For some reason after reading all of the posts day after day, I keep falling back to a lack of not knowing or something that I cannot explain.
It was said that the player or players had been rehearsed on the possibilities of a situation. Not the first time this has happened to us or other teams for that matter. I call it passing the buck, much like Buck Belue does.
Excuses look the same if you go back year after year, nothing novel about excuses.
My wife always asks me the same question, year after year . . . . Now what do you want the Dawgs make the other team do in a punting situation? I always obediently answer, make them punt the football. I swear to all on this board, that happens every game. The wife knows, understands football, great to watch games with her. Yes she does jump out of the sitting position and on occasion utters words that make me know she is involved. She graduated UGA 1971, was in Angel Flight, was on the turf often. Understands UGA when it was Saturday and Bourban and Coke.
Got off track there. What's new. Until we get the down linemen game figured out, things might change, but not to such an extent that we win National Championships. Folks get hurt, that is understandable. This regime in my opinion has missed the boat on the defensive and offensive side of the ball in the trenches. Appears that Grantham is on the way or trying to move forward on his side of coaching. That is the way it should be, he is the Defensive Coordinator.
Over too many years now I have watched the other side of the ball go for flash and dash. If we are unable to protect our quarterback, don't care who you have in the backfield or split out, not gonna win the big games.
Anyone watch the LSU defensive line last night? In a way I understand some of the things that happened to Miss State, they had been in a huge fight with Auburn the week before. LSU had not been. We will see how that plays out for us down the road in JAX. Many have said over the years that we needed to have a bye week prior to Florida. Not sure, think that is the same bye week for them. So, guess we or the team from Florida have no excuses this season.
Do I think that Richt and company will leave this year. Nope. McGarity and Richt settled on that in their private talks. Do find it interesting that President Adams has gone public about getting the fans and alumni to support the football team. The true fans and alumni have and will support the players, those that are commited to a cause, that is not the problem. Problem stems from the top and begins with President Adams and filters down. Called the chain of command, that is how this works. Adams has deep concerns . . . going into the locker room, calling for support. Think more than one of us mentioned this would come to pass.
Go Dawgs . . . coach them up. . .
