What’s the point of converting 3 downs if you can’t score?...he has control over that👀🤷🏽‍♂️ I’ve seen nothing from him that says starter other than knowing the playbook and being here longer.

If you take a quick look at our offensive line, I think you can see he is not the problem. We’ve had the worst offensive line in the SEC for the last 2 seasons. JG is the least of our issues on offense. He is the smallest question mark on the team. I’m not saying he isn’t open to criticism. He’s not even a second team all-sec level qb. But there are much larger question marks on the OL, at WR, TE. Running backs are talented, but we still don’t know exactly how good they are, which is largely due to poor oline play. JG is the very least of our concerns at the moment.

Whatever you do, just don't go to Gold's if you have other alternatives. They are so scammy.

I've had memberships at National Fitness, Workout Anytime, The Rush, Gold's and now Planet Fitness. There's honestly only one gym locally that I'd say is "the best" of the bunch and I've lifted there too, even ran into AJ Johnson one day (massive man and bowling ball shoulders). Only negative about it is size/equipment selection. It's a great spot but it feels crowded with 6 or more people using weights.

I'm running over on lunch to get in my exercise so I didn't want a long drive OR a large crowd/small space. And I wasn't getting sucked into the contract BS again that Gold's & NFC force. Pretty much left one option.

I think touches will be closer to 70-75 in an "ideal" situation with Chaney.

I don't know how I would break it down my individual players, but by position groups here's my best guess

35 touches to RB (via carries/passes)
20-25 touches to WR (mostly passes, could see a few carries too since this group has so much speed)
5-10 touches to TE (I would be surprised to see it hit 10 catches a game, but I think DWA is a monster and Chaney will feed him if teams can't matchup)
2-5 touches to QB (broken plays or designed runs, I expect RPO to show up some)

Definitely should get off more plays this year. Last year we ran an fbs low 716 the whole season. 59.7 per game. Gotta move the chains, use tempo a bit more, and defense has to help the offense. Tough to put up any points on less than 60 touches a game.

Do you mind sharing the info on the 3 day split ?
Click to expand...

You alternate Workout A & B giving at least a rest day between. Most programs show it being done MWF and using Tuesday & Thursday to focus on abs/calves/cardio and the weekend for rest or cardio.

Workout A
Barbell Bench 3 sets of 8-10 reps
BB Squat 3 sets of 8-10 reps
Pull-ups (or lat pulldowns if not able to do pull ups) 3 sets of 6-10 reps
Hamstring Curls 3 sets 10-15 reps
BB Standing Military Press 3 sets 6-10 reps
Facepulls 2 sets of 10-15 reps

Workout B
Deadlifts (any variation) 3 sets of 6-10 reps
Incline DB press (at least 30 degrees no more than 60 degrees) 3 sets 6-12 reps
Bulgarian Split Squat 3 sets of 6-10 reps
Chest Supported Row 3 sets of 6-12 reps (chest support to prevent lower back engagement)
DB Lateral Raises 3 sets of 6-12 reps
Incline DB kickbacks 3 sets of 10-15 reps (face down on bench at about 30 degrees, upper arm/elbows tight to body and DBs are moved from 90 degree to full extension done slowly and controlled)
High to Low cable crosses 3 sets of 8-10 reps

Giving about 2-3 minutes after each exercise, it's not meant to go super heavy so if you've left a few reps in the tank that's fine. Goal is to get perfect form and control the weight.

Monday - A
Tuesday - Cardio (abs/calves)
Wednesday - B
Thursday - Cardio (abs/calves)
Friday - A
Saturday - Cardio (abs/calves) or Rest
Sunday - Rest
Monday - B
Tuesday - Cardio (abs/calves)
Wednesday - A
Thursday - Cardio (abs/calves)
Friday - B
Repeat

The worst possible thing for a 19 year old kid struggling to make higher education work so far away from home is to make him feel like everyone thinks he’s an idiot and doomed.

We’ve got to fix the way we talk about this.

In my short time as a college professor, I've learned it's really hard to pick winners and losers. I've had students that I thought were gonna be rockstars in the field and go on to grad school completely flame out or go other directions, and the f@#$-ups who I wouldn't trust to tie their shoes magically get their act together their last few semesters and just take off.

I think we all forget how awkward being 18 is even without sportswriters dissecting five minutes of your day.

ESPECIALLY as a student athlete who does not necessarily want to be a student.

I know many of you feel that is a privilege and benefit of being good at your sport - but that’s not even the point I’m trying to make.

When you spend half your time doing something you don’t want to do (academics) and the other half struggling to perform well in the thing you love (football), while being away from home for the first time in your life, it’s really easy to become down on yourself and for that mindset to spiral.

Taking a wait and see attitude with JG. I feel like lots of folks are touting how efficient he is, but at the end of the day, he was QB1 of a seven loss team. A team that had no business getting stomped by Vandy and beat UNCC barely. So far he's just meh.

Eh it's Fall Camp time. I don't have the energy
