What We Know So Far

Jackets went full pads for the first time yesterday. After a week of practices here's what I'm seeing and hearing:

-To nobody's surprise, offensive execution is light years ahead of last season. The younger players are of course, struggling as all newcomers do. Tempo and understanding of what to do and where to do are far ahead of a year ago.

-Dwyer looks in mid-season form already. This guy could win the Heisman. Seriously.

-Roddy is still wearing a yellow jersey as he recovers from a broken wrist suffered this summer.

-O line is vastly improved. Lots of shifting positions right now to try and get the best possible 5 on the field. Howard and Claytor at G positions? All the chatter indicates there is a solid 2-deep.

-Quintin Sims is another WR who PJ has singled out as impressing.

-Updated heights/weights on the official GT site at Ramblinwreck.

-Best chances to avoid a RS: Stephen Hill, JC Lanier, Emanuel Dieke and Jamea Thomas. So far the young OL aren't being mentioned much. Hill is wowing with his athletic ability and acrobatic catches. Calvin Johnson II? We'll see.
