Did you notice his NT last year literally destroy the middle of our line. This caused Josh to not have great success on the mid-line very much. If any of you think PJ is worried about his offense because Dwyer and BeBe are gone you're fooling yourself. Sure PJ is going to miss them as players and leaders, but that's nothing that he as a coach can't fix. If coaches worried after losing players they'd have a short career. How will coach adapt to the loss of BeBe and Dwyer? Well easily. He replaces Dwyer with Allen who is just as capable IMO, and replaces BeBe with Hill and gives Nesbitt further coaching in the offseason so as to help him adapt to the new receiver and his abilities. That's what a coach does. Lose one players abilities and adapt the plays to the new players abilities. PJ had to do it after losing Tracy Ham, Adrian Peterson, and a slew of other great players in PJ's career. Good coaches adapt the playbook and help the players adapt to life after great players. Good coaches also recruit more great players. Like I said coaches who don't do this will have a short career. PJ has been in the business for 29 years...hardly a short career. So I conclude that if you think PJ in concerned about this your fooling yourself. A coach can't worry about players in which he is not their coach for his gameplan, he can only coach up the players he has.

Orwin is going to fill AA's old shoes at Aback. Hill will take Bay Bay's spot, Chris Jackson will take Hill's. The OL and QB play becomes crisper and more consistent. We get consistent push off the LOS. Roddy fully recovers from injury and picks up where he left off from UGA '08. Overall the offense becomes more efficient. The defense upgrades from pathetic to serviceable. We get a kicker that can put the ball in the endzone 9 out of 10 times and a returner that averages 30+ yards and WE ROLL!!!

At this point we can't worry about Dwyer. Dwyer is out of the play book, and from what I have seen AA may not be as fast as Dwyer, but he runs just as damn hard. I am over Dwyer. He's gone. Coach is over him too. If your too worried about Dwyer you'll be very surprised this year when you find out you worried for nothing.

It's really hard to say that considering that we've never seen either of them take a snap at BB during a d1a game. Drummond has 4 years ahead of him, and Allen proved effective as an A back and a HB at louisville. We'll just have to see, but I think the system makes the b-back a better runner. I'm with PJ, I'll be shocked if the number 1 BB doesn't gain 1200 yards (barring injury).

Our bigger loss on O is Bebe IMO. Not just for his big plays but he was without doubt our best skill position blocker. BY FAR!!

It may fluctuate from season to season, but it'll produce. The defense is the big question.

Sorry, but Allen pounds the ball just as hard as Dwyer did. And, I've never seen him run to the wrong endzone  Remember the TD against Iowa? I'd say he ran damn well that game. And, if I recall correctly, he had a pretty good game against UVA. Last edited on Wed Feb 10th, 2010 01:23 am by pckl300 |
