Bulldawg36 If they have indeed passed us it had best pay off for them this year as they lose their QB, and 2 best RBs for the 2017 season, I look for them to backslide a bit then.
Bulldawg36 Look it’s clear Eason is the most talented of the 3. To me Lambert showed zero growth between last year and this spring. You know what you’re going to get from him (12 for 19 for a buck sixty and maybe a TD). Ramsey the second most talented, but again he demonstrated that he’s very inconsistent. I watched him toss 2 INTs in warmups – one to a LB and another to a Safety. He just can’t seem to put it all together.
Having said the above, I want Eason to play when he’s ready. No point and putting him in there and having him get shell shocked. He needs to see a few series from the sidelines to get a feel for Div. 1 Defensive speed and coverages. When the starter begins to flounder hand him the ball and tell him to have fun.
I say baloney. There is zero reason we can’t win the east, and doing so means one game for the sec. IMHO we have an excellent chance at the sec.
Bulldawg Bob2 Bulldawg36 Honestly, I can’t pick Georgia as a most likely…yet….too many unknowns ATM.
DawgByte Bulldawg36 Although I don’t want to lose to either of them, but I’d rather we beat Florida if I had to choose just one.
Bulldawg36 I drove 4 and half hours got in the stadium at 3:15 wound up on the 20 yard line upper bowl visitor side. Awesome experience well worth the drive. Jacob Eason is the man! Just hope we can develop an oline to protect him.
Bulldawg36 I watched a little of it, looked like some or most of it they were running drills, so scores are meaningless.
Bulldawg36 Yet you’re watching two losers together in one place, Towers and eagle ears. Amazing.
Bulldawg36 I only have 1 must win game this year and that’s Tenn. We can’t lose to them two years in a row. Just can’t do it. Can’t stand them.
Just get tired of chip towers!!!!!!!!!!!
Greg Poole Agree! Kirby has been very clear on his assessment of our program. Crystal in fact.
We’re not there yet. We lack size, strength and talent at the 2 &3 depth levels. We also lack the ability to constituently execute. The real measure of this coaching staff is if we see incremental improvement week-over-week. I think we’ll be successful if the staff can make that happen. Are we a SEC Championship winning team? I don’t think so. But hey, that’s okay… CKS and staff need the time to recruit the type of players that fit his vision.
PatriotVeteran Bulldawg36 Agree Patriot. The biggest factor for Georgia when they play UT is that the game will be in Athens and not Knoxville.
Knoxville is most always a tough place to get a win on the road.
Bulldawg36 Coach Smart has stated he thinks Georgia lacks size in the trenches as well as depth there.
Is it impossible for Georgia to win the SEC? No.
Is it probably? Not likely.
Why? The biggest reason is a first-year head coach and coaching staff who are working on building a championship program. Not even Nick Saban won the SEC in his first season at LSU or at Alabama. It actually took Saban, his 3rd year at Bama to win the SEC.
Safe bet on Lambert and the other prediction is too. Why would anyone predict UGA tot win the SEC this year?
Bulldawg36 93K will be the difference. The Fans are fired up and a good crowd can do wonders. UGA looks good the other day, but a few of the new players will make it even better: Hardman, Woerner, Holyfield, to name a few. GO DAWGS KICK UT’S BUTT.
Chip towers said on finebaum that he thinks lambert will start vs unc. He also said he doesn’t think UGA will win a championship because of a lack of size and depth!!!!!!
I didn’t realize bama had “the usc” right out of the gate.. Should be interesting.. Bama has talent but so does usc..
BahitsDawg At Wimbledon, people stand in line and can buy tickets at a very nominal charge for people leaving early who only came to see a certain player or match. The tournament then takes that money and donates it to charity and has raised millions of pounds over the years. It’s more than worth it for the tournament given the food, beverage and merchandise sales, plus it always looks good to the TV audience to see the place full at all times.

Bulldawg36 It still doesn’t matter if Tennessee played Oklahoma or not. OK. Take them off the Vols’ schedule and replace them with GT. Then Georgia and Tennessee end up with the same record at 10-3 most likely.
And replace GA Southern with Oklahoma on the Bulldogs’ schedule, then it is likely Georgia goes 9-4 and finishes with the same record as the Vols.
And does not Georgia have talent on their roster as well? I still don’t see where Tennessee has surpassed Georgia.
I do think they are going to be a good team in 2016 though, but we shall see how much so after the 2016 season plays out. If they win the East and win an SEC championship this year, then I’ll eat crow, but not until then.
Yep but we didn’t play Oklahoma either. It just looks like they have because they have a talented veteran qb and skill players- I hope they haven’t and their defense looked pretty bad sat. So we will see. Just hope we can beat em in Athens
MMCSDAWG Bulldawg Bob2 Blakenship kicked off some. I don’t know how many times each did. They didn’t keep a record of the kickoffs.
Bulldawg Bob2 MMCSDAWG Did Blankenship kick off at all Sat? It looked like hamm and one other unknown to me player did all the kick offs.
Bulldawg36 When did Tennessee pass Georgia. Yes. They won last year, but where did the Vol’s finish in the standings?
Both were 5-3 in conference play, and both won their bowl game.
Georgia finished 10-3 while Tennessee finished 9-4
Oh yeah Tennessee better fix that defense- 70-63! Hahahahahaha!! Who is their new DC anyways?
Greg Poole Bulldawg36 Hahahahaha. Bam!
Because I hate that Tennessee has passed us by when we have usually out recruited them. Just don’t think we will beat em this year
Bulldawg36 Well, one thing for sure – Spurrier won’t.
Greg Poole It’s his long lost twin or uncanny look-a-like if it is not Geno.
MMCSDAWG Bulldawg Bob2 Aye. And I am not saying there isn’t room for improvement, but just based on what Coach Smart said from before spring practice and the first couple of weeks of practice to the post-GDay game presser, it was not quite a 180 degree shift in “coach speak” but more positive than it had been.
I think Marshall Long will come in and give Ramsey a run for his money at punter, and I know Blakenship has the leg to kick it into and through the endzone.
This is Geno Atkins, right?
Bulldawg Bob2 MMCSDAWG I certainly hope your right… Kicking it thru the endzone is by FAR the most efficient kick-off.
Bad snaps and bad holds sure dont help much. Not saying that the kickers looked good but one can’t kick good when laces are first thing his foot makes contact with.
Bulldawg36 Why? It’s the SEC, there are going to be good teams that Georgia will have to face. I still don’t think Tennessee was the team it was in the 90s, but the Vols are better than they were 3 or 4 years ago.
The 3 teams that will vie for the SEC East crown in 2016 are most likely Florida, Georgia and Tennessee.
Bulldawg Bob2 Bulldawg36 here we go again! lol… UTk is always ready to “break out”. There is a tone of controversy surrounding that program and i know nothing will probably happen to butchy poo, but I still don’t believe he is a good game day coach. The in game play calling and decision making on his part cost them 2 games IMO last season. Oklahoma and Florida…
Probably so!!!!!!! But it still makes me sick!!!!!!
MMCSDAWG Remember, Coach Smart also said that the kicking had improved throughout spring and that the kicking game was scripted for G-Day was scripted; so, it was hard to judge or gauge it. It was the most positive he had been about the kicking and punting since he took over.
Bulldawg36 Tennesse is going to have a good team.
Spurrier said Tennessee might have a break out year!!!!!! Yuck!!!!
CLTDawg Bulldawg Bob2 BahitsDawg Brooklyndawg But don’t be surprised to see a team “take a chance” on KM in the 3rd round or possibly even late 2nd round. We see it almost every year in the draft.
