I am afraid I am here too little on the defense and this is a bad thing!! My canine gut feel is the Tech Defense has most likley taken a step or two back. It would mostlikey benefit Tech to go to a 40 look up front as well. They have serious personell issues on the Defensive front to be playing a 3-4 with a Nose guard.

I see a 6 maybe a 7 win season at best due to poor defnesive front play..

Yall Bring Giff Smith and Tenuta back and yall could be a force to be rekond with

Giff Smith was a great recruiter— something our current staff obviously has little interest in or ability to do.

We have personell issues all over. That’s what you get when you get outrecruited by Marylands, Wake Forests and UConns.

The dwags need not concern themselves with our defense…

Losing Burnett hurt, but we are stacked at linebacker. Jeremiah Attaochu will be All-ACC (at least).

Our D-line play will improve as well, though it probably is the weak link right now. We finally have some physical, experienced players.

The secondary will be an excellent group. Louis Young is the best corner you haven’t heard of. Sweeting is also really underrated. Jemea Thomas, Isaiah Johnson, Fred Holton coming back. I think (and hope) this is the strength of the entire team.

If our D can be just average yardage wise, but cause turnovers, this could be a really special year.

I think we will be.

To the extent anyone believes the recruiting rankings, then the recruiting is about where it always has been. It would be nice to at least deal with facts.

Did the defense add the wrinkles for the benefit of the offense or was that something new that they were working on, Ken? Thanks.

O-line was a liability last year but they were young and inexperienced. I hope what you foresee comes true, BigTime. I don’t see it but hopefully Sewak is poor mouthing to get these guys to perform.

Ted – agree whole heartedly with the DB assessment. From the first games last year, you could see the talent level in the D backfield.

But – this blog is about he O-line. Don’t let the troll hijack it.

maybe Ken when you talk to CPJ ask him if he ever talks to Giff Smith anymore. Tell him there are fans on the blogs wishing his return. I cannot imagine anybody wanting to stay in Buffalo that long. Maybe Giff would come back if someone would pick up the phone, just saying…

Tenuta did a great job at GT. I hated CPJ did not ask him to stay on board.

Tenuta did a great job? Are you serious? Tenuta did a great job one week, then the next we gave up 40 points. There was nothing consistent about John Tenuta.

As for Giff Smith, yeah he brought in some studs SOME years…but overall he didn’t bring in consistently good athletes like McCollum has. I don’t think bringing back Giff Smith helps our recruiting out a whole lot, to be honest with you.

@ FLJ……I am in COMPLETE agreement with you regarding Tenuta. His defenses looked spectacular at times, but more often than not, they looked average at best, and sometimes downright awful. Guys need to remember that his defense was almost completely responsible for one loss at UVA, and didn’t contribute much to the other loss up there. The players on Tenuta’s defenses looked like they performed only when they WANTED to—-no discipline whatsoever

Tenuta’s gone for a reason.

Ken, do you think our o-line performance and capability is the largest factor for the shotgun being implemented?

@Million Dollar Man – sweet name and you’re right. We don’t need a great defense. We need a slightly average defense that plays well on third downs. If you look at total years of experience in the system, we’re much better off than last year. CAG has always said it’s a three year process.

@ GTfan, probably because he knocks the crap out of people and/or we’re looking at more blitzing this year, which would mean more cover skills needed at the safety spot.

BTTF’s enthusiasm is contagious. I see an experienced O-line that should exceed expectations. I expect more yardage for Sims and Smith and more time for the QB to plant his feet and zip the ball.

Like how Ken reports as opposed to Chip at UGA, Chip is fine but he gets to overly enthusiastic. Like Spring game report how back-ups played so well, used example where backup defender caused fumble. Yet it was a backup QB that fumbled the ball.

Tech reports seem more real, does not give all credit to defense when Tech QB’s fumble, but states that as concern about QB play.

OL might be the deepest, most experienced unit on the field.

