UGA depth chart shows opportunities for incoming ‘Dream Team’
Officially the football depth chart released Monday by UGA is labeled “post-spring,” but it might as well be designated the “placeholder” chart.
As was painfully clear if you read past the top names at several positions (and even if you only read the top names at a couple), there are going to be chances for some members of Mark Richt’s “Dream Team” to battle for playing time early in their collegiate careers.
Mostly, the depth chart played out like you’d expect from what the coaches have been saying since G-Day, but one of the eye-openers was tailback, where Caleb King was listed as the starter, as expected, with diminutive Carlton Thomas (5-feet-7, 163 pounds) next, followed surprisingly by equally diminutive walk-on Brandon Harton (5-feet-6, 174 pounds) ahead of the much talked about redshirt freshman Ken Malcome. This could, of course, merely be a reflection of hard-working Harton having made a really good showing in the spring while Malcome was hobbled with hamstring problems. At least, that’s what I’m hoping. Obviously, the arrival of Isaiah Crowell will shake this chart up considerably.
Then there’s the offensive line, where there was no surprise in the starters listed (Cordy Glenn at left tackle, Kenarious Gates left guard, Ben Jones center, Chris Burnette right guard and Justin Anderson right tackle), but you got slapped in the face with just how thin Georgia is on the line by seeing walk-on Hugh Williams listed second at left tackle. In reality, Richt has said that if either starting tackle goes down, Gates will switch over from guard, but any SEC depth chart that lists a walk-on as the main backup is cause for concern.
The listing of Sanders Commings still at cornerback wasn’t really a surprise, but the coaches have said he’ll probably get another look in August at safety, where Shawn Williams currently is listed as starter as strong safety and Jakar Hamilton is backing up Bacarri Rambo at free safety.
Playing freshmen on the OL would be strictly a worst-case scenario, but besides Crowell, John Jenkins on the defensive line, Ray Drew getting a look at linebacker, and plenty of opportunity for Malcolm Mitchell at wide receiver, the secondary is definitely the area where we’re likely to see a true freshman (Damian Swann, Nick Marshall or Corey Moore) get some playing time.
I’m sure for several of Georgia’s position coaches, August can’t come soon enough.
A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE
I was at lunch over in Athens Monday with my brother Jon and his UGA student daughter when my niece was greeted by a man she’s met while working as a waitress at a downtown restaurant. The guy is a street artist and showed her his two latest works featuring a Georgia Bulldog theme. They were really good. That in itself wouldn’t be unusual in Athens, but the man has no arms and draws his amazing works by holding a marker in his teeth. He didn’t stay long, but while there he talked about what a “blessing” his artistic ability is and how he likes to provide an example to others that “you can do anything you want to.”
I’m going to try and keep that guy in mind next time I feel like complaining. About anything.

Before all the haters come and chime in with their obsession of all things UGA football, and pretend like they know how to coach better than Richt, let’s all go over the definition of the “Dream Team” again:
“Dream Team”: A title given to a group of desired in-state recruits on the top of UGA’s wish list, meant to spark a sense of pride within them to stay in state and represent the team that represents the state in which they already represent.
Said “Dream Team” in NO WAY represents all 2011 recruits, or even all of the recruits from Georgia. Only a select few of the top recruits which UGA dubbed as the”Dream Team” hold the title.
Finally, for the haters who cannot wait for UGA to experience their first loss this upcoming season, and scream from the top of the mountain “What about that “Dream Team” Richt recruited??”, you need to realize that NO logical UGA fan expects the “Dream Team” to have any sort of major impact this upcoming season. Any positive production from any of them will be great, but we are not counting on THEM to turn us around in 2011.
Continue on to your hating, and obsession. Thanks.
GO DAWGS!!!!

The artist you referred to Bill has been a staple of downtown Athens for quite some time now.
For those who want to see him and his work, he usually sets up right outside of the Five Guys and Ben & Jerry’s in the square of downtown.
His work really is amazing.

