Morning guys. Anyone know how has Javon Wims, Shaun McGee, and Kendall Baker looked in summer workouts?
Greg Poole That is right, I was remember it as arm but leg makes sense.
Greg Poole dsw61 BenKellam I like your confidence in Eason being the starter. I hope it’s based on some inside info, or at least based on what you’re hearing among your peers:) Agree about Kirby playing with house money. I just hope he sees it that way. The one thing I know with certainty; Eason will be starting whatever bowl game Georgia gets in.
BenKellam The article doesn’t mention it.
He’s a pretty good back so that is encouraging
Reddawg13 Murray did have a broken leg his senior year in high school. That had some effect on his development.
BahitsAgain Every player would benefit from a redshirt year. In fact, I can’t see any purpose to the redshirt rule. Give players 5 years of eligibility and forget about redshirts.
BahitsAgain I’ve recently watched the entire 2015 UNC – Clemson game, UNC – Pitt game, and started watching the UNC – Virginia game last night. I’ll just say that UNC does not play the way I expected. They seem to live and die on their ability to connect on long passes. They take shots down the field throughout the game when they get man coverage, knowing eventually they will connect on one. Similar to what OSU did to Bama a couple of years ago. Both Pitt and Clemson held Hood to under 100 yds rushing.
dsw61 I think the question is moot. Lambert is not starting for the season unless Eason breaks a leg.
To BenKellam’s comment below, the same logic applies to UNC. If Kirby is ever playing with house money this season, it is against UNC. A loss will not matter and playing Eason against quality competition will serve him will in the coming SEC contests.
Of course, I’m often wrong.
Greg Poole BenKellam Well I’m just wondering if they didn’t control for the players position.
BenKellam The laws of physics do apply, but I don’t see how the stance matters after 10 yards in actual play (practice or game). Perhaps it would be a factor if one were just testing straight line speed covering 10 yards, but that rarely matters in practice.
This phone has a mind of it’s own…linemen!
CMR came from the Bobby Bowdon school of thinking…recruit élite skill players and let them make the line look good. He didn’t use major schollys on linemen…which more than one Coach out there has had sucess with. I like the Pittman approach on line Menschen, though.
Joseph Ledbetter packs my old phone for shipping
BahitsAgain Dang. Put him on kick coverage.
Colonial Dawg BahitsAgain He is a beast. How can a 290 lb man move that fast? Imagine him on the end coming around a corner. Develop his techniques and he will be a QBs worse nightmare.
BahitsAgain When I went to read this article I saw another one that says how the Dawgs are on DT Devonte Wyatt. I think they really need to flip him! And as I write this I see you posted his video above, but I’ve already gone this far so I’m finishing!! 🙂
Mercy! 290lbs moving like this?
We have to flip him!

dsw61 Greg Poole This is exactly why I think that if Lambert does start the UNC game, he won’t make it past the Nichols state game. Is there any reason not to let Eason play that entire game? It would be good experience to get him ready for the heavy hitters later in the season.
Morning dawg!
Cráp, I hate spell check! I meant nice touch on the ball for a hs kid
Greg Poole How does everyone think the fan base will react if Lambert is the starter and the record ends up 9-3, with another mediocre bowl game? The answer to that question is the dilemma Kirby is facing. If he goes with Lambert, he better be extremely confident that Lambert can win the East because if he doesn’t there will tons of second guessing, and the fans and pundits will be saying that Kirby missed an opportunity to get Eason experience for the 2017 season.
Greg Poole Not sure we are in dire need of a high level replacement. provided Eason is who we believe he is, that’s 3 years as starter. I really like what I’ve seen from Fromm, he seems like a bigger stronger A. Murray type of kid. So there is one year RS and hopefully 3 more with him( probably not if he’s as good as I think) but that does cover us for a long period of time, the only problem I see is getting a reliable Backup, we will need to recruit a QB, but I don’t believe our success of failure in the next 5 years will be impacted directly.
Has a nice touchon
Morning, DD!
Greg Poole If Lawrence picks Clemson then my gut feeling is that Emory Jones becomes a real possibility. He’s supposedly narrowed it down to OSU and Tenn though. If Jones is out of the picture then I would probably pass on a QB in 2018 and go all in for a 2019 QB, like Zach Gibson.
BahitsAgain DawgDaddy Greg Poole A LOT more polished than Stafford IMO.. The technology available today for film study and defensive recognition is miles ahead of where it was when Stafford came out.
BahitsAgain Reddawg13 DawgDaddy Greg Poole He would be starting for the KC Chiefs for sure!
Several good articles on DawgNation today. Here is one on the baby blue guys.

Reddawg13 Hell Yeah! #ATD
DawgDaddy Greg Poole Stafford could have benefited from a redshirt, but he still would have been gone early, so we would have only had 2 playing years out of him.
I think Eason is more polished than Stafford.
ed603 hey ed
BahitsAgain Murray or Zeier both would have been #1 draft picks, 2 greats IMO.
Good morning Dawgs! Stay cool out there..
Reddawg13 Greg Poole I hope it didn’t yank some of her brains out with it. She can’t afford to lose any.
Reddawg13 DawgDaddy Greg Poole Eason is also a foot taller and 100 pounds heaver than Murray. lol
ok, a little exaggeration, but Eason is a lot bigger than Murray. Imagine what AM could have done if he had Eason’s body.
Greg Poole She may be going places, but, she is doing so with a bald spot on the side of her head!
DawgDaddy Greg Poole And times have changed since Murray. Did Murray compete in all the 7 on 7’s that Eason has and did he attend all the camps and training Eason has, I don’t know the answer to those questions, but Eason has done everything he can to be ready!
Greg Poole I think BD 36 wants to try it out.
Greg Poole It is dumb. The problem with Kickoffs is you have guys running right at each other often at full speed. It doesn’t matter if they had 5 yards or 50. Often, their intent isn’t to avoid each other and it makes for a big collision.
Moving the distance was to increase touch backs, thus, reduce injuries.
DawgDaddy Greg Poole So you are with me, Greg and MM on the Eason train?
Avon Barksdale Keep improving the offensive line and Georgia will always have a good quarterback.
Greg Poole Her friend looked at her like you dumb #$@ what are you doing?
Obviously I really really really really really want us to get Lawrence but the possible silver lining if he went elsewhere would be that it would make signing two 2018 QBs, and a 2019 QB, exponentially more likely.

Greg Poole To me the choice is obvious but I am biased. Aaron Murray keeps talking about his red shirt year and what it meant and I understand what he is saying. He also was mending from a broken arm his senior season. I also see Eason as way more gifted with physical talent than AM and think if anyone can start as a true freshman QB he is the guy.
Greg Poole Lucky and stupid Russian.
DawgDaddy Greg Poole Me too DD!
Reddawg13 GATA!
Greg Poole So they think Sony doesn’t get enough carries I guess. I think both NC27 and SM1 get 1000.
