Greg is closing in on 15 years writing about and photographing UGA sports. While often wrong and/or out of focus, it has been a long, strange trip full of fun and new friends.

    I’ve always said that the OL position is one that as a high schooler and earlier probably got by on pure oversized mismatches throughout his career and didn’t have to worry about technique to much. He likely bullied his way through games with great success. But then get to next level and the guy across the line is about same size and strength as him and it’s a rude awakening. This is where coaches come into play and can develop a star or the player plateaus. Very different from any other position on field. Maybe closest next is DB

    RobDawg good question.  Maybe, because they have been the real head of the EU?

    Those things might be the noisiest animal in the woods, first time I ever went deer hunting one was in a tree about 20 Yds from me and I swear that thing had a bull horn he was so loud

    Too many dead periods, I bet it don’t stop Bama. They bend the rules as far as they can. They have a plan to get around any kind of rules. Hate em

    DawgByte pretty sure we are in the dead period until like the 10th of july.  no face to face contact allowed.

    BahitsDawg Looks like Thanksgiving dinner might come from the yard this season!  nice pic!

    I have never seen a turkey in my yard before.  My wife sent me this a few minutes ago.  Snapped on the corner of my property.

    MMCSDAWG dsw61 Greg Poole Remember that UNC doesn’t have the same talent as last year and needs to grow too.     Who will grow faster, UNC or DAWGS?      I think the DAWGS will do just fine and I wish them the best.    GO DAWGS

  31. PatriotVeteran

    Bulldawg36 You the man 36, expect nothing less than 15 as being very, very successful.     the Dawgs will roll in 2016 and be Hell on Whells in 2017, but first, lets win the SECe and SEC Championships, this year.    It can be done.      We’re behind our DAWGS and if they make mistakes, we’ll expect mistakes to be corrected ASAP and not cause us any major problems.     GO DAWGS

    PatriotVeteran Greg Poole Its not just experience they lack as freshmen. A lot of the time their technique isn’t where it should be and they lack the strength. You don’t want your program to be in a position where they are forced to start a freshman on the O line. If that player earns the start as the season progresses thats fine. Cleveland will be a stud lineman and maybe a pro bowler at the next level but there is no reason to force him to start before hes ready. I trust that Pittman knows what hes doing and will do whats best for the team.

  33. PatriotVeteran

    Greg Poole BenKellam Isn’t competition great?     3 great choices as Freshman and UGA already has 2 great starters.     Nice to have depth and know there’s more coming.    KEEP IT UP DAWGS

  34. PatriotVeteran

    Greg Poole Big Ben and Madden seem to fit into that group but are not.   Why?

    It’s CKS first year and he can make hard choices that the fans can understand.     Put in the best and most dedicated to start.    Whoever is best, play them.       Do like everyone of the Linemen CKS have so far recognized, but do hope that Freshman do have an opportunity to play, IF they just lack experience and can learn this quickly once the ball is snapped a few times.   GO DAWGS

  37. Greg Poole

    Some offensive linemen are born to the position, but the vast majority are made. That is why a good offensive line coach can guide his players where they need to be. Teaching the skills that go into playing the position builds confidence, then confidence grows as linemen win their individual battles. As they continue to win these battles, they gain a sense of pride in a job well done and bolster their passion for the game.
    This desire spreads from the practice field to the weight room to everywhere else as offensive linemen develop a work ethic and accountability that they will carry on with them for a lifetime.
    The camaraderie along the offensive line is different than almost anything in sports. It truly is a brotherhood, and the earlier we can instill that in our players, the better.

    BenKellam LOL!!!  Right, we may surpass that number by the end of the UNC game and if we could still Yolo, I would beat we surpass it by the end of the Nicholls st. game!

  46. BenKellam

    My not so bold prediction of the day. UGA will have as many completions to tight ends after the first 3 games than they did all year last season.

  47. MMCSDAWG

    BenKellam Greg Poole The only knock I ever heard on Holyfield was his ball security, so that would be the only reason I think we would see Crowder and/or Herrien before Holyfield.  Kirby and Chaney aren’t going to take a chance with ball security!

  50. Greg Poole

    BenKellam I agree that Holyfield will get the most snaps but, you’re right, it will be interesting to see who trots out first.
