Richard Lays It Out

Below is a link to 680 Radio and Richard Samuel discussing the season ahead. Takes time to talk about last season, and talks about the teams feelings with Boise State in ATL.

Many on this board, including myself, want to see what Isaiah Crowell is going to do. I am excited about IC, do however believe that Richard Samuel is going to make believers of the Blue Team in ATL. Mentioned in another post that he is WILLING and WILL go headgear to headgear. Step up "Bean" . . . . . you are probably the best run blocker on that offensive line.

Take the time to listen to Richard Samuel, intoxicating, to say the least. Really like the fact that UGA is allowing these young players to say exactly what they think. Tough questions, straight forward answers. Good on you Richard Samuels. A true Dawg.

To get to the conversation, move the time cursor to 7:55 and after the break, move the time cursor to 20:52. Richard Samuel is looking forward to ATL.

Buc, this was a great interview. I like his style of running of running through people as opposed to around them. Plus his up to 240lbs, but kept his speed, or so he says lol. You know I've bought into the "team mentality". Hearing him talking about last year and this year and they're working together as a team was great.

justlow, same as you. I really like the team talk coming from different players. Have heard it in years past, somehow this time it sounds real. Guess it is close enough to show time to start drinking the "Cherry Flavored Kool-Aid". Play hard fellows, can't ask for anything more.

Will discuss the coaching later on, not drinking that Kool-Aid . . . . yet.

Definitely leave the coaching for a later discussion lol. I agree with you, we've heard it before but this time IS different. I guess with the players that left/kicked off the team. It just seems like Coach Richt is being proactive this year. He's trying to make changes to the culture in Athens. To me, that is the difference.

Not to be disagreeable, but what happened on Richt's watch belongs to Richt. There is not a lot of room on the UGA coaching staff for those that are not up for change. Think McGarity will make sure that 6-7 seasons are a thing of the past.

Personally, hope Richt gets through this and figures out how to take the talent laden Dawgs year after year to their rightful place in college football. Like I mentioned above, will wait on drinking the kool-aid . . . when I see the change, not hear it, will be first in line.

I agree 100% it is Richt's fault. I didn't mean to imply otherwise. He is the captain of the ship. If there were atheletes on the team that were bring others down, deal with it then. He should have dealt with the off field issues in 2008, not 2011.
