Bradley’s Buzz: McShay rates Tech’s Morgan No. 3 overall
Two Augusts ago I was watching Georgia Tech practice and commenting on the impressive nature of the defensive line. Michael Johnson, Vance Walker, Darryl Richard …
A man who works for Tech said to me: “Derrick Morgan is the best of the bunch.”
I started watching Morgan closely from that moment on. (I am, as we know, a moron, but I can be coached up.) And by the middle of the 2008 season I agreed: Derrick Morgan stood out the most along a D-line that would see its other three members drafted by NFL teams.
Which brings us to 2009, when Morgan was named ACC defensive player of the year, and almost to 2010, when Todd McShay of ESPN.com’s Insiders foresees the same Mr. Morgan going No. 3 overall in the NFL draft. (Link requires registration.)
Not third among defensive linemen, mind you. Third among everybody.
The top five: Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska; Eric Berry, S, Tennessee; Morgan; Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma, and Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State. That’s four defenders up top, and three of the top five from the Big 12. Who said the SEC owns college football?
McShay’s take on Morgan: “[He] can anchor at the point of attack, make plays in pursuit, get to the quarterback coming off the edge and drop into coverage. That type of versatility would be a nice addition to a Browns defensive front seven that lacks difference-makers.”
Yes, for his good work Derrick Morgan might end up in Cleveland. But that’s what happens when you’re really gifted. Tech’s Calvin Johnson went No. 2 overall in 2007 and landed in Detroit, and Georgia’s Matthew Stafford joined him two years later. Still, I hear those guys do get paid.
But back to Morgan: He was nowhere in anyone’s first round when the season began — nowhere in anyone’s first round I saw, anyway — and only last month did he climb into the top 20. Now he’s No. 3, at least according to McShay, which means Morgan has caught and passed big-name Florida defenders Carlos Dunlap (No. 6 on McShay’s board) and Brandon Spikes (No. 19) and even Tech mate Jonathan Dwyer (No. 29; McShay has him going to San Diego).
As for the Falcons, who could stand to land a Suh or a Berry or a Morgan or even a Dunlap … McShay has them taking a defender, all right. He’s Navorro Bowman, an outside backer from Penn State. (Hey, wasn’t Jack Ham an outside backer from Penn State? And did I ever tell you Jack Ham is my favorite NFL player ever?)
McShay’s rationale regarding the Falcons: “The Falcons need an impact player at cornerback, but the next-best corner [after Florida's Joe Haden], Florida State’s Patrick Robinson, is not worth taking this early. Bowman has some off-the-field baggage, but he might be the best all-around athlete at linebacker in this class.”
Off-the-field baggage? Bowman was suspended back in 2007 and into 2008 for an altercation at the student union, for which he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor disorderly conduct. And he also, according to Adam Rittenberg of ESPN.com, admitted smoking marijuana this year and saw his probation extended into 2010. Sound like a Falcon to you? (Wait, wait. Don’t all answer at once.)
But back to Morgan one last time: He’s a tremendous player and a splendid fellow who bears more than a passing resemblance to Will Smith. And if you thought Tech’s D was awful this season, imagine how it might be without him next year. (Wait, wait. Don’t all shudder at once.)

Wow. LB? The position we need the least on the defense. I mean Peterson is old, but this just further reiterates the point that mock drafts are silly. Especially since they change 50 times.
He nailed Morgan. Great player. Hopefully he lands somewhere he can make an impact.

I’m sure he’ll be a solid pro, but I’m not sold on him yet. I mean, who did Tech play? What tackles did he have his best games against? The only Tech game I really played attention to was the UGA game, and he didn’t do anything of note in it. Ask any Dawg fan, and they’ll tell you our Oline was bad this year but they looked like All Pros against the Tech front. That doesn’t say much about Morgan in my opinion.

