Talking football . . .
(Hey. Just a note that this is my last post for a while. I’m on vacation until July 14. By then, we’ll be only about a week away from SEC football media days, to be soon followed by the start of preseason practice . . . and, before you know it, the trip to Stillwater. For now, here are a couple of stories I did on the impact of Georgia’s ultra-lucrative new marketing and media deals — this one about how some of the new money will be spent and this one about the effect on the fans.)
Athens — About once a week in the quiet months between spring ball and preseason practice, a number of Georgia football players meet with beat reporters covering the team at the Butts-Mehre building. Honestly, these sessions don’t generate much news. But here are a few things I picked up in this week’s availability:
– Another voice expressed the view that the defense is motivated to redeem itself after last year’s debacles. “I feel we don’t get as much respect as we need to, but that comes in due time,” linebacker Marcus Dowtin said. “Based on some of the things that happened over last year, I think we kind of got looked down upon. I mean, we have a lot to improve on, and that’s what we’re working hard to do this year.” Asked if he’s approaching the season with a chip on his shoulder, Dowtin said: “The whole defense is . . . preparing like that, working hard. I feel personally that I’m definitely working harder preparing with a chip on my shoulder because I have a lot to prove.”
– As you know, there’s lots of need –- and opportunity –- at the receiver position, where the Dogs will be looking for guys to step up beyond sophomore star A.J. Green and productive senior Michael Moore. In his second season in the program, Tavarres King thinks he’s ready to play a big role. “I’ve got a long way to go, but I’m feeling more comfortable,” King said. “The speed of the game has kind of slowed down to me.” He’s put on eight pounds since the end of spring practice, to 184.
– King said the reality is that Green “is going to get double-teamed. He got double-teamed a lot last year. But it’s very important to find that guy [to take some pressure off]. It could be Marlon Brown, could be Rantavious Wooten, could be Mike Moore, Israel Troupe, myself.” King said the receivers, as a group, are “viewing it as an opportunity. Eveybody’s eyes are wide open for this thing.”
– Like others, King thinks freshman tight end Orson Charles and freshman cornerback Branden Smith will contribute at WR. On Charles: “Orson is awesome. . . He’s always ready to go. You can tell he’s got his head on his shouders. He’s always focused, excited. He’s a smooth cat.” On Smith: “Branden can run like a gazelle.”
— Richard Samuel, the sophomore tailback who missed spring practice after wrist surgery, said he’s not quite 100 percent yet. “I can’t do as much weight” as before the injury, he said. But he reiterated he’ll be a full participant in the battle for the tailback job come August.
– Samuel agreed the tailback battle will be decided by much more than ball carrying. “Basically what the coach looks for [is] someone who can still get the job done without the ball –- running your routes, making the right blocks, making the right reads,” Samuel said. “So having those components is essential . . to be the starting running back or the running back who gets the most touches.”
– I missed the visit with tackle Trinton Sturdivant while working on another story elsewhere, but he told my esteemed colleagues on the beat that the versatile offensive line is working out this summer with a stable No. 1 unit: LT Sturdivant, LG Vince Vance, C Ben Jones, RG Cordy Glenn and RT Clint Boling. Of course, no one will be surprised if that changes a bit by Sept. 5. Sturdivant, who missed all of last season after knee surgery, is 100 percent.
– And finally, Samuel weighed in on the team’s attitude and approach: “Everybody is working harder, pushing themselves harder. Everybody is just striving, striving for the best. . . . Basically, the team is leading the team. We are not allowing anybody to slack off.”

I hope the attitude Marcus Dowtin has is with the entire Defense. My biggest problem with Georgia’s Defense (and any football team I like for that matter) is with a little thing called TACKLING. I mean really how hard is it to wrap a guy up or grab his leg as you are going down. I mean you are already there, dont shoulder bump and hope he goes down or out of bounds. Wrap him up and make him go DOWN!! And if you miss the tackle for God sakes GRAB HIS LEG AND SHOESTRING HIM!!

Leave it to a Tech fan to get 1 win in 8 years then start talking smack. Gave up 42 points in that win too. The next game gave up 38 and got kicked by LSU. So 5 months later they are experts on football and go from blog to blog talking about how sorry UGA is and others and that PJ is the savior. You know UGA fans have been crticized so often for being fair weather or delusional. Since Tech won 1 (That is ONE game in the past 8 years) you would think it was 1990 all over again. So funny. Now watch if PJ loses a few again this season, the same fans on here downing the Dawgs will not be found and the rest will be saying that it’s PJ’s fault or the QB’s fault.
The Dawg’s D will obviously be improved. Not sure how the season will go though. I do know this, come game time in Atlanta in November no way Richt & co lose two in a row to Tech.
GATA!

