Watched the Auburn game again yesterday. We are going to miss AM, kid showed so much heart in that game! Gurley brought it in that game as well.
But what stood out to me the most in that second half was just how athletic and FAST our D and mainly our front 7 was, oh yea and the one's I'm speaking of are still at UGA! When I listen to CJP talk I do NOT hear a coach making excuses, instead I hear a coach who is telling his players to NEVER be satisfied with where you're at. From day one CJP has said if you want to play and be a starter then you're going to have to work hard, learn it and earn it. CJP is a WINNER and his type will never be satisfied with anything less than winning.
I'm not going to say that our D is going to be the best in the Nation or even the SEC this year BUT I will say this, we are going to be way more prepared under CJP and CTR this season. Listen to some of the interviews from some of our kids on D and you will see that they are buying into CJP and company, that's a good thing fellow Dawg fans. We are going to be a way more balanced and prepared unit on D this year, not to mention that we have some STUDS on that side of the ball that will understand their assignments.
Obviously our season will be told in the first 3 weeks (first 2 games). I'm not sleeping on Clemson but I think we have too much firepower for them and it's our home opener. Yea their D is going to be physical but I will always put my money on a healthy Gurley! This game will come down to how well our D plays and how many second half stops we can get. Praying that Fenteng doesn't have a torn labrum!
Buc, yes sir I'm still coaching, first practice was yesterday.
