Bohannon sees ‘arrows up’ for Lee
Some extra stuff that didn’t make the notes posted Tuesday night…
1. A few answers in full from quarterbacks and B-backs coach Brian Bohannon about backup quarterback Vad Lee:
“I think he’s working through it. I think he had probably the best day he’s had in a while today. He had a really good practice today. Other than that, I think he’s got to come out every day and try to win the job. We talked about it today and I think he came out and had a really good practice today. Last week, it wasn’t bad, it wasn’t good. It was just O.K.”
“He’s a redshirt freshman. He’s getting a lot better. He had a really good day today and I foresee him right now, he’s going to do nothing but have arrows up from here on out.”
On Justin Thomas’ progress (Thomas worked with the second team last week, with Lee working with the first string to give starter Tevin Washington a break):
“He’s still learning but he’s quick and he’s fast. He can make some plays even when things don’t go like they should. Pretty smart. Picks up on things pretty quick, so I thought it was good for him to get some work in. It’s hard to simulate just going through drills. And he still goes through all my drills. I was pleased that he could get some work in.”
2. I’m working on a story for Thursday’s paper about the offensive line and its performance thus far. The offense as a whole has produced, although the B-back numbers are again down, which is typically either a function of either the backs or the line. Offensive line coach Mike Sewak was more focused on handling defensive line stunts and blitzes. He said he has been disappointed by the line’s play when Tech has been forced into obvious passing situations.
“I thought we’d be better at it,” he said. “We have not. We have not achieved that.”
The stunts and blitzes were a focus during the bye week and also in Tuesday’s practice. Also, Sewak said that center Jay Finch has been inconsistent and that the move of Will Jackson from guard to tackle has been an upgrade.
“There’s always room for improvement, but he’s done some really good things at times, and other times, he’s done some ‘What the heck?’” Sewak said of Finch.
In case you missed it…

Doesn’t matter whether its Lee or Thomas, both need experience or the first half of the 2013 season will be dedicated to breaking in a new quarterback. if Thomas is better, then use the last 6 games to get him prepared. Trying to scratch out a couple of more wins to put a better light on terrible season, while at the expense of the 2013 season, is a waste.

Old school what have you seen that makes you know that Vad should be QB?? And know that better than a man who sees and works with him every day – and has other special coaches to confirm his readiness. Again why do you think this man would risk his job by not playing his best QB?

If Vad Lee had been the starter all year, the record would be about the same and maybe worse, simply because the offense has not lost games, but the defense sure as heck has.

I get a big laugh out of all the TW apologists.What has he done to earn these praises? We have 2 wins against Presbyterian and UVA. Both are terrible.Since the UGA game last year he usually fumbles, throws bonehead interceptions, underthrows receivers and make poor decisions that do no sustain drives when they are most needed(throughout the UGA game, in the 4th quarter with a big lead in the Utah game, in overtime in the VT game–although he made some good plays in the 4th quarter of that game, but those are negated with a Reggie Ball like play in overtime, in the Miami game with a big lead in the 3rd quarter and a chance to win in OT, in the 2nd half of the MTSU gamewhen we were tied and still had a chance if the offense performs, and in the Clemson game when we had a lead and the defense was actually causing turnovers.I know the defense has played poorly but we have had many oppurtunities on offense in the games listed above in the 4th Quarter and OT to still win if he makes plays to sustain drives.I do not know if Lee would do better, but a loss is a loss. I would venture to say that we would have beaten Presbyterian and UVA with Lee at quarterback.I do not care about TWs individual stats.Clearly if our defense was better we would have more wins, but it is not.If TW does not make plays late in games we will continue to lose. We want Lee to play more primarily because we are losing anyway with TW.A loss is a loss.The quarterback will always get more heat for his individual play at important times during the game because he runs the offense.I totally disagree with only blaming the defense for the losses.

How can any rational GT fan with any desire to win want to stick with Tevin when our season is over. It literally means nothing. All he is doing is wasting valuable snaps that Vad or Days should be getting. No way in hell I would pay money to go watch such nonsense.

Preach on GT79, @taketheWheely we have seen Tevin play way to much. That’s about all the evidence you need to know Days or Vad should be QB. Yank some kid out of the stands, either one could not play any worse.

