I don't hate Grantham, but here are a few facts:
Louisville, despite returning more starters on defense than UGA did, declined in total defense from 2013 to 2014 while UGA improved in total defense from 2013 to 2014.

Oh don't get me wrong there's plenty of Grantham hate. I meant being happy about Swann doing well under Pruitt isn't Grantham hate. Being happy not to have a shitty defense that is clueless at the snap repeatedly is Grantham hate.

C'mon man. Swann playing more nickel under Pruitt is absolutely a "scheme" change. I was really just trying to point out how much better Swann has been this year (not saying it couldn't have happened under Grantham). Obviously he still struggles in run defense, but he has been really good and pass coverage and I love the way he talks to and leads the younger players, especially after they make mistakes.

Agreed. I was worried about him last year. He didn't let the TG experience ruin him. I'm sure Pruitt had a lot do do with it. DGD.

Why all the Grantham hate?


I don't hate the man but I am glad he moved on. Mutual parting of ways can sometimes be good for everyone.

That's where he played in 2012 under Grantham. He was solid there just like this year. I'm glad he had a good senior season, he seems like a good dude. I don't know how much he'll play in the NFL but I'm glad he was a dawg.

Couple things off the bat:

-I don't like grantham
-I do like Swann, a lot
-I love pruitt
-I like a good 'in your face' bump



However..


you didn't actually refute what rig said. DS hasn't played in an nfl game. I hope he does, and is a 10 time pro bowler. Just saying..

If we are getting technical, all rig said NFL game. Not NFL regular season game. So Swann just had a pick in an NFL game, albeit a preseason one.

I meant everything in the first post, but must have been trolling in the comment about never playing in the NFL.

The fact I quoted a Widespread song must have meant I was drunk posting. I like Swann alot. Always have.


ETA- 11pm New Year's Eve Eve.... probably drinking.