It’s funny when morons who nothing about the college game, like most of these posters, make their comments and show their ignorance, and the professionals who watch virtually every college player out there, and every down they play, of every game they play, make their determination, and the comments start flowing.
If someone had been watching Derrick play this season (regularly), they would have seen that he was often-time double, and even triple teamed, yet, in spite of these odds, he was till one of the top defenders in the nation in sacks and tackles for loss.
Couple this with the fact that virtually every play was run against his side of the field, including running plays, and yet you still see Derrick all over the field, making tackles, never giving up on plays, and that, my friends, is why you have someone who is being touted as a player the scouts are high on.
So, all of you who make these snide comments, I say to you, go for it. Derrick will be laughing all the way to the bank while you’ll be sitting behind the fast food counters and mopping floors in rest rooms.

If Rolando McClain is available when the Falcons pick and they don’t take him they’ve got rocks in their heads. Not only a great player but a leader. Kevin Steele, now DC of Clemson, said the only other linebacker he’s coached who picks up football concepts like McClain was Sam Mills of the Saints, who went to a few Pro Bowls.

If we land in the top half of the draft and take a LB, he’d better be named Rolando McClain. That man is going to be Patrick Willis reincarnated. I could see a 3-4 defense with Lofton and McClain up the gut with Abe/Nicholas/Bierman/Sidbury in the mix at OLB. Babineaux (assuming he stays) and Jamaal are almost prototypical 3-4 DE, plus Jerry is in the mix. All you need then is a big ‘un at nose guard (Walker? Cody? someone else?) and you have a potential pass rush machine.
Plus, Ro is fast enough to play outside in a 4-3.

Just a note on the Tech allottment of tickets for the Orange Bowl and why nobody is buying those tickets. You can’t select the tickets you want if you are buying them through Ramblinwreck.com. Just like last year for the Chick fil A bowl, it is a random draw on where the seats are. And the sections assigned for GT are pretty bad to begin with. My friends and I are going to the game but we will be purchasing off Craigslist or through other sources so that we know where our seats are!! I’d rather spend more a little more and know I’m getting good seats. The random selection stuff through GT is BS.

Even people like McShay play the stupid card every once in a while. Most of the mock drafts give the individual’s favorite team the players they need, and award teams like the Falcons with players they don’t need. This is why ESPN thinks that golf is a sport, and goes all girly over Tiger’s dilemma. If he was an athlete, then it would be a story, but he is not.

I thought our defense was going to be ok when the season started. I hope we fill the void on defense next year with Thomas and Dwyer more than likely leaving for the draft. I don’t think we will come close to our offense success of this year. I may be wrong, but I am just saying. Maybe the birds can shop Redman to move up in the draft. He would look excellent in a Lions uniform. Lord knows Detroit really stretched it when the drafted Baby Face from over yonder.

Sure Benjamin, no dawg fan wouldn’t trade bowls with Tech this year. But would you trade history? Would you trade the last decade? Tech had a good season and gets to enjoy the rewards. But much like last season, the better season didn’t equal a victory Thanksgiving weekend. So this year dawg fans at least get to enjoy that reward.

I still don’t get all of the nerds making fun of the bowl game UGA is going to. Is it a terrible bowl? Absolutely. Are the nerds and their 5,000 fans going to a better bowl? Absolutely. If you want to compare bowls, look at every bowl, and the results, from 2002 – January 2009. Where is your arguement? You people have nothing especially when Tech is 1-8 against UGA recently, has lost to UGA 60 times overall, and have lost 4 bowl games in a row. We know you are all jealous but at least have a decent arguement losers. Next year, when UGA goes to a better bowl then Tech are you going to be on here comparing the bowls?

Clint – you are an idiot. UGA had a great plan – it’s called – run the heck away from Morgan’s side – that is why he was not in on tackles. They passed like 6 times so you did not see a pass rush. Derrick Morgan is a great DE. Take off your UGA blinders and realize that. Morgan single handedly saved both Clemson games with key sacks through double teams, as well as the Wake game when he pushed Wake out of FG range with a sack. He will be a great pro. Give us some better insight than that crap.

