Paul Johnson says Vad Lee could see expanded role
When Georgia Tech fans have called for freshman quarterback Vad Lee, coach Paul Johnson has noted that starter Tevin Washington has played well and Lee hasn’t been good in practice.
Lee had a good week of practice so he got to play more against Boston College on Saturday. He ended up playing so well that Johnson sounds as if he’s considering expanding Lee’s role.
Lee led the Jackets to touchdowns on two of his three first-half possessions and flashed the talent that made him a top recruit for Johnson in 2011. Washington, who is well-versed in Johnson’s triple-option offense, also played well during Tech’s 37-17 victory at Bobby Dodd Stadium.
Johnson said having two effective quarterbacks is “a good problem to have.”
“We will see how we go,” Johnson said after Tech’s 37-17 victory at Bobby Dodd Stadium. “Tevin is the guy and as Vad comes along, he comes along. He has a lot of ability If he continues to practice well he will get more opportunities. It’s not the end of the world to have two good quarterbacks.”
Johnson said he used two quarterbacks when he was the offensive coordinator at Hawaii. He said the strategy can allow the starter to get a breather while the second quarterback has fresh legs against a tired defense.
Washington said he “felt fine the whole game” and believes coming out of the game disrupts his flow.
“I feel like it does get you out of rhythm when you go in and out of the game,” he said. “That’s with any position. When you are in a rhythm, when you get pulled out you kind of lose that rhythm and the flow of the game.”
Lee led Hillside High School to a 16-0 record and earned the AP North Carolina player of the year in 2010. After sitting out as a red shirt in 2011, he had played in four of Tech’s six games before Saturday.
Johnson has said he wants to give Lee more playing time but, in addition to citing Lee’s poor practices, he didn’t want to put Lee in situations where there’s pressure for Tech to score. Tech led Boston College 14-3 when Lee first entered the game Saturday and he promptly led them on a 10-play, 57-yard touchdown drive.
Lee converted a short third-down run during the drive and finished it with a play that showed off his athletic talent. Facing a third-and-11, Lee weaved through the left side of BC’s defense for a 24-yard touchdown run.
Lee faked out Eagles defensive end Kieran Borcich, ran around cornerback Bryce Jones, and sidestepped tackle attempts by linebacker Tim Joy and safety C.J. Jones to get in the end zone.
“At first I was just thinking get enough for a first down to keep the drive going,” Lee said. “Then I saw it was wide open to the outside and all I had to do was beat one man. Then a bunch of people tried to come tackle me.”
Lee played two more series in the half. The second ended with a touchdown and the third was thwarted by a dropped pass and a missed field goal.
One play after a short Boston College punt, Lee lofted a soft pass to Anthony Autry along the right sideline fort a 45-yard touchdown and a 28-3 Tech lead. It was the second touchdown pass of the season for Lee, who also had an 82-yard score against Presbyterian College.
Later in the period, Lee started a drive with a 44-yard pass to Tony Zenon that set up the Jackets at Boston College’s 15-yard line. On the next play Lee passed to wide receiver Darren Waller in the front of the end zone but Waller dropped the ball.
Lee played two series in the second half and didn’t fare as well. He fumbled on first down of a three-and-out series late in the third quarter and loss three yards on a third-down run in the final period.

“Lee lofted a soft pass”
Ken, I think you meant to say Tevin lofted a soft pass (that had some wobble to it). Vad Lee’s passes are much more on a line, tight spiraled, and get to the target a whole lot quicker.

For all who keep saying Vad isn’t ready, what do you call TW? Is he suppose to be ready? Still wating on him to make a fourth and 1. @JDetect you keep pointing out Vad’s 3 and out in the 2nd half, how many 3 and outs did your boy Tevin have and VT?? When does Tevin ever produce against good teams?? I guess TW will NEVER be ready as you say. Check out our record in a weak ACC conf… other than Clemson & Fsu. Blame the D all you want and they are bad but the O & Tevin clearly lost that game. Vad is better and the more we see him play the better he keeps looking. Good recruits go to BAMA, LSU because they win man, wake up!! lol at MaconGT is there such a thing as crunch time when your 2-4 and playing BC, you guys are funny. We suck start VAD!!

