    Greg Poole  If they’re gonna regulate all that, they should create a rule to keep Derek Barnett from hitting the quarterback late 6 times a game.  Oh, wait, I forgot that is a rule.

  2. Greg Poole

    DawgLink  I know you don’t mean it in this way, but no longer can a QB be hit low…or high…or hard…and you can not say ugly things to him.   Okay, I made up the last two.

  3. freddawg

    DawgLink I’d probably be a miserable failure, but I’d much rather attack a running qb than lay back and wait on him to turn into an open field runner.  And wasting a LB’er as a “spy” is the dumbest concept I’ve ever heard.

  4. Bansai buckeroo

    Fred I figure he realized what worked in high school was not going to cut it in college. I think he will be just fine..

  5. freddawg

    Bansai buckeroo Glad to hear Rochester’s working hard and lost some weight but if pre-season accolades were worth anything Khalil McKenzie would’ve been all-American last year.  JR will have to keep working hard because it appears that guys who take plays off will be quickly recruited over.

  6. MMCSDAWG

    Bansai buckeroo It’s cold for maybe 5 days a year and the funny thing is it would be in the upper 30’s- 40’s one day and dang near 75 the next.   Don’t get me wrong, I don’t ever want to live in a really cold climate again, but Ga at least normally has 4 seasons!

  7. Bansai buckeroo

    I’ve talked to some people who absolutely love the Jacksonville area and wouldn’t live anywhere else. And you do get some season change there. I’ve been there when’s it’s been down right cold..haha

  8. freddawg

    AlphaDawg  I haven’t watched them that much, but the games I watched from last year they didn’t blitz much.  I hope Kirby blitzes more this year, because right now our defense needs that to succeed IMO.

  9. MMCSDAWG

    Bansai buckeroo It has it’s moments, but I’m seriously considering moving back up to Ga in a couple of years.

  10. AlphaDawg

    Greg Poole Aside from needing to pressure the QB it seems Bama plays assignment and disciplined football to have such great defenses, but low sack rankings.

  11. freddawg

    dsw61  Not completely under the radar.  Barrett Sallee says we have no talent on defense, so obviously he got a good look.

  12. freddawg

    dsw61 Yeah, tackle counts aren’t a particularly useful stat for several reasons.  I hope our defensive players do have fewer tackles than last year.  That would mean opposing offenses ran fewer plays (and hopefully didn’t score quickly).

  13. Greg Poole

    Sacking the quarterback will get you to the SEC championship game:
    Last season, the teams that played in the SEC championship game – Alabama and Florida – http://www.cfbstats.com/2015/leader/911/team/offense/split01/category20/sort01.html.
    In 2014, the division champs were Missouri in the East (first in the league in sacks) and Alabama in the West (fifth in sacks).
    In 2013, the title game had Missouri and Auburn. Missouri was first in sacks, Auburn third – and first among West teams.
    In 2012, the SEC title game had Alabama (third in sacks) and Georgia (fifth).
    In 2011, LSU (first in sacks) and Georgia (second) played for the SEC title.
    In 2010, South Carolina (first in sacks) and Auburn (third) squared off in Atlanta.
    In 2009, the championship game featured Florida (first in sacks) and Alabama (third).
    In 2008, Florida (second in sacks) and Alabama (seventh) played for the SEC crown. It’s the only time in the past decade a division winner didn’t rank in the top five in the league in sacks.
    In 2007, LSU (second in sacks) and Tennessee (fifth) played for the conference banner.
    In 2006, Arkansas (second in sacks) and Florida (third) made the trip to Atlanta.

    Don’t think I could live in Florida unless it was on the beach with a constant breeze…. 🙂

  15. Greg Poole

    dsw61  That is the same a predicting success/failure of returning starters. It sounds way more helpful than it is.

  16. MMCSDAWG

    Bansai buckeroo Florida too!  Course we don’t get much winter or actual Cold weather around here anyway.

  17. dsw61

    Greg Poole godawgs678 After watching his presser, Roquan strikes me as a super star in the making. There is a vibe about him that is just different. Seems like some of Georgia’s young LBs are seriously flying under the radar right now  with the national media.

  18. AlphaDawg

    Greg Poole That’s a substantial about of money by donors. Shows you it should and could have been done a long time ago.

  19. Greg Poole

    godawgs678  I stood directly in front of him during the interview yesterday. He has, obviously, put on weight, but looks trim and fit. I think he said he is at 230 now, but don’t remember esatly.

  20. dsw61

    Does anyone else think it’s weird to have beat writers and pundits fret over the number of total tackles a team is losing when players graduate or get drafted. For instance, I keep reading how many combined tackles Georgia will be missing because Jenkins, Ganus and Floyd are gone. Are Natraz, Reggie Carter, Bellamy, LoCar, and Roquan not going to be tackling this season? Everyone also keeps leaving out the fact that Jenkins was limited much of last year because of his groin injury. He had zero tackles in the Tennessee game, and didn’t even play in the second half. Just saying that there is a decent chance that the LB group this year is going to be as good or better as a whole as  last year, when you factor in Jenkin’s injury, and the fact that Ganus relied more on his experience and football IQ than his athleticism.

  21. dsw61

    godawgs678 Notice how Roquan Smith is getting very little national attention prior to the season. If he stays healthy, watch what happens to his stock as the season progresses. same with Natrez, although I have heard one national pundit mention his name as a player everyone will be talking about by the end of the season, provided he stays healthy.

    haws1178 Oh, it has been brutal here too, and the heat returns tomorrow.  That’s why I’m looking forward to (hopefully) a little relief!