I do not see Morgan going in the top 15 players. He is good, very good,
but there are other players that would project as better fits for the team drafting. If he is there at 15 to 18 I can see the Falcons taking him. They have NO pass rush.

Did Morgan play against the Dawgs?
UGA ran the ball up the middle or over the left side most of the day – that would be the side away from Morgan.
One of the times they ran his side, he did force Caleb King to fumble – recovered by GT.
Bobo had an excellent game plan – double team Morgan and run the ball away from him.

So, if someone acts like an adult, I would be more than happy to assume they would be working in an adult job, like an accountant, police officer, attorney, physician, or even a coach perhaps.

“That game meant everything to Tech”. BS, my friend. BS. Or should I say “BCS”? As in “What type of bowl game will GT play in that UGA will not?” It was an important game, no doubt. It always will be. However, unlike Jawja, we had other things to play for. A conference title, a BCS birth. If it was such a crushing defeat how did those woeful little “nerds” turn around and win the ACC title game the following week? And, seriously, if all the future felons on your roster hadn’t intentionally injured our QB to push him onto the sidelines for a few series you would have lost that game. You know you would. As it is you barely hung on to survive it. Congrats on the win…too bad you couldn’t play like men instead of animals. But, then, considering most of your players major in Animal Husbandry….who would expect anything less, eh?

I am aware that UNC has the top-ranked defense in the ACC, and 5th or 6th in the country, depending on which defensive category we are talking about. That said, just how good are the individuals that comprise that defense and are they future pro prospects. I read that Marvin Austin, a Jr. is the 3d-ranked defensive tackle. Who are the other defensive players on that team that might be pro prospects? Anybody have any opinions here? I know that I could research this issue, but I thought some of the bloggers here might have info or opinions.

Been thinking. It might be a good move if UGa joined the ACC and Miami joined the SEC. UGa wants to improve its academic reputation, and its association with the ACC would certainly do that. UGa has potential given the fact that there is “gray matter” in Atlanta that would be more likely to go to UGa if they were in the ACC. Those that could qualify currently eschew UGa in favor of UNC or UVa. Joining the ACC would not hurt UGa football at all, and it would help ACC football. It would also help UGa basketball. The BB program needs all the help it can get.
As far as Miami goes, I believe fan interest would escalate if Miami were in the SEC.
What u think?

BTW dumbazz…Miami and FSU were sent formal letters of invitation to join the SEC in 1990…both declined….Bobby Bowden was quoted when asked why he wanted to be in ACC vs SEC…he replied it would give them a much better chance of competing for national championships!

Who said The SEC owns football ?
Everyone.
This guy you gush over surely didn’t stop any running back from UGA on any play at any point in the game, not once.
He looks great against the NCAA Official Strength of Schedule Number 51, including six (6) games Mark Bradley Georgia Tech played against teams NOT EVEN IN A BOWL GAME, sir.
There will be more Defensive Linemen from UGA in the NFL Draft than from Georgia Tech.
There always are.
The SEC has LED THE NATION in NFL Draft Selections this year, last year, and the year before that.
Since 1990, The SEC has had 739 NFL Draft Selections, far and away the greatest of any Conference.
How quickly you try to forget Mark Bradley that UGA had the Number 1 Selection in the NFL Draft this year and that we had the Number 12 Selection as well.
2 First Round NFL Draft Selections from UGA this year.
1 Second Round NFL Draft Selection from UGA this year.
2 Third Round NFL Draft Selections from UGA this year.
Why does UGA have 37 in the NFL and Georgia Tech 17 ?
Who says The SEC owns college football, Mark Bradley ?
The NFL says The SEC owns college football, Mark Bradley.
3 consecutive National Champions.
Did anyone see the TV ratings for the ACC CHUMPionship game ? Horrible and now Sporting News says that the Orange Bowl is the Number 23 best bowl game. Top 10 ? UGA comes in at number 9 best bowl.
Let’s get back to the crime on Tech’s campus, something you should know something about Mark Bradley. Football obviously isn’t your area of expertise, sir.

