Forget trying to figure it out

This quote says a lot. "At the beginning of the quarter, Coach [Mark] Richt told us we needed to play with all of our heart and leave it all on the field," wide receiver Kris Durham said.

What, were they not supposed to start the game that way? Did something change? Why does it take something extra to motivate our guys to play hard every play. A team meeting at the beginning of the fourth, black jerseys or helmets...etc. Why can we not prepare during the week then come out focused, on a mission and execute with an attitude? Is that too much to ask?

No one is perfect, even Bear bryant had some 6 and 5 seasons he just didnt have the internet, LOL. Im as pizzed as yall are!!!!!!

Also, alot of the plays the Dawgs worked on in the preseason were probably designed with him in mind. Green's absence required the Dawgs to change their playbook and play alot more conservatively than they normally would. Other receivers can't run the routes that he can and would result in interceptions if they tried to run the same stuff without him.

It would be funny if UGA was an entirely different team when he comes back though. Can you imagine Florida getting beat by a 3-5 or 4-4 Dawg team? That alone right there would make the season.

It just seems that we are not playing with heart. I dont know if the players are feeding off the coaches or what. All I know is that we need to GATA! I will say that I liked the play we had in the 4th quarter. I still cant understand the play calling on the 3rd and 4 at the end. Or why they had so many rec. open down field for the long ball. Maybe, these guys have been corrupted for too long by WM. But changes start at the top! Attitude and mindset included.

Of course, as I'm sure we prepared a game plan with him in mind for the OSU game last year, where we scored 10, Lsu where we scored 13, Tenn where we scored 19 (and gave up 45), and UF where we scored 17 and gave up 41. AJ is a great player, but is not the savior of this team. Like I said earlier, if he is, then some people may want to find a new team to pull for next year as some think it is impossible to win without AJ playing.

A team that designs the whole game plan around one player is destined to fail. And it appears that is what we have done. You cannot do that. Yes, I think coming into this season he was our go to guy to help AM make the transition. And I think we put all of our eggs into one basket with him. If we are goin to right this ship, we cannot be one dimensional. It just seems like this team believes like he is our saving grace and that they cannot win without him. Yes, IT SUCKS not having someone with his talent on the field. But he didn't hang the moon.
