Lest we forget, everyone one of these guys is getting "game time" experience each day in practice, given the talent they face on the other side of the line and the way Kirby runs practices. Honestly, with this situation (and its embarrassment of riches), I worry not in the least about who goes in and when... I fully expect each guy to be more than able to step up and execute at a very high level when his number is called (for whatever reason), with very little if any adjustment needed, and see minimal if any drop off in position impact. I think pro scouts recognize this elite situation at UGA as well... so personal stats aside, where they trained (UGA) is especially relevant here. Go Dawgs!
KInd of hard to know(we the fans) exactly what have in Delp right now. I'm sure the coaches know or have a better idea than us. Hard to get on the field and get looks while the best TE in UGA history is getting his and our WR's are getting theirs. But from what little I've seen he looks extremely promising! THere may never be another Brock Bowers who just does everything seemingly perfect. BUt that doesn't mean Delp, Spurlin or Luckie or whoever couldn't be stars in their own right. They very well may. It's sort of like when we had Gurley, MIchel and Chubb. I think they all did pretty well. We can all discuss who was the greatest but they all were great!
I get what you’re saying Thadoc, but I think Bowers and (perhaps) Delp are also good blockers. Granted, neither is a Washington, but few are.
You don’t get on the field under Kirby Smart unless you can be at least pretty effective at blocking, no matter how good your other talents might be. As has already been said we don’t have another D. Washington on the roster. But I am confident that Delp will be effective enough to block for Bowers and others and he has already showed excellent potential at catching the ball. I think he and Bowers will compliment each other just fine. The main thing is the new QB will have Plenty of very potent targets to throw to. And that’s if the season were starting today. Once the three young pups get some time under their belts they will just be added firepower !! Go Dawgs !!
@reddawg1 I agree with you on the trio of RB’s comment.
The thing is, despite some naysayers out there, Gurley had Mike Bobo holding him back as the OC.
Maybe not intentionally, but IMO that doesn’t make it any less true.
Todd Gurley, as much as I ❤️ Chubb and Michel, was a “modern” version of Herschel Walker for the younger (under 50) Dawg fans.
Gurley was a man amongst boys even in the big and bad SEC the moment he hit the field as a true freshman.
I saw him absolutely truck more LB’s and safeties than any other RB on Georgia’s team going back to the mid 90’s.
I am looking for Milton to “finally” have a break out year this season the way that McIntosh did this past season. Man what a season Kenny had! I bet he went from a mid 3-4 round grade preseason to low 1st/ mid 2nd round grade for this upcoming draft. There isn’t anything that DGD can’t do at the RB position.
I’d argue we have been holding on to this 1a/1b RB thing at UGA a little too long.
If anything I really think
just like this year when all were healthy it was
I thought we'd offered a scholarship to Dante Cephas, the Kent State receiver.
Honestly...from what I've seen...I think Robinson is going to be UGA's featured back, next year. He reminds me of Knowshon Moreno with his size and power. Great vision, too...with a burst of speed. He hits the hole quick and drives his knees. He's a special player.
And...just for the record...in response to some earlier comments on Gurley; there has NEVER been a RB with Herschel Walker's combination of power and speed. He was a unicorn. The guy competed in the 100 meter at the Olympic tryouts...and could run over you.
We've seen backs with size and power, such as Earl Campbell and Bo Jackson...and, we've see backs with speed, quickness and vision, such as Tony Dorsett and Barry Sanders. We've only seen 1 back with all 5 traits. The closest I can remember, is Walter Payton. Gurley was pretty close, too...but, did not have Walker's world class speed. That's my opinion, anyway.
