Here is the problem with Richt

This is the kind of stuff about CMR that blows me away. We finally have rythm on offense, ealey has back to back 100+ games (BTW, when that happems under CMR we are something like 42-3), but NO, gotta go baclk to not allowing either RB to get into a groove:

[i]'Ealey figures to get fewer carries against Florida because fellow tailback Caleb King will return from a two-game suspension. King was suspended by coach Mark Richt after being arrested for failing to appear at a court date regarding a speeding ticket.

“Caleb is rested up,” Bobo said, “and I think he’s itching to get back out there and pick up where he left off.”

King started in the last game before his suspension, but Ealey posted back-to-back 100-plus-yard games in King’s absence. Richt said Tuesday that he expects King and Ealey to share the carries against Florida. Richt said he doesn’t know which one will start.'[/i]

I've never understood the "tailback by committee" approach that Richt has always used. I can understand having the 2nd string back give the starter a breather for a series or two, but Richt has always had them share time. Just one of the many problems with Richt, IMO.

It comes from the failed idea that competition ALWAYS makes a better result. In the case of RBs it obviously is not clear cut. RBs, like QBs seem to need to get into the flow of the game. King can sit for all I care. He seems like a dick.

Totally agree, KD.

I agree as well. Could not beleive he was on the sideline for Vandy game. If I was MR and really wanted to send a message he would have not been wearing that jersey while suspended. I would have told him to buy a damn ticket if he wanted to see the game.

Think he needs to earn his spot as starter back by practicing hard and lights out for a few weeks. Starting job is WE's to lose IMHO and CK must go through "a right of passage" to get back on the field. But I am not a coach and have never been in the "arena", so what do I know?

WE will start and get most of the carries if he's still hot. Only an IDIOT would change that.
