It’s a day many Georgia Tech fans have looked forward to since the lonely walk out of the Georgia Dome following last year’s 35-point loss to LSU in the Chick-fil-A Bowl: The Jackets open practice for the 2009 season today. Many questions have been asked during the offseason. Can Jonathan Dwyer top last year, when he won the ACC’s player of the year award? Will the offense work as well in Year 2, after a year’s worth of game film has been compiled? And, most important, will Tech win the ACC? Despite surprising many by going 9-4 in his first year, coach Paul Johnson said he’s painfully aware that the team accomplished only one of its goals last season: beating Georgia.

“I tell them every day what they’ve done. ... Nothing,” Johnson said. “We didn’t win the league. We didn’t go undefeated at home. We had all kinds of goals we didn’t get. To get where you want to go, you have to work. Hard work. They worked this summer, so we will see how fall camp goes. I think they worked. They are hungry.”

Here are five issues that need resolving by the time Tech opens the season against Jacksonville State on Sept. 5 at Bobby Dodd Stadium:


Who will replace the big three on the defensive line?
Not many teams must replace three starters off the defensive front, especially three who were drafted by NFL teams: Michael Johnson (Bengals), Vance Walker (Falcons) and Darryl Richard (Patriots).

Returning starter Derrick Morgan is slotted at one defensive end, with Robert Hall on the other side and Jason Peters and Ben Anderson at the tackles.

Despite losing an aggregate 113 tackles and 16 sacks from the departed trio, neither Johnson nor defensive line coach Giff Smith seem worried.

“The biggest thing I want my guys to understand is to not to try to be Michael, Vance or Darryl,” Smith said. “Play within yourself and the scheme. Execute your assignment, and when the time comes to make your play, make it. Don’t try to make it all the time.”

Smith said he expects to see 353-pound redshirt freshman T.J. Barnes, listed second team on the depth chart at tackle, step up this month.

“I want him, like Tommy Hanson with the Braves, to throw the prospect label off and get out and perform,” Smith said. “He showed spurts in the spring, but nowhere near on the consistent level. I want him to play like he’s capable of playing.”


Will the passing game improve?
Johnson has said his teams will probably never throw for 300 yards a game. But he said if they throw for 150 yards a game, chances are they’re going to win.

The Jackets averaged 99.2 yards through the air last season and their passing efficiency stat, in which Johnson and assistant coach Brian Bohannon put a lot of stock, was ninth in the league.

Johnson said the Jackets left a lot of touchdowns on the field last season. Look for the competition at the wide receiver positions to be intense this month. Wide receivers coach Al Preston said they want to find the most consistent players, and he’d like to have three to four who are interchangeable.

“Don’t give us great plays and then flatten out on us forever,” Preston said.


Who will return kicks?
One of the reasons Tech led the ACC in yards per game last year was because it often had farther to go than other teams.

The Jackets ranked 10th in the conference in kickoff returns (19.6 yards per attempt) and ninth in punt returns (6.7).

The answer to improving those stats may have been sitting on the bench last year because of suspension: Jerrard Tarrant.

“Most people don’t know, but Jerrard is one of the most athletic guys I’ve ever met in my life,” Dwyer said. “With him returning punts, it’s going to change the whole game for us. Big asset for the team. He’s hungry. He’s going to be shocking the world a lot this coming season.”

Johnson said the team worked specifically on returns in the spring and will continue to focus on them in camp.


Can they sharpen offensive execution?
There were two key areas where Tech did not do well statistically last year, and the coaches have said it’s all about execution, which translates to concentration.

One was scoring inside the 20-yard line. Tech was 10th in the ACC last season, converting 76.9 percent of its chances. In 39 trips, the Jackets scored 30 times (18 touchdowns, 12 field goals), but they also led the league with three fumbles and twice turned the ball over on downs.

The other area was penalties. Tech was eighth in the league with 63 penalties for 570 yards.


Who will start?
If you think you know who is going to start at each position, think again.

Unlike last year, when at times some units had to use multiple walk-ons, there’s enough depth at most positions.

“I don’t think there is a group that doesn’t have competition, and that’s good,” Johnson said. “There’s going to be competition in the secondary, defensive line certainly. Offensive line, we kind of pieced together last year. We’ve got 12 guys competing for five spots.

