From Athens - Friday Thoughts

Lorenzo Carter is a good example yd1. Coach Pruitt kicked his butt, allowed him to sit and watch from the sideline. Apparently that was solid coaching. Carter did not look like the same player after Pruitt left. What was left for him to do . . . . Coach Smart was on his way, better to listen than pout. Fully expect to see Lorenzo to have a great 2017. Carter now has Roquan Smith, a proven linebacker to cover much of the territory that many expected Lorenzo to cover prior to Roquan arriving on campus. Serious linebacking group will report in 2017.

Scooby, Cam has "always" had his way. Super talented from the shoulders down. Has a lot of great gray matter, just refuses to apply it to the rest of his body. Great legs and arms are a dynamic duo, a duo that works much better when the gray matter is used. Some never receive the message, not players alone, coaches also. Think maybe some of that is showing up on the Auburn Campus.

Expect Julian Rochester to be incredible on the defensive line in 2017. Answers a lot of questions. Supposedly spending a lot of time conditioning his body. 6'5" and over 300 pounds, going to be a lot of help to Trenton Thompson along with a couple of stout defensive ends that got their feet wet in 2016.

The similarities of CJP and CKS have been discussed here by several....

Both have a set of rules.... if want to see PT best learn and heed them.... and never test how far

you can stretch one.... it will snap back and bite you big time....

Defense will lead the charge in 2017.... offense needs to be able to cash in the opportunities the

defense provides them.... regularly..... Go Dawgs

Beginning to sound like "team play" yd1 . . . . For a long time we (FANS) have not had the necessary planning to keep up with others in the SEC. So much talent in Georgia, often escaped to teams that seemed to have a "blueprint" or a road map when we were too often relying on one side of the ball to accomplish what many knew was impossible. There will always be the "next year" folks . . . . some of that going on now and quite frankly, we are getting closer to dropping those words. Once the depth is wearing the Red and Black, there will be good reason to think in terms of "reloading" not "rebuilding". Football scholarships in Athens are going to be a very valuable offer that many will want to receive.

Looking forward to LOI Day.

Blueprint.......road map... sounds like a part of a process...

Really can't overstate how impressive it it to see CKS...shut the borders of Georgia down..

Turn many of these players he built relationships with while a Alabama..

But and even great testimony...to having the recruits following him to Georgia....buying unto the

Process...imho the most important first step...

Need to believe in your leadership....


Falcons playing inspired ball....coaches had them prepared....
