Good thread here Buc & the gang!
My 2 cents:
Feel certain that CTGs defense will play that aggressive, attacking, big hitting style that we haven't seen since BVG left Athens. I can't wait! Sure, they'll make get caught out of position on occasion, give up some big plays, and cause me to use some rated R language from Sec. 326 but you know what, if we can get some 3 & outs, force some turnovers & bare with me, actually put some points on the scoreboard while our offense is sipping on Powerade, I'll take the \"learning curve mistakes\" all season long.
As for the offense, a big portion of it hinges on how quickly (or how slowly) one of our young QBs figure out how to succeed in the rugged SEC. I'm not as sold on AM as most seem to be (haven't seen enough of any of em' to truly evaluate at this early stage) but I'll just say this, may the best man win the starting job whoever it may be (LG, AM, ZM, HM, some unknown walk-on, I really don't care, just protect the football & \"manage\" the offense). My bigger concern is the playcalling of CMB. Critical year for Coach Bobo IMO. I'm obviously rooting hard for him but this jury is out. Really hope we see about 65% run to pass this year. Like wlayton, I'm not yet convinced that either Ealey or King are all-american caliber RBs but I darn sure feel confident that they are more than capable of carrying the load and being the focal point of the Dawgs offense. The only think I'm sure about concerning our offense is that AJ Green is gonna be unstoppable. He's already the best WR (by far) that I've ever seen don the Red & Black and he's only gonna be bigger, better, stronger, faster this year. Good luck SEC DBs, you're all gonna need it! Lastly, I think if CMR gets more involved in the offensive game planning we'll be even better; we shall soon see.
Anybody else here wishing that Carlton Thomas (seems to be a forgotten man) would get some more touches in space? I really think he could become an even better version of the diminutive but explosive Tyson Browning if given the opportunity.
