Georgia Tech spring practice notes
Greetings-
A few notes from the first day of spring practice:
1. Players were in shorts and helmets, and will be Wednesday, as well. I’d guess on Friday they’ll be in helmets, shoulder pads and shorts.
Coach Paul Johnson’s impressions: “I thought the enthusiasm was pretty good. They bounced around O.K.”
He thought the conditioning level was pretty good.
2. Zach Laskey has moved back to B-back from the secondary. Johnson indicated that other players will be moved, but that it’s yet to happen. “You’re not going to do a whole lot of that on the first day,” he said. “Just kind of let ‘em get their feet under ‘em and kind of go from there.”
3. Special teams coordinator David Walkosky went through his first practice with the team. I’m told he was high energy and putting the specialists through a lot of conditioning work.
“I thought he flew around and coached hard, like I thought he would,” Johnson said.
Walkosky said that he’s 100 percent for using starters on special teams and that Johnson told him to use whatever players he needed. (I don’t think this is new.)
He also said he has watched video of every Tech game from the past three seasons since getting hired.
Special-teams coaches are known for having a lot of energy and enthusiasm. I’d never thought about why that is, but he offered a logical explanation.
“You only get one down on special teams,” he said. “You don’t get second down, you don’t get third down. Before the play, usually you have an opportunity to talk to players, so I think it’s important to use some energy to get guys going for those eight seconds.”
4. Defensive coordinator on Al Groh on the top candidates at inside linebacker, Quayshawn Nealy, Daniel Drummond and Jabari Hunt-Days (Synjyn’s brother).
“Quayshawn and Daniel got quite a bit of time in clearly what was a rookie year for both of them. A lot of positives in the year. By the same token, a lot of things that could cause this year, if they’ll take advantage of it, to be an even more positive year. It starts out there.
“In Jabari, we have a player. He’s got a significant set of skills, so we’re looking forward to giving him concentrated coaching here in the spring that was not available to him because of his position on the depth chart last fall.”
Groh also noted that Julian Burnett is doing, “from all indications, a very good job of dealing with that sudden change” of his playing days coming to an apparent end.
5. I’m working on a story for Wednesday about the competition between the quarterbacks, particularly backups Vad Lee and Synjyn Days. It’s scheduled to run Wednesday. A couple quotes from quarterbacks/B-backs coach Brian Bohannon and wide receiver Darren Waller on the first day.
Bohannon said Tevin Washington, Lee and Days were rusty.
“It wasn’t as sharp as I would have expected for three guys who have, whether they’ve played a lot or not, have been in and have an idea of what’s going on. I’d like for them to be a little sharper, so today was a little rusty. I know Wednesday will be a lot better.”
Waller said receivers did blocking drills and worked on timing routes with the quarterbacks for three separate periods during practice.
“Just getting everybody’s brain back into it, get back into football shape for where you’ve got to be,” Waller said.
Thanks for reading. The Days/Lee story should be posted by late afternoon. I’ll plan to have leftover notes from the story on the blog Wednesday morning.
6. Tech is planning to drop its final two games with BYU, at home in 2014 and on the road in 2017. With the nine-game ACC schedule starting most likely in 2013, Tech had to drop one non-conference opponent in 2014 from among Wofford, BYU, Tulane and Georgia.
Should Pitt and Syracuse join the ACC for the 2013 season, Tech won’t have the problem of dropping an opponent, as it has yet to find a fourth non-conference opponent. Tech’s non-conference opponents for 2017 (for now) are Georgia, Ole Miss and BYU. I’m going to guess that Tech would pick up a non-BCS conference FBS team or an FCS team to replace BYU.
Sorry if you already bought your plane tickets for Provo for 2017. Tough break.

Let’s see , Tech has got on the schedule the Mormons (BYU), the Presbyterians, the Jesuits (BC) and Duke who I think was founded by Methodists. This is the schedule that CPJ has been praying for.
Now all Tech needs is a miracle to win them all..
That miracle being changing the schedule and replacing sure losses to Georgia, Clemson, and Va Tech with games vs. Wofford, SMU, and Wake Forest. (The TCU Christians would be too tough). That would lead to one righteous season!
Might even get Notre Dame in the bowl game. Holy Smoke!

All the triple option plays that we run, only give us the option of running on ONE half of the field because the dive is up the middle and then the QB and A-Back run to one side of the field that has been determined pre-snap.
We do run counter plays, but this play does NOT give us the option after the snap to run the play on either side of the field.
Just trying to give suggestions with the Oregon tape, but I don’t remember seeing anything out of our playbook in the past 2 or 3 years that give the triple option to either edge of the field like Oregon.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvM2KDn5yCo&feature=g-vrec&context=G24fb193RVAAAAAAAAAg
Having the OPTION to take either the left edge of the field or the right edge of the field would spread the defense opening HUGE running lanes!

Why don’t you tell us who that’s going to be? After all, it’s easy to talk out of both sides of your mouth when saying…
A) CPJ doesn’t prepare WR’s for the NFL with this offense
or
B) CPJ underuses top-notch WR talent
So…why don’t you go out on that limb and tell us who you think he’s going to underuse?

