Georgia football releases preseason depth chart

Go Dawgs!

offensive line is a concern because of the injury to Sturd. and Harmon leaving UGA, however, this has got to be the largest starting lineup we have ever had on the offensive line. It has to be heavier than the average starting OL in the NFL.

The twp little guys are over 310. The two big guys are over 330 with one in between. Hope we can stay relatively health from here and we need some of the guys that have had some chronic health problems that are slated as backups to make it thru the year. We will also need a true freshman to come in and at least be a serviceable backup.

I like the idea someone else had of asking Arthur Lynch to play some left tackle from his TE spot. Would be nice to be able to rotate him in for 1 or 2 series a game especially during the first 3 weeks of the season when it is so hot.

Chip,

I’m a little surprised Richt again grants the starting position to a QB with the lesser td’s.

Last year, Mettewnberger toasted Murray over all Spring games, and Richt named Murray #1 on the QB depth chart, then Mettenberger exited the team right after learning that.

This year, Mason throws more td’s thyan Murray over 3 Spring games, and Murray is named #1 on the depth chart again.

it appears Murray will be named #1 on the dpeth chart, regardless of how Murray does over 3 Spring games.

Which I find odd.

Hope Mason doesn’t transfer.

Doesn’t seem fair.

i know Richt likes Murray because he carrie shis Bible around campus and stuff, but geez, you have to beat the other guy to earn your position, not just stay out of trouble and go to Bible studies right? Does Richt think this is the FCA? Why is Robinson #1 on the depth chart, #2 blew his doors off over Spring games. I hear Robinson is a big bible guy too, geez, can we reward some guys for what they do on the football field, with a football?

James, let me catch you up….Mettenberger was kicked off the team after he sexually assaulted a girl in a bar while on spring break. He didn’t leave the program he was booted because of his behavior. Not the kind of guy you want leading the team especially since he lied to Richt’s face about what happened.

Alot more goes into the depth chart than who had better stats in a spring game.

James,

I agree. Mettenberger was named #2 on the depth chart, Richt said Murray EARNED the #1 position, like Murray didn’t win the #1 spot from Mettenberger by default? I agree totally.

Hutson looked great on G-Day, really beat murray in all 3 games. 5 td’s to Murray’s 4. Great Spring. Hutson will be great on his new team this fall, wonder where he’ll transfer to?

I didn’t go to tech or anything but it looks like we have 12 wideouts for 2 or 3 positions per play and uhh 11 players for 5 Oline positions per play. I know we have recently lost 2 but if one or two of those on the two deep Oline are walk-ons, some body is effing up.

It seems to me like Richt recruits like they did at FSU BEFORE the reduction in scholarships. Instead of reducing each position evenly, he just carries fewer Olineman. Well that is messed up. No wonder our seasons continually hinge on one or two o-line injuries!

If we had 2 less wideouts, we would hardly notice (I mean it is not like we EVER run the no huddle anymore). But if we had 2 more O-lineman…losing 2 wouldn’t be such a big deal.

Can anyone remember when O-line was a strength under Richt? Unlucky that Sturdivant didn’t play through like Jean-Gilles…but it really seems like we have been weak there for a very long time.

I guess the thinking is “we may have to play a TE on the o-line but as long as we have 10 fresh WR’s we are good.” Only thing is we haven’t been good in a long time either!

Chip, The starting OL looks pretty good, if they can stay healthy and motivated without meaningful competition from reserves. And the thing is, Benedict and Austin Long have significant injuries, and Lee suffers from asthma. Walkons and Kolton Houston are your only healthy reserves. Couple this with an offensive line class coming in that, because of youth and other reasons, are not ready for SEC competition, and you’re on the brink baby!!

Alright, james and cuz. Since you like your stats so much, try these on for size. Aaron Murray as a true freshman last year, tied the all-time Georgia record held by DJ Shockley for TD responsibility in a season with 28. In case you didn’t understand, that’s not a freshman record, that’s an all-time Georgia record. Meaning (other than DJ), no Dawg has ever scored that many TDs in one season….ever. In painstakingly simpler English, Matthew Stafford never had that many TDs in a season. And since your new to football, or more likely I suspect, a Tech fan…he went #1 overall in the draft….no but seriously, we should definitely listen to you two Cretins with your spring stats.

Interesting list, Chip, thanks. A lot of repositioning will go on, but glad to see there is depth at all at some spots. Our backup Center better beef up from 255lbs if he wants to compete. A walk-on at this point is still a serviceable body and sometimes can still surprise. As far as depth, I would love to see Art Lynch get in on some action this year. He is alot like Kevin Boss, IMO. Concerning Troupe, it could be that he played “bigger” in high school and just wasn’t all that the scouts thought he could be on the college stage, or maybe Israel had an injury down the line that slowed him permanently. Like you said Chip, at least he is in there.