These school yard antics lead me to believe these children should be looking for minimum wage work after school, like at a movie theater, or fast food restaurant. None of them are acting like adults and such, I don’t feel inclined to suggest they have the capability of holding down responsible, high paying, jobs.

Dwyer will be a great fit in San Diego. He fits that team like a glove.

Roger Daltry, that’s because when you can blow a line up between the tackles like UGA did Tech’s, DEs like Morgan are virtually taken out of the game. Morgan’s forte is outside pressure using his speed or an inside stunt into the backfield. Run straight up the pipe and you take away what he does best. You show Morgan too many shotgun formations and he will destroy you because of his speed and quickness off the ball. UGA’s I formation and straight ahead running took him out of the game and when they went play action he was very tentative because by then his first look was for the inside run. Derrick Morgan is most effective when he can pin his ears back and go.

I’m a season ticket holder that did not request bowl tickets before the deadline as our Bowl game was very much up in the air at that point. But again, part of the reason was that I would be thrown in some random lottery and where I end up sitting is anybody’s guess. Can somebody please elaborate on why everything is done randomly? I’m not going to buy tickets to any sporting event without knowing where my seats are!! And I doubt I’m the only one that thinks that way
You guys can come up with every excuse in the book to avoid actually supporting your team with your butts in a seat. When Gailey was there it was “when we win we’ll go to the games”. Well, by God now you’re winning and you still won’t buy a ticket. Just more EXCUSES out of you world class EXCUSE makers. You guys should walk around wearing T shirts that say “I’m at the Game, Just Disguised as an Empty Seat”. You guys are the most pitiful fanbase in football when it comes to showing a coach and a team real support. Why do you think you can’t keep a damn coach morons.

3-stars turn to 1st rounders, not bad for Morgan and Dwyer. Georgia high schoolers should know: does not matter what offense a college team runs, if you are good and dedicated, Tech coaches will coach you up and you will be like Morgan and Dwyer. That’s like turning silver to gold.
Look at those 5-stars who went to UGA the year Morgan and Dwyer joined Tech. Where are they now? Gold turning to copper?

GT Alum, this is the biggest game your team has been in for over 40 years. What the hell difference does it matter where your seat is? It’s the whole experience dumbazz. The camraderie with other fans, the tailgating, the excitement, the whole game experience, being there. Last but not least it’s showing your support for your team! That’s obviously something only true GT fans comprehend. You’re a crap fan GT Alum. Take your fat azz to the game and stuff it in a seat. What does a GT recruit think when he looks into the stands and sees the stadium 1/4 full for the biggest game in 40 years. Guys like you GT Alum are enemies of your program. Otherwise just keep on braying to the world about seat location. True fans see right through you.

Mark Bradley, if GT fans embarrass themselves by being empty seats at the biggest game in 40 years after all the big talk, I challenge you to ask PJ his opinion of such poor support. I bet he’ll tell you.
George O’Leary put a winning product on the field. He convinced the Tech AD to invest in better facilities and stadium expansion. What did he get for his effort? Empty seats. GT is the only team in the history of major college football to take seats out of a stadium. And what did that get them? O’Leary hit the road on the first thing smokin out of town. GT fan support is a debacle. No matter what happens on the field they still won’t fill a moderate sized stadium. Think PJ won’t take notice at some point?

Lake Oconee Dawg…. Good grief, you won the game, get over it…… Please lay off the all caps… Why would we not include all our NC, everybody else does, and UGA certainly would! You UGA people are just too much! CPJ is going to recruit and again, we WILL be competitive, NO LONGER will UGA DOMINATE! The game, like this years will be a toss up!
I’m blown away by the amount of people that underestimate Morgan….. I think he is better than MJ and will prove it on the next level. I think Dwyer and the rest stay, because of the lack of respect they get from playing in the ACC and for GT….

