try to keep your dawg wood hidden
not much commentary around the QB situation but from tidbits I saw over the weekend, its looking more and more like Mathis

quote:
Freshman phenom Jermaine Burton impressed at wide-receiver and as a punt returner while running with the first-team units. IF Burton can emerge as a legitimate threat that defenses have to respect then it will be massive for the UGA offense. It would keep defenses from throwing extra men at George Pickens, and we all saw what Pickens can do to man coverage during the last few games of the 2019 season.
James Cook and Zamir White continue to look like the two-headed monster that we’re hoping they’ll be. White has been showing his pre-ACL agility, and coupling that with some powerful finishes to his runs. Unlike his predecessor, Monken doesn’t seem to be perplexed about how to utilize the Swiss Army knife that is Cook. Observers say he’s been getting the ball on passes out of the backfield, lining up in the slot and carrying the ball well. Excuse me while I drool over this thought for a few moments…

Darnell Washington continues to get rave reviews, and I continue to tingle with anticipation for my purchase of a black #0 jersey with “BIG O” written on the back.
Freshman running back Daijun Edwards has been a surprise so far in camp. He might not see a ton of carries in a loaded running back corps, but he’s been flashing speed and power on his carries. Look for him to get some reps on special teams units and wherever else the coaches can get him on the field.
Running backs Kendall Milton and Kenny McIntosh were in non-contact jerseys for unknown reasons. That makes the emergence of Edwards all the more important.
Nolan Smith and Jermaine Johnson look to have made “the leap” in the offseason. It will be exciting to watch them rush the passer this fall.
Lewis Cine looks to be filling the void left by JR Reed nicely.
Freshman defensive back Jalen Kimber had a pick-6 while working with the first team defense against the first team offense, and senior Safety Richard LeCounte also had an interception
Jared Zirkel is looking like the heir apparent to our departed King Hot Rod. Folks are speaking highly of his big leg.
Quay Walker got some first-team reps at inside linebacker alongside Nakobe Dean

Hmmm, you don't say? I feel like I have seen that on here before...

Rice wasnt at practice.
I wonder if Walker got the bulk of first team reps or if he was the addition behind someone else on Saturday (new name with the 1s)

I believe Rice went to a family funeral.

Yes. Smart confirmed this.

Damn I thought the Mathis talk was just typical camp fodder. He legit might win the job?

Is that a good or bad damn? I don’t see any reason to doubt the kid. By all accounts he’s worked hard since he’s been here.

It was a damn the dude who all the insiders were saying had to quit football last year due to brain injury is now the leader for the starting job. I've never seen the guy play so I don't have an opinion on him.

Is there any information on Kearis Jackson or Tommy Bush? I was hoping both would kill it in fall camp
It's great that Burton is impressing but we all know how difficult it is for
Freshmen to make an impact at the position.

Top Billin' did a video on Burton, and predicted that he would contribute very early.
Good vid. He burned 4 and 5 star SEC DB commits.

This QB situation is such that, imo, these guys are all pretty much neck and neck. All three were highly recruited coming out of HS. Kirby said last week he was looking for consistency. That means, to me, they all are in the race and no one has dropped out of the QB sweepstakes. I think whoever wins the job eventually, it will be OK.

I 100% expect Stet the jet to start the first series as a Kirby power move.

Well found this interesting. Aaron Murray was at this scrimmage. He said after that the quarterback who looked the best to him was...Carson Beck. Didn't see that coming.

I saw a post on another board from a guy that went to the scrimmage and was wondering what Murray was watching.

What?
He pretty much missed the entire season last year and there's no reason to think he isn't talented...plus he's been in the system. for a couple of years.

Beck likely wont win to start. But he seems to be getting better quickly from what is being said. AM said in his opinion he was the best passer out there.
