Was this the best face he could put on things?? Not inspiring confidence<br /><br />"I think that, obviously, we can throw the football. We can do things on offense that, once (Darius) Wade got hurt last year, it became very difficult for us. I think the only thing that hurt us a little bit at training camp at one point was that we were down a couple of offensive lineman at the end. It took the consistency out for us, but they're back and ready to go. <b>I thought maybe at one point we were accelerating pretty good, but then we leveled off a little bit,</b> but that will come. . . . .

However, I just have a weird feeling about this season. I'm predicting 8 wins as the college football gods balance things out with the defense still strong, the offense significantly better, and the in-game strategy much improved (no more blowing 3rd quarter timeouts in close games). Plus, I can't take the negativity and depression of yet another worst-case scenario season.eaglebostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17536194020385661646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-54969786582029491062016-08-29T20:45:55.572-04:002016-08-29T20:45:55.572-04:00Really hope we pull this out.

Addazio we'll have to buy out (again). still makes me chuckle that Christian got an extension after going winless in the conference. truly remarkable!<br /><br />i think the Worst Case scenario should have a Loss to UConn. that would be the cherry on top of the sundae.<br /><br />the interior DL does appear to be a weakness, another fail of the Addazio recruiting regime. even more jarring is we do not have any DT committed for next season. very odd.<br /><br />when does the 2-deep come out? i would assume an OL or two is going to flip to that side of the line, but nothing would surprise me with Addazio.EL MIZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12042895353703675136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-35721328399419879932016-08-29T19:28:32.236-04:002016-08-29T19:28:32.236-04:00Paul Johnson is a dirty chainsmoking son of a bitc...Paul Johnson is a dirty chainsmoking son of a bitch.

One of their OT is LG Shamire Devine, 6'7", 370 (down from 395).<br /><br />While I think we're in very good shape at DE with Harold Landry, Zach Allen, Kevin Kavalec, Wyatt Ray and maybe Tanner Karafa - it's the interior that concerns me. We have Truman Gutapfel, Ray Smith and Noa Merritt. We have no experience after these guys - Jack Kenny, and Freshmen Bryce Morais, Taylor Hill and Kevin Cohee. <br /><br />If Gutapfel or Smith get hurt we're in big trouble. I think Addazio left a big void here in his recruiting for sure. I'm not knocking our players, but where is the class depth?<br /><br />I like our DEs, LBs and DBs, but we don't appear to have enough interior DL to give these guys a blow. GT will exploit that for sure.<br /><br />Go BC - beat GT. We might have to shock everyone and score 35 points. :-)<br /><br />I'm heading over Thursday morning!!!!! Since I did not renew my season tickets after 42 or 43 years (thanks for scheduling Wagner after Howard, Brad - pitiful) I used that money and grabbed the Lower President's Box at Aviva Stadium - and I didn't buy them through BC either. That's how much I'm fed up with Brad Bates' scheduling.Big Jack Krackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202172743722727956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-57567234514870315352016-08-29T15:13:39.635-04:002016-08-29T15:13:39.635-04:00Sunday's AJC has already picked GT in an easy ...Sunday's AJC has already picked GT in an easy win.

NCSU and GT are toss-ups .. maybe. VT/Lville - hard games. Clem and FSU -- no way. Even UConn is no gimmee.mod34bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18129365485893573618noreply@blogger.com
