I had no faith in this team coming into this season but watching old hightlights and just getting excited about football season has given me the false hope I always manage to find before the season starts. Let's do this.

8/30/2010 9:10:29 AM

TOB is...pleased?!?

8/30/2010 9:32:49 AM

As long as we're talking about Calvin Johnson



But I, too, was at C-F for that one-handed grab

Was ridiculous

^ i was so fucking happy when that happened. they had been all over CJ's dick that whole game, and he single handedly lost them that game

8/30/2010 10:16:25 AM

^^we were owed that gift after they took our perfect season in 02....although I would gladly give GaTech that^^game if we could've gone 10-0 in 02. Probably would've changed a lot.

He fought through double coverage and got his hands on a floater from Reggie Fuckin Ball at the top of his jump

Anyone other than Johnson and they never would have had a shot at that play

8/30/2010 2:02:22 PM

I'm basing this on the Pack Pride thread, where all he said was "Dean Haynes starting at RB"

8/30/2010 2:03:32 PM

No over at PP they're saying this is 100% not a typo. Apparently they switched him to RB a couple of weeks back to give him a look. It seems like with neither Underwood or Washington being listed, that they must be a little dinged up and TOB wants to give them an extra week to get ready. Must think we can beat WCU without them.

8/30/2010 2:08:22 PM

Tedder can snap for punts and hold for XP and Field goals.

8/30/2010 2:31:53 PM

I figured they would have at least given Leggett a shot before Haynes after his performance in the spring game and considering how thin we are at CB. This is from Haynes' scout profile:

Quote :

"A home run threat anytime he touches the ball, Haynes has scary speed. He is also very strong and will not come down by an arm tackle alone."

8/30/2010 2:35:45 PM

Also very interesting that all three of the defensive studs we recruited are listed as the backups.

Amerson
Green
Johnson

i like it. they must be really good.

8/30/2010 2:36:06 PM

not good enough to beat out the shitty starters apparently.

8/30/2010 2:40:05 PM

Donavon Counts is our highest rated running back on NCAA Football.

8/30/2010 2:50:28 PM

^ He definitely is the 2nd season, at least in my game. Dude went from back-up FB to almost 90 overall starting RB with crazy speed, it was pretty funny.

8/30/2010 2:53:54 PM

^^^ get their feet wet, prelude to eventual take over, also, maybe last year's starters learned what they need to learn etc.

8/30/2010 2:56:31 PM

^^^^In TOB's system experience always trumps young blood for season openers.

8/30/2010 3:15:27 PM

Just got back from a meeting and wow, what a surprise to see this. After all the articles this pre-season by the media about Underwood and Washington. Does Haynes even know the plays at the RB position? He probably remembers some from high school. But it's hard to believe that he's mastered the playbook after 2 weeks. Can't wait to see TOB's comments tomorrow about this.

Pack shocker: Dean Haynes to start at RB

Quote :

"Dean Haynes, who began training camp as a starter at cornerback, has earned the starting running back job for N.C. State's opener at 6 p.m. Saturday against Western Carolina, according to a depth chart released this afternoon. Haynes, a redshirt freshman, moved to running back about two weeks ago, according to team spokeswoman Annabelle Myers. Coach Tom O'Brien referred on a couple occasions last week to personnel moves the staff had made on a tentative basis, but didn't specifically list them. Apparently Haynes' was the most significant move. He will be backed up by freshman Mustafa Greene. Junior Curtis Underwood and sophomore James Washington, who began the preseason as the starter and backup, respectively, at running back, are not on the two-deep depth chart. Although Haynes has played defense at N.C. State, he rushed for 878 yards and 18 touchdowns as a senior at Northwest Whitfield County High in Georgia in 2008. Elsewhere on the depth chart, Jeff Rieskamp has moved in front of Michael Lemon at defensive end after having a strong camp following a return from a sports hernia that caused Rieskamp to miss the entire 2009 season. Natanu Mageo and Brian Slay are listed as starters at defensive tackle, backed up by J.R. Sweezy and Markus Kuhn. Terrell Manning is starting at outside linebacker ahead of Dwayne Maddox, and Justin Byers will start at boundary cornerback - which was the position Haynes filled at the beginning of the preseason. O'Brien was not immediately available for comment on the depth chart."
