Could Georgia Tech wreck the ACC?

Georgia Tech.
Yep, anyone want to talk about Georgia Tech?
The ACC is open.
You, Clemson, and what?
Clemson and hoops, if you will.
Well, Georgia Tech, they're not a mystery to me.
I already took the over.
It's my favorite bet of all the ones that we, I'm not gonna say cashed, but I already feel good about this thing cashing.
Buster Faulkner is the offensive coordinator here.
Speaking of cashing in, he just cashed in.
It's the first time I think a coordinator has been a seven-figure earner there, and he has earned it.
He was at Georgia.
He could have stayed at Georgia.
He could have waited for a quote-unquote bigger job.
He took a chance professionally and he went with Brent Key at Georgia Tech and now he's being rewarded for it and they're being rewarded for it and they got Clemson at home in week three and I'm really looking forward to it because I think that could be one of those sleeper games of the year.
Elsewhere, they get Georgia in Atlanta later in the year.
There's a disgusting corporate name on the game.
They're playing it at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
It's worth like $12 or $13 million more dollars for them.
I get it.
I don't like it.
I get it.
But outside of that, if you look up and down the schedule here, question, where else are they a point spread underdog?
At Colorado?
No.
Temple, no; Wake, no; Duke, no; Syracuse, no; NC State, uh, Georgia Tech could be favored in 10 of 12, and the two that they're not favored in are both in Atlanta.
I like them a lot.

Falcons signing CB C.J. Henderson
The Atlanta Falcons have been tinkering with their roster again in the run-up to their second preseason game, cutting ties with UDFA offensive lineman Michael Gonzalez and placing defensive back Grayland Arnold on the reserve/injured list while signing safety Ronnie Harrison as an inside linebacker and adding center Jake Hanson. Now they've made another move with an eye on potentially shoring up their secondary depth ahead of the season. The reason this one will cause a raised eyebrow or two is because of who the player is. That would be C.J. Henderson, the former first round pick in the same draft where the Falcons later took A.J. Terrell, and the fact that he reportedly chose Atlanta over other landing spots. Both cornerbacks taken ahead of Terrell will now have a stint in Atlanta—Jeff Okudah is the other—and neither has been close to as successful as Terrell since 2020. Henderson was touted as a young, hyper-athletic, and long cornerback who could dominate receivers on the outside, but his career has been defined by inconsistency and injuries. He last appeared in an NFL regular season game in 2023 with the Carolina Panthers, where he was a seven game starter and allowed 310 yards and four touchdowns on the year. In Atlanta, Henderson is vying for a reserve role, and while you might think his late arrival to the roster suggests he's more likely to push for a practice squad spot initially, there may well be room for him. While Natrone Brooks has been customarily good this summer, Atlanta's other boundary corner reserve options have had more mixed training camps and initial preseason games, with Lamar Jackson scuffling a bit against the Lions, Clark Phillips dealing with a rib injury, and Cobee Bryant looking like the rookie he is early on and unfortunately dealing with an injury. There's a chance that getting up to speed quickly and impressing in the final two preseason games will give Henderson a real shot at CB5, behind starters A.J. Terrell, Mike Hughes, (likely) Dee Alford, and rookie Billy Bowman. We'll have to see about that, but give Henderson a warm welcome while we wait for the corresponding move and Friday night's preseason game.

Former top-10 pick choosing to sign with Falcons over 'several suitors'
According to a report from the NFL Network, the Atlanta Falcons are expected to sign free-agent cornerback C.J. Henderson. The former top-10 draft pick worked out with the team last week, and according to Ian Rapoport, Henderson is choosing Atlanta "over several suitors." Henderson, 26, has appeared in 49 games (32 starts), recording three interceptions, 16 passes defended, two forced fumbles and one sack over four NFL seasons. The former Florida Gators standout has yet to develop into the shutdown corner he was billed as coming out of college in 2020. After spending a year and a half with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Henderson was traded to the Carolina Panthers in 2021. During his three seasons in Carolina, he recorded 128 tackles (106 solo), two interceptions, one forced fumble and one sack. In 2024, Henderson signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers but was placed on the injured reserve list without appearing in a game. Check back this afternoon see if the Falcons announce Henderson's official signing and any corresponding transactions from the 90-man roster.