I’m wondering about letting Bruce figgins take some reps on the OL for depth. He is 30-40 pounds heavier than anyone on the depth chart other than the starters plus he is a senior.
UGA Insider says 7-5 for us this year but I’m not buying his doom and gloom. The 1st team OL is very good. The running backs which he says is a shambles, has King and Malcome and Crowell. Our WR’s are good enough and we have great tight ends. Our kicking game is one of the best around and the defense is going to be improved.
Murray in his 3rd year(2nd playing) now knows the checkdowns to make at the line of scrimmage. The plays won’t need to be scripted from the sideline(for you Bobo haters, that is good news).
5 losses out of boise,SC,MSU,UM,UT,VU,KY,FL,AU and GT??
I don’t see it.

Bill,
Any chance Hutson Mason or Christian Lemay get to #1 on the depth chart before the Boise game? Sure hope so. Murray was ok against teams like Lafayette, but couldn’t lead the team to a win against ranked teams. Need a leader who can beat Florida & SC. Sick of losing to Florida. Only won 3 times since 91′.

Bill. You’re right. Your starters look pretty good, but the drop in talent on the OL from the 1st unit to the second is substantial. And the 2nd unit has more injuries than the 1st. Benedict and Long have major injuries from High School, and Lee is fighting Asthma symptons. Kolton Houston and walk ons are your only healthy reserves Your 2011 OL class, for a number of reasons, including youth, are not SEC ready.Talk about living on the edge ! I’m afraid your starting offensive line cannot be as physical as they need to be, because of risk of injury. This depth problem restricts a lot of what you need to do offensively to win in the SEC.

G Dawg 91′ -Football is a team sport. Just bc Murray didn’t lead the team to any wins against top opponents doesn’t mean he’s not a good QB. He did great as far as his Fr. numbers,, & I know numbers aren’t everything. Just remember that last yr. he was a Fr., & he had one of the best Fr. seasons ever. He did come real close against several good teams though. Sometimes you play other teams that are just better.

Wow I saw this this depth chart last night on Scout.com. We are tissue paper thin on the O-line. I’m not getting that warm and fuzzy feeling here. The returning starters couldnt open holes last year what’s different now? The best receiver in the last 20yrs is gone and there is no possible way to replace #8. The defensive front 7 should be astronomically better but the secondary is much the same. Williams couldn’t keep the job last year over a freshman (a darn good one though) and Rambo is overrated just turn on the tape it won’t lie. Hamilton “The Hitman” didn’t lay the wood to anyone last year. I hope that I’m wrong, but those are facts.

Doesn’t look like Malcome is the back a lot of people thought he was. If he was any good he would have played last year. This is not going to be a good year for UGA. McGarity should have made the move with CMR last year and at least Dawg fans would have some hope this year for the future. Now we have to wait another year.

To all the idiots that predict that we are going to lose 5 or 6 games..I’d like for you to name the games that we are going to lose. That would mean that we’d have to lost to Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Tennessee, etc. We’re not going to lose to Boise, SC is a toss up, we will nab Florida this season. Coastal Carolina? Get real. New Mexico St? Yeah right. If we lose more than 3 games this season I’ll be shocked to the uppermost. With our schedule, with our recruiting class, with our talent and being in the 2nd year of the 3-4 defense, I say we win 10 games at least ONLY if we beat Boise and SC. If we start 2-0, watch out.
P.S. people act like a 7 loss season is the norm for UGA. Go back over time and see how dominant UGA was and tell me if that’s normal for UGA. We’re going to get back to the old glory days of UGA pretty soon starting in 2011. You haters just wait and see. GO DAWGS!

And before you GT or Auburn fans start to talk junk, we own both of you. Auburn’s win in 2010 was their only win over the Dawgs since 2005. Don’t believe me? Go do your research. In 06, we blasted you guys with a freshman QB in Stafford 37-15. In 07, (blackout) we blasted you on our turf 45-20. In 08 it was a hard fought battle but we overcame to win the game. In 09 it was another hard fought battle but we came out on top. In 2010, FINALLY Auburn gets a win over UGA.
GT, well I don’t have to explain it. Go back over the past 10 years and count how many times GT has beaten UGA. I can count on one hand. Better yet, just hold up one finger. That’s right. One time.

