Georgia football key returnees vs. key losses: Bulldogs offseason winners or losers?
Georgia football is losing some good players to the NFL, as it does every year under Kirby Smart, but the Bulldogs bring back some special talents, too
Comments
We lost a lot and retained a lot. Daniels and Davis are the two keys. Retaining these two makes up for all the losses we had. I think that these two are the keys to a championship march this fall. We have a talent pool deep enough to make up for those we lost. The tangibles and intangibles provided by these two simply are not available in that talent pool. I am referring to Daniels natural talent as well as his experience and to Davis quiet leadership, huge size and work ethic.
Wow, 90% of "Key Losses" are taking place on the defensive side AND 80% of "Key Returnees" are on the Offensive Side! Honestly, with the way modern D1 ball is played these days, this looks like a Championship Caliber Team. This time next year we will see significant Key Losses on both sides of the ball but the offense will have been decimated.
It's 2021 or bust in my opinion. CKS and company know the stars have aligned for this upcoming season (weak East, weaker than typical Bama, elite offense, above average defense). Not getting it done in 2021 will be heartbreaking.
New slogan: Get it done in '21!
Go Dawgs!
Mike, didn't Rochester already say a couple months ago that he was returning after his season ending injury?
I kinda agree. In my view Jordan Davis is the most important player on the team with the possible exception of J T Daniels. Since both are returning I see no reason to cry over spilled milk.
Go, Dawgs!
So, who is replacing who? That is the main question. Stokes perhaps the biggest loss. Don't know if we have someone waiting in the wings to approximate him.
Azeez is a big loss but Anderson and a combination of Smith, Tindall who seemed to have sacks ever opportunity he got the opportunity . Perhaps these can approximate him.
Dean and Walker(is he returning) to cover for Rice. I'm OK with that.
Campbell and Webb? We'll mange. LeCounte? Quick and a leader, great tackler? Average. Cine is a force, needs to work on situational awareness. Christopher Smith and Brini are up and comers.
Herring-very good player. Will be missed, young guys will have to step up for depth.
Cleveland - good player but we have some young guys waiting in the wings.
Every good team loses good to great players. BAMA will lose more than most this year. Think they will reload? YEP!
Is Tyrique Stevenson not considered a "Key Loss?"
