From Athens- Friday Thoughts

yd1, really like what Kirby Smart said below . . . .

“I’m excited about the scrimmage because we’re going to have to get off the field and let the kids play,” Smart said. “To me the guys that stick out in the scrimmage are the guys who will stick out in a game. You just say, `Hey, roll the ball out there and go play.’ Take the thinking away, don’t confuse them, don’t shift and motion and make it all complicated. Let’s go find out who can play football because that’s what it’s going to come down to in our league is the guys who can play winning football.”

This is not a head coach that is trying to cause injuries, also not wanting injuries. You play SEC football, injuries will happen.

This is a test that will as Kirby says, . . . . paraphrasing . . . . let the Big Dawgs Hunt.

Example . . . . Todd Gurley hurt himself without some huge tackle or whatever. AM hurt himself without a big hit. Malcolm Mitchell hurt himself in the end zone celebrating a touchdown.

Times have changed folks, would you not agree?

I believe in less than three years under Kirby Smart and Company, (and Company means a lot to me) conversations will change "nationally" and "regionally" about Georgia Football.

What is so damn hard to understand? Bleeding Hearts want or are agreeable with 15 more years of the same? Really?

Go Dawgs . . . . Some fun in Sanford Stadium, Smart and Company are turning you loose . . . . Woof, Woof, Woof.

Leadership is never asking somebody to do something you haven't done or wouldn't do yourself.
America's greatest general, Robert E Lee, had to be held back by his own soldiers from leading a charge on his horse, Traveller.

Leadership is knowing who your leaders are and trusting them.
Jackson and Stuart.

Richt had one of the best leaders ever in Aaron Murray and, just my opinion, never realized his true worth.
Kirby Smart will know who his leaders are and let them lead.

Go Dawgs!!!!!!

If you have not watched these videos, might enjoy watching our coaches in action.

Coaches.....teaching..... Thanks for sharing. Go Dawgs

yd1, just a "different feel" this time around for me. Not expecting miracles. I am not bashful in thinking or saying that 2016 will be a lot of fun to watch. This group of coaches have high expectations, that will suit the young men in Athens wearing the colors just fine.

Single biggest statement or close to that made by Kirby . . . . those that want to play understand they must practice the way they will play. Sounds a lot like another coach that I have a lot of respect for . . . . Jeremy Pruitt.

I sometimes think about Georgia/Alabama in Atlanta. Both teams had "Talent". Difference . . . . "Depth". That will not change overnight, but I know that Smart and Company understand that will not continue in the Classic City. Did not mention a lack of "decision making". Most "football folks know". Kirby knows that he had a close call in that game.

Like your choice of words....."feel". Exactly Buc.... No matter what our record turns out to be

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
