re: UGA loses its two best players on offense
Posted by Gainesville_Dawg on 4/25/24 at 9:42 am
Certainly huge losses, however, Beck had them both healthy at the same time only once or twice and still went 13-1 so…

2021 SECCG - Jameson Williams took a 2nd quarter slant 70 yards and looked like a thoroughbred race horse. I knew he was fast, but it was jaw dropping to see live

Not giving Brian VanGorder a raise and then replacing him with Willie Martinez.

Those people are lame. I do not claim the “Spike Squad.”

Actually live in Atlanta now, so maybe I should update. But I do miss Longstreet dearly

In my second year of B4 busy season right now and have worked 70-75 chargeable hours (not including lunch, dinner, breaks, etc.) every week of 2019. 55-60 hour weeks all of November and December (outside of the week of Christmas).
Fortunately, deadline is near. Will not be doing it again next year..

Sensible Georgia fans who understand that if they had a real HC, someone with a history, they would be almost unbeatable because of how they're recruiting.
We’re recruiting the way we are because of Kirby.

You haven’t watched a lot of Georgia football. No running backs are sitting. They all get carries.

I for some strange reason always yelled “Eat him up!” right before Roquan came in for a tackle last year. And he always did.
Said it once on Saturday and it didn’t feel right.

Unfortunately no. I heard the elite level of donors in the Sky suites had complimentary beverages though.

Nah. Not everybody stuck around for whatever reason, maybe a few hundred. I’m assuming they all weren’t aware.

Not in the media. Kirby addressed all the fans in attendance after practice and had a couple of minutes for open Q&A

Webb was out there the whole scrimmage, he was just running with the 2’s opposite of Campbell.
That competition at corner was what intrigued me the most. And I almost got to ask Kirby about it after practice when he addressed everyone, but he only took a few questions and was probably irritated that Zeus was the first one.
For Zeus, I only saw a couple of touches and there wasn’t any room for him to do much, so you couldn’t really tell what he brought to the table.
And agreed on the Grant - Zo - Floyd comparisons. I think he’s just an athletic, rangy guy that needs experience at Star for some offenses we play. Not gonna be there when we’re playing Mizzou.
Other note, the new sound system is loud. That stadium shakes when the bass is up now.

Saturday Scrimmage Report
Posted by Gainesville_Dawg on 8/20/18 at 2:32 pm
Got the opportunity to go to the scrimmage on Saturday and thought I'd share some notes I jotted down this morning.
Please excuse the mostly unorganized formatting and NB4 "holy wall of text" comments
Offense
1) Ahkil Crumpton and John Fitzpatrick were your offensive MVP’s
- Crumpton caught a swing pass and juked two starting db’s (Reed and somebody at corner/star) that made the entire crowd go “whoaaaaaa” then nearly scored from 75 yards away
- Fitzpatrick had a td and a couple other long receptions and ran over Speed at the end of one of them
- Fitz’s one td was form third string qb
2) James Cook is going to be electric in space, but definitely looks too small to be a between the tackles guy. Just a natural catching the ball.
3) Neither qb did anything particularly special, but there was no attempt to establish a ground game (foundation of the offense) and I assume we were extremely vanilla with the amount of fans present, so they weren’t exactly in an advantageous situation
- Fields definitely tried to make a few big plays at times when not needed. For example, he scrambled around for a while and heaved a 60 yard bomb to Holloman in triple coverage, though it landed safely out of bounds. He sure does throw a pretty ball though
- Fields had two batted balls intercepted, with a couple other batted balls that fell to the ground
- He did have a great td to Mecole in redzone work, rolled out to his right with Mecole streaking across the back of the endzone
- Fromm didn’t do much either, but he had a great play where he escaped pressure, rolled right, and found Fitzpatrick wide open over a lb that turned into a big gain
4) Jayson Stanley got more deep ball attempts than Mecole, Ridley, and DRob combined, which was pretty lame
- DRob didn’t get much action other than a couple of hitch routes that I saw, but he did have one catch that turned some heads
5) Lots of shuffling across the O line, but saw Trey Hill get a lot of reps at first string LG. Granted, Baker moved over the LT at that point, like we’ve seen in recent practice reports
- Salyer got mostly center work from what I saw
6) Really sucks about Zeus. We were all commenting about how you couldn’t even tell the guy was 8-9 months removed from an ACL early in practice. Didn’t even notice him get hurt either
Defense
1) Stokes played almost every single snap (maybe even all of them) with the 1’s at corner opposite Baker
- Campbell seemed to be working with Baker the whole time, so it looked like they were either getting him personal coaching with Baker, or training him to be Baker’s backup
2) Star:
- Saw a lot of W. Grant at star early on, even when the offense was in 3 WR sets, so it wasn’t just meant to be a run stuffing defense
- Gibbs played a lot
- Poole wasn’t out there with the 1’s as much as I expected
3) Quay Walker is a physical freak. He threw somebody down to the ground pretty hard chasing down the sideline
- ILB in general was a revolving door. Taylor, Natrez, Rice, Crowder, Walker, Tindall all worked with the 1’s and 2’s in various rotations. Didn’t see Hunter or McBride get above the 3rd team
4) RLIII cut the dreads, but he was flying around out there. He and Reed are going to be quite the safety duo. Really need both of those guys to stay healthy all year
- Otis Reese is also a freak
- Chris Smith made a few plays
5) On one of Fields’ batted balls, Malik Herring made a diving one handed grab to pick it off. Dude is quite the athlete
Special Teams
Quite the up and down day here
1) Backup kicker (Buce) nailed a 50 yarder. Hot Rod missed one I think, there were lots of made field goals though
2) Camarda boomed his first punt 55 yards, returned 9 yards; boomed his second one 50 with no return. He then proceeded to shank the next two. He's gotta be the guy though, just needs to figure out some consistency.
- Other punters were not impressive
3) Jayson Stanley got reps as second team PR and KR. Thought I was watching Reggie Davis

re: UGA fans; would you trade Kirby and your current trajectory...
Posted by Gainesville_Dawg on 2/12/18 at 9:58 pm
Yes. Then whenever we fire Richt years later, we bring Kirby home from South Carolina.

I was fortunate enough to grab 3 of these for about $215 a piece when the same row/section is going for over $400 online, but they’re in 23L (OU side). Should I try and sell/trade them or stick it out and assume we’ll take over 3/4 of the stadium?