“It’s night and day, especially in some key positions. Running back, there’s a lot more depth. Secondary [there’s] more depth. A-back, we’ve just got more depth. We’re just better all around.”

Don’t count on a starting lineup until just before the opener.

OK. So you expected suddenly a dozen coaches were going to declare: “I want Vick!”?

If you haven’t noticed, NFL teams have fallen over themselves to declare their respective teams out of the Michael Vick derby. We’re up to 18. Now, none of this means Vick won’t be signed. Thirty-one teams can say no but it only takes one to give Vick a contract. But it does illustrate how quickly some coaches and front office executives wanted the Vick Distraction doused in their city.

So here’s the thing. There are 14 teams who’ve said nothing so far. Thanks in part to the aggregation of ProFootballTalk.com, you’ll see the 18 teams below that have publicly declared they have no interest in Vick. To make this easier to digest, I listed all 32 teams in order of last year’s standings. If there’s a line through the team, it’s out of the Vick Derby.

If there’s one safe bet, it’s that Vick won’t be playing in the NFC East. Every team in that division has pulled out. Below the standings, I list the 14 teams that haven’t made a public statement on Vick, broken into two categories: Possible contenders and less likely to have an interest.

The star quarterback has been sentenced to prison, the new head coach resigned after only 13 games and for the first time in six years, a game was blacked out due to slow ticket sales. Just when it seems it can't get worse for the Atlanta Falcons, it does.

With the franchise in limbo, where do the Atlanta Falcons go from here?


Who Will Takeover?

On January 4, Rich McKay signed a two-year contract extension Friday to remain the Atlanta Falcons' president, but relinquished the general manager's duties. Now that the regular season is over, the search for a new Falcons head coach and a general manager are about to heat up.

Defensive backs coordinator Emmitt Thomas took over as interim Falcons head coach for the remaining three games of the season and under his watch, the Falcons had two rough loses in row to Tampa Bay and Arizona. Finally the Falcons' prayers were answered with a win over the Seattle Seahawks for the last game of the season.

Back in December, legendary Dallas Cowboys coach, Bill Parcells was offered a position with the Atlanta Falcons that would have made him head of football operations. It would have been a role that would have put Parcells in charge of hiring players and finding a new skipper for the sinking Falcons.

Parcells announced to the New York Daily news that he would most likely take the Falcons position, but soon after, talks broke down.

A statement released by Falcons owner Arthur Blank on Wednesday, Dec. 19 said Parcells thought the Miami Dolphins were offering a better deal.

"We gave it our best shot, and it didn't work out," Blank said.

Parcells signed a four-year contract with the Dolphins on Thursday, Dec. 20.

The search for a new Falcons head coach continues and now, the Falcons are also looking to fill the role of general manager.

"We will continue down the same overall path, proceeding with plans to hire a general manager and a head coach," Blank said. "We will identify and consider every strongly viable candidate for these positions, with the goal of hiring the best. Rich McKay remains president of the club and will retain general manager responsibilities until a new GM is hired."

As for the position of Falcons head coach, Bill Cowher quickly took his name out of the running, saying he wasn't ready to return to coaching.

Now that the regular season is over, the Falcons will most likely start officially interviewing candidates. Some of the names that remain on the table are Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garrett, Falcons offensive coordinator Hue Jackson and Georgia Force head coach Doug Plank.

The Prospects - Pros and Cons Jason Garrett He's a young, energetic offensive coordinator for the explosive Dallas Cowboys.
Garrett has limited playing experience behind Troy Aikman and has absolutely no head coaching experience.

Doug Plank Plank is currently the head coach for AFL's Georgia Force which shares Flowery Branch facilities with the Falcons. How would success in the AFL translate on an NFL field?

Mike Zimmer He is widely respected as one of the NFL's best defensive minds. It is his first year with the Falcons, why wouldn't he want to jump ship too?

Hue Jackson Jackson helped develop Atlanta's receivers into a respectable unit in his first year with team. He has limited experience at this level.


Beyond the question of who will lead the Falcons on the sidelines, there is now the question of who will lead them on the field.