OL is thin, this is true. That doesnt fare well for the running game this year. Bobo will need to get creative with the weapons we have. Nick Marshall, Brandon Smith, and King will need to step up for sure. We have speed on this team maybe they can take advantage of that and try to minimize the lack of depth on the OL. On the positive side, defense will be much improved IMO. Defense will need to win games for us this year.

Look at it this way, if UGA beats Boise and SC in back to back weeks that will almost guarantee them a spot in the top 10. Looking down the rest of our schedule, the only team that seems to be a challenge would be Florida. Tennessee maybe but I still think they’re a year away. After Boise and SC, the schedule goes like this…Coastal Carolina, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Florida, New Mexico St, Auburn, Kentucky, and Georgia Tech. If we start 2-0 like I said, I want you guys to name me 4 or 5 teams that are going to supposedly beat the Dawgs.

Auburn WILL NOT be the same without Cam, Fairley and some more key players. Kentucky won’t be as good on offense without Cobb, Hartline, Locke, etc. If we can beat Florida this season, I have a great feeling about our year. Even if we don’t beat Florida, we should be looking at a 10-2 season AT WORST. Start off 2-0, end the season 11-1. Honestly. If we can beat Florida, then it’s 12-0. If we go 12-0, and win the SEC, we play for the national title. Hey Auburn did it when they were coming off a bad season…why can’t we?

The guy above me is an idiot. I have a fact for you guys. Of the 7 games we lost last season, FOUR were by a TD or less. It was either a fumble in a crucial situation or a mental lapse that caused us to lose. I know 7 losses are 7 losses but you have to look at it like what if? What if Ealey doesn’t fumble against South Carolina and Mississippi State? What if Murray throws it a big high so Durham can clib the ladder and snatch it in the Florida game to win it? The little things we have to correct. I think this season is going to be special.

For everybody on the Boise State bandwagon, after we beat them where will you be? “Oh they weren’t that good anyway.” “What do you expect? They’re from the WAC!” I can hear the excuses now. But it’s funny a few months ago everybody said we were going to get blown out. I think it’s funny when people do that. How is Boise going to handle our defense. They’ve NEVER seen a defense like that before. We have LBs that run as fast as their RBs. Safeties that hit like LBs. Corners bigger than their receivevrs. Georgia is out to prove the doubters wrong, they’re hungry, wanting to prove that Boise can’t beat them. They’ve been working hard all season long, staying out of trouble for that goal. Boise is in trouble.

Richt doesn’t do well against ranked teams, 2-9, so that’s 3 losses there. Richt was also 0-6 against winning teams last year, so that’s more losses to Florida, Georgia Tech, and Tenn.
Richt should go 6-1 aginst losing teams, and 0-5 against winning teams, pretty much, just like 2010.

South Carolina is going to beat us like a drum which will be a new low in the series. UGA has NEVER lost two in a row to USCe. USCe is going to have one of the best defensive units in the country and we all know what they have on offense. Looking at our depth chart I don’t even know if we will score against them. Match that loss with another loss to UF and I think we have a new coaching staff by Jan 1. My money is on Chris Peterson…by the way… he is meeting with McGarity at the Chick Filet- game.

@RabidDawg – WOW! Those are some pretty lofty expectations! Why dont you take it one game at atime and see where you are after the first few weeks? Just tyring to help. Not saying you CAN’T go 12-0, but saying that if you win the first 2 games and then beat Florida you’ll go undefeated is exactly why you never beat florida…. Florida looks at UGA as maybe the 2-3rd biggest game on the schedule, our season never rests on beating uga. There is something to be said for playing loose and not letting small mistakes compound like uga does every single year in that game. You can see it on the coach’s, player’s and fan’s faces the second something doesn’t go to plan. The whole sideline breathes a collective sigh of, here we go again…. That’s what happens when in may you hinge your season on beating florida…..

