auskip07 930 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I couldnt help but wonder if watching Feleipe Franks at UF would be similar to how joey would look in the game. From a size comparison and arm strength i would think they are both very similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That allowed him exposure to the playbook which is a huge advantage. He also had a year in the weight room and locker room. Both lead to increase in chemistry with the other players. I don't know how much he was used or how many reps he got in practices last year but even if it was almost nothing he entered the QB competition with a leg up. If memory serves me right (it often doesn’t these days) JG was an early enrollee and had spring then fall to beat out MW for the backup job last year. I’m not sure why, but he apparently got into Gus’s doghouse pretty quickly, likely costing him valuable reps and development. Had he shown up with a great attitude and completely focused, he could’ve have established himself as the backup to JS and got some field time last season. That didnt happen and Bo won the job. All that said, JG is an ankle sprain away so I hope he stays ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMO but the redshirt season gave JG some opportunity to make up for the fact that he played very little QB while in HS.... He should be ready ….

Every doghouse rumor I've ever heard has ended up being true. None of them will ever be backed up with a quote from the staff until a player leaves the team, and even then they usually leave it ambiguous. The closest thing you'll get to a quote is "he's dealing with some personal/family issues" or an undisclosed injury status. Can't think of any reason to start a false rumor about the doghouse. People do weird things, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger 8,817 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Didn't they make him change his number due to being in the doghouse and he had to "earn" his number 1 back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. Even one of his most ardent and consistent supporters, who also happened to be an ardent and consistent doghouse denier, confirmed that.

cole256 17,039 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I thought it was more than chip's dog house...but IDC what anybody says if you don't get the reps you don't get better. Don't care if you were here or not. And if he had to do a bunch just to earn his number.....well I'm not even going to go in it but like I stated he has less time for a light to come on than others.....hopes he gets a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJCrawford 1,568 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Saw an article on AL.com with an interview with Gatewood. Gotta love this guy. Staying positive and supporting Nix. Hope he gets some playing time. This kid has been first class since he committed to Auburn way back win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