During Petrino's short tenure, he rotated three players at the starting quarterback position: Joey Harrington, Byron Leftwich and Chris Redman. None of the them met with much success and the Falcons were sitting with a 3-10 record by the time Petrino announced his resignation.Related Story: Petrino Looks for Fourth Quarterback


The Falling Star

The hits just keep on coming for the Atlanta Falcons. Less than a year ago, Bobby Petrino left Louisville for the more lucrative pastures of the NFL and the Atlanta Falcons. Just 13 games later, Petrino announced he was done in Atlanta and headed to the University of Arkansas to coach in the SEC.

The season from hell began even before the first day of training camp.

In April, federal agents stormed Michael Vick's Virginia property to investigate a possible drug situation involving Vick's nephew. When police arrived on the property, they found evidence of a dogfighting ring.

At first, Vick steadfastly denied any involvement in dogfighting and the Falcons organization rallied around the star quarterback.

By July, federal investigators indicated that they had a strong case against Vick and he was later indicted on federal charges. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell ordered Vick to stay away from training camp and Vick was suspended for four games.

Training camp went on without Vick. As the season began Vick entered a guilty plea on August 27 and it became clear the season would have to go on without Vick as well.

Vick admitted to conspiracy in a dogfighting ring and helping kill pit bulls. He denied betting on the fights, only bankrolling them.

Vick apologized to the NFL and the Falcons saying, "I offer my deepest apologies to everyone. And I will redeem myself. I have to."

On December 10, Vick was sentenced to 23 months in prison and the former Falcons star fell amid controversy and disgrace.


Jumping Ship




The same day that Vick officially lost his freedom, the Falcons racked up an embarassing loss to bitter rivals the New Orleans Saints. That night, head coach Bobby Petrino assured Falcons owner Arthur Blank that he would stay with the team, only to announce his resignation the following day.

Petrino accepted an offer to return to the college ranks as the head coach at the University of Arkansas.

"Today was a day of decision," Petrino said. "It was difficult on one side very easy on the other. It was difficult to leave Atlanta, the staff, players, fans. The timing of it probably the thing that made it most difficult. Coming to Arkansas was the easy part."

It was a swift one-two-three punch and the Falcons are now left reeling and scrambling to put an end to the free fall.

So many questions surround the ailing franchise that no one really knows where to begin to put the pieces back together.

Too easy.

No. 2 LSU danced, dodged and darted its way into the end zone Monday night, turning the BCS national championship game into a horrible replay for No. 1 Ohio State. It was over early, with Matt Flynn throwing four touchdown passes in a 38-24 win.

Playing at their home-away-from-home in the Big Easy, LSU (12-2) became the first two-loss team to play for the title. Shouts of "SEC! SEC!" bounced around the Superdome as the Tigers won their second BCS crown in five seasons. They are the first school to win a second title since BCS rankings began with the 1998 season.

And in a season of surprises, this was hardly an upset: Ohio State once again fell apart in college football's biggest game. A year after the Buckeyes were routed by Tim Tebow and Florida 41-14 in the Arizona desert, they barely did better.

Jacob Hester bulled for a short touchdown, Early Doucet wiggled loose for a touchdown and All-American Glenn Dorsey led a unit that outplayed the top-ranked defense in the nation. Ohio State (11-2) had little to celebrate after Chris "Beanie" Wells broke loose for a 65-yard TD run on the fourth play of the game.

Yet while LSU got to hoist the $30,000 crystal trophy, certainly many fans around the country were peering into their crystal balls, wondering if someone else was worthy of the title. Southern California, Georgia, West Virginia, Kansas and Missouri all put on impressive shows in bowl games, and will be among the favorites in 2008.

Tom Brady was as giddy as the quarterback of an unbeaten and perhaps unbeatable team should be. Had Bill Belichick spotted him slapping the backs of his New England teammates, the dour coach might have scoffed.

After all, a perfect 16-0 regular season won't mean much if the Patriots don't win their next three games and another Super Bowl.

"We've been dealing with being undefeated all season," Brady said Saturday night after the thrilling 38-35 victory over the New York Giants in a game worthy of the NFL's championship showcase. "It was kind of a strange game. It really doesn't mean much to either team, but it means a lot."

New England became the first NFL team since the 1972 Dolphins to win every game on the schedule, and that one was only 14-0. This victory required a Brady-engineered comeback from a 12-point deficit and smashed the Patriots' league mark for consecutive victories.