We will beat Florida this year. Who is on your starting O-line? Name one impact guy at receiver for you. Name your secondary. Is Brantley still your QB? God I hope not. He’s awful. A 9 to 10 TD/INT ratio won’t cut it in the SEC buddy.

People need to get a grip. I remember back in 2002 we had a line that was banged up but they played through it. Offensive line is the position where you break fingers, break hands, scratch up knuckles. The toughest of the tough fight it out in the trenches. If these boys aren’t ready to put their body on the line then they don’t need to be here. Back in 02 we won the SEC title with the same situation we’re in now. But what happened to the heart that we had back then. What has changed?

I was watching ESPN the other night when they were announcing this year’s pre-season ranking and they had Boise State at #5 ? I believe they are that good and Georgia will need to buckle their chin straps and go all out or we could lose this game.
I still believe Georgia will have a good year. I believe the offensive line will be much stronger and I’m sure they will be ok. I do have some concern for rb, and hope that someone/or several of the backs step up or it could be a long season. I still intrigued by Malcome and feel that he could very well be the key.
Either way, it’s good to be a Georgia fan in Colorado. GO DAWGS!!!

The Oline is the only serious issue we have imo.I don’t see why Shawn Williams gets so much flak…he played every bit as well as Olgeltree(Tree had horrible cover skills)If the front 7 can get at least a decent pass rush the secondary should be fine.For all the Crowell talk going around I still say Jenkins and Geathers are the two most important players on the team besides Murray

Besides the ATM receipt from the Bellagio for …. EIGHT-HUNDRED DOLLARS!! Here’s what I got for the Dawgs in 2011:
They will beat BSU in game 1 b/c BSU ain’t that good. They are ONE-DIMENSIONAL after losing 2 stud WRs and 1 stud TE. Unless the WR/TE replacements are just as good as their predecesors, GA wins this one easily. So Dawg fans quit trying to build this as some BIG TIME opponent, BSU ain’t that!
Most likely a loss to SC … they are just simply better. And probably have better coaching.
Now … to GA’s offensive concerns:
If the O-Line isn’t very good to great then the Dawgs will lose more than most think. As the Dawgs will be ONE-DIMENSIONAL as well. You don’t lose AJ Green & the White Boy, a couple Sr OL, your best returning OLineman, and WE (kid had talent, just no discipline) and get … better. If the OL can’t protect AM, with no bailout option in AJ then the O will struggle.
Nobody foresaw these losses (MSU, Colorado, or Ark), and the Dawgs had better offensive pieces last year.
I believe GA is 2-1 heading into the meat grinder part of the schedule:
9/24 AT Ole miss
10/1 vs. Miss St
10/8 AT Tenn
10/15 AT Vandy
10/29 AT Jax vs. UF
IF the Dawgs lose to BSU and SC … the meat grinder will what determines GA’s over or under .500 record in 2011.

Doc…………….You are so right. If we can’t run the ball and lose games 1 and 2, the whole season will just be for talking about the new head coach while the season plays out. If we can’t run the ball, we could lose a couple of Games like Miss St and Auburn again. Florida would be tough, as I think their D will be tough….and Tech would be in play. We run the ball and win those first two, We go to Jacksonville undefeated!