Uzzi, Finch, and Jackson on the interior are solid, as are their regular backups (Mason, McRae, Braun). I’m worried about Tackle because those guys do a lot of scooping on LBs to cut off the backside, but then they also have to pass protect against the other teams best pass rusher. That’s why we need a guy like Morgan Bailey healthy…

——————————————-
Ken is great. I hope he stays the Tech correspondent for a long time. Ken also allows for more free expression than Chip, unless you type the words red_neck or yes_ter_day. Ken even allows WnE to post his drivel on here where a couple of the login required Tech message boards have banned him. If you read StingTalk or GTSportsTalk, you will find posts saying their boards have improved a million percent (that’s what it says) since WnE was banned. I wonder if this board would likewise improve if WnE was banned?

While I find him hysterical, the old adage might be true that if he repeats his lies long enough and loud enough, they will eventually become accepted as the truth.

Forgot about Zenon, he’ll be in there. I think the A-Back rotation will be deeper than the Orwin Smith-Roddy Jones-Embry Peeples rotation we saw in 2011.

I definitely think we could see Tony Zenon, B.J. Bostic, Jamal Golden, and a couple other guys returning kickoffs. I like Jemea Thomas returning punts because he has terrific ball skills and instincts.

I think their trying Perkins at A-Back to get him familiar with it. Depending on what Marcus Allen does in the Fall, Perkins might be on his last position change…kind of like David Sims was last year.

Tech’s lack of media coverage is traced to one irrefutable truth…We don’t let everybody in

So a school that graduates people at a rate 3X greater than Tech, and because of the in-state/out-of-state mix at Tech…the rate who graduate AND stay in Georgia must be 8X greater or so (3X and I think Tech is 40% out-of-state).

4. VT first game of the year (many analysts agree that this is pro-GT because defending the option is hard enough when you’re in mid-season form, much less right out of the chute)”

Tokyo…

I also think this is a benefit seeing them earlier int he year. VT has to replace David Wilson, Danny Coale, and will have an more inexperienced team this year compared to 2011. Our offense wasn’t the problem last year against VT…although in the 4th quarter our pass protection decided to take a quarter off and Tevin couldn’t find the open receiver on the blitz.

Our defense didn’t have to let them score 37 though…

@FL Jacket, don’t forget they have to replace two offensive tackles, and three out of the top four WRs, not just Coale. More new faces than experienced ones in Blacksburg. I’m convinced that while half of college football is physical, the other 99% is mental (how else can you explain us losing to UGA when we’ve got a better team and UGA losing to UF when they’ve got the better team?). IF (big word) we beat VT, I see no one on our schedule that we can’t beat; not saying we won’t lose, just that we would have to be the favorite in the ACCC. Don’t take my word for it, history has shown that the winner of the GT/VT game represents the ACCC every time!

The Mason-Dixon line isn’t really what separates North from South. That line really is the 36′30″ parallel…which separates NC from VA, TN from KY, and AR from MO.

Of course, I have boiled it down that the true delineation of North and South is a fictitious line called the “Sweet Tea line”…which isn’t a line per se, but more of a curvy snaking line. For example, I found out thru my travels that they stop serving good honest “sweet tea” north of Richmond, VA…and to the south they stop serving it here below Gainesville, FL.

Our offense has some horrible game turnover-wise and thus the bad blowouts vs. Va. Tech & UGA, but the rest of the time our defense kept us in games.

Many GT fans like to point out that Tenuta was “torched by Matt Ryan & BC”, but they won’t say that BC only scored 24 points that night; under CPJ nad his crappy choices for DC out GT defense has been giving up 24 points or MORE to guys like Jacory Harris & Joe Cox.

Surely you don’t mean this year?

As for Tenuta, his schemes worked against bad QB’s but not good ones who could recognize a blitz. I got pretty sick of all the RB dump-offs that went for 30 yards because he dropped 8 guys back…or the screen passes that went for 50 yards because he sent 7 guys on the blitz.
______________

I was talking about the 51 point blowouts during the Tenuta era to UGA & VT.

