    GaSoldier Other than qb, defensive backfield seems most up in the air.  No doubt Tucker and Smart will want to transform that group to their own likes.  Other than Sanders, it should be a big battle for spots back there.

  2. GaSoldier

    Alright we’re three weeks out and I’m getting pumped! Any predictions out here on the starting Defense and Offense. Got to keep busy talking something until Sept 3rd

  3. freddawg

    Rusty Mansell has a youtube interview on 247 where he says sources he trusts tell him Eason has really upped his game in the last 3 practices.

  4. Greg Poole

    Got this text from a friend and reader today:
    “Was at Tech on Tuesday and drove by the practice fields while locating a parking space. Team was working both inside and on the outside fields. What was odd was gates were open and no security so anyone could walk in and watch or take pictures. Guess the genius is either so confident in his offense he doesn’t care if people see it or more likely no one cares as they travel into obscurity so it’s not worth closing the gates or paying security.”

  5. GaSoldier

    I believe the team with the most sound defense wins the East. If we can stay healthy on offense we can put up points. I’m interested to see how our defense plays.

  6. RobDawg

    Agree with Greg that it won’t happen. Some traditions need to just continue if nothing else for sake of tradition

    freddawg dawgmum While it is true to some extent, that depth and an over abundance at a position on a team can have an impact on where a prospect decides to play, that is not true all of the time and it varies for each position. 

    Nick Chubb and Sony Michel committed to UGA when Todd Gurley was on the roster.

    Elijah Holyfield and Brian Herrien signed with the Dawgs even though Chubb and Michel are here.

    As Greg Poole stated, there is an awareness now for young running backs that may not have been there 15 years ago, or even 10, that being able to share the load equates to staying healthier and increasing their longevity in being able to play football at a high level.

    That, and talented players that are serious about competing …. they don’t mind the competition.

  17. Greg Poole

    Scott Sinclair is a lot different than Hocke at practice. Hockey was constant chatter, Sinclair is constant vigilance.

  18. freddawg

    Greg Poole I  read that Carter asked for fewer carries in HS to limit the toll, don’t know if that’s true.  Hopefully they all understand that even 3 great RB’s is not too many.

  19. Greg Poole

    freddawg dawgmum – Running backs know that they need to be in a situation where coaches are not tempted to run them 30 times per game. They have all gotten the message about the short shelf life of RBs in the league.

  20. JaxDawg

    I’m excited we are getting Jamyest back on campus this Saturday before he decides! I hope we can pull him and Gibbs and call it a day!

  21. freddawg

    dawgmum Bulldawg Bob2 My “fear” is that Holyfield shows out so much this year that he influences either Carter or Swift’s decision.

  23. AlphaDawg

    dawgmum Bulldawg Bob2 AlphaDawg If Penn State wasn’t in a slump with Franklin right now, I would have it less. But it seems they’re having trouble with recruiting him

  24. dawgmum

    Bulldawg Bob2 AlphaDawg dawgmum I’m going with AlphaDawgs guess on this one. I like that number better. ##

  25. AlphaDawg

    Bulldawg Bob2 AlphaDawg dawgmum Yup. I stuck with 80 when he didn’t visit Bama. I always leave 10% for “anything can happen” with recruiting.

  27. Bulldawg Bob2

    AlphaDawg dawgmum So far, especially since spring, everything is pointing towards Swift picking Georgia.

    Percentage wise …. I’d say I’m over 75% confident and feeling good he will do so, but as always, recruiting, she can be a fickle lady.

  29. AlphaDawg

    Bulldawg Bob2 AlphaDawg But we all know how package deals normally end up, so I’m not holding my breath.lol

  31. AlphaDawg

    Greg Poole He wants to whoop an SEC school and then tell them all the secrets. He’s going to make UGA’s life miserable one day if he’s on the East or at Auburn.

  32. dawgmum

    Bulldawg Bob2 What’s your gut on that one? Feeling pretty good? (Percentages of probability of committing to UGA welcomed.)

  36. freddawg

    ronaldo77  They’ve sort of painted themselves into a corner, financially and talent wise.

  37. ronaldo77

    freddawg As much trouble as they are in now, just wait till they fire CPJ and go back to a traditional offense. They will be eaten alive for the next 3 years at least after him. Those 230 Lbs OLinemen will get destroyed

    I understand your point and do not totally disagree, but they are in a power 5 conference.  I have always felt our scheduling issues stem from playing uf in Jacksonville every year.  McGarity (sp?) has made it abundantly clear that’s not going to change under his watch.

  39. Bulldawg Bob2

    TtownDawg  Aye. They are, at least as far as SEC teams like Auburn, Bama, Florida, LSU and Tennessee. State of Texas football is the same way. We just happen to be focused in on Georgia because we are such big Bulldawg fans; so, it seems like the spotlight is brighter on UGA.

  40. freddawg

    Score Check  The only reason I enjoy beating Tech is because their fans are so obnoxious.   But for the sake of our program as a national contender and recruiter, I’d much rather have the scheduling flexibility.

  41. Bulldawg Bob2

    freddawg Greg Poole  I understand where you are coming from Fred, that freeing up the game versus GT would enable Georgia to schedule a more high profile national opponent.

    It definitely has its pros and cons, but Old Fashioned Hate Week and the Bugs vs the Dawgs is a rivalry game that has too much tradition as well as financial implications for that to probably happen.

    I maybe a little biased, though, because I look forward to the Bulldawgs putting as much of a hurt’in on the North Avenue Trades School.

  43. freddawg

    No doubt GT would hate to lose the game.  The dream of beating Georgia gives their fan base a reason to exist.

  45. Score Check

    Greg Poole freddawg
    I agree it won’t happen.
    When played in atl its a cash cow for their struggling program.

  47. freddawg

    Greg Poole dsw61 A few years ago, Rolling stones excluded UGA from the list of best party schools in the country.  They explained that professional partiers couldn’t be included in a list of amateurs.  That’s obviously the case here.
