He's making a case for pass rush, not secondary.

Our secondary was the weak leak, but our takeaways were really good. Overall, the defense should be better this year.

Wow. Your linebackers suck.

We return the top two tacklers in the SEC. Our front 4 has just been so good that we don't have to blitz. Odom likes the 3-4 though, so I see this changing a bit.

Offense - A new center and qb will take some time to work out the kinks. If Park wins the job, I will be happy, and that's not a knock on Brice. WR position has plenty of returning talent and 1 or 2 of the freshmen will contribute heavily. RB we are good.
Defense - The main concern is losing both of our ILB. Their replacements(R.Carter, Kimbrough) have shown flashes in backup and on special teams. The rest of the front 7 is fine. Bailey, Mayes, Atkins, and Dawson have all played well. Trent Thompson will be a force from day 1. Our OLB are as good as any. The secondary still has work but is less of a concern after the progress Pruitt made with them over last season.

I'm trying to figure out what UGA has coming in next year that has everyone so high on them. Chubb is the most obvious and he'll be one of the best in the conference no doubt. But beyond Chubb, what do you have coming in next year that has everyone so high?
3rd place east maybe? Mizzou will win the east again with a pair of DEs that were former walk ons at some western JUCO and they will be first rounders and lead SEC in sacks.

"Knock on wood"
A lack of off field distractions would go a long way into making the start of this season special. That along with everybody passing the post Spring break drug testing they all know will be coming.
Auburn might suffer, but we could be great!

What's not to like compared to the rest of the conference?
On offense we return 4/5 on the OL, FB, 3 very talented RBs, 2 TEs with starting experience and 2 WRs with starting experience. C and QB are the two positions where we will lack experience, which is significant, but we'll be more talented at each position. I loved Andrews, but he wasn't invited to the combine and likely won't be drafted. He was a marginal talent with years of experience, leadership skills and a big heart. Mason wasn't invited to the combine and won't be drafted. He'll be replaced by an Elite 11 guy. My bigger concern would be an almost entirely new coaching staff on offense, but the one area where I have the most faith in Richt is putting together a competent offense via intelligent QB play. Most of the pieces are already in place.
On defense we return 3/4 DBs, 2 DL with starting experience, 2 OLBs with starting experience and Lorenzo Carter. You'll likely see Floyd moved to ILB some to create a spot for Carter. Somebody has to step up at ILB, but we'll have 4 guys with at least 3 years of college experience at that position plus Roquan Smith. We'll be in year 2 of a new defensive scheme. Year 2 under a new coach is typically characterized by an uptick in production.
On special teams we return a very solid returner in McKenzie, a very good kicker in Morgan and experience at punter.
We finished in the top 10 last year and 2 of our losses were mind boggling. We certainly have our warts, but look around the conference. I can't point to anybody and say they will be desicisvely better than us. Bama is probably the default due to the front 7, but let's see their offense first. Auburn is getting a lot of hype, but they lost 4 in a row to P5 schools to close 2014. Let's actually see Muschamp turn that D around first and see how Johnson does when he's the man. LSU returns abysmal QB play and has a new DC. UT has one of the worst OL situations in the conference, a new OC and Butch Jones still hasn't beat anybody of note. UF has an entirely new coaching staff and an undesirable QB situation. Mizzou has a new DC and was boatraced by UGA last year at Mizzou and Bama in Atlanta. Ole Miss is about to start Chad Kelly at QB. Miss St lost more than anybody in the conference. The list goes on and on.

UGA, tell me about your OL and QB.
Get decent to good play from these positions and I see no reason why UGA shouldn't win the East.

UGA is kind of the default pick to win the East. They will underachieve though, and probably lose a game or two that they shouldn't.
Agree with the UGA fans talking about the pass rush. It will be nasty. Carter really came on strong the last 1/2 of the season and he will only get better IMO. Still not sold on the run defense, but we will see how that has improved.

But they weren't mind boggling, because it happens every year

A UF type game seems to happen every year where the team seems completely unfocused. Not scoring from inside the 5 like against USCe and not kicking the ball deep like against Tech aren't things I would have expected.

Coaching Staff will make or break us. This may not be the same staff where we can say UGA always underachieve. 70% of the staff is new from over the last 2 years. The Jury is out until after the first 2 big games.

Tough schedule as well.

I just think it's weird richt has such a good record against rivals but can never put it all together in the same season
