Paul Johnson sticks up for Washington
Greetings-
Your Paul Johnson news conference highlights:
1. Clemson is “probably the most talented team we’ve played since I’ve been here at Georgia Tech, at least in this stadium,” Johnson said.
2. He doesn’t think the sky is falling. “As I said last week, I don’t want to put the L’s down until we lose the games, if that’s O.K. with everybody,” said Johnson, in perhaps an unfortunate choice of phrasing. “I’d like to at least play them and see what happens.”
3. Johnson defended quarterback Tevin Washington, saying the offense’s lack of production in recent weeks is not his fault alone. “I think those guys get too much credit and too much blame sometimes. He’s like everyone else: He’s working hard and trying to correct what needs to be corrected.” Johnson said that Washington is not a guy he needs to push, that he’s self-motivated, hard on himself and holds himself accountable for his mistakes.
4. Part of Clemson’s ability to put up a lot of points is due to the numbers of plays that they run. The Tigers have run 626 plays, the most in the country. In the Clemson-North Carolina game, there were 16 possessions each, as opposed to 10 each in the Miami-Tech game. “That’s almost another half of football, so you’re going to have more points,” he said.
Johnson said further that “When you’re as talented as they are, you can score in bunches in a hurry.”
5. Clemson’s style won’t cause Tech to alter what the Jackets do offensively. “We’ve just got to try to do what we can do,” he said. He felt the same defensively, even though Clemson can run a high number of plays, because the linemen substitute considerably and the linebackers get swapped out on various packages. The secondary plays the entire game, generally, but there isn’t a lot of depth.
6. Johnson was asked about a petition signed by college football players and basketball players wanting a slice of the revenue schools receive from TV contracts. An Associated Press story Monday said that 55 Tech players had signed it. Denzel McCoy, who was recruited to Tech but is not on the roster because of a medical condition, was quoted in the story.
Johnson was not aware of the story or the petition, but said “I’m all for players getting whatever they can get.”
7. Johnson was asked about negative recruiting tactics against Tech from rival coaches who tell prospects that they can’t get to the NFL if they go there.
Johnson said that “I just point out the guys from Tech that are in the NFL.” He added further that if a prospect looks at a college solely as a vehicle to get to the NFL, “he’s probably not coming to Georgia Tech anyway because if that’s his only concern, he’s going to go somewhere where there’s 100,000 people at the game and the school’s not hard.”
8. Regarding special teams, Johnson said that “there’s a lot of things you can do. We try and do it every day.” He noted that Tech has five special-teams specialists on scholarship – punters Chandler Anderson and Sean Poole, kicker Justin Moore and long snappers Tyler Morgan and Sean Tobin – which might be the most of any team in the country
“I don’t care who’s coaching special teams,” he said. “If you punt the ball 13 yards, it’s not good.”
He asserted, more or less, that it’s not as bad as people think and that it’s the focus of attention because the team has lost two in a row. “We’re not good, but we’re about right in the middle,” he said.
9. He said Roddy Jones spoke to the team Monday with the message that there’s still a lot to play for, that the team can still win 11 games. “I want to win every game,” Johnson said. “The reality is the other teams have 85 scholarship players and they pay their coaches and they try to win, too.”
10. Johnson said he was just trying to get the offense going when he put in Synjyn Days late in the game against Miami. “We weren’t operating at a high level,” he said. “Sometimes you just kind of change things up and see what happens. That was it.”
He noted that Days fumbled. “If he takes care of the ball, he’s going to play more. Synjyn, he’s a talented guy. He can do some things, but you’ve got to take care of the ball.”
11. Johnson said he didn’t know how long center Jay Finch will be out. “It’s not near as bad as they thought. It’s a sprain and we’ll see how it goes.”

