Depth Chart And Press Conference Notes

Depth chart.
TOB's Monday press conference.

-- R.J. Mattes, who saw some action against Cincinnati, is listed as the co-starter at right tackle along with Gary Gregory. Mikel Overgaard is listed as questionable for the Georgia Tech game. TOB said that he was looking for Mattes to make significant strides in practice and that the coaches will make a determination at the end of the week. No doubt they're hoping Mattes gives them a reason to get him back into the starting lineup.

-- O'Brien said he still has a lot of confidence in Dean Haynes, and Haynes remains at the top of the depth chart. The coaches "felt that he was a little shocked" after his miscues on Thursday, so perhaps his mental condition was part of the reason for his absence in the second half.

-- "Welcome to the first string, J.R."

"Woohoo!"

"We're playing Georgia Tech. Your knees will be lucky to survive."

"Y'know, coach, I didn't really need to hear that."

Off topic, but

I don’t suppose there’s anything you can do about the Tom Brady Xfinity ad? Looking at that stupid ass haircut and creepy grin is giving me the willies. As if I didn’t hate Comcast enough as it is. Not as bad as the EA sports ad prominently featuring a digital representation of TJ Yates, but still.

On topic – how surprising is it that Mattes actually recovered on time from that knee injury last year? That never happens for us.

I actually thought Gregory played pretty well over the past two weeks. It’s great to see a guy stick around and eventually contribute rather than transferring when they don’t crack the depth chart.
