I significantly adore the vinyl Kidrobot Simpson’s mini information – As with several Kidrobot sets, The Simpson’s arranged is sold in blind boxes only. The fixed is comprised of 24 figures, including three chase statistics. Each figure is 3 inches in height.

[...] it… in theory. But as Homer Simpson so eloquently put it, even communism works in theory. According to smartfootball.com’s Chris Brown, one of the easiest ways to stop the triple option, as proved by Miami and Clemson, is to move a [...]

I’m far from an expert on this, but I remember reading, before the season, several predictions that Dwyer wouldn’t have the kind of year he had last year simply because he’s moved from the “A-back” position to “B-back”. By design, he’s the one pounding it up the middle while Roddy Jones and the other guys get the flashy plays to the outside the majority of the time.

I would love to hear what Chris thought of that FSU game, though.

GT just rushed over, through, and around FSU for 400 yards. FSU’s defense isn’t very good, but 400 yards is still a huge number.

I guess the question we should be asking is, “What’s wrong with Georgia Tech’s defense? (definitely something!)”

Tech has one, and only one problem (it ain’t DC adjustments). Their offensive guards are really, really subpar players, and their offensive tackles are too small. The left tackle weighs 255! The two starting guards are slow, and kinda clumsy, especially the right guard (watching him try to pull and lead is like watching an elephant waltz). Tech struggled a lot last year in running the offense efficiently, and it’s just more of the same. Expect improvement through November, though. Johson is that good.

Johnson has been recruiting offensive linemen that fit his scheme (middle-sized, but quick and aggressive). They’ll be a LOT better in a couple years, assuming he keeps recruiting skill players as well as Tech has in the past.

[...] for two reasons. One, I love Paul Johnson’s offense. Despite GT’s struggles, this offense actually has better numbers (I know right? How?), even with a couple tough losses. Meanwhile, on the other side, Florida State [...]

It is fairly common practice to run in plays with set reads. Navy was known for “burning” plays to set up later plays based on player reactions. They’d adjust blocking schemes so that one player was allowed to make a big tackle for no gain or a 1 yard gain only to jump on the same ball carrier the very next play and have the QB “replace” his previous position for a 15 yard gain. I’m not surprised he’s doing it, but it is a huge detriment at that level, seeing as how you lose the “Check with me” system previously mentioned.

Johnathan B-

As a former receiver, I certainly know the difference between the cut block and the chop block, and often had to cut safeties and OLBs(being the biggest receiver on a (bad D3) college team at 6′, 175 will cause that), but I know too many former D-linemen that had their knees and ankles screwed up by completely legal cut blocks to agree with your implication that the cut block isn’t more dangerous than a regular block.

MTK: I don’t watch every game, though it might seem like I do. I watch plenty; use DVR; and espn360 comes in handy. Plus I’ve watched a lot of football in great detail so it doesn’t take me too long to size up what I’m looking for.

Joe: The fumblerooskie was pretty awesome.

Sorry for the following dorky question Chris, but how technically do you keep up with all the games? Cable/satellite provider’s DVR? Tivo? Other? Do you pick a few to record each week? Do you live in front of the tv on weekends? Curious. Really enjoy your site.