@JackDetect: Those are some nice stats on TW but you left out the most important one. Tevin’s record as a starter 12-12 Here is a article written by Chuck Oliver. Boy did he hit the nail on the head, only I don’t think we will reach six win’s with Tevin.
The biggest argument for having Washington return as the starter is that he is the most experienced quarterback of the three competing for the starting job (Synjyn Days being the other.) And normally I would have to agree that experience beats out youth. But here is what experience has gotten Washington so far. Washington has an overall 9-8 record as a starter overall and 6-4 against ACC opponents which is unacceptable. Zero wins in two opportunities in bowl games and neither was against an opponent that was ranked. And he is winless against the University of Georgia and actually played better in the 2010 contest. Yes, Washington started the 2011 season 6-0 but he is also the same quarterback that led his team to a 2-5 finish once the schedule got tougher in the second half of the season. And three of those loses came against opponents the Jackets will face this September-Virginia Tech, Virginia and Miami.
All things considered, Lee and Washington appear to be at the same talent level and have equal abilities to run the offense. After watching the spring game numerous times, Lee seems to be the more polished passer and is fully capable of running the offense at the same level as the incumbent. Most “experts” peg the Yellow Jackets to finish the season at 8-4 while I have the team finishing 6-6. I believe Lee can produce those same results with the pieces and parts that surround him. The offensive line is very strong. The running backs have depth. And while the wide receivers are young, they will need the better passer, Lee, to help them progress and catch better thrown balls to be more productive.
The ceiling for Lee is much higher than that of Washington and is essentially the reason I would go with the younger player. At best and this is a stretch, Washington’s experience gives him a one game edge in win total over Lee. So does eight wins make any real fan feel better than seven for the 2012 season? Neither number puts the Jackets in the hunt for an ACC crown. Neither number gains national attention. But a seven win Vad Lee season should inspire for the future and for things to come. An eight win Tevin Washington season does nothing but makes the fans, students and alums go ho-hum for another off-season and offers no inspiration for the future. This is because of Johnson’s plan to give Lee limited playing time this season in mop up roles and insignificant situations will not gain Lee the proper experience needed for future success in 2013 and beyond.
If Lee were the starting quarterback, it would bring more energy to the position and to the offense. Lee would then gain the experience to head into the immediate future, let’s say 2013, to make a run at an ACC crown rather than Lee having his learning curve in 2013 and hoping for the best in 2014. Now is the time for youth to prevail over experience at the quarterback position in Atlanta.

re the ball control o that we run.
now if we had a good d than scoring quickly is one thing…. but when your d allows an average of 45 points a game over the last 3 in spite of our ‘ball control’ o scoring an average of about 35, it seems to me that we need even MORE ball control not less.
are you ignorant sluts
or what? up until yesterday the less our o was on the field meant that the opposing o was scoring at will…. scoring at such a prodigious pace that it put pressure on our ‘ball control’ o to score quickly to even keep up. and to compound things you want to put in an inexperienced qb that could possibly fold under the pressure of trying to score quickly. huh?
folks until we have the d problems fixed it is to our advantage to keep our d off the field as much as possible.and win with our ‘ball control o’.
btw if you didnt notice, we still sucked donut holes in the 2nd half AGAIN!

I hope this doesn’t become a QB controversy. TW and Vad each have different strengths and we should utilize both to help the team win. I am completely against the myth that you should only have one QB otherwise you get rhythm and/or leadership problems. Does a RB or WR lose his rhythm when he comes out for a few plays? The TO is very demanding on the QB position and having lots of depth is critical—the players are not droids or carbon copies—they both have strengths and weaknesses so the offensive sets and play calls need to be tweaked to maximize the skills of our personnel on the field.
We have an opportunity to use the skills of TW in running the TO and maximize Vad’s raw athletic skills to make plays in a spread formation. It presents a great challenge to opponents to prepare for different styles of attack. This can be a great positive for us, but it needs to be positioned as a positive. This is nothing against TW or Vad—let’s use their different skills to confound our opponents through the use of our myriad of offensive weapons in the personnel that we have.

