Do you think your staff makes, and keeps, recruiting promises that negatively impact your offense? From the outside looking in, it appears that they do, but I was wondering if Georgia fans felt this as well.

No, they promise nothing except if you come in and work hard you'll get a fair shot.

Any UA fan will say UGA outplayed UA in both games in most aspects of the game.

The problem is it's a four quarter game and we haven't learned to finish. You're not going to beat a team like Alabama by trying to hold a lead for two quarters. You have to score in the 4th.

Georgia has done a good job of closing the talent gap in the starting 22 but we still have a ways to go with depth. It will take a couple more classes to fill the 85 w/ the talent required to overcome injuries and play 4Qs with them. Were close but I do feel if we keep recruiting like we have we can get it done. Time will tell.

Hey, i don't think anybody can argue that both schools are great for any running back to go to. If I recall correctly, Alabama has had 1 or 2 Heisman running backs.

Yep its not like he will screw up picking either program. Both can get him where he wants to go.

I honestly don't think they promised Fields anything (if that is what you are referring to). I do believe they were not sure how to handle the situation, though. I think they honestly expected him to come in and take the job, but he was not as polished as they thought. Just a guess.

Trey Sanders Bama lock, I found out today, I got honey mustard sauces.

Fields and Cook.

I guess my though was that there shouldn't have been a situation to handle. Fields should have just been the backup. So I was wondering if he was promised playing time, so they created a "package" for him.

I love to follow recruiting it is fun to see where and why these kids go where these kids go. But here are two facts I know to be true. 1. No matter what happens from this point forward, the 2019 recruiting classes for Bama and UGA are both going to be great classes. 2. No one knows crap about where these kids are going, including all posters from all teams posting on every message board in America, and the people who are supposed sources. Now some will guess correctly, but none of you are getting your information from the players, none of you are getting your information from the coaches, and no one you are talking to is getting information from them either, because they are not talking.

Its kind of crazy how far ahead they are from the rest of the pack. W/ Urban gone its only going to get worse.

But against LSU, I couldn't understand why Herrien was getting any touches or why Cook was getting snaps.

Chaney very clearly got outcoached/smarted in that game. He got away from Holyfield pounding for God only knows what reason. He got baited into calling too many passing plays and/or RPOs that for whatever reason, Jake was consistently reading as pass. But nothing about that game seemed like we made any promises to guys. Herrien earns his time on the field, and at times has looked really sharp... his issue is that for whatever reason, blocking seems to breakdown on his plays a lot more. I think I saw a stat that said of all the UGA RBs his average yards before contact were the lowest... meaning he's pretty consistently getting hit in the backfield. I dunno whether that's on him, the line, or the playcalling...

As far as Cook goes, he's shown that he's electric in space and I think that was the hope... try to get Cook in space to open things up... it just didn't work.

Fields utilization has been baffling this year. IMO, they actually set him back by using him in pure gimmick running packages instead of just letting him run a series here or there with run "outs" but intended passes... by the time they did it the 3rd or 4th time in the season, I doubt a single DC respected anything other than Justin tucking and running or a pure play deep fake so you could leave one safety to cover the deep thread and otherwise play it as a typical running play.
