Time To Change The Offense

Mike, so right. His speed is scary, and he does have brass you know whats. Mike also believe that we are or should see a lot of serious play from our fullbacks. We have always been a better football team when we had a bad butt at the fullback position. Really believe that Malcome is going to have a serious SEC year.

Find myself going back and watching the film featuring Marshall and Mitchell participating in a 40 yard dash. Took three races to decide, and the the third race was by a whisker. Mike lots of speed on the offense and defense this year. Fullback play could play a huge role with this team this year.

It's definitely a team game...all three phases play a part in every win and every loss. There's no doubt that AM's made some mistakes over the past few seasons, but I wonder how many of the fumbles/interceptions can be placed squarely on his shoulders and how many were due to pressure because our O-line wasn't equipped to handle facing top 20 front sevens? Just a thought.

And Buc...can't wait to see what Hicks brings to the backfield...Figgins did a great job filling a gap but having a true fullback could make a huge difference for us.

SEC defenses play football from top to bottom. Glad to be a part of a conference that does not make excuses. Mike, Quayvon Hicks . . . . I hope is the Big Back that we have needed at the fullback position, makes the offense work in my mind. Not going to cast Richard Samuels aside either, think he is going to be all that this season. Also keep going back and watching RS in the JAX game . . . young man is a warrior, or maybe I should say . . . . a BULLDOG.

AD5, you coached until recently, (recently in this old farts mind ?? :huh: ) younger than some of us but not that young. You have a good grip on the modern athlete and the way the game is played. Have not been on a football field in a long time, have walked the sidelines (when permitted). I study the game but do not have the hands on that you and some others have on this board. AD5, this appears to be a very good football team. A win in game two could serve the Red and Black well for the upcoming season.

Agree Buc, Mizzou is critical imo. We get a win there and believe we're off and running (barring a big injury bug).


Could turn out to be an early turning point to the year. In the USC game, we will be at full strength and they won't be catching us early.

wlayton, cannot speak loudly enough to how bad I want to win in both Columbia's. Don't take this wrong, if I had a choice of which team I want to win against the most . . . . South Carolina. That would be if I knew that we could not win both. I do not want SS to beat us three years in a row.

Spurrier almost acted like a human being when he said, and I quote, "we should not have won that game against UGA". That game of course was between the Hedges.

SS stands a very good chance of beating UF in the Swamp . . . again, he has to be derailed prior to that. If SS wins against UGA and UF, the recruiting balance is lost. Again, just one old fart's opinion.

I truly feel that Mark Richt has to look into the mirror and understand that this game with South Carolina is that big. We kick their butts in Columbia, it could and probably will change our recruiting fortunes after that clash. It will be a CLASH. I believe that, also believe that most on this board believe that.

Our defensive group appears from all reports to be ready, all of us hope that we see why these players returned to Athens.

OK, not going to be ugly, but will say this . . . . we put points on the board against SS/South Carolina last year. Either they are better or we are. No excuses, both sides of our team need to look squarely in the eyes of the Cocks and . . . . wring their necks. There I go again, back in the day that is the way Sunday chicken started. . . .
