Nice Yahoo Article about GT

I loved reading the comments afterward and the foolhardy Jeff P opining that Tech will see defenses with pro level talent, the kind of talent PJ did not see at GSU and Navy. Which in and of itself is a falsehood, since Furman and App State and Georgia had future NFL players on their rosters when PJ was at GSU and Navy faced many of the same teams Tech does now.
Not to mention PJ will have pro caliber offensive players to put into the offense, too, now, like Dwyer and Demaryius Thomas and Nesbitt (maybe not at QB, but somewhere), et al.

What the hell? This article came out today. Last season already happened didn't it? We played a lot of teams with NFL talent on their defenses.
 
I believe there is a chance that we saw tougher defenses last year than this year. Last year we saw a multitude of very very good DT's. This year, on paper, I believe only UNC and UGA had nationally preseason ranked DT's.

Uhhh..we have (and will) practice against better DLs than most of our opponents can throw at us.
 
Many UGA fans seem to think that PJ brought the Navy players with him to Atlanta.

B/c, you know, he's gonna see better defenses; but apparently the fact that his own teams are going from middle-tier 1AA talent to upper-middle BCS league talent is completely irrelevant.

:rolleyes::laugher:

Good point. I'm kinda liking our DT talent going forward! :biggthumpup:

Elite DT's are not the recipe.

Exhibit one is the BC-Navy bowl game, where with Raji, Brace and Toal in the middle BC gave up 320+ yards rushing and only won by 1 point due to an errant pitch at the end of the game.

Yes, Navy got all their yards on the outside. But that's the point -- you can't take away everything, if it is correctly executed.

To many nadlickers, we don't have (nor will we ever get) BCS league talent - so their argument holds water (as sad as that is) :laugher:

They're really between a rock and a hard place on this one.

If that's true, it makes UGA pathetic. It isn't like they've been blowing our doors off. Every game should look like 2002-3.

And if it's false, then it means they've got a serious problem brewing in Atlanta.

I'll just give them a couple more years and maybe they can digest it. All this new info is really twisting their brains up, and they're neither very bright nor very comfortable with change.
 
I loved how Jeff P. totally missed the guy's point about Frank Solich running the option until 2003. Jeff said everyone quit running it 20 years ago.

Osborne won a National Title with it in 1997.

From 1999-2003, Solich went 58-19 with the option. Not bad.

His firing was the fault of the AD and the fact that Solich quit calling his own plays.

I'm airforcerager on there. I tried to make a few points at the end. It's hard for a lot of people to conceive the possiblities because they haven't really looked into our situation throughly.