Ga having a good defense? They believe defense is something you do until the QB, Receiver and RB can get out there. When is the last time the defense stopped anybody? No way are they going to take you head on. They are going to do the ” O Lay” tackle and try to drag them down. It hurts if you take a RB head on. I guess ” good defense ” is relative when Ga is in the conversation.
No way in Hell CMR goes over and tries to help the defense. He has a rule against it.

Thank you Chip for you comments back to idiots like JMar and MaconBulldog who posted earlier. It is amazing and sad that so called fans like these guys, who never played a lick of college football can hid behind their keyboards and pass judgement on people they have never even met. Maybe if they went out and busted their humps year-round and took the beating college football players take they would fee diferently.

And since everyone can’t be a superstar, it is a good thing we have back-ups who are willing to contribute to the good of the team. Would be pretty tough to practice with only 24 or so players.

Whoa,

Alabama lost 3 games last year primarily due to the fact that their offensive line did not control the line of scrimmage. The offense was all about controlling the line of scrimmage and in those games they failed to do that. When they did, their QB was really successful. They were good on offense as long as they could control the line, and operate with their QB having time to throw the pass to his WR’s when they cleared the coverage. If not the pass, they could depend on the RB, but he can’t run through the middle if there is no place to go. Numbers is not the question for UGA’s line this year. It is the low experience level and the threat of injuries. They do not lack size, the lack time on the battlefield. Our new offensive line coach will have to increase the learning curve and hope injuries are at a minimum.

Chip, you’re full of it when you say Richt had a good line in ‘03. The ‘02 Sugar Bowl team lost 7 players off that line, and Greene hurt his knee and spent most of ‘03 as a statue because the line couldn’t protect him. Greene finished with 13 TD and 11 INT, while the team rushed for 3.5 YPC and less than 2000 yards total.

As for Israel Troupe, Georgia had 3 skill position players in Rivals’ top 75 or so for that year, and they basically struck out on all three – Logan Gray (12 pass attempts, I think), Caleb King, and Israel Troupe (11 career receptions). Congratulations to him for getting his degree and having stories to tell his kids one day, but he’s a collosal disappointment and those three guys are basically the poster-children for why Georgia has gone from the nation’s elite to the SEC’s whipping boy.

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).

You guys quoting Murray’s overall stats are clueless. It’s what you do against the good teams that matter. Murray’s had 6 shots to beat a winning team, lost to every one of them. Murray’s also played 6 games against ranked teams, averages less than 1 td a game. Out of Murray’s 24 td’s, you guys do realize only 5, 5 td’s, came against ranked teams?? Nothign special about that, I’d agree, Mason, Lemay, anyone, really gives you a better shot to compete against the better teams. Lemay 7 Mason seemed clutch in the 4th quarter on G-Day. I’d love to see them both get the shot they earned.

Chip,
Why does O-line continue to be an issue at UGA? No other school in the SEC has the rash of injuries, dismissals, and AWOLs on the Oline like UGA does. This goes back to Callaway when he was here, and it continued with Searels (who was heralded as the best O line coach in the country). Is there an inherent flaw in the type of OL that UGA is recruiting? Could it be due to the style of offense, that seems to be more finesse, east-west type plays, than a north-south, aggressive run-oriented attack? I’ve grown tired of the soft, undisciplined, unmotivated, unidentifiable brand of football at UGA. Will we see a noticeable change this year? Right now, the O-line that UGA is going to trot out there, leads me to believe this year is going to be another grease-fire! This is the same O line (minus their best 2 in Sturdivant and Boling) that couldn’t push their way through a paper bag! Can Friend make that much of a difference?

A scrambling quarterback will offset many offensive line deficiencies. QB movement and our run blocking will sustain us throughout the year.

Without a juggernaut offense, which we don’t have, the defense has to rise up and make stops all over the field. Without an improvement on defense we lose anyway.

I think the rushing game getting 90 yards less was due to Aaron Murray not audibling correctly, as it was the same offensive line, and the same running backs as Joe Cox had, there’s no other place to point to.

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.

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.

Everybody loves the backup QB until they actually get into the game and throw 3 picks.

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.

LOL Chip, so Burt, big Jake or just loser will suffice I would say. If he had a girlfriend she would no doubt be confused as well, but that is obviously not a consideration.
Hey Burt, Big Jake or whatever other name you will use, how did your QB career work out for you. If you are such an expert, surely you must be Peyton Manning I would think.

Hey Chip,

Is Dawgin Lex/It Ain’t Rocket Science/ Hit a Single/ the same guy?

Sure seems like it.

If you don’t answer this post, I’ll take that as a “Yes’.

