Georgia football releases preseason depth chart
Georgia just released it’s post-spring depth chart on Monday afternoon. There were virtually no surprises, though in some areas such as offensive line is becomes very apparent how severe the lack of depth is. Two walk-ons are among the two-deep there.
Following is the entire list. Let’s hear your thoughts . . .

Scoring against ranked teams dropped from 36 game in 2007, down to 16 a game with Murray, down from 20 a game with Joe Cox.

Murray is #3 best QB on UGA, I’d put right now, based on what I saw on G-Day:
#1 Hutson Mason
#2 Christian Lemay
#3 Aaron Murray
Spokesman for the SEC East

Murray might be the best QB to have never beaten a team with a winning record.

Ok well cant argue with that can I. You know football b/c you played at Cobb, would have played at UGA but got hurt. Sounds like you need a long weekend with the Robin Williams movie, Best of Times and a bottle of Arbot Mist.

This guy we label a TROLL, Burt,James, Joel, elliott or whatever name he is using now, actually works for the AJC.
He generates blog hits and the AJC guys who blog must get paid based on the number of hits in their blogs.

Question for all you anti-murray idiots- When the other sec coaches name him all conference this year, will that be because they also have a mythical unearned allegiance to him like you say Richt does? Pull your heads out of your arses..

Your posts are stupid – you can’t determine who “good teams” are. Murray is simply the best QB we’ve had since Matt. If we don’t win the SEC this year and another NC in the next 3 years I’ll give you my truck.

10th in SEC out of 12 teams in scoring against good teams.

Murray was better than Vanderbilt’s QB. So I can’t say the offense he led was the worst in the SEC in scoring, but it was close.

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.
Especially without AJ & Ealey’s 20 td’s. And without Durham.
Losers lose, winners win.

You can be as negative as you like but I think you may be a bit jealous. That’s the only reason to be on a UGA board bashing.
Are you most jealous of our 5 National Championships or just our tradeation of winning year in and year out?
Go back to you’re own board, LOSER

Guys, say what you want, but I’m leaning on the side of caution this yr. In recent yrs past I’ve been jumping on that wagon saying that UGA would be back to typical, proud UGA football. However I’m now leaning on the ‘believe it when I see it’ wagon. Sorry, just the way I feel. I agree w/ UGA Insider
& Mean Machine. I get all hyped-up waiting on fall time & then see SCar with there big, tall WR’s going up against our 5′8″ CBs & feel like a bully that picked a fight with the wrong kid. Wish I felt different.

Our defense is gonna be scary good in 2011.no 5′8″ corners on that roster. just athletes who can cover and with our nose guard position being upgraded, our linebackers are going to wreak havoc and that will make our secondary better.Insider you are a big idiot loser and so are the rest of you negative nellies.QB is best returning QB in SEC even though he didn’t get any help last year.I focus on stats too much sometimes. Georgia 10-2 SEC east champs

Nice try, acting like me, 1:30 post above, what a dork.
As anyone knows, anyone claiming Murray as the best QB on the team, much less the conference, certainly isn’t me or any UGA fan.
And no the defense will not be great either. Terrible on 3rd down, and bad ion the red zone, and against the run. Loaded with inexperience on front 7,

I’m not that worried about Murray. He’ll be fine if the line blocks and the backs run. But should he falter, I don’t think Richt will be as patient as last year given this is a make or break season for the coaching staff!

I can’t fit all the needed replies to some of these posts. But I will try. Facts:
>Folks saying Mason is better than Murray scare me for their own safety. Dumbest posts yet. Ask every other coach or analyst, people that eat sleep and breath football which they’d rather have as their starting QB. It aint even close. And this is no knock at all on Mason.
>O Line is thin, and is a concern, and hasn’t been a strength since 07. We’ve definitely missed on some recruits there, but hope the new S&C program will help us improve there.
>Comparing Sanders Commings to Bryan Evans is the 2nd dumbest statement on this blog. He blew the play against LSU but other than that has been extremely solid. He’s big, physical, and can make a play on the ball in the air. Just watch and see what he does in 11.
>”Rising Freshman” dude. Please do a little research before posting again. I’m telling you this as friend. Being a Rising or Red-shirt freshman has nothing to do with enrolling early.

Why are we talking about spring stats……Do we know what numbers are against the 1st Defense or the 3rd string defense. I’m sure the coaches having a better idea who’s playing better throughout the entire spring. Not that I’m a big Murray fan, but if Mett would have been the Qb, he probably would have been sacked 10 times a game ( remember the soft O-line and no run game ). Defenses would have blitzed Mett every play because he cant move and we couldnt run. Murray was the only choice. He probably saved us 1000 negative yards with his scrambling alone.

And fake big jake is way closer to truth than real big jake. Murray had the best freshman year of any UGA QB ever maybe, and that was with NO defense and NO running game and NO AJ for the first 4 games. I know the Wins weren’t there last year, but you’re looking in the wrong spot if you blame Murray for that.
And if you can’t tell that the D has upgraded big time over last year you got issues.

I had heard alot of good things about Michael Bennett so I’m not suprized at him moving up the chart.
Boy, both lines are hugh and the DE’s are both over 300lbs. I don’t think we’ve ever had lines that big and big John is not on campus yet. I hope the secondary can come together as well because I just don’t see alot of rushing yards against all that beef and speed on our defense. I feel real good about this defense. Go dawgs!!!

Branden Smith has not gained a single pound since he stepped on campus. How does he think that he can compete on the defensive side of the ball playing at 176lbs. Even with the new S&C program he is still the same size. No wonder he has been a flop as a CB. He was supposed to be our answer to Fla. St.’s Greg Reid, but he has been a major bust. Very disappointed with the way that he has been developed.

I could be mistaken but I did not think that Murray was given the freedom of calling an audible until late last year if at all. I think that is why we had a fair amount of delay of game penalties.
