I miss A-Backs

[ciegetanks]

I've been watching some old highlights and I am seeing a lot of good players I really enjoyed watching play A-Back.

Guys like:
Anthony Allen
Roddy Jones
Orwen Smith
Clinton Lynch
Qua Searcy
Robby Godhigh

And although he was a qb, I do miss seeing Jacob Eason throw to our guys.

I miss Joe Ham and Fridge.

Flexbone was the best, most-diverse offense I've ever seen.

I miss John Dewberry kicking UGAgs ass after they let him get away.

I miss a feared defense. I was really hoping we would get at least that during CGC’s tenure.

Charlie Perkins
Deon Hill

Couple more exciting skill guys I enjoyed watching.

One of the aspects I liked about the ol' flexbone is that it guaranteed wide ball distribution.

Landry knocking O'Brien out of the Maryland game.....great memory. Running an option keeper type play with Landry on the field and a pocket passer in at QB? Boom.....

Megatron leaving fools in the dust.

There was a play in 2006 when I was in the South Endzone student section against UVA where he caught a pass at the 20 with two DB's hot on his tail and a safety in front of him.
All three defenders crashed on him as fast as they could but Megatron just casually walked three steps into the end zone untouched.

It looked like they were all moving at hyper speed and Johnson was moving in slow-motion yet he went untouched into the end zone.

It was surreal, still not sure if it was him or the quart of Evan in my gut.

Plus he was wearing the best uniform in history

Anthony Allen was a B-Back, but to your point, I miss those players as well.

If I recall, he played A-back some when Dwyer was still here in 2009.

I miss having players that made all-conference teams.

Allen played A-Back in 09

I’m a Georgia Tech fanboy. Joe Ham’s crew and Calvin gave us a lot of incredible plays, but I’ve never had more fun watching football than when PJ’s stuff was clicking and we were rewriting the offensive record books for Tech. The fact that it was happening because of a “we’re smarter than you” scheme and playcalling (before people caught up with it) just made it all the more fun for a Tech nerd to watch.

I was sitting in the end zone of Sanford Stadium and had a perfect view of the Red Sea parting and Godsey covering 30 yards in 80 seconds for a TD. :-)