She said stop he did and she left. Women NEVER LIE. I also KNOW the guy was a Tech coach but not a TECH MAN. He has been on the job for 8 months. He has NO TIES to tech but a pay check at this time. I will wait on convicting him of Rape for more info to come out. he did have the drugs and he didn’t just start that habit 8 months ago.

DUI is pretty straight forward. You blow and fail you are guilty and waiting to go to court. You have stolen property you are pretty guilty of some crime. You speed don’t go to court and you have a warrant. Rape is a he said she said deal. There is a lot more to discover before quilt can be decided. Read her statements to police and tell me you think that makes him guilty. There is more to this story like Commings hitting his girlfriend or the Treavon Martin case.

As to Jacket Fans comments to switch to the Oregon-style option—it’s a trade-off like comparing a sword and shield vs. a trident and net. Yes, the Tech triple option is one-directional whereas the Oregon option can run to either side—advantage Oregon. But the Tech option attacks the middle quicker with the dive or dive and follow by QB. The Oregon option has to run at least 4 yds to get back to the line of scrimmage–advantage Tech. As for blocking, for Oregon the lineman are able to block their defender to their advantage (left or right) and the RB “reads” the block–advantage Oregon. Whereas Tech has a set direction for the play and can leave defenders opposite the side they are running unblocked to concentrate blockers to the side where they are running. Oregon has to block all of the front 7 or 8—advantage Tech. So it’s simply choose which weapon you want.

I see your point with the Oregon advantages and Tech advantages. That said, I really think it would confuse a defense if we did a little of both.
Also, I’ve always thought that Oregon’s “no huddle” really keeps defenses in a blur as to what is going on. I wish we’d try the “no huddle” more than the “kill the clock” method. That said, I do realize there are times when we need to “kill the clock” if we can’t stop the our opponents offense.

Only 1 in 4 — 24 percent – of entering freshmen in Georgia’s public four-year colleges get a degree within four years, according to a new database compiled by the Chronicle of Higher Education that looks at nearly every U.S. college.
The University of Georgia has by far the best completion rate in four years — 51.3 percent, compared to just 35.1 percent for Milledgeville’s Georgia College and State University, No. 2 on the list. Georgia Tech is third-highest at 32.9 percent.
Six years seems to be the ticket: Statewide, about 52 percent of students manage to complete a four-year degree within six years. Nearly 80 percent of students at both UGA and Georgia Tech are able to graduate in six years. It’s about 60 percent for Georgia College, according to the Chronicle’s database.
So WHY do we hold Student Athletes to a Higher Standard for Graduation Rates. Tech students have harder majors and are smarter but it isn’t easy to get through TECH.

FLJ or more like Nesbitt the bruiser. Getting Stronger to hold the ball better when he runs.

Questions bugs and 5150, who do you think will be the starting QB next year?
I have heard a lot about Vad, is he going to be the future of the team or the kid Tech got last signing day?
I’m going to brag a second because I did call the first play of GT UGA game. ( about my psychic knowledge )

No more political discussions
I think Vad Lee is the heir apparent for 2013…he just brings so much more to the table than Synjyn Days. Justin Thomas will RS this year and likely compete with Vad in 2013. Of course, I don’t know what Dennis Andrews is capable of.
That will be something to behold though for Tech fans for the next 3-4 years. Both of those guys are incredible athletes in their own right. Vad is a big athletic kid who can move in close spaces…and is hands down the best passing QB that CPJ has brought to Tech. Justin Thomas might already be the fastest kid in the ACC…and has the ability to turn it loose and take it to the house on every play. He’s not tall, but has some zip on the ball when he throws it.

Sadly, I haven’t had as little expectations and interest in Georgia Tech football since Reggie Ball was tossing footballs into the stands on 4th down.
The problem isn’t necessarily the coaching (at least the X’s and O’s).
The problem is our beloved and trusted coaching staff has allowed our talent pool to be watered down to a level of a Syracuse or UConn.
And Syracuses and UConns just can’t compete with FSU’s, Miami’s and Georgia Bulldogs— regardless of the coaching.
Mark my words— You will begin to hear “Paul Johnson” and “Hot-Seat” early and often by 2013.

Good luck to Julian Burnett.I hope he gets a good education from GT. He was a go getter on the field !!! He will be missed!!!

If tevin is the starter, then this coaching staff needs to go. 9-8 as a starter in the weakest conference says it all. Take out duke(2 wins) west caro, midd tenn and horrible kansas and maryland teams and he’s 4-8. I would rather watch vad mess up a few times but get better and be a top qb by seasons end than the same crap all over again. Tevin was not any better this year than the 5 games in 2010. Sorry that is the facts. Nice kid but it’s time to let someone else show what they can do.

Ole Miss moved the 2013 game to 2017/18…we have Elon, BYU, and UGA in 2013.

This is one Dawg fan that hopes Julian Burnett gets healthy soon. “IF” he can’t play again that would be really sad from a fans stand point. But maybe he can take this time to heal and learn the ins and outs of coaching, He has a great football heart. When god closes one door another one always opens. Get Well Soon Julian.
