WillieWalden And WHY NOT NOW!
ed603 Morning ED!
Good morning BI…
Another 5 star leaving bama… Sounds like trouble in paradise… I have a feeling the sec is gonna be more up for grabs than what people think…. Why not us.. Lol
As long as he has a G on his chest in the end
dsw61 freddawg Well, Buck Belue didn’t throw a lot, thus protected the ball and we won the Natty….. of course, there were a few other variables. lol
McBride is Phelps daddy#
Greg Poole well folks this will probably be the only info we hear about mcbride until he commits
BahitsAgain Greg Poole since hes a strength coach i doubt hes touched a dairy product in 10 years
BahitsAgain I tried to get him to smile for a pic in Macon – not having it.
Greg Poole That has to be a fun job. If he knocks the ball loose, the players should have to by him a icecream.
Greg Poole McBride had that Phelps game face before Phelps had that Phelps game face.
dsw61 Exactly. It’s possible to be too concerned with interceptions. Taking those risks is what opens up defenses. Even drives that end with an interception can have a positive impact if it makes the defense back off later in the game. And the quarterbacks need to take those shots in a game, not just practice.
Have a good time Alpha and don’t let your wife catch you looking at the women….. 🙂
freddawg Only seems logical that QBs who can make all the throws are going to attempt more throws into tight windows, and more intermediate to longer throws. Doesn’t make sense to me to recruit the big arm QBs if you’re going to play it safe and go with the QB who checks down a lot and doesn’t attempt as many difficult throws in the interest of protecting the ball; why recruit the QBs with the big arms? It’s kind of a given that the big armed QBs are going to have a tendency to air it out; leading to more picks.
Mcbride and whyatt is gonna make our defense even faster!!!
@dsw61 we honeymooned on ST Thomas also and stayed at Bluebeard Castle Hotel overlooking Charlotte harbor which wasn’t a castle at all but an old sugar cane windmill structure. I would like to go back too. The excursion to ST Johns was great and prettier island in my opinion
McBride’s dad:
“Georgia is No. 1 right now for him,” Jason said. “Coach Smart made a good impression on him when he was at Alabama and nd just made it even better when he moved over to Georgia. It is a lot closer, and Georgia was one of his picks then too. Georgia is the leader of all the schools.”

Bulldawg36 That was reported from “other sites” yesterday afternoon.
These people have never been to Athens:

Those fans don’t speak for everyone. I am of the opinion that I can’t set the lineup so I just enjoy the build up to the season and can’t wait to cheer for the Dawgs. The guy who trots out there for first snap will be the guy so why should I stress out about something I can’t control
Who has said Eason is overrated?
The quarterback discussion, especially the part about last year’s passing inefficiency, ignores something that may be important IMO. We didn’t TRY to pass much last year. UGA’s 327 passing attempts was third fewest in the league, ahead of only Auburn and LSU. I was disappointed early in the year when we only attempted 14 passes in our opener against ULM. We never threw over 25 passes in our first 4 games, and then suddenly we had to throw 31, 33, 32, and 34 times in the next 4 games when we got behind, losing 3 of those games. Then we dropped to 19 pass attempts in a snoozer against Kentucky.
It seems to me, if you avoid your weakness against weak teams, and then try to rely on it against better defenses, you’re asking for a problem. Everybody knows we have a strong running game when healthy. To develop a balanced offense, we need to use early games to throw the football as much as possible, get the quarterbacks and receivers up to speed before we reach the critical part of the schedule. At least you learn which quarterback has the best chance of getting to a consistent passing rhythm in real game conditions.
Greg Poole I am looking forward to next week. Like what was discussed on the BI podcast who is going to be third string after second scrimmage?
True. Pruitt also shut Clemson down when he was at FSU. I’m excited about Roquan and Roundtree. They are fast lil jokers! They’re tough as nails
Bulldawg36 Against Clemson when he put in the smaller quicker guys he shut down Clemson, when they were out and needed a break, Clemson got yardage.
It is funny that after one scrimmage the narrative in the fan base suddenly changed from Eason the Savior to chants of “O-ver Ra-ted”. Well, I guess it is better than last year when Park and Ramsey were not given a fair shot.
I have not seen anything (or heard anything from the guys who will make the decision) that moves me off of the position that Eason will start against UNC.
This week scrimmage could change my view and maybe Kirby will address the QBs when we talk with him this afternoon.

Ahh..you may have a point there my friend
Greg Poole Reddawg13 He is one I am counting on to make a showing, should be a beast! Anyone that size that outruns the point guard on the basketball team in a shuttle run is a beast!
I say being Mecole Hardman off the edge on a blitze. I bet he can apply pressure pretty quickly with blazing speed!!!
Bulldawg36 Hurricane season so better rates:)
AlphaDawg Greg Poole Spent 10 days on St Thomas for our honeymoon many years ago. Going to go back one of these days. We stayed at “Point Pleasant Resort”.
Kirby is changing his view on how to stop spread teams by using Smaller LB’s…just like Pruitt did. Pruitt knew how to shut auburn down. He owns auburn and Clemson. I still think we will also have enough size to hold our own vs power running teams as well.
Reddawg13 I haven’t been able to watch him very much, but he is coming along. There is a lot of talent in this freshman class.
You’re welcome fella!
People do forget about him! He’s gonna be great. Can manac..walker and carter put pressure on the qb this year! I think they will!!!
I’m not buying that for a second
Yeah and the stats in there about which schools had what number on scholly, the average height, etc… were a bit of a stretch to make his point. I mean to say that we are in bad company with Bama and LSU as having the fewest WR on rosters is not what I would have done. Our schemes don’t scream that we need volumes of WRs
Bulldawg36 Thanks.
You rock red dawg!!!!
They actually do look chrome, but I know they ain’t
Hey Greg another question, how does Manac look so far?
We might. Especially if Sony can play
Ba hits..now now, we all know Grayson is gonna start the unc game and who knows and if Eason will ever beat him out this year. I want Eason as well but I’m not playing blind to the situation!!!! 18 more days till we will be changing diapers. But who knows really.. Babies come when they want.!!
No I left before that party started…##
