2012 defense was awesome, what the frick are you talking about?

The secondary was very good under Grantham in 2012.

Debatable.

quote:

Jarvis Jones, Amarlo Herrera, Alec Ogletree, Geathers, Garrison Smith, mediocre?

Personnel at UGA has never been the problem.

Sit on it!

quote:

Grantham pulled off one hell of a mastermind coup when he stole Jarvis Jones from USC......

I mean, can you imagine where the 2012 season would of been without Grantham convincing JMFJ that he was a better fit at UGA than USC??!

---

I don't know. Couldn't have been too hard, since USC had declared him medically ineligible.

But hey - way to go Grantham!

quote:

---

So, you're saying that Grantham didn't recruit JMFJ at all?...(GASP!!!!)......and that it was the USC doctor's overly-cautious interpretation of Jarvis's neck issues that caused him to fall into Grantham's lap........making Grantham's D look better than it actually even was in 2012 by saving 2 or 3 games all on his own????

Thanks for the scoop.


Hmmmmmmmmmmmm..............

Sorry I commented man. Didn't realize this was your thread.

I'm out.

Good lord,what was the excuse against a horrible Kentucky team? 200+ yards once again

Rodney Garner was a shitty DL coach and didn't get a damn thing out of his players, Grantham couldn't fire him because he was Richt's pet, and recruiting coordinator.


SHAWN SPENCER, I AM RUNNING OUT OF PATIENCE.

But I thought the defense was "awesome in 2012"...but when it when it wasn't awesome it was because of CRG?Not sure that I follow...

Totally wasn't grantham's fault.

Bump... This thread has now been unanchored. DGD thanks.

Fwiw I have a source who told me that Grantham D was complicated. It was made more complicated by the fact that he would add stuff every single week so it could fit perfectly VS what the offense was doing.

In the SEC, your defense has to have an element of disguise and complexity or the OC's are going to eat your lunch. In hindsight it's easy to say Grantham should have dumbed it down for his younger secondary, and they were actually in the process of doing just that.

Grantham's secondaries, outside of 2013, were actually pretty damn good while he was here.

Some of yall have really short memories. Normally it was the run defense we were all pissed off about, a weak DL with linebackers having to make too many tackles.

Then Garner leaves, Wilson comes in, and suddenly our run defense and DL play finishes in the top third of the conference (SEC vs SEC stats) in 2013.

The shitty defense last year all comes down to one thing... young inexperienced secondary with the only potential young incoming star Trigga spending half the season hurt.

The defense, overall, played well enough for us to win most of our games.

The offense (injuries) and special teams did not.

The worst part is the false narrative that players were looking at the sideline confused on every play, yall even have the Bleacher Report guy on the Bulldog Roundtable repeating it on Monday.

It's like a bitch ex girlfriend that you yelled at one time, but by the time she tells her friends, and they tell their friends, the story is that you picked her up and held a knife to her throat before throwing her down in a bathtub and pissing on her while she trembled and cried.
