If he is ….late round pick PS at best. Don’t see that as much of a recruiting tool

We do this EVERY season. Juanyah is going to crush the combine and i suspect Riq will do the same at pro day.

Skill has never been their issue. It’s been all mental

So a player going to the NFL is a negative? Boy this place is ridiculous

You’d think of all people you’d be the one on here to recognize we had Juanyeh playing out of position. To make matters worse, we had severe need at LB. We used to coach players up at GT way above their talent level. It’s part of our heritage and culture- smart underdogs, undersized players performing at levels higher than their talented opponents. Now we got highly recruited elite players underperforming, wrong positions, poorly coached & we’re all supposed to cheer because we notch 3 wins and have a Top 50 recruiting class so we’re BIG TIME.

And of all people, you like what we’re doing. You think we’re doing great things for these guys. Every day it seems some other nugget comes out like this that’s just flat out embarrassing for our program. I just think it’s sad man, but maybe you see it & the rest of us don’t. I’ll bet at every game watching and cheering the guys on, but honestly I’m massively disappointed we’ve allowed our program to be run into the ground like this imbecile has done. GT should be smarter than that.

So you believe the coaches did everything possible to put him in the best position to succeed, and he just failed repeatedly because he struggled mentally? and Riq and Tre too?

No. Cut blocking, 50% completion, ööööty defense, and getting body slammed is not our heritage. And when you inherit a team that can only barely function semi-properly with a specific formation you’re gonna get seven years.

Wow. You losers will find a negative in anything. If he gets drafted good for him and good for Tech football.

Surely you're aware this is actually a big point of discussion among the fanbase - not something that's unique to Stingtalk?

The talent inherited was a major point of emphasis as justification for early failures or why our current course was taken. Further, Geoff touts his own acumen as a DC/DB coach. He puffs us his own credentials. He's never shy about telling everyone about his wizardry. Yet, not only was the worst performing unit on the team on the defensive side of the ball, it was laden with NFL talent. The talent, which as mentioned, was supposed to have never existed in the first place, until he blessed us with his recruiting prowess.

We shouldn't be blinded by the sunshine and rainbows by avoiding acknowledging this conundrum.

The defense has been bad at Tech for over a decade. So is every scheme and DC bad? I just find it odd a scheme works 4 different schools yet implodes when at Tech

I’m not a blame the DC guy, but the on field performance of 1, 2, and 3 regressed greatly from 2018-2019 to 2020-2021 despite them getting bigger/faster stronger. At some point coaches have to put players in a position to succeed.

I would bet that the 2021 defense as a whole was bigger, stronger, faster, and had more experience that the majority of defenses from the last 10 years. The 2021 group will have more guys that see an NFL field than most of those teams, and yet was one of the worst performing defenses GT had ever had.
 
It's just mind boggling that there are legit NFL prospects on a defense that was one of the worst in FBS. Not doubting the talent of the players, or if they are worthy, but just the absolute confusion that the DB's had game after game with that much talent.

Is it really? Guys like Patrick Mahomes was 12-13 as a full time starter

And some were roasted for stating as such during the season. It was plain to see. Yet there were those that got sent to TimeOut because they were making these points.

Would you say that comes down to coaching? In your opinion what were the main reasons the DB's looked so bad....was it talent( I don't believe it was), scheme? coaching? the fact the DL couldn't get pressure so the DB's had to work much harder?

1) Bad eyes and fundamentals. A lot of guys playing football and not understanding

2) Bad teaching

3) Lack of a pass rush

4) An offense that couldn’t stay

I don’t know if it was the teaching or the scheme, but I don’t think I have ever seen safeties and DB on different pages as much as I saw the past 2 years. I wrote off year 2 to a new scheme, but year 3 was worse.

Sure, every team has it happen, but our guys seemed to consistently be out of position relative to each other.

Agree. It was historically bad back there with players pointing at each other. I don’t believe it was that bad on my HS team and we had no coach.
