The way this group of coaches and players go about their business does have a different-feel- about. It....

Me thinks they will also have a different look......Go Dawgs

Tae Crowder has my interest. Think I see some building blocks yd1.

Cleaning house. Disrupting things that never worked. Bringing in a whole new crew.

Yes. It feels good for this old Dawg fan.

Maybe should not say this but . . . .

Mahogany Row brought to their knees. Dawgs.com did not pull any punches, in my estimation one of if not the leading force in much of what you describe as "cleaning house". Good on you, the members and Dawgs.com.

many things from this topic to digest.

1. Buc, on the video you posted on Pittman. You notice he already has 2 older OLmen he is counting on to be leaders of the line? One was Kublanow and I didn't see the other #. He decided that quiickly--which is good. Did not take him long to find his leaders. IMHO every position group needs "that man" or two to take ownnership of a group. Believe Buc mentioned Ragland at Bama-same thing.

2. You guys gonna hit me because I know you are tired of me speaking about NS but he is my favorite coach and the best in my lifetime IMHO but two things I saw written in this thread---"process" and "day at a time".........gentlemen, that IS the NS process.......it works.

Does anyone else feel comfortable like I do that EVEN IF Lambert starts the season at QB, we will be fine? With our OC and OL coach, Lambert will have plenty of protection and plenty of ime to throw. I mean, Lambert WILL have tons of experience and look what Bama did with some less than stud QB's.......not stressed at all about when JE will play.









Buc, and to all the older gentlemen on here , I feel we will get to those 4 team playoffs

BulldogShannon, one player that I believe will impress all of us this season is #55 Dyshon Sims. Have a close friend that said he is ready. Also has been said that he is excited about Coach Sam Pittman. Seems that the players lining up for Pittman are going to "show themselves" in 2016. Just a great move by Kirby in hiring Coach Pittman. Believe he and Coach Jim Chaney are on board with Kirby Smart. This group understands that they have a leader in Kirby. In my opinion when the coaching staff and the players can come together this quickly after a "major" turnover, someone or ones have done something good.

Shannon, never get tired about discussing improvement, and like you and others, thus far it has been easy to see.

Quarterbacks . . . . This is going to be something different than we have seen in Athens for a very long time. Even before Richt. Kirby watched this same type situation run its course in Tuscaloosa, more than once.

I do know this . . . . the East Side of the SEC changed dramatically over last year and this year. Football is returning to the East, about time. Makes some folks in the B1G nervous.



Edit . . . . Say again, good to see you back, hard to beat "home grown".

Buc,

Hope so. We'll find out real fast against Ole Miss whether or not the DAWG side of the east is toeing the line. That will be a statement game for CKS and Dawgs. Just hope it says the right thing!
