Noticeable Changes

thriller wrote: Excellent get, Dawg With Style! I love to read whimperings from the vanquished. Actually, that is a GREAT article and analysis, until the guy starts making TOO MANY EXCUSES for that loss. You'd swear he really thinks Missouri is the better team. Sheesh.

I'm sure Franklin couldn't even pick up a pen Sunday with his right hand/arm. The boy had to do his school work lefthanded......JJ saw to that.

Good read Dawg With Style. Agree with thriller about the "excuse making". They played hard and ended up on the short side of the score. Frankly ( ) if a flag were thrown every time a offensive lineman was holding, game would take 12 hours to maybe reach the finish. I got my wish, the refs let the players play. One other thing, bet nary a Tiger held UGA in the game.

Edit: Believe we will see our defense use virtually the same game plan against Vandy. Keep their quarterback inside.

Speaking of "Noticeable Changes" . . . . Don't know about you guys, but Marlon Brown stepping up his Senior year could and should make a huge impression on a lot of folks. Another key to a successful UGA 2012 Season if Marlon can keep the nagging injuries to a minimum.

Has been said on this board before . . . . . Sherman Armstrong on board and a part of the S&C group was a really good move to get Sherman from the Tampa area.

One paragraph from the link below.

“Marlon is a big, physical receiver and he’s faster than he used to be,” Richt said. “He’s trained, he’s trimmed his body down, he’s worked hard with our strength staff — Sherman Armstrong especially — with his speed. It’s paid off for him. He’s quicker, he’s more flexible and he’s always had real strong hands.”

Yes Buc, really happy to see MB step up and play to his potential. Thought he had a great game and AM has got to be loving it having a WR with some size. Really liked how he went up and snatched that TD pass over the middle between DB's. He could be their "breakout" player this year. If so, MM could concentrate more on D.

Really on board with your post wlayton. Find myself thinking about some of the faster young men on our team, Keith Marshall for example. Sherman can and will help Marshall become faster and improve his flexibility. Same can be said for Todd Gurley (scary). Amazing how a change or two can have an overall team effect.

Seems to me that I remember you saying that your wife was or is involved with healthly improvement through flex and other means. That thought goes back a few years.

Speaking of noticeable changes, read this as I'm sure many of you have;

“It doesn’t matter to us,” Richt said. “We have to do whatever we think we can do best on any given day. There will be teams that will totally pack the box and say we’re going to play one-on-one out here, are you good enough to throw and catch and we’ll have to prove that we are. There will be other times that we’ll play two safeties and they’re going to say are you strong enough to run against our front seven and we’ll have to prove that we are.

“That’s what I think of when I think in terms of balance. To me it means we can do what we need to do to win.”

I think this is the first of this type of thinking from CMR I've heard ever. Adapting to different defensive styles from any given team on any given night is a step in the right direction IMO. I think CTG has a lot to do with CMR's mentality at this point. It's only going to get better is my feeling.