I like the way they have the chart at cornerback. CB 1 the taller Cummings and Love. CB 2 the shorter but speedy Boykin and Smith. Also, either Bokin and Smith can return punts and play a little on offense so they can give each other a rest.

hey james you’re right. Murray didn’t earn a thing by being just 1 TD pass short of a school record in just his freshman season. Not to mention the former qb’s those stats were compared to. 2nd winningest qb in NCAA history, or the 1st overall NFL draft pick, pick whichever one helps you defend yourself more.

Aaron Murray is terrific against certain teams–Vanderbilt, Lousiana Lafayette, Tenn, Kent, loses too muhc against tougher teams like Auburn, Florida, Carolina, . Kid can’t win a meaningful game. Feel sorry for Richt, no way Richt wins more than 5 games this season. murray only scored 5 meaningful td’s in 2010, the ones against Auburn & Florida. The rest of his td’s were against horrible, horrible teams, and completely meaningless to anyone except his brother, who keeps posting here undewr a bunch of fake names like Ben, Dawgin Lex, and so on.

Bobo got the system figured out.

Snow everybody.

Blow up the stats by cranking out 40 points a game against teams like LA Lafayette.

Even thought you only asverrage under 16 a game againsdt winning teams, hey, who cares, Richt said Bobo had a great record setting year.

Huh? 16 points a game? almost last in the SEC in scoring against winning teams?

Record setting?

PULEEZE.

Agree with you DAWG 1962. The D is the strong point this year to start out. If we can just control the game a little with those men, the Offense can take the time to meld together and after about 5 or 6 games, should operate pretty good as a unit. Concerned about depth on the O line, but I think they have the guys to step up and do it, if our O line coach works them hard.

DAWG4EVER,

You really think that a 5′9″, cb is going to be an impact player at his position. Yes, he is fast, but when he is playing against a 6′4″ WR that can also jump, and stretch, how will he defend him. He can be right on top of him due to his speed, but he will not stop the ball thrown to that WR’s outstretched arms. He might have made a great punt returner, kickoff man, but I do not see him as a impact player at DB. DB is not a great concern for a recruiting target since we have 4 coming in with this new class. If I were the UGA coaching staff, I would be using my remaining 12 or 13 picks for 2012, on some of the big ole O line kids out there. College coaches can’t afford the luxury of getting a kid, just because the kid is an athlete. That is what Pro. teams do.

The question is, since you win the SEC with scoring on offense:

Why did Georgia rank pretty much next to last in the confer against winning teams?

There are only 4 real answer:
1- receivers: AJ Green & Durham now play in NFL, Charles is amazing
2- offensive line: averaged #5 in NCAA in last 5 games under Coxz, only 9 sacks under Cox
3- backs: both had good av carry at around 5.5, Ealey scored 111 td’s
4- QB? Did good against some teams like Lafayette, did pathetic against better defenses like SC, Florida, MSU, UCF

In the G Day game, Boo ran hard and scored. To me, he looks like your typical U of Alabama runner. He is brawny and solid and lowers his shoulder. He likes to drag tacklers or he CAN drag tacklers. They go backward when he hits them. He will grow as a solid UGA back. He will help UGA in tough games earning tough yardage.

I like him a bunch!!

Go Dogs.

SC’s offense averaged 32 points per game against winning teams (#2 in confer in 2010), UGA averaged 18 a game (#10 in confer in 2010).

SC will win the Natl Championship, they’re loaded on offense. And they puit a lot of points up on the better defenses.

It is amazing to me that a RS freshman at QB, finished with the stats. he did last year. There will always be some person on these blogs that thinks he should have been an All American last year with the support he got from the rest of the offense. It will always be for some fans, a reason to gripe about and it will never stop. If he is all SEC at his position this year, some will still find something to criticize about him, unless he gets the MNC and then these people would say, it was only because of this running back or that WR or whatever they can figure out to say, so they do not need to give the young man his due. It is funny though, that if he does good this year, it will not be to his credit because he had so much help on the offense, but when he struggles because of the lack of help from his offensive team mates, it is all his fault. Yes, he does touch the football more than any other player in the backfield, but he did not fumble last year and cause UGA 2 games because of those fumbles. He did not get suspended for four games for knowingly, violating NCAA rules, thus leaving the offense without a key man to throw to. He did not fail to block the D, thus causing him to be rushed in his throws and not have the time to set up. I mean, he was even responsible for the injuries on the O line. All he did, was try too hard to make the offense click when it was obvious, that all of the parts to make it click, were not there or in some cases, giving the effort that was needed. Yup, that Murray is some piece of work. He will never amount to anything.
Give the kid the tools that SC Alabama, Auburn, and LSU had last year and he would have been just fine. It is sort of like coming out after training at a job, and you are just turned loose. Nobody to help you out when you encounter a problem, but no worries. You can do it all by yourself, that is why they hired you. On the job training is a myth. You after all, did get to practice for 21 days with your own team mates, so what more do you need. Learning curve? You don’t need time to learn a complicated job, you should just absorb it and that will make up for your lack of experience and support. Piece of cake.