We do not want you this year win or lose vs Clemson or UGA. That middle school offense is a joke and last year vs # 157 Air Force, you got stung. You brought 189 skinny lil fans and you spent a collective $459.00 at Shoney’s on their Two for One Fried Fish night; also known as CPJ’s favorite place to dine.
Also, your coach is on the Waffle House Exec Board hot seat and we do not want that going on during bowl week here in Shreveport.

well… I guess we’ll see how it goes. The defense is finally playing more consistently, gotta get the offense clicking on all cylinders now. Special teams just needs to not eff it up too bad this week. Seems like thats about the best we can ask for from those guys. Winning out would certainly turn the season around, but we have to play all 4 quarters, which I have been saying since the MTSU game. Probably drop one to either Clemson or VT, Duke and UGA are certainly winnable games.

Augusta Chronicle – (UGA) has to close the library on game days because … “people were peeing in the stacks, vomiting in the stairwell and getting into fights in the lobby that the people who worked (there) got fed up with all the abuse.”
pretty much eliminates the dawgs from any talk of classy programs! of course the dawgs who post on this blog just re enforce their shortcomings over and over again.

I was concerned about how the team was coming to play against Virginia and Miami, in particular because they were playing on the road and the team was just flat out tired. This coming weekend, I think fans will see another Yellow Jacket squad on the field against Clemson; more focused and more energized. Anyone who thinks this game is a slam-dunk for the Tigers hasn’t followed this rivalry, nor have they observed how the GA Tech defense has improved over the past several weeks.

IMO,, Tevin’s poor performance in last 2 games is related to his large number of carries. When you get hit often and hard,, it does wear you down and then here come the errors. The loss of Finch was a bigger factor than most realize.

Jacket Man, I certainly hope that the road and lack of rest were major contributors to our sloppy play the last 2 weeks. I am hopeful for a refreshed, refocused team as well.
Speaking of Clemson, I was looking through the rivalries that the ajc deemed to be the 12 biggest in the country and Clem v SC was on there. The picture was of a SC player on the ground with his helmet off and a Clem player trying to stomp on his head while the cops were trying to get to him. Kind of reminded me of the Miami-FIU fiasco a few years ago..

I would say the fumble Days had was maybe unavoidable. When the defensive and offensive player are hurt or slow to get up the hit was pretty hard and well fumbles will happen. I would hope that particular fumble would not define his season.
reebok,
What would you have him say? Would you like him to publicly list where he thinks Clemson may have some holes? Would you like him to list the schemes for the games? He sounds pretty honest and up front to me and at least he is listening to the fans, whether you like the response is debatable.

All dead wrong.
We won the second most games last decade than anyone in the SEC (90)
LSU had 91
We have a winning record against every SEC team not named Florida the last ten years.
3 out of last 4 against Bama
3 out of last 4 against LSU
6 out of last 4 against Auburn
Third most SEC Titles (12) all time.

I agree Jacket Man. On paper, the Tigers look unbeatable, but certain teams seem to play well against other teams. UVA, for some reason, tends to have our number. But we’ve done very well against CU over the years. I’m hoping for the best.
Who is our third string center? Did he play in the Miami game? I hope we won’t need him and that Finch’s injury is not too bad.

I live in Athens and was at a neighborhood party talking to a neighbor who works in security at UGA. He said that during football home games some of the fans were breaking into campus buildings and trashing them. I think if UGA required a proof of graduation to get into the stadium it wouldn’t put 20,000 fans in the stands. UGA’s problem in think lies in the Wal-Mart fans, not many of the actual grads. Most the UGA fans around here graduated and are very nice. They don’t like Tech, but they are civil about the rivalry. Some of the UGA posters on the blog are questionable about whether they attended any college. Why would a UGA fan be here anyway? Mostly jackasses.

Headley,
Come on man be honest. The last time UGA won the SEC title it was a down year in the SEC. That 90 contains several FCS schools and GT, remember you say how bad GT is so can’t really brag about that. I now many a SEC fan and yes over the last three years they take UGA lightly whether you want to see it or not. UGA is making a nice run right now and may win out, but will then actually have to face a good SEC team in LSU or Alabama and believe it or not I would like to see UGA win that game but they will probably be crushed.

