Improvement Really ?

If our head coach and OC had the killer instinct, in three games this year we would have had a big enough lead at halftime to let Boo run and see what he could do.

But we they don't, so he didn't.

My take on Boo (Malcome) is he needs to see some serious playing time to see what is really there. Coastal Carolina would have been a good time. Some players just can't practice at the same intensity as they do in games. It is not lazy or attitude it's more of a psychological thing. I was that way when I played sports.

YES....been saying the same thing.....Samuel is a DGD but a terrible RB. Decent blocker and receiver though (pretty good hands)

Samuel's only value as a runner for this team is charging straight ahead like a bull and moving a
pile. Sort of a 3rd or 4th and very short type of back.

Unfortunately... in those situations this coaching staff will probably either throw the ball, have Samuel
run a stretch play that gets him moving sideways instead of downhill, or have Carlton run it straight up the gut while Samuel watches from the sidelines.

I really HATE it that Richard Samuel had to switch positions TWICE in 3 years. We have ruined the career of what I thought could've been an All-SEC caliber linebacker. Maybe not but I swear this young man had boatloads of potential, & we just wasted it.

RS was ONLY a 17 yr. old kid when he dressed for his first game at UGA. He's obviously a team 1st player as proved by his willingness to switch positions twice now but I agree, he just doesn't have the necessary balance to be a RB. Me & my buddies often comment on how often he falls down w/o being tackled. Anyways, with Boo Malcome returning to the team, I really think the coaching staff should move RS back to LB (where he belongs) so that he at least has a chance of getting some playing time on defense next season as a red-shirt Senior. But then again, I'm clearly not qualified to be the head coach, let alone an advisor to the UGA staff.

GO Richard Samuel-GO DAWGS!!!

Absolutely and totally with you on ^^^^^^^^^^^ Goose. Samuels is just one case of the type of mistakes that have been made. Truthfully, it is sad. TKS RS.

Blazing fast but as stated no balance or vision.