Marcus Downtin is going to be a beast at LB. Along with my boy Marcus Washington. Did anyone see the red/black game? Our offense could barely get a play off when those guys were on the field. Understand this…UGA has as much talent as anyone in the country! We just need to put it all together and I think we will. A blowout of overrated Okie State will be our proving ground.

Marcus, you don’t “get” respect when Bama paste you for 31 first half points, Florida smokes you for 49, and last but not least Tech post 45 points and 400+ yards rushing on you. If you were 1/2 as pi$$ed as I was about those debacles last year there would be some serious attitude adjustments going on in that locker room. You have to earn that repsect. Tell you what you take care of OSU starting the season and you “get” 1/2 that respect back. You guys are fully capable of doing better.

I hope my dawgs come here and represent because these okie state fans and even sooner fans think that the pokies are going to put a whoopin on that bulldog defense with their high octane offense. I’ll be at the game, and I’ve been holding down for the dawgs and talking smack but I hope they don’t let me down, because I don’t like crow.
I told them we’ve heard this story before about they having the world greatest offense coming in to Athens back in 07 and got beat down, but they say it going to be different this time.
The thing is being out here and have seen the players and their coaching staff, they are a lot better offensively, probably top five offenses in the nation, if our defense is even half as bad as it was last year I will be looking for the exits by halftime. So hopefully Dowtin’s confidence and attitude is speaking for the whole defense.

Bill W., Spot on. You would think the engineers would be better at math. They did win, but only by 3 points. They talk and laugh hysterically like it was a 30 point blowout.
Otto, have to agree with you, FG does spend a lot of his keyboard poking yacking about yanking chains. I guess that is his favorite euphemism for letting us all know what a wanker his is. Being a geek and a wanker go hand in hand (or pants,) at the computer–just comes naturally to them.
gdawginkalamazoo, we all shared the frustration. But the only time I think attitude was really a problem was in the first half of the Bama game when everyone stood stunned and silent. Dawgs won the second half, after they came back to life, but obviously not by enough to overcome the first half pasting.
When any team has 19 – 20 starters with season ending injuries it is going to have a devastating effect. To have that happen and still win 10 games playing that schedule should earn a least a little respect. And you are right, it does have to be earned each and every game.
I know they have to work hard and get after it in practice, but if we can get to the season without self destructing with major injuries I think a lot of the preseason prognosticators will be surprised.
Woof!

I don’t act this way towards Auburn fans or Carolina fans. I actually respect them as individuals.
That is the difference. Plus, I have never heard so much trash talking and chest pumping after one fluke of a shoot-out victory where neither teams defenses showed up that day. We never, ever, EVER acted this way towards Florida in 97′ and 07′. I knew one victory would not change the series and therefore kept my mouth freaking shut!

Dogs will have earned any respect that is needed by the end of the year, maybe by the end of the first game. As far as bumbling bees on this blog, they don’t have one and are too busy trying to keep the student body out of Terrorist Plots, and defended the Tech Concrete Campus against the local gangs.
One other thing that should help our defense will be we can move the ball behind a good line, and keep the d rested a little. Some of you people do not understand fundamentals of football, and if you can keep the ball and scored, the other team has to do the same. With the good D, that we will have, we will be doing a lot of that. You may not have people jumping over tacklers, but you should see a solid running game, and a solid passing game.

I know you dont talk that trash everywhere not becasue you have respect for anyone else but becasue you know you’ll get put in your place (beat down).

But I can at Tech and yes, time after time again I have seen bulldog fans walk all over Tech fans when games are in the ghetto. It is hilarious yet sad. No other school does a more pathetic job sticking up for itself when push comes to shove.
So Vandy, get off your high horse. If you want to keep looking at your “WWJD” wrist band while I seek pay back, more power to you. And I act like a jerk only when provoked. Guess you are the type to just turn the other cheek. Well that’s not me. So we are different. I’m sorry that bothers you so much.

honeslty, I dont give two chits what JWD. I believe that winning a game always earns anyone the right to trash talk for a year. That said, the whole “I took their seats even the jocks” story of yours was just posturing. Like I said, you made it up. No worries.

Hey Techies, just becuase you write that you are NC doesn’t mean that you are or were! You shared one with Colorado in 1990 or sometime like that. I guess you will start claiming now that you are gymnastic, baseball, golf, softball, swimming, and any other sport you can name. The only thing of which you bumbling bees, are national champs is academic fraud, shooting students, creating american al Qaueda, and creating terrible entrance exit ramps on interstates. By the way you work for UGA grads.

