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.

    Greg Poole The reason our run game sputtered is because our O line was only average and teams stacked the box because our QB play was bad.

  5. Greg Poole

    Emerson is wrong here:

    “The reason that Georgia’s run game sputtered without Chubb – not that it was great before his injury – was that you no longer had the double-punch of two dynamic tailbacks.”

    The reason is that Sony is not tackle-breaker who can beat an inside linebacker and that is what UGA’s inside run game was based on – get a back in a one-on-one with a backer.

    The following stat is not surprising:

    Georgia returns its two leading rushers from a year ago, http://espn.go.com/college-football/player/_/id/3128720/nick-chubb and http://espn.go.com/college-football/player/_/id/3128721/sony-michel. The two combined for 1,908 yards on the ground despite Chubb suffering a season-ending knee injury on the first play against Tennessee on Oct. 10. That’s more than 38 FBSteams had for the entire season. They also accounted for over 76 percent of Georgia’s rushing game.

    An example of how a little shoulder tilt naturally leads to a more over the top throwing motion. Fromm is similar. When you throw with some shoulder tilt, the throwing arm and torso finish more…”around” towards the opposite side in a very smooth fashion. The finish when throwing with level shoulders is typically more of a forward bend at the waist.

    dsw61 Yep. There are too many bigger kids on the board for him to get an offer from this staff, IMHO.

    Greg Poole Good interview…but makes me kind of sad. Kid clearly wants to play for Georgia.

  20. Greg Poole

    dsw61 The kid just graduated from high school. Given a few years of exp[erience, he will not try to force a piece like that. But keep an eye on him, his name will pop up in bylines in about 5 years.

    Greg Poole Agree the article is well written…but as you say, I don’t agree with all of his points. The starting QB decision will be one of Kirby’s most important decisions as a head coach. I suspect he will rely on Chaney a lot to make that determination. I still believe that the ease with which Kirby’s defense handled Lambert last year is in the back of Kirby’s mind and will play a roll in the decision. Kirby is not a fan of QBs that aren’t very mobile. Buck Belue seems to think that the best path is to scale back the offense to a manageable level for Eason and start him. The other option is to start Lambert and let him manage a more complex offense.

  23. Greg Poole

    dsw61 All of that is true, and I didn’t voice any opposition to the pitch. The notion of amateurism is a sham along with the “student-athlete” – in the revenue sports.

    Greg Poole There’s really no age limit on when a person can get and education. HS baseball players routinely skip college to follow their dream of playing MLB baseball. Nick Moore is an example of a kid who put off college to follow his baseball dream. It didn’t work out and he’s now in college. Kids who go into the military typically forgo college until after the military. I’ve always felt that athletes have a relatively short window of opportunity to make it in professional sports, and I have no problem with them chasing that dream. An argument can be made that if football was set up like baseball with a minor league system, the players would be better off because they could devote all their time to developing themselves as football players; while also making some money. There’s also a myth that a college education guarantees a person will be successful. There are many people with college degrees who are barely getting by because their profession of choice doesn’t pay well or they’re not good at what they do. Professional sports is a legit way to earn a living for a small segment of the population and I see nothing wrong with promoting it. Promoting it can provide some extra motivation for a kid to work harder in the weight room and at practice; increasing their chances of making it in the NFL.

    Greg Poole that 3rd reason is invalid, the only chance any of the kids on scholarship deserve is the chance to compete in practice and thereby earn playing time.

    Smart’s track record shows that he should undoubtedly help the Bulldogs’ defense in 2016, but what North Carolina will have to look out for most is Georgia’s offensive attack. While the Bulldogs have yet to name a starting quarterback for the season opener, the presence of running back Nick Chubb in the backfield will test the Tar Heels’ rush defense, which was horrid in 2015. Chubb rushed for 745 yards and seven touchdowns in five games a season ago before tearing multiple ligaments in his left knee on his first carry against Tennessee — an injury that caused him to miss the rest of the season. If Chubb is anything like his old self on Sept. 3, North Carolina will have its hands full and then some against the Bulldogs.
