A Look at UGA Football

I had the pleasure to hear David Greene speak last night. What a class act guy and what an obsolute pleaseure it was to hear him speak on his time at UGA and what he's done since.

He spoke some on how this team is starting to show a "TEAM" attitude like it was during his time at UGA. He mentioned (as we all know) there have been several or more years since he left where certain players were all in it form themselves. The "I and ME" attitude. He says he's now seeing that same bond between the players with a "TEAM" attitude. He admitted that during his time they were really a "medicore" team but what made them special and achieve great things, was the "TEAM" attitude and respect they had for one another.

If these Dawgs will unite as team, I have no doubt great things will happen this year baring injuries to key positions.

Here's his interview if you're interested.

Gillette, good stuff. David saying that his group were somewhere around "mediocre" speaks to the importance of team play. I look back at the last championship with Herschel and his gang. I would say the same tags apply to them. Amazing what can be done when everyone gets rid of the "I".

Thanks for the post Gillette...

David Greene was always one of my favorite QB's at UGA...

Chemistry goes along way in a TEAM being special.

You guys are getting me jacked for the season!!!

The only thing I want to add to this post is I may be in the minority, but I think MM needs to stay on defense. I think most offenses are "system" offenses, meaning as long as a WR has ability, desire, and good hands, we should be able to plug in anyone and they be able to catch a 10 yard post.

Defense is about skill, speed, and killer instinct. MM is a freak. Think about MM, B. Smith, Rambo, Williams, Tree, JJ, Jenkis, by the end of the year. You have championship materila there. You have the ability to shut out people.

If we hold teams to 10 points, marlon brown, T. King, KM, Gurley, marshall, Rome, Murray, etc. should be able to get us a win.

Keep MM on defense.

If I had to vote one way or the other at this point BulldogShannon, would cast my vote the way you express above.

Many might not agree with me on this, feel that we are finally getting the Marlon Brown that we had hoped for some time back. Of course that is yet to be seen. Takes some longer than others. Also have some secret thoughts on Justin Scott-Wesley being a serious coverage problem this season.

Think that AM will try his best to get the ball to T. King, help him in his efforts to reach the NFL as a receiver. King has had the problem of pretty good receivers playing football at UGA since he has been on campus. I like TK.

Feel that MM will probably play both sides if the comments made by Mark Richt ring with truth, and I have no reason not to believe what he says.

Edit: Chris Conley has great hands, he will play.

Could develope into another Champ Bailey (I know, he's exceptional).

B-S.....believe MM was initially recruited as a DB. Has been said he was a better DB than WR.


And Buc.....I think Conley is going to be a star.....looks very "natural" to me....effortless. He may be a big "sleeper" this year. Really like the way he plays.