NAKB hit the nail on the head. You can keep throwing those “pretty” stats out there as much as you want, but the most important stat is wins. As an aside, I’m a Steelers fan. For years, all I hear is how Big Ben doesn’t put up the good numbers, is a sub-par QB, blah blah blah. But you know what? He wins games. When it is crunch time, and the game is on the line, he wins games. Tevin doesn’t do that. Have we all forgotten about VT? He throws the ball out of bounds like he was “supposedly” trying to do, and who knows how that game eventually ends. Instead, as he does so often, he made a boneheaded mistake, forced the ball into triple coverage, and ended the game with an INT. Nesbitt didn’t always put up the prettiest stats, but he won games for this team. And let’s not forget that he had a terrible defense and special teams for a great deal of his career here at Tech as well.
I always refer to the FSU game to point out what a winning QB looks like. Seeing Nesbitt rip that ball out of the defenders hand, never giving up on the play. He made a mistake, and then did everything he could to atone for it. I don’t ever see Tevin taking responsibility for the mistakes he makes, like a true leader would. As my knowledge goes, if you remember the OT WF game in 2009, CPJ was ready to kick the field goal in overtime, when Nesbitt went to the coach, and told him point blank: “I can make this play.” That is the attitude of a winner. That is what I want in a QB again, and TW doesn’t deliver that.
I appreciate everything he’s done for the university, but it’s time to plan for a greater, brighter future for the program by getting Vad Lee ready right NOW.

Has Lee ever actually ran an option play during a game?
I know he drops back to pass, runs a called pitch or a called run, or most of the time improvises a QB sneak/broken play.
Sure if you hate the option, I think Lee is your guy. But I get a strong feeling that he has no shown CPJ that he understands the option.

And just mentioning passing, it is so, so clear that Vad Lee is a much better passer already. It was apparent to me at the game, but I was honestly curious as to how it looked on screen and went back and watched the game again last night. My goodness the difference is beyond clear. Every pass Vad threw had a tight, crisp spiral. Even on passes he missed, you could see how much arm strength the guy had. Off his back foot he was blazing the ball 30, 40 yards down the field with ease. And the TD pass was a beauty. Then I watched all of Tevin’s passes. Wobbly, off target, and just generally ugly passes. Those third and long passes we converted were more due to great catches by our backs than anything Tevin did . . .

SansWorld, the reason he got more playing time yesterday was because he supposedly had two great weeks of practice. So I get the feeling he is adjusting fine to the offense.

GTPhenom,
But did he actually run a triple option play? I know Lee has a lot to offer, but I am not sure running the option better that TW is one of them.
Really CPJ did not call many option plays when TW was first starting. It does take some time to learn to run it effectivly.
I know that many don’t like the option at all. Thats fine, If so I think Lee is your man.
I don’t think that as long as CPJ is coach, we will succed without being able t run the option effectivly.

I’m pretty sure I saw him run it a few times. Still basic, but he’s also still a redshirt freshman. Tevin Washington still makes boneheaded mistakes with the option, and he’s been in this offense for five years. I’m not worried about Vad Lee with the option yet, he’s still got a lot of time to adjust.

you point to wins as a criteria? how many games has vad won? i promise that if cpj put vad in and we lost you would be at the head of the line whining about not putting tw back in.
this same crap has been going on now for … forever. the most popular player on a mediocre team is ‘always’ the back up qb and the most knowledgeable fans are always ‘fans’ of that backup qb.
we pay cpj a couplea bucks to coach. until YOU show me you know more than cpj ill trust his judgment. after all, using YOUR very own criteria for performance. cpj has won 2 national championships… made navy a very competitive team when he was there…. won an acc championship… coaches one of the top 3 rushing teams in the country year in and year out. never mind that our problem is our DEFENSE not our offense.
YOU on the other hand ….. your only claim to fame? your a fan of that back up qb. meh.

Actually I don’t even think we have run much true Triple option since Josh Nesbitt was here.
I am not sure that even TW has run many plays with where there was a real option to/or to-not had off to the B Back. When the B back gets the ball now, I think it is always a called play.

