Jacksonville Beachfront Courtyard Marriott is the bomb. Damn fine Inn. Stayed 5 days and enjoyed it. Joe's Crab shack and a Sports bar called Sneakers was some good eats and drinks.
We went to the coaches luncheon and the Bulldog turnout was pitiful. It was almost a NW pep rally. NW coach is a slam dunk speaker that kicked Dan's ***. Sorry. Dan spoke as if he KNEW he was going to be outcoached and carry an L outta there the next day, and it was an almost certainty. Most of the team carried the same vibe as well. Did not have a good feeling at all about this game being competitive.
Those of you who criticized Cam Lawrence's lack of speed for an OLB can stick it. He's a damn good college LB and is a tackling machine. He also carried himself like he gave a **** at the luncheon. Were gonna suck even worse on Defense next year and a big part of the reason will be #10 not being out there with his instincts and doing a fundamentally good job of dropping opposing playmakers to the ground.
I can't believe Nickoe (as an upperclassmen) hasn't been taught that spiking the ball in that situation is a penalty. Regardless, he played like he is finally 100% from the achilles injury.
Tyler had a bad game, but he is a multiple record-holder as a Bulldog....deal with it and cut him some slack.
Devin Bell=good kicker for 3 more years
Special teams still needs a coach other than ***, if only to have a better scheme to block on punt and kickoff returns.
The next 5 weeks are crucial. Dan has GOT to recruit his *** off and make it count by getting his staff evaluated and develop the guys and lay down a great scheme in all areas.
I know most of the above statements are probably no-brainers for the most part...just wanted to get it on record on this forum to make myself feel some peace of mind, I guess.
