Days could miss Tech spring game
Greetings
Some notes from post-practice interviews Wednesday.
1. Quarterback Synjyn Days may not play Friday night in the spring scrimmage. Days injured his left wrist on the final play of practice Wednesday. Days and fellow backup Vad Lee had been receiving most of the practice reps and were slated to get most of them in the scrimmage.
Coach Paul Johnson was not specific regarding how Days’ snaps will be allocated if he can’t play. It could be more for Tevin Washington or for early enrollee Dennis Andrews or walk-on transfer Tim Byerly, or all three, as well as walk-on Darryl Dickey.
“As far as the game goes, it’s not a concern as much as it is he’s made a lot of progress this spring,” Johnson said. “You’d like to see him have a chance to play.”
2. Guard Shaquille Mason may not play either with an undisclosed injury. It was hoped he would return for Wednesday’s practice, but he didn’t participate. That would leave the offensive line with 10 available bodies for Friday, including walk-ons. If someone gets hurt Friday, the likely option would be to flip-flop players from team to team.
3. Johnson on inside linebacker Jabari Hunt-Days: “I think he’s had a good camp, a good spring. I think he’s improved, I think he’s worked hard. He’s doing some good things.”
On the likelihood he’ll see playing time in the fall: “Oh, yeah, definitely. He’s going to have to. He’s going to play.”
4. Asked if any A-backs had made progress closing the gap with Robert Godhigh, who has been the top performing A-back in the spring with Orwin Smith out, Johnson said “I think Deon Hill’s done some good things.”
Johnson also mentioned Tony Zenon and B.J. Bostic but said there’s not a lot of separation.
5. Wide receiver Jeremy Moore has pushed his way into the first group, splitting reps with Jeff Greene and Chris Jackson.
“He’s probably been the most consistent, probably had the least amount of efforts and played hard,” Johnson said. “He’s made some catches. He’s done some good things, made some plays.”
Efforts are demerits for not giving full effort on a play.
“I think you’ve got Jeff and Darren (Waller) and Chris and Jeremy competing and we’ll see how it comes out,” Johnson said. “They’ve all got to learn to play harder.”
6. The most improved player on defense? Johnson said several players have improved and added that “(defensive end) Anthony Williams has caught my eye.”
7. Asked the same question, Washington said named outside linebacker Jeremiah Attaochu, inside linebacker Quayshawn Nealy, nose tackle T.J. Barnes and also the secondary.
“I think those guys are a lot hungrier this year, more physical with our receivers,” he said. “Those guys come out and just compete every day, try to make plays on the ball, put the defense in a position where they feel like nobody can come out and throw on them.”
“Jeremiah, he’s always 100 miles an hour,” Washington said. “Sometimes you want to tell him to slow down. … He’s got a high motor. He’s always going.”
Washington said Barnes’ focus and attention to detail have improved.
“As far as with the defensive line, if they’ve got a stunt on, he’s making sure he’s in the right gap, making sure he’s doing his job, just trying to take a lot of personal responsibility for what he has to do.”
8. In case you weren’t aware, the spring game is Friday at 7:45 p.m. Free to the public. Parking information here.
Thanks for reading. I’ll have another post up later this morning.
Hope you all can make it out to the spring game Friday night.

Thanks to 5150, I’m $10,000 richer …….. GT’s going 11-3 or 12-2 b/c D.Drummond will be suspended 1.5 games.
Since PJ/GT’s policy says his suspension is 10% of GT’s games, it can only be concluded that GT will in fact play 14 games since that’s the closest number of games GT can play that 10% equals 1 and a half of.
Now fix me a pot pie, 5150, before I slap-the-taste-out-of-your-mouth.

I do not care what trouble Drummond got himself into, the kid has more sense than most of you adults on here acting like morons. And yes I am a GT fan and I get tired of seeing the same shameful cr@p most of you keep writing on here. If you do not have jobs then why don’t you get out of your houses and do volunteer work or something.
And Ken, when will you talk to CPJ? You mentioned CPJ probably hasn’t talked with Giff Smith, well how do you know? Your the one there at practice, why don’t you ask him? Quotes from some of these defensive coaches do not excite or impress me. Groh was fired from UVA and McCollum was fired from MTSU and came from a losing season at NC ST.
Not one of you on here hasn’t got drunk when you were 20 yrs old. So Drummond needs to sit out his suspension and continue to play. Any some of you retired adolescents need to grow up and do something productive with your lives.
Supersize, no offense but the economy is hard. There are or will be plenty of GT people working at the fast food restaurants as well.

“Most of the team did not rush the field/leave the sidelines during the UGA v. Auburn “fight.” That isn’t true and you made it up. There were only a couple of players involved in that incident. ”
Dwagfan, you are such a tool. Press play on the following video and scroll it to about 2:04 into it, Gary Danielson (or whoever is the color guy) is clearly heard saying “Georgia needs to get its players off the field” and it wasn’t a couple…it was ALL BUT A COUPLE.

Rumor is Fat Phil can’t get a girl to have sex with him no matter how much is in his bank account.

He starts cutting the grass at 5 am and gets all the concession leftovers to feed his kids.

AM680 (local Sports Talk Radio in Atl.) just took shots at CPJ for not knowing what is going on with his FB players, and they took shots at Drummond for keeping it from the GT HC.
Chernoff said that CPJ should hit him with more than a 1.5 Game suspension for the “cover-up”, his exact words.
No, I am not Matt Chernoff.

WnE, I don’t care if it’s UGA, GT, Florida or any school it’s not a coaches fault for kids getting into trouble. Smoking pot, drinking or whatever. These players are of age to vote and join the military then they should be of age to be held accountable for there actions. It’s so stupid when people like you blame a School for players getting in trouble.
