Haven't been able to watch every snap, or even most, bc work :(

Would like to hear what you all have to say.

From the little I've scene and gathered I've got the feeling the offensive line is not spectacular, and may end up being a trouble area.

I thought the Oline would be better, but there is still time.

Mauk has made poor decisions and has missed a lot of short stuff.

The Dbacks are not as bad as I thought they would be but they have a long way to go.

Our linebacker play outside of brothers has been horrific. No way we can play with UGA with this kind of LB play

Our run game isn't as good as I'd hoped - but not bad. Yes, LB is a huge weakness. CB's don't give up huge plays like they did around 2007 but they're still OK at best. They let Mauk play gunslinger a little more in this game and that may be why he looked at little more comfortable and played better.

What do we know? Still not sure.

What I think is...

- Markus Golden is a legit SEC DPOY candidate. Maybe national DPOY, as well.
- Until a Nate Brown freshman becomes a factor, our WRs are going to simply be serviceable.
- Josh Henson still hasn't found the right chord in his playcalling balance.
- Marcus Murphy is the only legitimately explosive playmaker we have on offense.
- Mauk's interceptions total is going to be high floating deep passes in conference games.
- I fear we're going to get gashed regularly by anything resembling an above average running team.
- Even moreso than last year, creating turnovers will be the lifeblood of defensive success.
- Although he's still inconsistent, I love Baggett's leg for touchbacks on kick-off's.

Our LBs scare me. Badly.

We have some kids that are going to have to mature quickly. Especially at WR and DB.

Mauk will have to improve his decision making, but I'm not beating him up just yet.

Our LBs really scare me.

The running game isn't perfect, but they will continue to improve.

Line play will be solid, esp on defense. Golden is a stud. Hope he stays healthy. The OL has the right pieces, they just still seem a little unsure at times.

And our LBs are frightening. Good running teams will be a recipe for disaster unless this unit gets better. Fast.

Mauk still needs to grow in his decision making. He's getting better, just needs the reps.

Running game decent.

Passing game needs Hunt to step up and be more consistent.

Defense still needs a coordinator. I seen the 3-4 rear it's ugly head again, and get burned.....again. If I was Pinkel, I'd tell Steck if he rolls that out again, he'll need to brush up on his grocery sacking skills.
