Dogs’ defense dominating so far … just like it should
Todd Grantham's defense dominated the offense Thursday, which should surprise no one. (Associated Press)
Mark Richt said the Georgia defense dominated in the first day of competitive drills at spring practice, which should surprise … no one.
The shock would have been if Todd Grantham’s defense, returning nine starters from a team that ranked fifth nationally in total defense last season, wasn’t dominating early on.
After all, not only has the defense taken away one of the offense’s biggest weapons this spring in Malcolm Mitchell, but there’s a whole lot more that needs doing on the offensive side, what with rebuilding a line that lost three starters and getting the running game back on track.
Plus, as Aaron Murray noted to The Red and Black after the scoring of Thursday’s practice went to the defense, “Only a small portion of our offense is [installed], so we’ve got a long way to go, a lot of work to do. I’m not worried. I’m very encouraged with what we’ve done the first three days, but they just got us today.”
Meanwhile, the story of the spring that seems to have everyone’s attention is wide receiver Mitchell going over to the other side. You’d think that knowing what routes the receivers are running and how they’ll run them would give him an advantage, but he told the Chattanooga Times Free Press, “It’s a lot tougher than I thought it would be. I may know where the receivers are going, but I still need to learn how to line up in certain coverages. it’s difficult having to learn one thing one year and then a different thing another year. In many ways I feel like a freshman again.”
Still, the feeling of most observers is Mitchell’s athletic talent will allow him to catch up pretty quickly. He’s already discovered the joys of the corner blitz. “It’s exciting to be able to go in there full speed trying to get around a lineman or a running back,” he said.
“It’s fun to watch him go out there and compete,” his head coach said. “You can tell he’s not sure what to do on every single play, but he’s playing with a lot of enthusiasm. He certainly can break on the ball and change direction.”
Whether he just plays defense or goes both ways, I have a feeling Mitchell could make this year’s G-Day game pretty interesting.

RICHT IS ONLY 24-16 THE LAST THREE YEARS. HE HAS YET TO EVEN PLAY IN THE BCS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. TENNESSEE HAS WON A BCS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP, AS HAS ALABAMA-FLORIDA-LSU-AND EVEN AUBURN. THESE SCHOOLS DON’T “DREAM” ABOUT IT——-THEY DID IT!
WITH THAT “CAKEWALK” OF A SCHEDULE NEXT YEAR IF UGA DOES NOT WIN THEM ALL AND GET IN THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME: THEN IT IS TIME FOR RICHT TO GO!
THE UGA DEFENSE WILL BE ABOVE AVERAGE THIS YEAR. AND BY THE WAY FRANKLIN ( THE VANDY COACH) IS A FORMER CAGE FIGHTER THAT COULD HAVE DONE A 360 AND KNOCKED GRANTHAM’S TEETH DOWN HIS THROAT!

The question is not on the defense this fall. It’s all about special teams and the O-Line. The defense can be in the top 5 again nationally, but if our special teams can’t tackle anyone or kick field goals or the O-Line can’t provide protection and establish a running game it won’t matter how good the defense is.

Did Marshall Morgan enroll in January or will he be coming this summer. Since kickoffs will be five yards closer , I wonder if Morgan can put it in the end zone every time. Other teams are going to have to think twice about running the ball out of the end zone because getting it on the 25 is a pretty good argument to never run it out.

A lot of good players have been hurt for the season on kickoffs because the defending team is running at full speed so for that part taking more knees in the end zone will help . It has been a noticeable weakness at Georgia for a few years because of CMR’s reluctance to have his best covering kickoffs trying to hold down the injuries because of our lack of depth. So this should be very helpful if Morgan can get it in the end zone.

Kolton Houston’s eligibility may be the key to this offensive line. He was highly rated out of high school but has zero experience on the college level. Mitchell will be O.K. but worried about the offense without him. I expect he will play more offense than defense after the 1st two games unless Smith isn’t effective in coverage when he returns after suspension.