Headley I say that due to the records of the teams that year and the fact that how often does the winner of the SEC not get to play for the NC? I am not trashing your team or making stupid remarks I am simply pointing out facts. It’s not UGA’s fault other teams were not playing well but records speak for themselves. Thank you for giving me the laugh with the elite remark though.
No problem. Glad to help.
In 2002 UGA went 13-1 and was not allowed to play for the National Title.
Miami and Ohio St were both undefeated.
Is that UGA’s fault. Did we get to play them. No.
LSU loses two games in 2007 but because of a crazy last weekend they get in.
If LSU loses two games in 2002 and UGA one in 2007 everything is different.
Without a playoff the NC is part luck. The SEC title is not.
Big Difference.
Any logical person would agree.

Thats the only one that matters. The other one is partly luck,
So the five SEC teams that did it were just lucky, and UGA is unlucky? That’s a new excuse. Since Mark Richt started there UGA is ranked number two in recruiting overall. The other teams in the top 5 have all played in at least two MNC games, all winning at least one. UGA on the other hand hasn’t come close. I guess all of those teams were lucky as well.

No.
Because the title run is only part of it.
Its winning most of our bowl games. It winning consistently OOC.
For example an SEC team plays and ACC team every year.
Lets say the SEC team is UGA and the ACC team Tech.
The SEC team would probably win 9 out of 10 of those games.
Sure there are exceptions.
Auburn lost to Clemson.

Georgia let up on tech in 2009 and 2010 holding 14 point leads for the majority of each game, similar to what happened with Vandy this year. I don’t consider eeking out anything when its a 2 td difference for the majority of the game. 2008 was the same , Georgia became overconfident and let tech back into the game. The talent gap between the 2 teams is now as large as 2002. Like Clemson and to a degree VT the only chance Tech has of winning will be it the opposition plays well below their capabilities and tech plays well beyond theirs.the longer pj is at tech the larger the talent gaps will become.

Pretty simple calculation actually.The argument may seem tired to you because your strong suit is not academics. Sure there are plenty of majors at UGA that spit out some high earners. Law fields, medical fields, potentially jouralism, a few sciences, probably a few others, etc. Tech however is consistently ranked as one of the most valuable degrees in the country as opposed to our supposed yankee neighbors to the northeast..athens.

On average, 65 percent of those who hold a bachelor’s degree in such fields will earn more than those who hold master’s degrees in other subjects. Among those with associate’s degrees in the science and technical fields, 63 percent earn more than those who hold bachelor’s degrees in other subjects.”

Hmmm interesting, thank you Delbert. I whole heartedly agree with engineers having to sell to engineers. One of the most valuable set of degrees in my opinion would be an engineering degree coupled with an MBA after 5 or so yrs experience.
Also saw we were ranked 24th in the world by a British publication.

“What’s striking to me is that I’m used to thinking of liberal arts as the foundational degree that gives you lots of options in a career,” Mr. Carnevale said. Increasingly, he said, science, technology, engineering and math are crucial to a wide-ranging career. “You get a bigger bump going in, and almost at every stage you have other options,” he said.
That’s enough to get the drift. If anyone is interested, Google the source article.
It’s never to late for trolls to work toward a degree in science, technology engineering or math. I did after 8 years in the service. I wasn’t qualified to attend Georgia Tech out of high school. Our HS chemistry teacher was a home econ major, and a group of us students got her kicked out after the fall session.

Tech ‘10 – You got it. My path was 3 misguided years prior the the draft trying to get me, so I singned up for special training in the Navy. After 7 years, my Navy teaing helped with getting my BA in Natural Science and Math, and it helped immensely in my career in engineering and management (Full Member IEEE). I got my MS in IS much later.

