
I’m a believer that the d-line will be fine; arguably BETTER than in ‘08. They are certainly more atheletic (Peters, Hall, Morgan) vs. (Richards, Walker, Johsnon). Derrick Morgan was the best d-lineman last year, and Peters & Hall are more atheletic than Richards & Walker.
It’s all about health. If the Jackets stay healthy then expect big things in ‘09. Two “Stingers” not on the squad in ‘08 that will play big roles in ‘09:
Athony Allen on offense.
Jerrard Tarrant on defense (and punt return).

It would be more interesting this year to beat an actual Georgia team that was something other than a so-so SEC team.

Why should Tech fans have any respect for mutt fans, especially considering the crap you post here, in what is SUPPOSED TO BE A TECH BLOG? And in addition, any opposing team fan that has ever been to Sanford & Son Stadium will tell you that the mutt fans are the worst anywhere. Tech fans may currently be experiencing possibly unwarranted visions of grandeur based on one win over the mutts, but your fans are experiencing delusions of grandeur based on 1980-81, and 7 wins over Tech, forgetting all those recent losses to UF, UT, and Bama. I’ll take Tech’s last year over the mutts’ last year anyday. And, regardless of what you think, Tech IS on the upswing, not only against UGAG, but across the board. So I’ll take our possible future over yours anyday also.

The D line will be fine. The starters as of now are at DT are Ben Anderson and Jason Peters. Both are quick and strong, and have waited their turn. The improved play of the LB’s this year (extremely young -the weak point last year) will greatly enhance the DL’s results. Extra depth at DB will make a hugh difference as well. Hybrid safety/LB position will make pass coverage stronger as well. This plus, Paul will be scoring more points means good things to come! Kicking game, turnovers, and injuries are all the intangibles that need to go right. Dog fans are on this site because they like what Paul is doing. Sniping comments only means that they are trying to do what their football team could not do last year…..Beat Paul…..and it doesn’t work! So, welcome to the STATE CHAMPIONS SITE BOYS!!

Diamond dawg is just pissed off because UF keeps kicking their butts year end and year out. Yeah, UGA fans have a lot to talk about. They’ve won once in how many years against UF. Aleast we knew we haven’t be good for awhile until CPJ came to town. It will be a different story from now on though. UGA get ready cause here we come.

Ken, what is Jergins for? I guess the Tech guys all have money and time to go out during the summer to the bars and get in trouble like the UGA players do so often.
Let’s get to playing soon please.

Phil: More grammar – it’s ‘no less’, not ‘none the less’ (which should have been ‘nonetheless’ anyway). Bonus: NASCAR, not Nascar.
POAD: Phil knows what the Jergen’s is for. Ask him.

I have to say that we Gt fans may be too optimistic about the coming season. There are simply too many unknowns about our team to predict we will win the ACC, etc..::
Unproven Kicking game (all phases), untested D-line, unproven O-line, and no real proof that Nesbit can really pass. I am very hopeful but not convinced we can match last year not to mention be much better. All phases of the kicking game are totally unproven and are so, so important to winning.

This will be a big year for RH due to all the doubling teaming Derick Morgan will be getting.
…the defense will be fine.
The offense, well, Roddy Jones just scored again.

But GTMAN, only the SEC have tough schedules.
If you don’t believe me, they’ll be about 50 stupid fleabags telling you very soon (its their rationale for choking every year).
