By my count we have not had a game where we didn't bat down at least 3 this season, but I haven't seen official numbers, anyone have them?
should this D-Line retake the Redwood Forrest name from a bygone era?

That's thanks to Coach Bo. He has totally changed how our D-line plays. I love his style of coaching.
We've batted so many this season that it doesn't surprise me anymore when it happens. Before the year is over I bet we'll see some of these intercepted.
Did you know lot of players on DL used to play basketball? That truly helped a lot with their ability to jump. Reggie Ragland was outstanding basketball player for Bob Jones ... was a beast on the board. He can jump real high. Reed, Allen used to play as well.
It is pretty astounding how many balls we have batted down this year.
I've watched entire seasons of football without seeing as many as we have batted down in the first 5 games. It's insane.

I"m speechless too. We're doing it consistently every game. I like this new wrinkle even through we've been doing that for a while.
Downside to it, if our man jumps, he lose his edge and QB could break out for run.... But Luckily, we havent seen anything like that.

Taking a look at cfbstats.com it looks like we have 13 passes broken up by our DL* for the season. CLICK HERE
When you look at passes broken up by game we average between 6 and 7 per game. We had 7 in Athens and I don't believe that counts INTs. CLICK HERE
*NOTE: There may have been times when a LB was lined up as a DE and batted a pass...so that may increase the number.
That has helped the DB's SOO much this year so far. Just think about how many of those passes might go for completions if they don't get batted down at the LOS. Keep up the good work D-Line!!!
I am watching the replay and just heard GD say we had 13 coming into the game. - so now up to 16

Yea, they said it was Tomlinson (because he has several by himself) that said it....that is a funny comment.
I absolutely love it...I told my wife last Saturday that our secondary was playing good, but the D line batting balls down was a big help to them too!
Our guys with their hands up makes QB's have to loft the ball. I love to see the ball swatted down, it spells Three and Out... I'm old school and love Defense. Hands up and in their face causes many good thing to happen for us. My favorite games are when we put the QB under heavy pressure. More good thing happen for us then too...
Aaaaaaaaaaaaamen, brother!
Preach it!!
Like Chukker said, the guys have turned it into an art form such that it's no longer surprising...
It is, however, exhilarating...