Looking at this season obectively, here is what I think:
In regards to the team- I like Aaron Murray. I think everything should filter through him offensively like it did towards the end of last season. The offense just flows better that way, even though I know the running game “purist” don’t like that kind of offense. Now with that being said, I think the receiving corp is going to have to step up BIG TIME not just to replace AJ’s production but Kris Durham’s as well. Tavarres King has been way too inconsistent for my liking and Orson Charles drops too many passes. One of these guys needs to step up and be a CONSISTENT factor this year, otherwise the offense will struggle. I also think the defense lacks talent. However, being in the system another year will help and moving Ogletree to LB was a good decision. So I say they are marginally better this year. Losing AJ Green those first 4 games really took the air out UGA’s season last year. They would have probably finished 8-4 instead of 6-6, had AJ played the entire year. The offense just had more confidence when he played.
Now in regards to the schedule: UGA is in rebuild mode, but then again so is everyone else. Boise State lost a ton of folks, UT is young, Auburn will be down, Florida is learning a new system on offense and defense. The SEC EAST is an absolute joke, but if I had to put my money on a team winning it, it would be the South Carolina Gamecocks. Even with Stephen Garcia’s problems, they seem to have the most talent and experience. I don’t think the Dawgs have the horses on both sides of the ball to win the SEC EAST, but I think they can finish 8-4 and go to a decent bowl game IF they are willing to work hard for it and not expect things to just happen.

Our head coach in ‘02 coached to win games. He was bold and often gambled. Does everyone else remember David Greene passing the ball down the field on 3rd and 25? Or getting in the hurry-up offense on the very first series of most games, then several more times during games? Fake punts and trick plays? All out rushes to block punts?
Richt now coaches to not lose. No boldness, just predictablilty. 3rd and 12? We run up the middle, then punt. 2nd and 1? He never ever calls a play-action pass. 4th and goal from the 1 in a meaningless bowl game? Goes for the FG.
Maybe he will thake some chances now that his career at UGA is on the line. He better.

I think Ray Drew will be a tremendous leader on defense. A lot of the incoming Freshmen will play this year and provide the defense with the depth that will make them nationally ranked. Even though our offense will be challenged the old Dawg teams won a lot of games with only a great defense and thus the reputation of the JUNKYARD DAWGS. I think this could be one of those years with a great field goal kicker returning. A lot of low scoring games. example: 13-10. What is wrong with that prediction? You are not giving any credit to the defense and the possibility they can carry the team.

Don’t quite understand how it is that we’re going to keep getting better while all the folks we’re playing are destined to get worse. Fact is the talent level in the SEC is for the most part pretty equal. The teams that excel have distinctive reasons for that. Witness AL and AU. UGA has no Heisman candidate as far as I can tell, and too much inexperience in key positions to believe we’ll excel in any aspect of the game except kicking. The roster spots for incoming freshman offer some hope, but that will take a couple seasons to play out. Let’s have a winning season. I’m happy to start there.

Let’s think about Insider’s statement. McGarity is going to meet with the coach of the opposing team either before or after his own team plays against him. So, let’s say he is meeting with Coach Richt, how is that conversation going to go?
“I’m pulling for you to make it Mark but just in case, I’m talking to Boise’s coach.”
Kinda affects the realtionship between the AD and the head football coach doesn’t it?

TN might be better moving the ball, but they have just as many question as we have. Everybody thinks their defense is “too small and too slow”. Based on that alone we seem to have an advantage in that game.
Auburn is completely starting over. Weird series there, but no reason whatsoever to favor them.
Miss State played as well as they could, at their place, and couldn’t beat our worst team in year…..till we gave flat gave it away in mistakes. name where.

As for South Carolina, they didn’t wreak havoc on the SEC like everyone says. They are still that 5 loss a season team and they went 9-5. I could see it if they went 11-1, or 12-0 and just took the SEC by storm. But by no means did they do that. This is the same team that beat Alabama but lost to Kentucky the following week. They’ll have to win an SEC championship before they’re considered “feared” or “elite”.

It’s tempting and fun to chalk up wins and losses before the first game’s been played. But it’s pretty silly, considering that most of the so-called experts, even the ones who get paid to do such things, can’t accurately predict what they’ll be having for supper. UGA is going to win some games it shouldn’t; and no doubt, lose some games it shouldn’t. In the end what I want to see is a team that does right by the university and the sport. Debating whether or not that’s happening makes a lot more sense than explaining why we’ve won or lost games that are yet to be played.