Bothered much by my opinion? I’m one of the lead proponents who has believe that this season was over as soon as we lost the Miami game oh brilliant one. Seeings as I believe we are going to lose games even with TW at the helm, why exactly would I jump on Vad if he lost a few?
See, here’s the difference that you are clearly missing. Tevin has been in this program for five years. He’s a redshirt senior who has no excuses for the the mistakes he continually makes in this offense. Vad Lee is a redshirt freshman currently in the middle of his second year with the program. If he starts as a redshirt freshman, then why in the hell would I be worried if he struggled a bit?
Next, where in the hell did I complain about CPJ? I’m one of the few sane fans still saying he is exactly what we need for this team to one day be at a high level once more.
My only comment was that I felt that Vad Lee needs more experience and play time so that next season, when we return NINETEEN starters, we can potentially have a great year and put the bad memories of this season behind us. Nowhere in my comments have I clamored to only start Lee and/or questioned what CPJ is doing with this program. So next time you decide to take offense to my OPINION, which I guess I need to make clear from now on, at least make sure you have half a damn clue as to what you are talking about. Have a good night.

It looks like Tevin takes a little nap at half time and comes back on the field in the second half like he’s still sleepy. Just check GA Tech’s stat’s the 2nd half of games Washington has been the starting QB. And he’s there whining about having his “timing” thrown off? He’s rarely completed 50% of his passes, so I’m not sure what that timing issue might be. When he does pass, they usually come off his hands like a wounded duck anyway, so I’m not sure how timing really helps the Jacket receivers even if he had all day (Bostic made an unbelievable catch on a horrible pass when Washington had been in before any substitutions). Perhaps Tevin needs some cheese to go with that whine.

Vad, Tevin, Namath, Ryan, Tbow, whoever, won’t make much difference until we learn to play defense, special teams (especially the kicking game) and the fans acceptance of a program going downhill are changed. No matter how much we love GA Tech, the reality is, this program is really really pathetic with nothing to base optimism on. Yes, I remember Bud Carson and Bill Lewis but they weren’t making $2.6 million per year. This program is much worse than when CPJ took over 5 years ago. Recruiting is really in the tank. Duke, under Cutcliffe, has shown much more improvement than Tech. The program is so bad, it is becoming hilarious.

“He’s rarely completed 50% of his passes”
Washington has had one game this year where he compelted less that 50% of his passes. +60% on the year. He is on track to be the first Starting QB at GT to pass for over 50% since Reggie Ball’s first year.
That said, his passes Saturday were not pretty, Otherwise I think his passing looks much better this year.

I thought so too. I’m curious no name troll how many football games you’ve been too so far this season. Cause I’ve been at every single home game over the past two seasons since becoming a student, and also went to the Clemson game this year, and have plans to make the UNC game later this year. How many have you been too? Grew up a GT fan, and regardless of record I will support this team through the thick and the thin. (Oh, and if you particularly care, I can prove being at the games in any way you so please).
Where exactly did I say anything about bandwagon or any kind of being off anything for that matter? All I stated was that after the Miami game, when it became clear to me that we were more than likely out of the race for the ACCCG, that we should start preparing for next year and give our QB of the future more time in games. That is the only comment I have made. I never said anything about not being a fan.
The more and more I read from you, the more and more I wonder about both your reading comprehension skills, and I’m starting to wonder if you are in some way personally related to TW. With the way you are defending him I’m not so sure. Note that we had no problems discussing things until you showed up.

Listening to Vad in the post game interview, his IQ is easily 40 points higher than Tevin. Vad sounds like a pro, says all the right things and has a great attitude.
Maybe he’ll be “ready” to start in a few years. Wouldn’t want to “damage” him for life by starting him too early. They are so so fragile, they’ve only been playing for 12 years. (sarcasm).

I’m guessing most people on this blog go to the games. Unfortunately, I watch them 400 miles away on my couch. Having said all that, I beleive TW runs the TO very good, but he makes selfish mistakes because he doesn’t trust his teammates. With that rushing touchdown, Sims said the opening is up the middle TW, I’m taking the ball!

