Jameis Winston: Dallas to Dallas

theballguy · Feb 18, 2014

For him to be only a Sophomore, it seems Coach Jimbo (and/or his baseball coach) is allowing Winston to talk a lot. Winston is already talking repeat with this "Dallas to Dallas" (opener against OkSt and then the first playoff game in Dallas). If this is really their team slogan, they could be setting themselves up for a lot of pressure and a big letdown. Even when you say the right things, the pressure to repeat can be more than difficult enough. Sure, they'll breeze through the ACC but with the way they played against Auburn, they may not do so well in two rounds of the playoffs against good teams.

I know just the guy to knock that chip off his shoulder too.

When HASN'T FSU been cocky?

BamaMoon · Feb 18, 2014

Nothing wrong with the goal or slogan IMO.

I just hope they are doing what CNS preaches against and that is to think that because they were champions last year that means they will be champions this year.

It's a whole new year (and era).

Hope Bama comes out hungrier than ever and they come out feeling entitled!

No offense but, you guys are just digging for stuff to complain about.

If Bama opened the year in Dallas we would be using the same slogan, I think it's actually pretty catchy. Whatever helps to motivate. I'm not going to jump on FSU for gloating a little, they deserve to for now plus, any team that makes the aubs cry is okay in my book.

They have a woefully easy road to the playoffs. Unless they stop working, I see them making the playoffs. I do not see them winning the championship.

BamaHoosier · Feb 18, 2014

I have no problems with this at all. Every team has the stated goal of winning a championship, especially if they just won the previous one. It doesn't become any worse just because he attached a slogan to it. I agree that JW is an arrogant jerk, but I doubt that this is any different than what anyone else would do in the same situation.

There is one thing that JW is forgetting though. Last year they flew under the radar all year, so no one saw them coming. This year they will have a target on their backs and everyone will be gunning for them. That makes a huge difference over the course of a season, and these comments will only pour gasoline on that fire. Here's hoping they do come back to bite him in the butt in the long run.

CrimsonForce · Feb 18, 2014

Nothing wrong with him saying it. Much harder to win the second one, especially in a row. That's why there is only one team that has done it during the BCS. I suspect it will be that much harder with the new playoff format. FSU, assuming they make the playoff, will have to play 2 legitimate football teams in a row to win the championship.

Not nearly as humble as the popular RoadTo16 slogan that Bama employed last year.

The back to back games at the end are going to be the test. The SEC does a MUCH better job at preparing a team for that. The ACC is simply laughably easy for them.

When you beat teams the way FSU did last year, I think each opponents knew what they were facing. I also believe two things were revealed during the Championship game: 1) FSU defense laid the wood on Aub QB each time, IMO, he started looking for the hit. 2) Winston don't like to be knocked down...keep as much pressure as possible in his face. I truly hope that we stop catching defenders and start applying pressure---especially against these spread/option type teams.

Sadly, I think FSU has grounds to be arrogant because (1) they have talent and (2) they have an easy as sin schedule. I seriously hope the new committee doesn't invite a team that is undefeated or 1 loss for those reasons alone.

Then again, they play in the ACC. Who's going to beat them? Duke? The Mighty Terrapins? Wake?

With the way they played against Albarn? Albarn was reading their signals the 1st half, while this isn't illegal it gives an unfair advantage. We all saw what happened the 2nd half when aubies weren't able to read the play calling. They got their tails stomped.

dont have an issue with it. i applaud it because his team responds to him. cant teach that

Totally agree on the easy road B1GTide. Of course we were *supposed* to have an easy road last year (though everyone knew better) and we saw what happened.

Just a minute!! Who sez the latest Bama Dynasty is over yet?

TideMan09 · Feb 18, 2014

I like & can appreciate being a tad bit arrogant, I hope all our Players feels the exact same way, but, I still cannot stand Jameis..The dude gets under my skin like select few can..He's the one I hope we face in the NC Game this coming season & we shut him the heck up..Hard..
