UGA Board Participation

Thought I would throw this out.

Warren Belin, who has 20 years of experience as a college coach, made his professional coaching debut in 2011 as the Panthers linebackers coach. The veteran assistant came to Carolina following a one-year stint at Georgia and an eight-year tenure at Vanderbilt.

Working with the inside linebackers in his only season at Georgia in 2010, Belin mentored linebacker Akeem Dent, who led the team and ranked second in the Southeastern Conference with 126 tackles. Dent, an All-SEC second-team choice, was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in the third round of the 2011 NFL Draft. Additionally, Belin handled the Bulldogs' kickoff coverage unit, which ranked first in the conference.

Guessing of course, maybe the reason that Belin left was because of the upcoming coaching changes that were going to be made. Most on this board wished Coach Belin well. In his new job he does not have to be a part of the "special teams", Carolina has a "special teams" coach.

Really hope that we get a handle on coverage this season. Being number one again in the SEC would be nice and who knows, might lead to bigger and better things.

VT has always been noted for their ST play and rightfully so. Correct me if I'm wrong but believe they always mixed in a lot of starters on ST's instead of just using the 3rd stringers and saving the starters from injury and fatigue.

Haven't checked the stats out yet but believe after the UF game, didn't CMR start putting more starters on ST play?......and wasn't there more improvement the rest of the season? Just trying to remember.

Imo, most notable programs with great ST's, mix in a lot of their starters......ST's can't be "rocket science", believe it is again a matter of putting your BEST players on the field at ALL times.

3 phases of the game as we all know O...D...ST. You put your best out there on offense and defense, why not ST's?

Beamer does at VT and they are one of the best year in and year out.

WoodstockDawg, after reading your post a while back, came across this piece of work in the link below. Kimberley hit the nail on the head from where I sit. Think you are probably in agreement with her thread also.

Totally agree. Give me a good fullback, and I will show you the beginnings of a strong running game.

I go to Kemberley's site often, lady understands the game. Said to you before, really think that Quayvon Hicks is going to blow up some linebackers, don't have to say that to you. Piece by piece we might get this UGA offense making a name for itself. Would like nothing better. Don't feel that the defensive coaches will ever let that side slide again. Interesting year with a lot of talent.