Check the NCAA defensive rankings during Tenuta’s tenure when GT player tougher schedules and the ACC was a tougher conference also.

Tenuta went up a against 1st round NFL QBs like Matt Stafford, Brady Quinn, Philip Rivers, and other future NFL QBs like Whitehurst at Clemson, imagine a CPJ team playing defense against that level of College QB.

The comparison between Tenuta and the DCs that CPJ has brought in is not even close.

What has happened is that many GT fans in an effort to show support for CPJ have denigrated Tenuta’s legacy as GT’s DC in order to make it seem as if CPJ did not make a BAD decision in not keeping Tenuta around, in their eyes since CPJ did not retain Tenuta then he must not have been a good at GT.

Not keeping Tenuta around will probably end up shortening CPJ ’s GT coaching career.

@ WnE, I wanted Tenuta gone long before Johnson was ever hired. He had all the personality of a cardboard box, and his defenses were totally unmotivated and undisciplined.

I don’t like being argumentative; I like being factual, and I think that makes you uncomfortable because much of what you say can’t be substantiated. For example, you offer no proof of your statement above. Offer some, then I’ll listen.

L.O.S.! If GT’s OL can perform well on the Line Of Scrimmage then they’ll be fine – the depth appears to be there. Just stay healthy, and the skill players protect the ball, and there will be few, if any, games the Jackets can’t win.

It’s the defensive L.O.S. that needs to step up for once. Play solid D, perform just 50% better on 3rd down D, and I think GT wins 10+ games and probably plays for the ACC title.

Not to defend UGA (because it makes me feel like I need a shower), but that series against Florida has started to become less one-sided. The Gators have won 5 out of the last 8, so it isn’t total domination anymore (although the two beatdowns in 2008 and 2009 didn’t help).

Ghost,

Nesbitt got hurt in the 2009 game too. I remember D. Thomas breaking open, wide open, behind UGA’s D only to have Nesbitt’s weak-armed backup, J. Shaw, severly underthrow a sureTD that was INT’d.

I also remember a fumble by Branden Smith that, had it bounced to J. Tarrant instead of careening directly to the sideline & out of bounds (UGA kept posession) that would’ve been a scoop & score for GT.

If GT doesn’t have 3 fumbles (one a UGA scoop & score) in 2010, GT wins. If Staff doesn’t throw pick-6 to MB, or Samuel doesn’t fumble KO (JD scored TD on 1st play after), UGA wins in 2008.

2011 game the 3rd qtr was a killer for GT … bad KO coverage. O. Charles fumble that stayed right at his feet (and recovered) with 3 GT players right there (UGA scored TD for 24-10 lead), and 2 TW ints on consecutive possessions INSIDE GT’s own 35 yd line.

UGA has way too much talent to not be beating GT by 14+ 9 of 10, or 10 of the last 11. Scary part for UGA fans is that a few TOs here or there or less TOs by GT (Reggie Ball fumble in 1 game, int on the goal line in another) and we’re looking at a 6-5 record (by either team) in the past 11 games. Don’t forget 2007 in ATL when 3 UGA fumbles (2 on punt returns) were either recovered by UGA in the endzone or knocked through the endzone with all 3 resulting in UGA ball at the 20 yd line.

UGA’s a football factory …. this game has been WAY closer that it should be. I’ll take the 14 too.

People forget that Groh was coach at UVA when they stymied Tenuta’s defense on an almost annual basis.

Unfortunately, the kids Tech signed this year probably will be red-shirted, and we may never get to see what Groh can do with them, unless the D really turns it up this year.

D Thomas was wide open, couple steps behind the UGA defender and would’ve widened the gap had a QB with a strong enough been throwing the ball.

U are unable to see that b/c U are only willing to accept the outcome of the play … an INT which appeared to be double coverage b/c …. THE PASS WAS SEVERELY UNDERTHROWN.

Shaw did the same thing in the 2008 FSU game (when he came in to spell an injured J Nes). With GT holding comfortable lead, UNDERTHROWING a wide open D Thomas who had gotten behind the D only to have noodle-arm throwing the pass …. the end result it appeared as if the DB was in good coverage, just like UGA’s in 2010.