Little Joe, Godsey, and Nesbitt were all great at carrying a bad defense and winning in spite of. Tevin is not, but Tevin is not to blame, nor is any player on the offense. Tevin and the rest of the O have kept us in every game since Nesbitt left starting with the VT game 2010.
Tevin didn’t forget how to tackle last year at UVA. Tevin didn’t drop a punt inside the 20 last year at Miami. Tevin didn’t allow three 4th quarter leads to evaporate and go to OT. Tevin does not miss critical FG’s. Tevin didn’t allow MTSU to run wild this year and basically score on every possession. Tevin didn’t allow Clemson’s punter to sit the bench all game two weeks ago. But what Tevin does do, is score points. He does it consistently week after week.
Vad is talented and Vad will get his shot, but Tech’s issue is not the offense and it’s definitely not Tevin. Last year we started 6-0 against average at best ACC and Non-Conference teams. With the exception of UGA, Tech has 5 straight against the same. Clemson as the only wash, 6-0 then 2-4 last year. This year, 2-4 then 5-1 if CPJ and this team are as good as or better than last. We’ll see!!

@north ave killer bees is as big of an idiot as GT Joe..if you ever played on a sports team you would know that the season isnt over for everyone..the seniors that give 4 to 5 years of the life to play at GT deserve the coaching staff do the bestthey can to win..if you were a true tech fan you would realize that Days is behind Vad and Thomas..
GT79MD83..you answered your own question about what TW has done..he helped us get a big lead in the 3rd quater..was it his fault that the def gave up scores on 3 of thier last 4 drives..the one drive that wasn;t a score was a missed fg..if you ask any coach that they get the ball with 7 mins left and a 7 point lead..the offense eats 5 mins of the clock and downs the punt at 10 with 2 mins left..they would take thier chances..was it TW fault that we gave up 25 yard run for a TD..tech defense got 2 turnovers ..TW fumbled 1 on 4th down and he lead team down to cut lead to 1 score but we got a fg blocked
this is to both of you idiots..if Vad was playing and the defense played as they have..Tech would still be 2-4..you both would be complaning why is CPJ playing Vad and not TW..yall are the same guys that complained when Nesbitt was completing 33% of his passes..now he is great and TW is bad..Nesbitt would have no better record with the Def that TW has..look at Nesbitt record when AG was his DC

I find it hysterical that some fans believe CPJ would intentionally not start his best QB. The EXACT blogs are taking place on the UGa sites where “know it all” fans want to bench Murray. Give it a break guys. There are reasons that we are not privy to as to why Johnson and Richt are starting certain players. Easy for us to make recommendations, but those guys have their jobs on the line and I’m certain, beyond any doubt, they have given a little thought to who the starting QB needs to be.
Uh, GT79MD83 may be...

…”a huge GT fan,also a graduate and season ticket holder.I am waiting.”, and he is also one of the dumber GT grads ever to post such drivel as he did last night – not only have most on her NOT apologized for TW, most have concurred that he may have under performed at crunch time, and that even then, he is obviously the better choice to LEAD the team than anybody else, based on what his head coach and position coach have said regarding PRACTICE time that leads up to game time appearances.

you are not smarter than CPJ or the AD just because you spend money on season tickets and go to same games. get over yourself. what do you know that they don’t? have you been to practices? have you been involved in the recruitment of any of the players? can you read minds? just shut up and let the season play out. there are 6 games left and if we go to Athens and beat the dawgs (unlikely but possible) we all will be singing a different tune.

Well screw it then, we should not get Vad any experience because by golly we’ve got 5 year seniors on the team. TN you tart, everyone know’s the defense blows! When your 2-4 and you can’t pass, score when needed or get 1 yard on 4th down you may want to give someone else a chance. Wait, that would just be idiocy.

If a coach thinks practice performance is MORE important than game performance, then he must be fired ASAP.