Murray spent a good deal of time running for his life. No telling what he could have done had the offensive line been better than average. The running game might have been average, too, and several of those losses would have been in the “W” column. Wooda, shooda, cooda. Oh well. But the line up for this year does not look all that promising either, especially when the injury bug is factored into the equation. Did not see anything on either of the lines that would indicate high expectations.

Because our offensive line has no depth I hope that they will at least be strong enough to protect Murray long enough for him to develop the play he is calling . But two Tailbacks that are only 5ft. 6 inches should not even get one carry at that position. Malcomb will be great if he can get over his ham string injury and along with Crowell that will take a lot of pressure off the offensive line. Before we use the little tailbacks I would let Marshall play the position.

At the age of thirteen, Michael was involved in a tragic accident that left him without his arms and toes. Despite feelings of insecurity and self-doubt, Michael decided to challenge himself and live a normal life. Two years after the accident, Michael was encouraged by a childhood friend to start drawing! Drawing quickly became a passion for Michael, and today this passion has allowed him to inspire those individuals fortunate enough to cross his path. It is truly remarkable to see how Michael has turned his disability into an ability! This brief comment that I am leaving about Michael barely scratches the surface. Michael faces constant struggles in his personal life that test his character far greater than his disability ever could. I have been extremely blessed and very humbled to learn more about Michael on a personal basis; he needs an opportunity to share his story with more individuals seeking inspiration!
Please check out phase one of the official Michael Davenport Art website. This will be used as a vehicle to promote his story and to further share the inspiration!

Must be a pretty sad existence when DAWG haters have to come to a blog about the DAWGS and spew their asinine remarks and venom all the time. I realize that most of the SEC teams, probably don’t have their own blogs, and maybe not even a paper that reports on them, but folks give it a break. I am sure AJC appreciates you as a web hit, but not for very much else. The reason that you do not have your own blogs and your local media realizes that a lot of those fans can’t read anyway. Why waste the ink.

Teasley51, I think we are related, good or bad. Anyway nice analysis Bill. You’re only problem is you don’t do the homer thing, you call it like it is. Those Dawg fans don’t want to hear it. Depth is always a huge problem for any team. People will go down during the course of a season. Once someone goes down, it throws the whole chemistry off. The old OL coach was real good at doing patch up work.
Let’s see how good Will Friend does, I am pulling for him.

So you are saying the Mallett, Garcia, McEleroy had slow releases, worse than Murray? Those upperclass multi-year starters, all had slower releases than our freshman did. Interesting.

So Chip Towers has banned me again. Great. Just lost tons of blog posts.
Those of us who love UGA should leave this cow pasture known as the AJC blogs anyway.
No registration required.
Can change your blog handle multiple times.
Later folks.

OK I,ll Bite,
what does the video posted at 9:02 have to do with anything remotely related to football. If the poster is not a young dumb kid, then surely he must have stopped at 5th grade and considered that his Grad. School. What a waste of blog space that was.
Lex,
do you know of any blogs for UGA that I can go to? I am a little tired of the AJC letting anybody post on here just so they can increase their web hits. Some of these folks just come on here to insult others and AJC thinks that is OK. I would like to go to a place where football is honestly talked about, and it doesn’t turn into a insult latent bunch of B.S.

UGA will need some injury luck for sure and if so you can get thru the year with 7 offensive lineman (not counting TE) if those guys are in good shape and all practice at learning different positions. Bama did just that in both 2008 and 2009. In 2010 every lineman we had was hurt so luck is just that luck.
lex you are a whiner, see ya

I don’t think the AJC is really doing anything different from any other publication that has a web site. Hits show readership. I just wish they would filter out some of the entries that are just plain crude and seek to cut down these kids that play football. People are weldcome to cut me down all they want because I am just too darn old to care, but leave the kids alone. They read these blogs also, and they have feelings.

Sturdivant and Gates played O line very well as Freshman, so you never know.
This Harton kid could inspire!
