1. This team looks emotionally drained, Saturday night and today even. They need to get ready UVA will not just be a pushover.

2. I think if we really need Tashard he will play if not he might just take the week off as precation, I wouldnt look for him to start, but he will probably be there ready.

3. Taylor didnt play that bad like some we have seen on boards have suggested, he made some nice throws and missed on some, he didnt lose this game, the OL and the running game didnt help him much. If we could of had some kind of running game Taylor would of had a field day.

4. OL will be hearing it a lot this week, they plain sucked. They know it too, I expect them to come out in Charlottesville ready for a little redemption.

5. Grant will be a little more involved this week, just trying to work him back in.

6. Look for Earls to get on the field more, some underneath routes and such.

7. Thank God for Durant Brooks, it could of been a lot uglier.

8. Regarding the players talking to media, I think you will see them watch their words a little more, they ALL heard it earlier.

9. As bad as it feels after this loss, we pretty much lost one goal- winning a national championship and going undefeated, and thats what they are trying to portray to the kids, hey even if we did go undefeated we probably wouldnt be playing in the championship game anyways. In the ACC we still control our own destiny. There's still big goals this team set to accomplish and they are making it known its still very much accomplishable. I talked with a certain Senior this morning he was a little down but said hey were in it to win the ACC this year. He said he felt like the guys had a big wakeup call Saturday and expects this to in a way help in the long run. He said winning out is important to this senior class, a BCS game is important and getting that ACC Champ ring is very important. He said they know they can play better and look forward to reaching a new goal of winning out so they can see someone again- in Jacksonville. These players took this game personally like they were just beat up, I pity UVA.


10. There could be a little shakeup in the secondary, we have a future all american back there who is demanding more PT by the way he is playing.

11. I think you will see more of #9 this week
 
That secondary move I said seems to be more then likely taking place.
 
It needs to...bad.

I think we are going to see a lot of #21 this week as well....which is fine by me.
 
Thanks for posting this info...it's good to have someone close to the team feed us a few tidbits every now and then...

It disturbs me that beating UGAy isn't on this list. As far as I'm concerned, beating them is MUCH MORE important than winning ACC. JMO
 
The seniors have a thing were they are not talking about UGA until it comes to that time. You dont think they are thinking about that? Its a game at the end of the year though and right now the ACC is what matters since we are in conference play.

Can some elaborate here? Does this mean a certain #9 will be in the 2ndary? I'm not as tuned in as some :bowdown:
 
The Corner spot will see some shake-up but that affects Safety as well. They will see how it goes in practice this week. #9 will not be in the secondary, he will be in the backfield.
 
To me it means more #1 & a position change for #4. But I could be wrong.

Ahhh...I love Burnett, what a stud. Well good. I Hate to see #6 swept to the side being a Sr. and all, but its got to be done.

I seemed to remember somebody suggesting we put #9 at safety, so I wasn't sure. Can't wait to see #9 a little more too.
 
IMO #6 should of stayed where he started at that was his best position but depth played a big role in that.

Yeah I never understood why Pat was moved to D; he was a good receiver. I remember he made a really good catch against scUM in '05 that was key to keeping an important drive alive.