"Going undefeated during the regular season is a remarkable achievement," 1972 Dolphins coach Don Shula said. "I know firsthand how difficult it is to win every game, and just as we did in 1972, the Patriots have done a great job concentrating on each week's opponent and not letting any other distractions interrupt that focus. If they go on to complete an undefeated season, I will be the first to congratulate Coach Belichick and the Patriot organization."

Validation of the Patriots' inexorable march through the season can only come by adding a Super Bowl championship. Do that, and there'll be no challenge to their spot at the top.

"Hats off to us," said record-setting receiver Randy Moss, who caught Brady's 65-yard bomb for the go-ahead score that set two major records. "I know a lot of people didn't think we were going to do it. A lot of people didn't want us to do it.

"In this game of football, it's hard to go 16-and-0. As a football player and a fan of the game, my hat's off to this organization."

In gaining their 19th straight win over two seasons, the Patriots went on top on Brady's 50th touchdown pass of the year and Moss' 23rd TD reception. It came with 11:06 remaining.

Brady beat Peyton Manning's mark of 49 touchdown passes and Moss broke Jerry Rice's record of 22 TD receptions. And the Patriots finished with an incredible 589 points for the season, another single-season record.

Once the victory was clinched, Belichick was barely more animated than usual. He shared hugs with players and assistant coaches on the sideline, but there was no thought of carrying him off on the Patriots' shoulders or dumping Gatorade all over him.

That will have to wait for three more wins -- if they come.

"It's a great feeling," Belichick admitted. "Now is the time to take a day or two and appreciate what this team has done, but at the same time we have our biggest game of the year coming up. Pretty soon we need to turn the page and move on."

Who knows, the Patriots might even find the Giants on one of the next pages, especially if Eli Manning again resembles his vaunted older brother.

"We didn't win the game, but if you saw everybody in the locker room, everybody was excited," Manning said. "I never saw a locker room so upbeat after a loss because we played so well, did some good things and hung in there in a game where we didn't have to play. We wanted to. We wanted to come out and play well, and we did that."

The Giants (10-6), already guaranteed a playoff game against Tampa Bay next weekend and with little to play for except spoiling New England's perfect ride, led 28-16 in the third quarter. It was the Patriots' largest deficit all year as the Giants showed no fear and plenty of versatility, scoring the most points New England allowed in a game during this remarkable run.

Manning threw for four touchdowns and Domenik Hixon, in his first game as New York's primary kick returner, went 74 yards for a score 11 seconds after Brady and Moss tied their respective records.

Not to worry. These Patriots are unflappable, and they matched their comebacks in wins over Dallas, Indianapolis, Philadelphia and Baltimore earlier in the season. A 73-yard drive ended with Laurence Maroney's 6-yard run to make it 28-23 with 4:00 to go in the third period.

Then came the most familiar of scenes: Brady dropping back, winding up and hitting a wide-open Moss in stride for a touchdown. The final go-ahead TD in their perfect year.

"What I'm most proud of is playing a playoff team on the road that was playing extremely hard," Brady said. "We found a way to come back and win. We did the same thing at Dallas. We did the same thing at Indy. We've been in some tough games.

"Everyone is going to enjoy this one. It happens once every 35 years."

Although many are eager to hail these Patriots as the NFL's all-time best, such acclaim won't come unless they win two playoff games and their fourth Super Bowl this decade. And for those who might deny such greatness considering the "Spygate" scandal, well, 19-0 would speak pretty loudly.

Certainly louder than any postgame celebrations at Giants Stadium, the same building where they were caught videotaping New York Jets assistant coaches in Week 1, a rules violation that cost Belichick and the franchise $750,000 in fines and a 2008 first-round draft choice. That made Belichick even more close-mouthed and dour than usual, and his team followed his lead -- right to 16-0.

The Giants opened the game as if they were, well, the Patriots, driving 74 yards, sparked by a 52-yard completion on which Plaxico Burress outleapt Ellis Hobbs for Manning's jump-ball throw. Brandon Jacobs broke Tedy Bruschi's tackle to score on a 7-yard reception for a 7-0 lead.