5′11″ Swain and 6′2″ Mitchell is quite a step up from the 5′8-5′9 corners ol willie loved to recruit. When sanders and b smith come back, we should have the ability to rough up some wideouts on the edge – and if if our opponents try and throw across the middle, we’ve got Bacarri “ballhawk” Rambo and S Williams “The Punisher”.

I think there is a mis-perception here about the UGA offense. I think part of the problem is that it is TOO complicated. The playbook is very thick and the linemen are asked to do alot of different things on each play. Our run blocking is too complex… it is too pro oriented. If a lineman is off by just a little bit the play tanks. The teams that run the ball well have simpler blocking schemes. Coach Bobo doesn’t do a very good job of hiding what he isn’t comfortable with in his game plans. He likes to throw deep to punish teams for bringing guys up into the box but the other side of that is that the extra guys in the box also mean the possibility of extra pass rushers close to the line as well. He doesn’t have a great deal of confidence in running against the numbers and on 3rd and very long he doesn’t feel like our line has a chance to hold on long enough to get a route open. So he runs a conservative draw play to avoid turnovers.
We had very little o-line depth last season and those guys were playing hurt much of the season. You can tell what he feels confident running against X defense. We ran very few screens last year which was probably indicative of the injuries limiting our linemen. We still moved the ball pretty well at times against everyone.
Coach Bobo needs to just decide what the guys he has are capable of running and drill that until they can do it in their sleep. Having a veteran QB is only as good as what the guys around him allow him to do. If he makes a read and somebody botches the play he looks like an idiot. If he makes a read and the line caves in then a great play never gets off the ground. And Coach Bobo is not likely to try it again.
Hopefully our new crop of linemen can stay healthy and execute at a higher level. Otherwise simplify the run blocking and let the back take off.

All Dawgs know this, but with their weak minds, they tend to forget, so here’s a reminder:
Georgia Tech is a very highly ranked academic school that has a football team. Its alumni and fans have real lives and careers that don’t depend on the football team for their happiness.
Georgia, on the other hand, is basically a sell-your-soul-to-the-devil football f-a-c-t-o-r-y that also gives diplomas – worthless as they are. They have sleazy coaches like Mark Richt who have no scruples or ethics, who recruit morons who barely got through high school, and collect huge paychecks, but still can’t win big games.
Now, can you remember all that?

Murray is a loose cannon that has no fear he will be pulled even if he fails to make his proper reads and throws picks. All QB’s will screw up now and then but this guy is a walking pick 6.

Your the type of people most people try to avoid…your Bullsh_t artists who think they know it all….egotisical Bullshi-ers…..please all you blog dwellers go find something else to do….your a laughing stock to most sain college football followers.Because even when your wrong (and thats most of the time) you make excuses instead of admitting you were wrong and that ruins any credibility you may have had….what a joke all of you are!

@Macclenny_dawg,
You are right about Bobo vs. Grantham. In a real game, I don’t know that a Bobo offense would score at all against a Grantham Defense.
Richt should have Bobo sit down for an hour or two each week with CTG and have CTG grade out his past weeks offense and look over his game plan for the coming week. Surely, Grantham can point out really bad tendencies that Defensive coaches spot… like shotgun draw on 3rd and long, or really long developing long passes used too often. CTG should just tell Bobo, look, I hate it when offenses run this play, this play and this play. If you want to win, run these plays a lot.

Seems that just go away feels that some of us posting about football on these threads look as silly as he would if he were posting on a thread about grammar and spelling.

Somebody needs to find out why Grantham dropped from 16th in the country in defensive scoring against ranked teams in 2011, to 60th in 2011.
39 points a game is really bad, 11th in SEC.

LSU’s OFFENSE, with Zach Mettenberger at QB, is dominating their stellar defense so far.
Mettenberger is impressing, 3 td’s, 0 int’s so far.
Can you imagine if the UGA defense had a QB with an arm like Mett’s, who doesn’t throw interceptions?
Could a, should a…