Delbert D. – Navy, very cool. I was thinking about the Seabees, since my degree is in Construction. I did however intern with Jacobs Engineering designing water and wastewater treatment plants and it was a bit funny to watch salesmen come in and try to sell products to my boss when they could not answer his techinal questions. On the flipside, it was amazing to watch a salesmen who had previously been an engineer talk about a product not have to answer a single question because he had already covered all the bases.

Tech ‘10 – SeaBees would be good. A friend of mine was a Civil Eng. from Auburn, and he went Navy Nuclear Power. Some stayed in for a career, but a lot of them entered the work force after their 6 years in the Navy. Back in the ’80s and ’90s, I recruited a lot of those guys, since I knew first hand their background, training and experience. After a long period of decline in the mid ’90s, it is making a comeback in a big way. I worked with the big reactor design and Mfg. companies, construction companies, public utilities and 25 years with consulting companies.

Kb, I don’t know what you saw, but I saw TW move the ball down the field for 60 yards before throwing the interception. The sad thing there, as it was in the 2009 game, is that there really was no need to pass. We were running the ball down your throats, and if we had kept doing that, you would have lost both games. Yeah, I know we didn’t run; we did throw. But don’t tell me you were concerned during both years. Even UGA or Russell, or whatever inbred mongrel you have on your sideline had quit licking his butt.

ArkyTech- You are mixing eras as different as Goff and Richt (I thought that Donnan was pretty good, especially with recruiting).
The first 2 QB recruits transferred due to the depth chart (2nd and 4th going into last year), and the fact is the 2nd string guy wanted to be a coach following in his father’s footsteps. The new QB is redshirting so far. I’d rather him get the game experience for next season.

I have said this before and will now say it again:
GT needs a major that doesn’t require Engineering Calculus and Science courses. Just one major that is all so that GT can recruit bigger and better talent. It will not tarnish GT’s image as an Engineering school just like UGA won’t ever be known as an Engineering school even they now will offer that curiculum.
GT people need to write the GT President about this issue as well as the other one which is Redshirt Juniors not being able to get into Grad school. Only Roddy Jones made it. The rest have to play elsewhere particularly down the street. The former GT coach down the street knows that and probably took that job knowing how many talented players he would be able to grad.
Come one GT, let’s make changes. Tired of being the Sisters of the Poor.

Go Jackets, unfortunately it is not in the hands of the Tech administration. Changes in curriculum are determined or sanctioned by the Board of Regents and the Georgia Legislature, both of which are packed with UGA alums. In case you are not familiar with it, in the 1930s, Tech tried to add a school of commerce, but the UGA alums down the street VETOED it; they would not allow it at all. It is because of that denial that Georgia State University (at that time College) eventually came into existence. It is that same block of UGA alums (different individuals, of course) who ok’d the creation of a totally unnecessary school of engineering in Athens last year. They will do anything at all do increase Adam’s empire, and nothing whatsoever to bring change to Tech.

For Ga.Tech to be so worried about Clemson just shows you how pathetic Clemson and Tech actually are. Clemson is a joke, and for their fans to rush the field after they beat an Auburn team that is the 4th best team in the SEC west, shows you how pathetic Clemson and their fans are. Clemson would get their asses handed to them if they played in the SEC, same as Ga.Tech and it’s high school offense. Last time i checked, UGA had beaten Clemson the last 5 times they have played the pathetic school. Tech and Clemson are UGA’s little brother, and if either one of them ever played an SEC schedule they would be lucky to have a winning season. Have a good time watching the paper tigers and the mighty jackets battle it out. Want really matter who wins, because if they play a decent team other than an ACC team in a bowl game, they will both get exposed.

Clemson is no joke…but you are. The Tigers would beat the crap out of UGA. Bet on it. They are loaded and don’t make many mistakes. UGA playing the Tigers would lose by 20…do your damn home work instead of dreaming little puppy. You better worry about UF kicking yours back to Athens.
