Greg Poole Bulldawg36 And he can be a Vital asset and mentor for young Eason as he begins his journey thru his first year in the SEC!
Greg Poole Simple, he is the most talented. Everyone is learning a new offense, everyone is new to Cheney and co, so play the guy that has the most upside and imo that is Eason. Sometimes the worst mistake you can make is to try and never make a mistake. Having a QB in the pocket that has the mentality of not wanting to make a mistake is asking for an offense that can’t put a TD on the board against Mizz and/or and offense that looks like an FBS team against Vandy. I’m sorry the past does matter and I know a lot of people will put most if not all the blame on Shotty, but that simply doesn’t explain the ineptitude shown by our offense last year. To me, it was trying to do exactly what I said, Not make mistakes. I’ll take 3 turnovers if we can put 38 points on the board. We loved Stafford and even Aaron Murray, but they made tons of mistakes and actually had much higher turnover ratio’s than Lambert had. The difference is they put 13 pts more per game on the scoreboard and we relied on our defense to also help out and create turnovers. I DO NOT want or expect to see another season of offense like last season and I know, not matter who starts, we will be fine and I expect Chaney to return our team to being a leader in Pts/game in the SEC. GO DAWGS!
15 days till kickoff ! It’s getting surreal!!!!
Terrell committed to Clemson. No surprise. I know we’re probably still recruiting him, and I’m not trying to be negative, but he’s not a college cornerback IMO. Safety is where he will play. Jake Rowe thinks he’s a lock down cover corner, but not quick enough IMO.
Yep he is. If he does start this season I hope he goes out with a bang!
Bulldawg36 Lambert is a DGD who has done everything he can to win games for UGA.
Beat unc

Lambert will always be the Dude that destroyed the chickens!!! 52-20!!! Still love it!!!!!!
DawgByte Greg Poole exactly what I was gonna say D B !!!
MMCSDAWG Times like these I wish Twitter would allow more than 140 characters
Wish I could find video, but this has got to be a first… of course he did go to UF.

How will Trubisky fare against a Nick Saban-style defense?
One of the ironies about Smart’s hiring at Georgia is that he probably won’t change the Dawgs’ offense or defense all that much.
For the last two years, their defense was already Saban-izing under former (and now current) Tide defensive coach Jeremy Pruitt. Smart comes from the Saban tree, too, and he is unlikely to make drastic changes with new coordinator Mel Tucker. The offense will still feature pro-style formations and http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2016/5/3/11519752/nick-chubb-georgia-bulldogs-football-2016-jim-chaney-kirby-smart to get the most out of backs like Chubb.
For Trubisky, this will make for an interesting first start.
The Dawg defense will be more talented than any non-Clemson unit the Tar Heels faced last year, and it’ll also be harder to read and attack. Smart is bringing a combination of pattern-reading Cover 3 schemes, as well as some diverse quarters coverages, to help muck up reads for quarterbacks and get the most out of a skilled secondary.
Georgia’s front seven is graduation-depleted entering the season, but the secondary returns all five of its nickel starters and also adds Alabama transfer Maurice Smith. Matching spread sets with fully loaded defensive sub-packages won’t be an issue. Up front, pass-rushing outside linebacker/defensive end Lorenzo Carter can bring some pressure and help to lead a young but talented group.

The case for Eason
http://georgia.247sports.com/Bolt/Making-a-case-Jacob-Eason-46831802
Heisman candidates1. http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/players/playerpage/2131579/nick-chubb, http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/teams/page/UGA/georgia-bulldogs
When Chubb went down last season in Georgia’s game against Tennessee, it broke my heart. Not just because the injury was gruesome to behold — just thinking about it still sends shivers down my spine — but because Chubb is just so damn good, and while you never want to see anybody hurt, you especially don’t want to see guys with such incredible talent go down.
And Chubb is talented, man. So, so very talented.
Before the injury, Chubb had averaged 149 yards and 1.4 touchdowns per game through five games, and that includes a 146 yards and a 7.3 yards per carry performance against Alabama. If you extrapolate those numbers across a 13-game season, Chubb finishes 2015 with 1,937 yards and 18 touchdowns.
In other words, if he doesn’t get hurt, he’s probably a Heisman finalist last year.

