You don't understand that we looked lost and out of position so many times in 2012 along with every other year. No one is mentioning 2013. We all knew the 2013 defense wasn't going to be great, but you would at least think we would get the basics of lining up and getting the play in. That is pee wee football shite right there. HOW CAN YOU BE A COLLEGE DC AND NOT BE ABLE TO HAVE YOUR PLAYERS LINE UP RIGHT AND GET THE DAMN PLAY IN?! This is where everyone had it with him. 3 years and you're still making day 1 mistakes. I can understand just get exploited by a very good football team every now and then, no one is perfect. In 2012, you had 10 players in or going to be drafted in the NFL on that D. How can you make day 1 mistakes 2 years into installing a new D with upperclassmen all over the field?


Show me 3 plays in 2012 where the defense was lined up wrong and confused.

It'll be hard to find three plays where they lined up right

I'm not a huge Grantham basher. He had some bad breaks with the roster at UGA. But clearly, the man struggled to teach his defense to college players. If you don't remember that happening frequently during 2012, go back and watch the games because it was way too frequent for a defense with that much experience.

Here's a link to one point in our last game of the 2012 season, the Capital One Bowl. Watch the play, and the replay, and listen to the commentary: "For the second time in two consecutive snaps, Georgia's not ready to get lined up...Look at the confusion in the back end."

This happened with regularity in 2012, so it was not surprising that 2013 was a chinese fire drill on defense.