I think we should all be hoping both Georgia teams are in the top 10 next year. I am a Georgia Tech fan, however i am a georgia resident. I hope both bowl games are sale outs. The kids that put all the work in deserve that much from their fans.

On ESPN last night…. a commercial with Mark R. begging for ugay fans to buy bowl tickets – funniest thing EVER!
NOW you idiot ugay fans understand…. maybe not. I’m sure that I error and assume you have at least an average IQ.
What large group of fans of any school would pay to travel to a minor bowl in no where USA? Evidently, not even ugay fans are THAT dumb!

Gt4ever, if Dwyer projects 1st round he’s gone. He gains nothing by staying. The risk is too great and the reward too small.

GTclassof05, He needs to beat UGA on a consistent basis. We should have beat them this year, but we didn’t…. CPJ understands or he should, the seats will fill up when you beat your in state rival! Period! We play in a second rate conference and we still have not arrived talent wise, especially on the DEFENSIVE side of the ball. The fact that CPJ has been looking at the defense for the last several weeks and nothing has gotten better is disheartening! If it’s the coach, then we need to make a change. I tend to believe that we are limited talent wise, but that’s just my opinion! Yours will probably be different.
Yes, we are doing well overall, the ranking has us WAY overrated, but again, that’s my opinion. We have fortunately been matched by another overrated team in the OB. If we find a way to lose or embarrass ourselves again, we will still be trying to sell out a mid size stadium. I am a DEVOUT GT fan, and have been for longer than most on this blog. I am NOT a HOMER fan who doesn’t expect accountability from our coaches and TEAM! We play a SOFT schedule in what is arguably the WORST conference in college football. When we recruit and play to the level that we are capable, beating all the 6 and 5 teams on our schedule then we will fill our stadium. I will be there WIN or LOSE!

Dwyer is a BEAST. Just my opinion, but I think Dwyer drops out of the first round because of issues that are out of his control….. Your 100 percent right, 1st rounders don’t need a degree… lol.

You can always get your degree Gt4ever. The doors to the classroom or gates to the campus don’t close behind you when you leave. And thinking rationally, how many times in ones life does someone hand you millions of dollars with a high percentage of it upfront in your first job. Do the math. Compare 30 years, and I’m being generous here, of $100,000.00 per year and who comes out ahead. The 1st rounder that gets that figure either upfront or over let’s say 5 or 6 years or the guy that has to long haul it. The degree is there if the kid wants it. He stays in school and gets injured or has a bad year and guess what? He’s long haulin it just like the rest of us and probably at less than 6 figures a year. My NFL money gave me a leg up. Got my degree too just like Dwyer can. And the money Dwyer can get makes what I got look like pocket change. Going out early for 1st round bucks is a no brainer. Dwyer is a smart kid. He knows the degree is there for the taking anytime he wants it. The money might not be. It’s easy for a fan that wants a kid to come back for his own selfish reasons to bring the degree argument. But I would ask that fan what he would do faced with 1st round millions. Take the money and come back for the degree. Or risk it all by coming back. Dwyer can have both by leaving. Staying could get him just one of the two if God forbid he suffered a catastrophic injury. What would you do, Gt4ever?

Do you know who am I?
Here is a hot news:
The Dallas Cowboys dumped one kicker and signed a new one Monday, and in a fitting sign of the times, the winner was the kicker who lost his job with another team two weeks ago after missing a 23-yard field-goal attempt. Still, Shaun Suisham is viewed as an improvement over Nick Folk, the incumbent who missed seven of his last 11 attempts to help imperil the Cowboys’ playoff hopes and contributed to a surprisingly sagging NFL Draft industry: field-goal kicking.
Merry Christmas!And have a good time!