Well we finally got a break from the heat here in South Ga, it’s a balmy 97 in Albany now. The humidity is down to about 90%, it’s like spring, if we had a spring down here. You guys leave Vandy alone, his name is Vanderbilt, so he can do whatever he wants. I think Dowtin, Cummings, Rambo, and Williams will be heard from on the field this year and all will earn plenty of respect. Shane is leaving the building, peace!

Charlotte Dawg…..my intention was not to try and police the blog or single you out. Believe me, I understand the annoyance of Tech fans. My intentions were to find a blog about football and thought considering our defense is my #1 concern coming in to this year, that maybe some good discussion would be going on here. Instead it’s mostly blather about past scores, who’s got the best looking girls and campuses, who’s a nerd and who’s a bad-a$$, who emplys who, which team is gay or who has tickle piles. Thats fine. Wasnt trying to look down on anyone or be too “uptight”….I just thought it might be nice for UGA fans to stick to the topic at hand instead of concerntrating so much on getting “payback”, as you said, to the Tech fans who troll these blogs. I prefer for the payback to be on the field next year not in the stands. But, whatever.

I wish this blog was that way Vandy, but it is not. You should borrow some of that hate from me b/c it is Terrorist Tech that ruins these blogs. We don’t go over there typically. We don’t even want to interact with them in any capacity. They, however, are like the nerds that always look up to the cool kids…wanting to participate and be heard. They are not like us…they should just go away and interact amongst themselves. I’m assuming you had students in your high school that went to tech. I had some. And they were all the same.
Payback, however must be given in the stands and on the net. People need to learn their lesson. These tech blow hards have even managed to embarrass other Tech fans.
So if you want to talk football…that’s fine brother. I wish someone would write an article on Dantavious Jackson, the lessor know of our highly recruited running backs. Or I wish someone would write about Quinton Banks and his progression. Guy was going to be the next G. Blue but he just can’t for the life of him stay healthy.

It’s a total team effort: offense, defense, and special teams need to improve for UGA this year. That was the problem with last year’s team. If the defense played well,( like they did against South Carolina, Arizona State, Auburn, and Michigan State) the offense would suck and commit too many penalties. If the offense played well (like they did against LSU, Kentucky, and Tech), the defense couldn’t stop anyone. Usually UGA has one game where they put it all together ( 51-7 vs. Tech in 2002 or 37-15 vs. Auburn in 2006), and when they do they are down right dominant. They didn’t have a single game last year where I felt like they put it all together( offense, defense and special teams). That needs to change this season.

Mark Richt needs to tell all the players; If you shoulder bump to try and bring an opponent down because you don’t want to get hurt or you’re tired or whatever, you WILL sit out the rest of the game and the next one to get your rest, and put someone in that wants it!!!

Coach D – Good assessment. You’re correct that there wasn’t a “complete”/dominating game last season.
follow the money trail – CMR needs to crack down on discipline indeed. He needs to have them running gassers for each missed block, missed tackle, fumble & dropped pass. The Dawgs needs to focus on mastering the fundementals…blocking, tackling & protecting the football. The downside of recruiting some of these (supposed) 4-5 “bluechippers” is that they have a sense of entitlement & a primadonna attitude.

The heart of the Georgia LB, Dowtin in this case, has never been the problem. The problem is that the daily lesson plan for the defense stinks. Motivating these kids to try harder will only result in further wasted efforts, as they deserve coaches better than the ones they have…it’s like a house that is wired wrong, and we are talking today about giving it more juice to fix the problem. The Georgia defense is wired wrong – especially at linebacker, as neither Jancek or CWM appears to have what it takes to coach a defense in the SEC. Sure, we’ll do well when we can out-athlete the bad guys, but when it comes down to coaching, as it so often does, we are toast. It places an unfail burden on Bobo and the offense, and it is a defensive coaching unit that would not have lasted at any of the other big guys in the SEC.
Shame on CMR for not making the adjustment.

Marcus Dowtin is a freak. Started vs. Chippewas. Hard nose hard hitting LB. Dawgs D will be hard to run against.. ask Javon Ringer, we held his azz under 50 yds rush in the Capital One. Tech better work on their passing game, b/c you won’t run on us again. Yes, y’all beat us fair and square, but I promise you, that’ll never happen again. We’ll shut down Nesbitt first.. hit him hit him hit him and hit him before and after he pitches the ball….. you can but you can’t hide Nesbi..
