obviously none of you have actually repped in a 7 on 7 and don't realize how much BS it is. You could lose to anyone. Its a coverage read game and not a true competition. Most of it ends up being 1 on 1, you have no QB pressure, there is no requirement to get the ball out quick or throw it away, so once coverage breaks it becomes 1 on 1. Without a coach monitoring it, which they can't right now, its totally pointless to worry about who wins or loses. What you want to get from it is QB/WR timing, proper breaks/coverage reads and that is about all its worth.

on the D its all about backend communication and alignment.

Oh, I get it, but still not encouraged that with no pressure on the QB, and WRs one on one with DBs we scored less than GS. But, they've probably done a dozen or more of these and one loss isn't the end of the world and is to be expected. I was mostly responding to the post that it is no surprise because we are a rushing offense.

Does he wanna be our Tim Tebow?

And yes, he did say we lost to GA State once :facepalm:

No, he's aiming to be our NEXT Billy Teas!:laugh:
 
Always pleased to hear one of our guys come across with such a great attitude. Best of luck to him and proud that he is a Yellow Jacket.

It sounded to me like we had played the Atlanta schools more than once and only lost to Georgia State once. I would not expect us to be very good in 7 on 7.

Beat me to it. I knew when he said that in the interview that people would overreact about it.
 
Watching this gets me pumped for Synjin to get some reps this year. Great athlete with a good head on his shoulders.
This video did get me thinking about Jabari though. Who were other good Tech fb family tandems? I've been watching closely since the mid-90's so I can only think of a few:
Nick Rogers and Philip "The Black Hammer" Rogers-brothers
Joe Hamilton and Harvey Middleton- cousins
Randy and Kelly Rhino- father/son
Anyone else from you older guys?

Orwin Smith -- went on to say that Vad can pass but doesn't know yet how well he'll run the option. Also cautioned against pumping-up the true freshman too much (based on his own experience).

Agree 100% with Orwin.

I'm not an old timer but I know three generations of Rhinos have played, Randy's father, Chappell, and Randy's brother Danny also played at Tech iirc.
