G.A.T.A.

Not sure how many of you gentlemen are active on Twitter, but I am. I happen to follow alot of our players on there. There are plenty of times I see things written by these young men, that I think should remain in live conversation, but none the less....

One thing I HAVE noticed. Alot of our kids are ending thier online speak w/ the #GATA hashtag. Or, simply typing G.A.T.A.

Dont know about you gents, but this lets me know one thing. It's a different year in Athens fellas. Coach T has implemented something in these boys brains. (Via the great Erk of course) It seems to be sticking. I, for one, think these boys are PISSED OFF. Lets hope that rage carries onto the field this year, and the field ONLY. If Coach T has been able to get these group righted back to the GATA attitude that we all know and love, special things are bound to happen.

As Always,

GO DAWGS, G.A.T.A

DAWG1277, you are making my day with this thread. Where Coach JTII is picking up with these young players and where Grantham left off, got to believe that somone is listening, or better be listening. These two coaches are old school and excuses will land your butt on the pines. Hear anything being said about Lakatos?

Still keeping my eyes on the Offensive Line. Crossed fingers.

Buc, I have not heard a thing about Lakatos. Not sure if thats a good thing, or bad? Then again, how often do you see a DB coach in the spotlight? Not often for myself.

You are right about the OL. That has to be a bright spot on the team for ultimate success. I dont care who you have running the rock. Maybe IC can make our OL look like the best in the conference.

One thing great about having IC is you don't HAVE to run straight at the D. If our OL turns out to be average (last year) then we have a RB now that can execute misdirection plays that wouldn't require the OL to knock people off the ball and maintain blocks.

So you're right DAWG1277, IC can and probably will make our OL look good. Hope it's the other way around though.

Good stuff DAWG1277/wlayton. Bold paragraph speaks volumes. Turning on a dime like Isaiah does is a huge plus for the offensive line. This is where Arthur Lynch is going to be a huge success, I think. Big, powerful Tight End that will lock horns with most anyone. Crowell is going to love this man. Bruce Figgins moving forward from the backfield might open some eyes and holes also.

This years offense could be really good, talent on that side of the ball. When the O and the D start practicing against each other again . . . both sides should improve greatly over last years edition. Richt has said more than once that he has taken the gloves off and he is going to let these guys go at it.

My wife is going to be mad when she gets back from the pool and I am all jacked up whoopin' and hollerin' wanting to run someone over.