I repeat, 32 points SC scored agaiunst winning teams average, to UGA’s 18. That’s the difference between Garcia 7 Murray, Garcia’s about 2x better at scoring against winning teams. The Bama game, going up against a great defense, was Garcia’s finest hour. To beat Florida/Meyer, Bama/Saban in the same season, unreal for Garcia. He’s in a class leagues above Murray, who has yet to beat any winning team.

“Give the kid the tools that SC Alabama, Auburn, and LSU had last year and he would have been just fine.”
He would have had the same problems at any of these schools. He can’t throw over the middle, so he can’t run the play action very well. You must adapt the offense to his particular skill set if he is the starter. Richt said there were several changes and I hope they address these issues because if SC, Alabama, Auburn and LSU had a talent like Orson Charles and a QB who couldn’t get him the ball then he wouldn’t be QB.

Look, when Carolina averages over 30 points a game, practically leading the conference in scoring against winning teams and Georgia is at the bottom of the conference at under 18 points a game, your offense has a problem. Agreed, Garcia is way above any UGA QB, his game against Alabama was one for the ages, and that was a stellar defense, Garcia was unstoppable. Georgia tries to make itself feel better by quoting how many points it scored, including lousy teams like Vanderbilt. But, no doubt, against teams with a winning record, Murray’s the worst in East, and Garcia’s the best.

John,

Wow, how prophetic. I didn’t realize your crystal ball was so good. Bet you can tell the attendance to the man of all SEC games that will be played this year. Whatever team you support must be calling you up constantly to impart your knowledge and wisdom, and of course, your crystal ball accuracy all the time.

The Murray bashing got me to thinking…who out there would you rather have at QB…I wouldn’t swap for Barkley, nor Garcia, Brantley…nope (I do think Brantely will have a good year w/ Weis), maybe some of the up and coming starters for this year! nah, too risky because I saw Murrary perform behind a suspect (at best) O-line, so why take the chance on unknowns…how about Luck and the kid from Boise, well they’re both good, so maybe, but I wouldn’t touch Terrelle Pryor, nor the running QB’s at Mich or Neb, as they are to one dimensional…from what I saw from RS Murray was a very coach-able QB who over came his HS spread offense tendencies and did what the coaches asked of him even when he knew that he would get killed (most youngsters would have gotten happy feet, thrown the ball into coverage, etc but Murray coaching (and beat-downs) will pay dividends going forward…Mason is also a heck of a talent and takes to coaching extremely well and will be hard to move out of the #2 spot…LeMay, well who knows, he’s not big, he’s not fast, but he looked like a gamer in the spring…how quickly will he be able to pick up the play-book, how will he adjust to the speed of college ball…I suspect that they’ll bring him along slowly and RS him, or Mason this year…how about Met? well I hope that things work out for him and that he’s grown in maturity and life’s decision making…this would have been the year that he could have challenged Murray if he remained with the team. his footwork, reading the defense, and dialing it back instead of going for the long ball would have all been coached out, or into him…all in all, I’m glad we have Murray on the team

If you compare that depth chart with Bama, LSU, Fl, or S.C you will see where the UGA program stands in the SEC. There is no depth at O.L., Wide Receiver, R.B, Safety, Linebacker, basically every position on the team. For Richt&Garner to be in place for 10 years and this is what they have to show for their efforts is pathetic. Garner recruits only the 4 and 5 star players based on rivals, and he has no idea of how to recruit for need each year. He only cares about getting in the top 10 or 15 class rankings, which doesn’t mean anything if you don’t recruit to build depth at certain positions of need. It is sad to say, but Dooley has done a much better job of recrutiing for need than Garner and Richt. Look at the talent he has recruited on his O.L. the past 2 years and look at what UGA has recruited on the O.L. It is a joke, UGA is in serious trouble this year, and next year’s depth chart will be even worse. If you think this O.L is bad, wait until next year. And if you think the Wide Receiver depth is scary, next year will be the worst in the SEC east other than Vandy. Oh, just to show you how pathetic Garner and Richt are at filling needs, compare Dooley’s Wide Receivers recruits to Richt’s, that tells you all you need to know about where this program is, and where it is going under Richt. Answer is nowhere. We will be behind Fl, Tenn, S.C after this year. McGarity wasn’t the answer. Is Perno still here? Tenn. fired it’s baseball coach, but Perno will stay at UGA. LOL!!
