New Story: Guillermo the center of attention after first career start


Sep 11, 2014, 7:01 AM

 
Guillermo the center of attention after first career start

Redshirt sophomore Jay Guillermo made his first career start last Saturday against South Carolina St., but does he think he did well enough to earn future playing time? Which family member did he call first when he heard the news? Full Story »

Now we just need Crowder to start and we're set on OL***

Crowder needs to get better at Pass Protection first***


Sep 11, 2014, 9:18 AM



flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yep


Sep 11, 2014, 10:00 AM

he's a punishing run blocker but his pass blocking needs work.

Maybe, but who's better at his position? He is a beast.

so he is worse that Gore????not in what I have seen

I agree. Gore is 35 pounds below his effective playing weight, and is an average lineman at best. I've never bought in to him as a premier player. FSU will eat his lunch. I'd go with Crowder any day. He will be a star.

Start both of them. Our underweight tackles will wilt in the second half against FSU. We need some mean beef up front.

sheds a little light, doesn't it?


Sep 11, 2014, 8:29 AM

on when Dabo said after the Ga game:

"We learned a lot about our players in this game"

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Having Jay be ready and good to go as a starter is a step in the right direction


Sep 11, 2014, 8:50 AM

As would Crowder being ready, but I'd hardly say that makes us "set" up front.

Re: Having Jay be ready and good to go as a starter is a step in the right direction


Sep 11, 2014, 5:22 PM

At least he'll hit someone in the mouth. He is a mountain of muscle and plays with a nasty attitude. We can't finesse FSU. Our only hope is to go jaw-to-jaw with them and play savage, physical football. We will win or lose in the trenches.

Re: sheds a little light, doesn't it?


Sep 11, 2014, 5:15 PM [ in reply to sheds a little light, doesn't it? ]

Yeah, the OL collapsed, cost us the game. Putt the big meanies in up front. We now have big RB's who can both run and block (i.e Flemming). To beat FSU we have to come out and hit them in the mouth. Boston College, a
notoriously smash mouth (low on talent) team did just that, and had FSU on the ropes last year.

Sep 11, 2014, 9:14 AM

So, what is the story on Ryan Norton. What was his 'sickness'? Is he OK now? Does he move to another OL spot or what?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: New Story: Guillermo the center of attention after first career start


Sep 11, 2014, 5:28 PM

He got pushed around in the UGA game, and is somewhat undersized as center. Guillermo is 35 pounds heavier,
was the top HS center in the nation coming out of HS. He was knocking people around in the UGA game. So who do you start?

What happened to Norton?***

Re: I heard he was sick all week.***


Sep 11, 2014, 5:48 PM

Yeah, well maybe, but I don't buy it. Guillermo is simply in another league compared to him talent-wise. But that's just my opinion, and a lot of you guys are much more football savvy than me. So I'd appreciate any opinions.

Re: What happened to Norton?***


Sep 11, 2014, 5:43 PM [ in reply to What happened to Norton?*** ]

I honestly don't know. I don't think Norton was ever regarded as a top offensive lineman. I'd move him to defense. He was manhandled by UGA. He could possibly
have the speed to be a huge defensive end. Any input will be greatly appreciated.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: What happened to Norton?***


Sep 11, 2014, 10:47 PM

Have you observed Norton's play at center? Watch the tape from the Georgia game. The guy cannot block and he does not seem to be very strong. The defensive tackles seem to over power him.

That's a stud O Line next year

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Best Is The Standard


True freshman starters on the OLine are really rare


Sep 11, 2014, 10:26 AM

It's one of the hardest transitions from high school to college.

Plus there are a bunch of guys in front of the freshmen who have "paid their dues"

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

We played Battle as a true freshmen


Sep 11, 2014, 10:31 AM

also the whole, paid their dues thing is being way over blown by fans and the media. Fact is that the true freshmen are playing and playing a lot. I like the way the staff is handling them and expect the talent to emerge as starters soon in the year.

that is debatable. he played a year of prep school ball. yes, he was a "true Fr".. but he had an extra year of maturity and competition.

badge-donor-20yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yeah Battle went to prep school


Sep 11, 2014, 11:20 AM

and he wasn't a starter as a freshman, he was a seldom-used backup.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Yeah Battle went to prep school


Sep 11, 2014, 11:42 AM

I thought he played almost the complete game against LSU in the ChikFilA bowl as a freshman?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Yeah Battle went to prep school


Sep 11, 2014, 6:03 PM

He was forced into the game by an injury, and according to coach-speak, "held his own." So where is he now? According to his line coach still at 270. He didn't to hold his own against UGA.

Re: Yeah Battle went to prep school


Sep 12, 2014, 9:52 AM [ in reply to Re: Yeah Battle went to prep school ]

Shaq Anthony was suspended and Giff Timothy got hurt early in the game. Gore couldn't handle RT so they moved Thomas to RT and put Battle in at LT.

Re: We played Battle as a true freshmen

looked it up. battle played in 5 games as a FR.. about 150 snaps.

Who, for instance? Battle and Gore? As underweight as they are, have they really "paid their dues" in the weight room?? They wilted against UGA, and Fla. St. will destroy them. Just my opinion. IMHO Crowder is far better than either of them.

Re: Guillermo, Norton, Jake Fruhmorgen, Zach Giella, Beasley,


Sep 11, 2014, 5:53 PM [ in reply to Guillermo, Norton, Jake Fruhmorgen, Zach Giella, Beasley, ]

I just don't think Norton will cut it as an OL. I do think he has a place, probably on defense. He's a tough guy, and I respect him. Just don't feel we have him in the right place. I could be totally wrong.

Re: New Story: Guillermo the center of attention after first career start

Got his feet wet and got very valuable game experience with his first start. Did great job against SC State. Keep up the hard work and more playing time will come.
