Re: Where is everybody/anybody ?
I recall this topic being bandied about the last couple of seasons , but I am not sold on the theory that Kirby purposely "handicaps" the team against the smaller schools to keep the games close. I say this because I view the use of any type of reduced subset of the entire playbook in those games as simply hunting rabbits with a .22 instead of a 12 gauge with 00 buckshot. and not really marking the games harder for them artificially. He still gives them the tools to dominate if they execute well, but reserves the more complex weapons for the Bull Moose they will be hunting later.
In lieu of throwing bombs, fancy reverses, etc., shouldn't we expect to see lots of big runs for 50+ yards runs against the smaller, slower teams just as easily if our blocking is where it needs to be? I think someone on this thread talked about a minimum expectation of 40+ points in weeks one and two and I agree that seems very reasonable regardless of how slimmed down the game plan is.
I'm so excited to see the Dawgs putting toe to leather and foot to asses again!!!
GO DAWGS!! GATA!!

Not that I miss him all that much, but where is Connor Riley? It's so near the season opener and I haven't seen (or really missed) any articles from him. Is he on vacation or on "time out"?

Re: Where is everybody/anybody ?
Although I tend to agree we must remember how Kirby manages some of these games to keep our players from taking naps.
Go, Dawgs!

Re: Kirby Smart: Georgiaâs primary opponent âis us, and itâs going to be us every weekâ
From Mike's other recent article on Jordan Hall and the D-line:
"the Bulldogs were out-rushed in all three of last season’s losses: 1) Alabama had 177 yards on the ground to UGA’s 80 in the Tide’s 41-34 win; 2) Ole Miss gained 134 yards rushing to Georgia’s 59 in the Rebels’ 28-10 win; 3) Notre Dame rushed for 154 yards to the Bulldogs’ 62 in the Irish’s 23-10 CFP Sugar Bowl victory."
I'll post it again: while the yards allowed numbers aren't great, they pale in comparison to the pathetic offensive efforts on the ground in those games: 80, 59, 62 yards rushing respectively. That's an embarrassment for a Georgia team.
Searels had an O-line with an NFL 2nd rounder (Ratledge) and a 3rd rounder (Wilson) playing, too. It has to get fixed this year. And no more talk about injuries. Everyone has injuries. All season long. Time for the OL to man up and that includes Searels.
ps - if they put 8 guys in the box, throw the ball.
GO DAWGS.

Re: Georgia defensive tackle Jordan Hall ready to provide healthy lift to Bulldogsâ run defense
Well said. But his situation leads me to my concern that he may be prone to recurring lower leg issues/injury.
Having stress reactions in one lower leg is relatively normal. Having them in both lower legs does not bode well for a 320 lb football NT taking shots on his lower legs, blindly, from every angle. Is his condition indicative of physiological deficiency as a result of extreme load bearing or nutritional inadequacy during development? Leg strength, especially lower leg strength, may be the most important strength an IDL can have.
At this point JHall has to earn fans confidence that he will be available and effective every week. He is a big IF; literally and figuratively.