Bulldawg Bob2 obviously that’s some musicians (like Slash) playing with Billy Gibbons, not actually ZZTop, but still great. I saw ZZTop in Columbus a few years back and they were still as great as ever—plus it’s fun when your teenage kids like the musicians that we grew up with better than the “so-called” musicians of today—-IMO a big difference

Greg Poole Not sure I agree with the first sentence. IMO we absolutely should be chasing Alabama’s standard of success. If not, Kirby wouldn’t be in this business and accepted the head coaching job at Georgia? I’m sure Kirby believes he can bring a similar level of success at UGA. His drive is readily apparent to all. Now if you’re saying it will be hard to emulate Bama’s success right out of the gate, I would agree with that position.
skidawaydawg I agree, somewhat. We do have several tests before that game, and we’ll learn a lot by how the team responds to adversity. I want to beat Tennessee as bad as anyone, but wouldn’t let any one game define the season, especially if we have a freshman qb, who will have good and bad games as he matures.
If that’s a case for Ramsey, he should sue for malpractice.
For Ramsey it seems to be all about decision making because he has the physical tools. If he hasn’t porogressed to the level that the staff can trust him then I’m afraid it may be too late for him to have an impact for Georgia as a QB.
Greg Poole Man another great interview – I am really excited about the type of young men we have on this team – this guy is gonna be good ,I can feel it !
DawgByte freddawg I don’t think we will know about this team until after the TN game.
I agree . It’s equivalent to throwing darts on a wall.
dsw61 RobDawg Or, just get a big walk in freezer and have him spend 30 minutes in there, then box his ears.
WillieWalden Who can resist a shirtless Harbaugh? ###
Here’s Munson’s call, don’t know why they cut the video off before the play ends.

RobDawg He had his fedora.
RobDawg He needs to go up in mid to late January.
WillieWalden He’s worth pursuing. I went to that high school and my parents are still administrators there so they talk to him all the time. We’re definitely not out of it.
RobDawg Probably my clearest memory of an old Georgia game is the play where Herschel passed Tony Dorsett’s freshman rushing record. There was a lot of hype building up to the chance he’d do it. Got late in the game and Herschel took off around the right end. When he broke into the open, the stadium went nuts. I remember watching him run through a storm of cups and ice and liquor in the stadium air.
Ole Pepper…
Bansai I still build em. Much more attention to detail now as an adult. I have built almost all the major fighter planes of WW2 in 1:48 scale. I’ve had one in process for about a year now and stalled just cause I got busy. It’s an Italian Macchi 202 and this reminder may get me motivated to start it up again
Nothing at all wrong with that. Investing in future

Smart is a first-time head coach, and while Georgia is one of the most attractive jobs in college football, chasing Alabama’s standard of success can be foolish. For now, it’s hard to know what to make of the Bulldogs in 2016. Smart is a great defensive coach, and he hired a good offensive coordinator in Jim Chaney. The offensive line has experience, and if star tailback Nick Chubb, who injured his knee last October, and Sony Michel, who broke his forearm last month, are healthy, the Bulldogs can have a dominant ground game. There are, however, questions in the passing game, with a lack of proven weapons at receiver and the ongoing quarterback debate as Smart decides between playing true freshman phenom Jacob Eason or incumbent Greyson Lambert (or Brice Ramsey, who has spent more time at punter than quarterback).There’s also talent in the defensive front, but a question of how quickly Smart builds depth — especially with tough games against the North Carolina, Ole Miss and Tennessee offenses early in the year. It’s unreasonable to expect an SEC title in Smart’s first year at Georgia, and the Bulldogs are unlikely to win the SEC East either. Last year’s results may have gotten Richt fired, but ultimately Georgia should hope to get the running game going, keep Chubb and Michel healthy once on the field and start preparing Eason for the future, with matching 2015’s results — minus the embarrassing losses — an acceptable target.

Remember it well and got a face full of bourbon and Coke from the man in front of me who went nuts and lost control
Georgia is 5th in someone’s SEC power rankings
http://www.dawgsports.com/2016/8/19/12553674/georgia-bulldogs-no-5-in-initial-sec-power-rankings
I was at that game. Lots of people left at halftime and missed one of the greatest Georgia comebacks ever.
We need to encourage a trip up there in Nov Dec when the snot in your nose freezes and let him experience Michigan in its true bleak ugly glory
DawgByte We obviously will play some inexperience guys up front, though hopefully we’ll stay healthy enough to use them sparingly. But I bet plenty of those ranked ahead of us have less talent and not much depth.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilb42bd0BLA
freddawg DawgByte It’s all speculation at this point and the mad news stories (as the Brits would say) are hitting the press in high velocity. I’m starting to tune it out, because it’s all meaningless. We’ll basically know what we have following the conclusion of the UNC game.
Goooooooo Georgia Bulldawgs!!! It’s time!!!!!
Pretty weak case if you ask me..
DawgByte I thought so too. At least they have us one spot ahead of Ga Southern.

freddawg Greg Poole LOL, that’s a joke!
Bleudawg Greg Poole The last few years our girls were moving in, we caved and hired Campus Bellhops. Worth every penny.
https://getbellhops.com/