Naturally, the Patriots, the highest-scoring team in NFL history, struck back. After Stephen Gostkowski's 37-yard field goal, New England went on top -- and surpassed Minnesota's league mark of 556 points -- on the record-tying 4-yard TD pass from Brady to Moss, who soared above rookie Aaron Ross for the score.

The 10-7 lead lasted all of 11 seconds. The usually staid Patriots gathered around Moss as he did a dance in the end zone, prompting a 15-yard excessive celebration penalty. Belichick argued the call with referee Mike Carey, perhaps sensing how costly it might be.

It was as Hixon sped 74 yards untouched to lift the Giants back in front.

"There is nothing but positives," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. "I told the players in playing this game everything would be positives, there would be no negatives and that is how I feel.

"I don't know any better way to be prepared for the playoffs than to go against a team that was 15-0."

Gostkowski kicked two more field goals as the Patriots grabbed a 16-14 lead with 1:59 left in the half.

That's when Manning, coming off several rough games, was at his best, leading a quick 85-yard drive that included a rare scramble for 11 yards just before he found Kevin Boss in the middle of the end zone with 13 seconds remaining. The 21-16 deficit was only the second time New England has trailed at halftime this season; the other was to the older Manning and the Colts.

But with such a potent offense, the Patriots never are out of any game. Once they got the lead, they closed it out with another touchdown drive, Maroney scoring from the 5. Manning hit Burress again from 3 yards with 1:04 to go, but New England recovered the onside kick.

"We're down 10 or 11 (actually 12) in the third quarter, the crowd was into it, and we found a way to win," Brady said. "That's the way it's going to be down the stretch ... just hope we can continue to play this kind of football."

Notes: Brady finished 32-for-42 for 356 yards, while Manning was 22-for-32 for 251 yards and the only interception. ... The other teams to go unbeaten in a season were the 1934 and 1942 Chicago Bears; both lost in the NFL title game. ... New England also set a league mark with 75 touchdowns. ... The Giants lost center Shaun O'Hara, backup safety Craig Dahl and linebacker Kawika Mitchell, all with knee injuries, and cornerback Sam Madison with an abdominal strain.

Chris Redman gave the Atlanta Falcons a feel-good
finish to an otherwise ugly season.

Redman set a career high with four touchdown passes, including
two to Alge Crumpler, and the Falcons rode three fourth-quarter
touchdowns to a 44-41 victory over the Seahawks on Sunday that
should give Seattle cause for concern about its defense in the
playoffs.

Seattle, the NFC West champion, allowed the woeful Falcons to
best their previous scoring high by 17 points. The Seahawks had to
wait to learn whom they'll play next week.

The Falcons ended a six-game losing streak, giving interim coach
Emmitt Thomas his first win in three tries. Redman, the third starting quarterback for Atlanta in the post-Michael Vick era, also threw touchdown passes to Joe Horn and Roddy White. He was 17-of-27 for 251 yards with no interceptions.

Warrick Dunn rushed for 70 yards with a 5-yard scoring run and Morten Andersen kicked three field goals for Atlanta.

Shaun Alexander and Maurice Morris, who rushed for 91 yards, had
touchdown runs for Seattle. Crumpler's first touchdown catch, a 55-yarder on the first play of the fourth quarter, tied the game at 27-27.

Atlanta (4-12) then made Seattle (10-6) pay for two fourth-quarter turnovers by backup quarterback Seneca Wallace, who played the second half.

Wallace fumbled when hit by Jonathan Babineaux. Defensive tackle
Montavious Stanley recovered to set up a 7-yard touchdown pass from
Redman to Crumpler.

On the first play of Seattle's next possession, Wallace was intercepted by Chris Crocker, who returned the ball 18 yards to the Seahawks' 10. On first down, Roddy White's touchdown catch gave the Falcons a 41-27 lead.


Wallace recovered to throw touchdown passes of 45 and 13 yards
to Nate Burleson .Andersen answered with a 32-yard field goal after the first touchdown pass to Burleson. Burleson's second scoring catch came with 54 seconds left.


White recovered Josh Brown's onside kick to end Seattle's
comeback.Matt Hasselbeck completed 15 of 25 passes for 147 yards and a touchdown in the first half. He was pulled to start the second half
even though the game was tied at 17.


Wallace was 17-of-22 for 206 yards with two touchdowns, one
interception and a fumble.