Yea Joe, and how much better could Iverson be if he gave 100% in practice? 40 years from now when people talk of basketball greats, noone will even remember who Allen Iverson was. Definitely not in the same class as guys who work hard in practice………Jordan, Bryant, Durant…….
The fact that you, as his biggest supporter, question Vad’s commitment to practice tells me that the kid has no heart and only cares about himself. I don’t want someone who doesn’t care about the rest of his teammates in control of the team that I love, and maybe CPJ sees that in practice as well. I hope the kid never plays a down as a starter at GT. And no, TW is not a star QB but our offense is pretty efficient. Look at the stats. He happens to account for more individual points per game than all but ONE player in all of division I football. If you put up 30 points or more against a team, you should win that game. The fact that our defense is giving up more points than our season average (which is higher than all but one team that we’ve played) tells me what our biggest problem is.

also GT Joe..where has CPJ ever said that practice performance is better than game performance..he has never said that..he says you have to prove yourself in practice but has never said that practice performance is better than game performance..AI bashed practice and his coach won an NCAA title and a NBA title..can AI say that..AI couldnt even win silver at the Olympics..maybe he should have practiced with his team more and they could have won a championship..GT Joe you are a joke..

Who cares about AI’s coach. Any coach that would bench his best player because of practice performance is a moron.
Some coaches are aholes and try to prove a point to players. It seems CPJ is like this.
Is Vad not trying 100% in practice? Maybe, I don’t know. But the fact that he had his best practice AFTER CPJ called him out earlier in the week tells me that Vad can “turn it on” whenever he wants to. And if he hasn’t been “turning it on”, he must have some motivation issues.
Why would Vad have motivation issues? I can speculate, but have no idea:
1. Sitting behind an inferior QB for now 2 years.
2. Wasting a year of his football career on a redshirt behind said inferior QB.
3. Maybe he is destroying Tevin in practice but still doesn’t start for whatever reason (attitude, practice, CPJ’s stubborness, etc.).
4. Maybe he is disillusioned with CPJ’s promises during recruiting about passing more.
I’m not in his head, but ME? I’d have motivation problems too if I were Vad.

The CPJ BLTs have deluded themselves into thinking that we’re loaded for bear in the future as we have a lot of future NFLers in our last 2 Recruiting classes.
The truth is, our young players & RS-fr look like crap other than 1 or 2 like JH-Days and maybe one other guy.

I don’t know that I really care to participate in a blog where phonies can show up one day and start out posting, at least IMHO, being personally offensive in their blog behavior to myself & others as well. And no I am not being thin skinned. Then when the moderator calls that person out on their blog behavior, all they get is toothless warnings. So maybe they do change their blog handle, but manages to do so in a still offensive manner. BFD!! If the moderator does not have the authority to ban someone, then who does. And BTW, the individual I am talking about “cussed out”, without actually “cussing”, the moderator, & said moderator seemingly ignored it. Words have meaning!

@North Ave Killer Beez and GT79MD83:
I definitely wouldnt call myself a TW apologist. For one I dont feel there is any cause for apology. There is no apology necessary when you’ve given your all and I believe he does. I personally think that his all has been sufficient to win, but other elements of the team haven’t held up as well. I’ve repeatedly acknowledged that TW has weaknesses and has made critical mistakes, as have other players. I even acknowledge that the QB position is key and therefore TW’s mistakes may cost the team a little more than some others.
But you seem to respect numbers so let me give it to you this way…for the record this is what I have said and continue to say:
1. The offense has scored enough points to win the games that we’ve lost (except MTSU which was just a bad day all around). The offense is not the most exciting to watch – but it puts points on the board. Problem is we need work on D and ST.
2. CPJ is obviously playing the QB that gives us the best chance to win and he should continue to do so. The season is not over, and no coach should give up the season mid-way through just to break in the “next guy”. That to me would be a terminable offense. Rotate them situationally when its reasonable – yes.
4. There is no guarantee that Laveadey is said “next guy”. I happen to like Thomas and LOVE Days. I have a problem with highschool stars with entitlement issues.
5. IF Lavaedeay is as good as people say he is then he should prove himself in practice and take the position – its that simple! Nobody is gonna roll over for him at this level. You dont get OJT at this level. You earn it and then work hard to maintain it – which TW has according to CPJ.
6. If TW is outplaying the others at practice – what makes you think that they will suddenly get into game situations and all of a sudden perform better than he has?
7. Lavaedeay has had game time opportunities and has not demonstrated the ability to run the TO better than TW. Thats what the rest of the team is built around. Are you suggesting the whole program build itself around this one individuals “potential”?? Really?? gamble to whole program on the “what if” of this one player?
8. Our offense has been the one thing working decently well. It ranks amongst the highest teams this year. Its no need to make unwarranted changes in that area just because you cry for it
9. If other entities of our team played up, we would be 5-1 and you people would be invisible. But since thats not the case you want TW to be nearly perfect, and thats not reasonable. He can break the school record to TD’s in a game, but if the D doesn’t hold – its an L!
10. I have a problem with GTJoes demonization of TW (and would feel the same if he picked Scully, or Golden, or Drummond etc.) They’ve all made costly mistakes, but they’re kids playing a game they love and doing there best to win for our team. No need to demoralize them.
… and “franchise” said it best…. you keyboard QBs are not smarter than CPJ and AD and you certainly dont want to win more than they do – so shut up and let the season play out!