Joe, Why do you insult me? The only thing I recall saying to you that you could construe as being insulting was you were tiresome with your multiple daily rants about how bad Tevin is. and to give “us”a rest. I have said I wanted to see, and was delighted to see, Vad Lee in the game and playing up to what we all hoped he would be. He was very good in the 1st half & somewhat less so in the 2nd half. I’m sure you noticed this too. He is not fully ready yet, but I expect to see him “earn” (you are familiar with the word and it’s definition I’m sure [oops, there I go being sarcastic/insulting, sorry] the starting QB’s job. I believe CPJ will give him more playing time as the season progresses, and may even “earn” (oops, there’s that annoying word again) the starting QB’s job before the season is over. I would be delighted if that is the case, but would have some sympathy for Tevin, unlike you. I will be satisfied either way. As the Head Coach, it rests in CPJ’s hands, and I trust him to make the right decision for the team’s best interests. You can rest assured, CPJ knows what is at stake if he does not begin to turn the program around to a higher level that it is at now. BTW, everyone here knew you would be “gloating” over Vad’s plays, but your boy also made some “bonehead” (your word) plays. How about the good luck he had on a 1st down fumble deep in our side of the field that bounced ahead & was recovered by an Olineman for positive yards (6?). I’m rather surprised you waited a full day before you got cranked up. Vad will get his chance when the coaches think he deserves it & not before.

1 4: did i insult you? how/when? I think I sarcastically called you and some other folks a genius, is that the “insult” you are talking about?
Anyways, I missed Vad’s bonehead plays; did he throw a pick? did he lose a fumble? did he cost us the game? did he turn the ball over on downs? Let me help you: Vad has no turnovers in his career at Tech.
I think it should be abundantly clear today that Vad is “ready”; I thought it was clear after the presby game. If you still think he is not ready, after leading us to TDs on his first 2 drives, missed FG on a 3rd, I can’t help you.
2nd half was not great. one 3 and out (Tevin NEVER does that, huh?) and a 6 and out (that apparently had backups on the OL, according to another blogger, I’ll have to verify, but obviously the playbook wasn’t open with a 20 point lead and less than 4 minutes to play).

That was an awful second half by Tech that almost got BC back in the game and would have if not for them roughing the kicker. CPJ’s play calling was less than imaginary and the defense reverted back to its full of holes personality. There has to be some major improvement in both areas or Tech will easily loose the last five games.

“Then Tevin came in ended all debate on who should be the starting QB.” In no way is this a true statement. I will without a doubt agree that there are some things TW does better than Vad and some things Vad does better than TW. I do not agree that TW is a better “crunch time” qb. Can TW complete passes – yes some but with minimal opportunity for the receivers to advance. You had to see the difference on Sat for when a receiver was led vs having to come back to the ball. Will Vad miss some reads on the TO, sure; but then again so does TW. Do I want TW benched, no; but it should be closer to 50/50 now and if TW can’t handle this “lack of rhythm” then that is a problem he needs to figure out. I like TW and believe he is a good young man, but we don’t owe him anything.

I was at the game. For those who watch objectively and do not try to make a case for either. It is clear that more mistakes were made by TW in this game. He caused two fumbles, almost threw two interceptions and missed a wide open touch down. Lee fumbled once and that is it. Also the TD run Lee made TW could not make in his wildest dreams. Lee is clearly a better athlete. He is bigger, faster and has a much, much better arm. The only issue is experience and how much of the play book he has ready to run. TW has him beat there. I agree with starting Lee and teaching him more and more of the expanded play book. TW can come in when and if Lee has problems. This does setup for a great future for Tech.

thank you very much for proving my point! have a nice day!

For now, i think that Tevin Washington should still start. But i wouldn’t mind seing Vad get more plays. Tevin scores ALL of our TDs and has done a nice job thus far, but defense has let him down. There is no doubt that eventually Vad Lee will become the starting QB next year, but he is not ready yet. Tevin has made very good reads on the option and has done a nice job running the ball. I think Vad has to learn how to fully run the offense.
come on

TW fumbled 3 times in the game and throws like a girl. so vad fumbled once and that is the reason i have read as to why he is not ready. well nobody has thrown the ball like him at tech since the goose.
