Georgia defense the best in SEC East?

The secondary redemption

We all heard about fast, physical and skilled our DBs are with Rambo, Jakar, Nick and Shawn. Praise from CMR and CTG have been encouraging to the Bulldog nation. I love the youth that this group has, they will becoming vets at this next season.

SEC defensive player of the year?

The last scrimmage held Justin Houston did not play much because Mike Bobo wanted to be able to run plays without Houston blowing them up every down. Barring injury, Houston will be defensive player of the year in the SEC. you heard it here first my friends.

Hot Mike, I sure hope that you are right. I have no doubt that we will be a much improved D than we were last year. I definitely not going to say that we can't be the best D in the SEC, but I am also trying to keep in mind that this is CTG first year inplementing his system and his first crack at the offenses in the SEC.

Here are the things that I am looking for from a personal point of view.

I want to see a fast, physical D flying around. Guys playing for each other, not looking to point fingers at each other when someone slips up. What I saw in Knoxville last year, with the busted coverages, the finger pointing in the middle of the play instead of hustling your tail off to make up for teammates mistake, made me sick. It was the furthest thing from the proud tradition that UGA takes in their D that I have seen. I want the nasty D back. The D that knows football only as a violent collision sport. When receivers are scared to go across the middle for fear that their head will not be attached to their shoulders after they do. QB's are wondering where they are getting ready to get hit from. RB's are trying to find a place to fall because they are tired of getting blasted all day long. I want to see our D playing with that mindset.

I realize that teams are going to hit some plays. That is just SEC football. But I just want to see that nasty, we are meaner than you mentality, that we have grown to love.

Sorry for the long post, I am just getting way to excited.

Oh yeah, I think DG might just have an All American year at OLB as well. The guys has shown glimpses at times. Hopefully, he does it for all 12 games instead of 4.

Last year, they could have easily won 9 games. The LSU and UK games come to mind where poor defensive play just manifested itself in closing out the game. I think our offense is better overall and the defense cant get any worse and we have easier schedule than the past 2 years.

Looking around the different sites - all of the ones I found had us in the bottom half of the SEC - one even has us at #10 - most were around #8

Several actually had the chicken defense rated above bama - will be watching them Thursday to see how they handle so miss - if they are that good - they should handle them pretty well - don't know how the hotelgate issue will impact their defense - we'll see

Guess most see this to be a transition year for the defense - which I agree - we will make a few mistakes - but I believe that by the end of the year - the junkyard dawgs will have a good representation on the best defenders in the SEC list

We've all heard of Erk's most famous acronym, GATA. I'd now like to relate what I hope will become the TAO of Todd. TAO = Three And Out. Every possession. THREE AND OUT!