Under the current coaching staff I can’t see how GT football will ever be a BCS contender. 1. CPJ will always blame the team for any loss. He is never out coached and never makes a mistake. 2. Our defense is always one or two players or a year or two away from being really good. Our defense can’t put pressure on the quarterback. 3. Our defense can’t tackle, particularly in the secondary. Just go back and watch the VT game again. VT running backs ran all over our secondary because our defensive front got man handled and our secondary tries to knock people down instead of wrapping them up with good tackling technique. 4. GT can’t recuit anything better than the middle of the pack players. 5. We can’t even fill up Bobby Dodd/Grant Field to support our team.

• Report this comment

Al, you complain that CPJ blames the team for losing games, and then you turn around and do the very same thing. Obviously, you are correct in laying the blame on the players on the field, so why shouldn’t CPJ do the same thing when it IS their fault for missing plays. Now if it’s a matter of him calling the wrong play or screwing up in some way himself (or one of his assistants), then perhaps he should address that more directly, but can you name me a coach in the country who has the humility to take all the blame on himself? I can’t think of any, right off hand. When a defensive player fails to make a tackle, is CPJ supposed to say, “dammit, I missed that tackle.” Of course not. Sometimes he yells at players on the sidelines if they pull a boner, but, lest you forget, SO DID O’LEARY. And, in fact, I can remember one Maryland game when O’Leary was HC that he pretty much PUBLICLY blamed the whole game on ONE Tech player. CPJ also praises a player to the hilt when he makes a big play. Tech’s recruiting is no worse, and no better, than it ever has been. Even Dodd had to struggle to get the best, and because of recruiting tactics used by Bama and a few other SEC schools, that caused him, at least in part, to pull us out of the SEC. I agree that it sucks that we don’t fill up the stadium anymore. I don’t have the answer for that, other than lousy schedules every other year. Do you have the answer for it? We didn’t fill it up consistently under Ross, Gailey, or O’Leary either.

However, let’s assume you’re right. We are constantly told (not by you) about how irrelevant we are. Should it come as a surprise then when the headlines are not about that same irrelevant team? You can’t have it both ways.

Also, if it is true it will be front page news. Those stories sell.

So I just ran another check on Lexis (which I prefer for public records to Westlaw) and again found nothing.

This doesn’t mean it isn’t true, but it would be very odd if it was true and no one anywhere had anything to prove it.

I just can’t see who benefits by besmirching a college student athlete. If it’s true, that’s one thing, but why make something like that up?

I don’t know if it’s true, SS, but my favorite was a comment saying that if we didn’t do so much cutting, then he wouldn’t have gotten hurt. Left unsaid was how that was relevant because, y’know, he plays OFFENSE!

If they don’t like the cuts, then perhaps we should also ban tacking below the waist. If blocking low is unsafe, then surely tackling low must be, too.

You know, that might be the only GT Fan Blog that would be on the AJC, Gollum’s Cave. He’s an expert on ELITE RECRUITS, boot licking toadies, kung fu pandas, and how kids who play at NC State have a better chance of making it to the NFL than kids who play at Tech.

Yes, some people have a narrative they will always maintain regardless of coaches,
programs,offenses,recruiting,etc. I think he’s already exposed. He posted his usual stuff “first” on a different blog. He was analyzing.

Why doesn’t the AJC report Tech arrests like they do UGA? Today I saw Tech ILB, Daniel Drummond plea guilty to DUI in Hall County State Court. Where’s the story? How many games will CPH suspend Drummond? We want answers!!!

Hey GTBOB, check out for us all the appearance of your starting linebacker Drummond appearing in Hall County court today on DUI charges, something that hasn’t been reported by GT or the AJC. Yes, your guys are all squeaky clean!!!

I think some yahoo saw something and ran with it…
Then some other tools jumped on it. Good for them. They found something to live for. Hope none of them end up offing themselves.
