Joel Caleb looks like he could be a stud at running back
Havent seen Malleck out there in any of the videos and some one uploaded a picture of him with ice on his shoulder... is he just being held out for precautionary reasons and letting the backup tight races settle before the season opener in the Georgia Dome? Seems like Loeffler has been very impressed with him.
I'm with you on the 2nd point. Boundary has been the spot for our most trusted/experienced CB because of the left-on-an-island nature of the position. No way a Freshman gets penciled in at BC before practice starts.
Also, didn't Exum and Fuller17 swap back and forth between BC and FC last season, with Fuller17 finishing the year at BC? So that means Fuller17 not only has overall experience on Fuller11, but experience at that position.
Not me. I really don't want to see video...because Bama could see it, too. I'll settle for the live game celebration and SportsCenter replays of the "the great upset".
Didn't Beamer publicly apologize for his comments and admit he was wrong...?
+1 for the Firefly clip. Never got into his other stuff, but Joss Wheadon (sp) got me with that show and its subsequent movie!
Plus 1 for any Firefly clip
So it looks like even the west coast teams know how awful the Hoos are and were lining up at a shot at them.
Here's the link. This gets me pumped. We need him this season.

# | Sam Rogers Named Starting Fullback for Alabama Game and more Depth Chart News Clearly, he didn't hug his mom for fear of breaking her in half. HULK SMASH!
If he was TRULY teaching his players to hurt others, he would have been called out in public by now
Chopgate?
They've beaten us once in the 5 years that Johnson has been their coach. And they resorted to illegal crack back blocks on our safeties to do it. Sure the games are close but how much is that our offense wasting downs against a ball-control offense, and how much of it is shady blocking up front?
They've caused far greater damage to our DL's health than anything else.

# | Sam Rogers Named Starting Fullback for Alabama Game and more Depth Chart News Also of note, there is no further detail for what E.L. stands for. His dad's name is E.L. Maybe we can just drop the .'s and call him "El Smiling!"
I have a friend whose name is BJ (pronounced Bee-Jay), it doesn't stand for anything, he doesn't have a middle name, etc. just a two letter, no vowel name that looks like initials.
After #pg-13languagegate, I doubt that Moorehead will remain quiet after his WR's miss a block. Dude is a monster, and expects his players to exhibit the same emotions that he has. Love that Tech has him.
I just hope he can get these guys to block like Boykin and Coale did in 2010-2011. Watching highlights of Evans, Williams and Wilson and it's amazing how many times they gain an extra 10+ yards thanks to a block from Coale, Boykin or Coles.
He coaches his linemen on how to make illegal chop blocks look accidental or incidental.
This is a very serious accusation that I would have to have a significant amount of evidence to believe. You're talking about the a man who was the head coach of a service academy for many years. If he was TRULY teaching his players to hurt others, he would have been called out in public by now.
Does he teach his players to cut block on practically every play? Abso-freaking-lutely. Does that mean that his players will be in a position to chop block far more then other teams? Abso-freaking-lutely.
There is a difference between teaching your players how to hurt others, and asking your players to perform a technically difficult task which they will occasionally fail at.
Let's be honest though. If Tech hadn't been beaten by Paul Johnson in the past, the amount of hate he gets in Tech circles would be far less. Seems like a lot of sour grapes to me.
Something like this:
I don't know if there is a college coach who doesn't teach the players to get away with a little dirty play. The game today is so closely matched that any advantage you can get is important.
Now, I certainly HOPE that our guys don't do anything like that.
You've got a guy here passing on inside direct experience from a friend who played for Johnson and was a 3 year starter for him at Navy; and you're completely disregarding it. Johnson is an asshole who has no regard for player safety. He coaches his linemen on how to make illegal chop blocks look accidental or incidental.
I understand, everything on the internet isn't true. But come on man.
Technically correct (the best kind of correct).
But many, many people (even football people) use the two terms interchangeably, but when speaking about the illegal chop block refer to it as a "high/low block".
A cut block and a chop block are not the same thing.
cut block = going for the legs
chop block = combination blocking someone low & high at the same time
