Will Jayron be an upgrade in the d backfield?

Blanks is a special athlete, but, his feet where in quicksand during the FSU game, played tentative for most of the game

He's better at run support then Blanks

But he was picked on quite a bit in the BC game in terms of passing. He gave up their long TD pass and the reverse for a TD. He's been better since then.
This game will test his discipline in not getting caught peeking into the backfield.

He wasn't used to the speed and qb's arm of the college game. That was a big lesson and constant reminder of how the college game is played. He has this under his belt now and will and has adjusted for the most part. His confident style of play will do the rest. We know he a big hitter during the run. He can see the field and trust his speed now.

Kearse will be an upgrade.. he just reacts.. Blanks thinks too much.. which is the reason why he isn't playing too well.. last year Blanks just went flying to the ball.. This year he is being hesitant. idk what it is..

He changed positions... he was a SS last year.. no cover responsibility long,, he now is a safety... much different. He is just like a freshman as far as how to play it, FSU was fast.. really fast.. hardest kind of team to play Safety because u can get beat on each and every single play if u are out of position..

He played his best ball at SS. The short field. He has grasped all the elements since moving to the FS spot.

then you have to assume blanks was better.
The backup is always the fan favorite, until he is the starter. Call me crazy, but I sure wish Blanks was healthy.

Venables and Morris

this game is much more about Venables
if we don't have the ball, doesn't matter how much Chad schemes, doesn't matter what Boyd and Watkins do out there
def sense the frustration last year from Chad
this game will all be about GETTING OFF THE FIELD ON 3RD DOWN
this means HUGE games from Stephone Anthony and Shuey to spy their QB
don't remember if we've played another QB this year w/ the running ability (not counting G tech...that's a glorified RB, not a QB) that SC has, but still good enough arm and accurate to make plays

Yes but getting the ball and going 3 and out doesn't help

either...our D needs a rest from time to time. Chad will need to bring his A game as well. This will have to be a total team effort.

...and not get greedy going for sacks. Keep Shaw in front of them and we should be fine.

Why does Morris keep getting a pass? His performance...

in games against quality defense's has left alot to be desired. In my opinion, HE needs to step it up in these type games. SC made him look like a High School coach last year.

He just didn't call any misdirection, motion, and counter plays to slow down or keep their defense honest. The down linemen just pinned back their ears and went all out on everydown. A simple halfback pass, shuttle, or double pass from a screen would have suprised on kept them honest last year. For some reason we didn't trust or had scrap this part of our playbook. It definitely took the excitement & fun out of our offense; successful or not, the players and fans love this from time to time. It also help the players to relax and play loose during a high profiled game.

wants this game and I'm sure he's had it circled all year just like the rest of us. He's a gamer and hates to lose. Love his attitude.

I have been critical of Blanks at times this year but I dont think he has been 100% with his knee. Kearse is young but these coaches generally gt them ready so I think we will like him back there

All these fair weather fans! No big deal that Blanks has a serious injury, let's take over that and talk up the next man in line! I'm appalled at what I'm reading here. One things for sure, I've witnessed and watched the sacrifice Blanks has made since grade school! I can't wait until he's back and healthy next season, all his fair weather fans will be back. These kids sacrifice so much for this sport, just to have "fans" be critical of them on their TEAM website I fully expect this talk from coots etc but tigernet? Wow, PS: your prayers are needed and MUCH appreciated for Blanks!

Especially for parents or relatives of players. Don't even COME here if you're a player or a parent or relative. These (we) are rabid fans with little to NO respect for the obvious fact that it's (TigerNet) totally public. Exercise your freedom to NOT click on this site. Everybody here knows everything about coaching, recruiting, offense, defense, special teams and even what supplements the players need to improve. They (the posters) believe they are more qualified than the coaches. Please laugh it off… and forgive us. We're Fan(atic)s!!!

Had to look up definition of "road dog". Consensus is that it means traveling companion. Not sure what a "road dog mentality" is or how it will help on Saturday. Guess it sounds tough like "nut cutting".

road dog mentality
Nov 27, 2013, 2:27 AM

Is a slang saying that has been in sports for as long as I remember just not uses much, we used to yell it as we would enter the field at games " road dog, road dog" you know like " useless as #### on a bohog"
