UGA Board Participation

Agree on the FB's. Need to become more involved. Believe LSU's fb is having CMR re-evaluate his stance on FB's. Bruce was ok, he tried and is a great Dawg, but he was never looking to deliver that knockout blow. Need a guy there that is wanting to punish someone every play, just as you do someone to catch the football and be able to pound it in there for the tough yard.

I think my biggest watchout it going to be for the 2 kickers, and Sheldon Dawson. CB scares me a little. Boykin was very solid, and SC was our best cover corner. Need immediate help here.

GO DAWGS

Really hard for me to understand how we can run the pro set (the way we utilize it) and not have a solid fullback playing a major role in our offensive schemes. Until we know exactly where we stand with our offensive line, that extra talented big body in the backfield can change a lot of outcomes in a game. Might not be touchdowns, but could be. Might lead to just enough field position to allow Morgan a shot at the uprights, or Barber a chance to pin the opponent inside their twenty or so.

WoodstockDawg, with you on being the fullback being able to catch the football. I truly believe that Quayvon Hicks is going to be one link in our team coming together and maybe reaching new heights. You Tube shows QH cathing the ball. You and I are definitely on the same page about fullback play. Mention now of Mike Thornton also lining up in the backfield. I like it. Nothing prevents these young men from returning to their original positions. Think it is an advantage to have played on the other side of the ball. Thornton did play some fullback in high school.

AllDawgs5, Bruce Figgins gets nothing but high fives from me. Was he a true fullback, nope. Bruce played through some off field difficulties but did come back and man up. Some of what you were mentioning in the long thread recently that many of us participated in . . . . some of these young men needed time to stabilize. Bruce was not the best, but he did what was asked of him.

Reminds me of another teammate playing for the “team”, not self, DeAngelo Tyson. Was not a true nose tackle, both of these young men gave it up for the team. I hope against hope that this attitude works its way through this entire group. If it does, all of us that support these young men will be in the same camp, I know that I would like that.

We have a very good chance now to build some depth, hoping that all of these young men accept what their coaches have to say and forget “self”. That is the way that they will get a “Ring”. Tough for the 18-22 year olds to do, but sooner or later they have to advance to that way of thinking, or . . .

Keep recruiting coaches, two deep beats moving players around. Some teams are there now, maybe soon we will be.

Good post Buc, has to be a we not a me mentality. I saw that this year for the first time in some time. That to me was a sign something had truly changed.

As for Bruce, hope by no means nothing negative was taken from my post. Proud of Bruce, he is a "we" guy. He played well, but was not that crazy, going to knock you out FB, that by the 4th quarter, linebackers are second guessing whether they want to try to fill that hole. On the other hand, Bruce was not utilized to his strengths either. He should have received some more action in the passing game.

Very interesting to see. I might be crazy, but I feel better about our OL this year that I do our secondary right now. The SC situation has me a little worried. He is a heckuva a corner. For some reason, I am getting the feeling Theus is just going to be an absolute stud. Went back and watched the kid compete at combines, he has a lot of nasty in him.

GO DAWGS

I love a TE in the backfield,The Pats in the Super Bowl ran Hernadez out of the backfield and there is not a LB who could cover.

Once there was such a thing as a "H" back that worked well. Still think we could move the ball well using a short passing game. Run the WR's deep and use the dink and dunks.

My feeling that we will see some new twists to our "O" just with the new faces we have.

Time to teach these dawgs new tricks....... "Go Dawgs"

AD5.....I'm more worried about our secondary than the OL as well......and THAT scares me even more because I'm very worried about the OL..... at least for the 1st half of the year.

Zero room for injuries in both areas. Heard they may consider Harton at DB but man is he small.

I would like to see Coach Grantham go after Reuben Foster ,LB from LaGrange, my old stomping grounds.
One hell of a player and for too long we have conceded that area to 'Bama and Auburn.
I saw where Robert Nkemdiche visited Athens last weekend. DE, Loganville.
He is annoyed that we didn't recruit his kid brother, an unlikely sign. This whole "if you want me, recruit my brother, buddy thing" pisses me off. I have a problem with those kind of kids...Da'Rick Rogers, glad we didn't get that punk.
