wlayton, not only doubling the workout, but bringing back the two-a-days would be helpful, too, I'm sure. Several analysts knew taking away the two-a-days was going to be a mistake.

Buc, hadn't heard that about RG, but it makes sense. I just hope Richt takes this opportunity to re-assign personnel as needed and get going in the right direction. Not sure he will, but I'm hoping!!!!

The SMART era CONTINUES!!!!!!

Having been in construction for forty years, I know a little about management.
Sometimes you shake up the crews, switch people around, whatever.
Productivity doubles.
Sometimes employees get a little too comfortable.

Buc believe Geathers and Anderson have been injured. Really needed them this year.

I tell you a couple big IFS.

1. IF we can get the JUCO kid we are hard after in here (jenkins, 6-4 340) then we can have a big 3-4 front three next year. It would allow us to put this out on the field

DE-Geathers, 325 SO
NT-Jenkins, 340 JR
DE-Anderson, 340 SR

NT/DE-Tyson 300 SR
DE- Mayes 300 Fr

would add some size up front to push OL back a little

BulldogShannon, that would be a lot of size for sure. Here is what is eating at my craw.

During the Florida game, their offenisve line was talking and basically laughing at UGA. They had been informed apparently in their game plan that UGA was totally out of shape.

The more I look back at the second half of all close games, it is apparent that we are not physically ready to play SEC football. I hate saying that, however watch some of our games, especially the second half play on both sides of the ball, and our o and d lines look like they would rather be on the sideline. Apparently some of the same chatter was coming from the Auburn players. It was noticeable, especially when I go back and review the film. Tech appeared to be in much better shape, really hate saying that.

I am going full tilt here with sadlerdawg . . . . Richt needs to forget about friendship and coaching football with friends. This has been said before and now it is front page material. Our strength coach is a failure. Don't think so, watch some of this years film and judge for yourself as to which o and d lines are kicking butt. Changing practice setup toward the end of the season. I am concerned about a couple of things.

Here is a bit more information. I also know that we went into overtime with Florida, maybe they had some problems also, however, check out the comments from them, Auburn is doing the same.

Florida's offensive players really enjoyed installing the no-huddle up-tempo offense during the bye week because they knew if they ran it correctly that the Georgia defense would be overwhelmed.

And they really, really enjoyed watching the Bulldogs struggling in the fourth quarter.

"It's fun seeing 300-pound linemen wheezing for air and you're fine," offensive lineman Carl Johnson said. "The D-line, they're wheezing and you're like, 'He's tired. He's tired.'"
Johnson took particular pleasure in talking some trash during the game.

"When 31 [defensive end Demarcus Dobbs] got hurt, I was pointing [and saying], 'He's tired. He's not really hurt.' He was just tired and faked an injury to get out of there, stop the clock. If he didn't, we were on the ball, ready to go again, they were gassed."

It's one of the few times that an offensive lineman can get in some digs about being in better shape, and Johnson said he savored that feeling.

"You feel like you own them a little bit," Johnson said. "'You're blown, you're tired, you're gasping. I'm fine.' It's fun."

Freshman H-back Trey Burton said he could tell pretty quickly the defense was going to be gasping in the fourth quarter.

"The first quarter, they were done," Burton said. "They were about to tap out after a while."

Good posts fella's. Coming in a little late, but I agree with everything about our S and C program. Something has to change. Tired of seeing our guys get whipped up front, DB's unable to get off blocks, RB's struggle breaking tackles, and the list goes on. I believe that is the biggest area of concern. Could also be a big factor for the reason we are not seeing talent develop the way we feel it should be.

Got a funny feeling about recruiting. Richt is playing all the cards. Samuel L Jackson, although I am not particularly a big fan, on the sidelines. Recruits got to meet him. Place was booming, and ultimately we got the win. Should give a big boost to recruiting. Richt is doing everything that he possibly can to get IC. Glad to finally see this from him.

After the UC loss, I have to admit Richt has definitely stepped up. Coaching, Recruiting, and don't want to curse us, but I haven't heard of any legal troubles lately either. Wish it hadn't taken him so long to light the fire so to say, but he has it burning. Great things are possible to happen when a man is fighting for all that he has. Hopefully he continues to address areas that need a helping hand, or a new hand.

If I would recommend anything to Richt it would be this:

Use the next 2 weeks as spring practice. Scrimmage, and make sure the intensity in practice is the same that it is in spring ball. You guys all remember what it was like to finally get to put the pads on in spring. Make sure that they are practicing with that same mindset. Great learning period and a great start to the off season.

Secondly, make sure you get the S and C program to where it needs to be. The AD has offered to do anything needed to win. It starts here. Whether it be hiring a SC coach, or shaking things up a little, whatever you have to do to keep these guys motivated, determined, and focused in that weight room.

Thirdly, start next year with no fear. Hey, I would be pulling out everything. Totally aggressive. If I going out, I would go out the right way. Balls to the wall, blaze of glory, however you want to describe it. Be Fearless right off the bat. No conservative play calling. Go for the kill right out of the gate and keep throwing blows until the game is over.

GO DAWGS
