ATHENS — Kirby Smart has a physical Georgia football team that sounds ready to handle the opening game moments, but the head coach made it clear there’s much, much more to work on.

Jordan Hall's leg fractures are the most worrisome since he is a key cog in the D-line. You have to stay off your feet as much as possible and avoid things like running or anything that could re-injure or open back up the fracture. 6-8 weeks recovery for most regular people. I can't believe it happened in both his legs. I wonder if he has weak bones or something. We may not see him until at least mid-season and no telling what kind of shape he'll be in by then.
I was wondering the same thing about Hall's legs. Could be an ongoing thing that limits his time or derails the year or his career. Not good.
I could be wrong but I doubt Kirby will sit Etienne, as he (Kirby) keeps referring to in house punishment. If he sits him at all it’ll be for game #2.
I’m Not discussing the morals of if that’s right or wrong to do, I’m just saying that’s my opinion of what Kirby will do. I’m not sure on this but I think the policies are sit out a game but doesn’t specify Which game. This is an extremely important game and I just doubt Kirby will sit him for it. Just my take. Go Dawgs !!
I know the peer pressure is part of the punishment, and missing a game really hurts, but punishing the team, in my humble opinion, is not as corrective as what focuses on the offender.
I committed one fifteen yard penalty (saved an interception) and received 3 days of extra duty (Burma Road, belly wampers and an extra mile after practice). It didn't cost the team a first team wideout and that was corrective to me.
Traffic violations should be dealt with by the CJ officials and team infractions dealt with by the coachs...How about waiting tables in the team dining hall for a period.
We need Etienne and Mondon,,,after they clear tables and swab the deck (that ones for you Navy Dawg).
Will be really important to get some of these big bodies back over the next couple weeks, even for limited snaps. D-line isn't the position you want to be short bodies. We can manage RB/WR's being out. Less so in the trenches