2. CPJ is obviously playing the QB that gives us the best chance to win and he should continue to do so. @ TAKE THE WHEEL: ??? Please tell me how this is so obvious when Days or Lee have not been given a fair chance. Certainly Days has earned at least 1 shot at a full game evaluation yet he has been given Zero. Don’t tell me about fumbles either when Tevin’s leash is as long as it is.
What is a reasonable situation. Vad is in year two and Day who I happen to love as well is in year 3? If 2-4 is not reasonable nothing ever will be.
I hate having four losses all year, much less half way through the season. I have nothing against Tevin but I am sick to my stomach of watching the same QB fall short every time we need it and our coach won’t even try to do something diff…. Let Days run on 4th down since everyone in the stadium know’s its coming anyway. The QB’s decision making out weights the other players so why not platoon them and everyone in the stadium can evaluate. Very simple! What would be wrong with this?

@Killer Beez –
You do understand that as big of fans as we may be we are on the outside looking in?? The coaches (not just CPJ) see them everyday! They see all the things you and I can only speculate about. And for whatever reason, at this point they dont think the others are good enough to unseat him. Has he made some huge mistakes – yes. Has he made some huge plays to keep us in contention – yes. Neither the VT game or UM game should have gone to OT. The game was won. We needed 1 stop!
I really like Days. He’s shown himself to be incredibly committed and talented. He’s jumped right in and filled a needed spot at A-back and honestly is making a difference for us there. I applaud him for that. This could turn out to be a blessing in disguise for him and the program. Because we all know QB’s dont usually go on to greatness from our program.
I dont think anything should be based on what year the other QBs are in. I dont know what the deal is with Lavaedeay. If he is as wonderful as everyone proclaims, I wish he would friggin step up at practice, cause thats where it all starts! I would be calling for PJs head if he just handed the reigns over to any player who hasn’t earned it beyond a shadow of doubt. When he has rotated Lavaedeay in, its been a mixed bag – honestly. Not great, not terrible – but definitely not enough to overthrow.
My 2 chief complaints about CPJ is that we dont rotate QBs situationally, and we need more plays for crunch time situations. Mix it up for peets sake. I think doing these would at least give opposing D’s something to think about. But we are somewhat predictable. That puts even more pressure on TW and the rest of our offense.
I CRINGE every time on 4th & 1. TW has converted a couple but we’ve had enough fails on that play to go with something else. Give the ball to Laskey or Snoddy or SOMETHING! Heck move Uzzi and let him cram it in there! We need a couple of seldom used plays to throw in there for 4th & short. Days has the size for it but he has to hang on to the ball.
I still think that if we get our D and ST clicking we will be contenders.

@ GT TN– I will not resort to name calling. I know the defense is bad but if TW had played better in the 4th quarter of the Utah, Miami, MTSU and Clemson game we could have won in spite of the defense.Same goes for the OT losses to VT and Miami.I hope the team goes 6-0 but suspect we will finish 2-4.I care about wins. We have very few playmakers. TW made some good plays in the 4th Quarter of the VT game, but was not a factor in the 4th quarter of the other games.That is when you win games.
