Another UGA tailback out; Carlton Thomas suspended at least one game

Why can’t he serve the suspension for the Coastal Carolina game? The Boise State game is too important not to have an experienced back in the game.

Thanks for the quick reporting, Chip!

Or a ongoing NCAA investigation. @ securtiy dawg I feel your pain but you have only two choices really, find another team or get behind this one. The QB and D should be better, and can the OL be much worse? RB is a concern but we will have to deal with it I think Samuel coming back to RB was the first step.

OH NO! Without Carlton Thomas, who will fumble the ball on the goal line? We are really going to miss that 1-yard per carry production.

Honestly, this is a good thing. The only reason Carlton Thomas has had as many carries as he has is because the coaches reward his hard work. But come on, this is not a good time to put player fairness ahead of rebuilding this running game. The fact is, Carlton Thomas is the least effective back to play for Georgia in a long time, and every down he plays is a lost opportunity to the inexperienced backs who need to get through the learning curve.

The best part about this suspension is that it prevents the coaches from making several bad play calls under the guise of “experience.” With Thomas out of the way, Ken Malcome and Isaiah Crowell will get three to five more carries apiece.

And we aren’t without any experience in the back field now that Richard Samuel is moving back to tailback. It’s not ideal, and he was never that great of a back, but he was never the human waste-of-downs that Carlton Thomas has been.

Given the losses of Ealey and King, we are lucky that Carlton Thomas is not an option for the next back in line. The running game is going to go through some growing pains, but at least the number of carries per inexperienced back will not be diluted by Carlton Thomas. I say, suspend him for two game at least–Make an example of him for violating team rules.

McClendon’s not doing his job. He should be mentoring these players, beyond just coaching them. Many of these players are at risk as students and future citizens and need a strong hand to guide them. It’s too easy to say the players simply have to follow the rules and everything’s going to be fine. There is mutual responsibility here.

We all are licking our chops to get to the Dawg Bones. Putting Crowell in a starting position this early is just a pathetic showing of how desperate Marky Mark and his missionaries are. That kid is not ready to play at the SEC level. If he would have played at AAAA or AAAAA he would have been just an average player and it showed when he go into the playoffs.

Depth at UGA is an all time low. UGA fans went from talking about beating Boise, USC, MSU, Fl, Auburn to finding enough men in the “missing man” formation Richt used to get young Crowell to commit. At least Marky Mark knew he would be missing his tailbacks when he used that violation to get Crowell.

Tiger in Valley…. If Crowell is so average, why do you guys try to sign him? Please. Rivals had him #1 rated RB. I guess you know more than them.

No one is saying he is not good, but everyone else recruiting him did not put a “missing man” formation for him to get promised a starting job. In fact most schools know he is probably a 3 year player and will use him right away but not as a key player or starter. We, like most other schools would spot play him, and keep the pressure off of him.

Unbelievable!!!!!

I guess that whole “this is a new era and the new UGA atmosphere wasn’t really anything but the usual summer spiin BS. ”

Not to worry though the AJC homers will now get to upgrade the RB outlook to “OUTSTANDING” and Athlons can move the UGA RBs up to #1 in the SEC.

I was only joking earlier about the 150 lb fraternity house running backs which UGA was using during the spring game would not make it against SEC defenses, but that is all that is left?

The UGA offense is going to be worse than even I expected. The UCF debacle looks like a best case scenario at this point.

Beef- You gotta be kidding. Lattimore was a workhorse in HS (over 300 carries a year) and IC averaged about 200. Lattimore was built for the pounding when he arrived and IC is a smaller player. If IC is as good as Lattimore, then the sky is the limit for UGA! But I doubt he is, plus UGA is acknowledged to be weak at OL. SEC was loaded with talented Freshmen RB’s last year ( 3 great backs- SC, Auburn, and Ark) and lightning is not likely to strike twice. Lattimore is a top 3 pick for Heisman! You think IC is that good?

We are sitting here laughing about these bold predictions about UGA winning the East, with your annual losses to UF, and the beating USC and Boise give you early on it is going to an half empty or for you half full stadium by the time MSU marches into Athens.

The comparison was not about AJ to one player, it was about the 7 players on offense who are no longer on the team and providing or were planned on providing major playing time this fall.

The Truth hurts and now the Bulldawg nation is one arrest away from Chaos. Better call agent 99.

GA Gator. He ran the ball for 94 yards and had a TD. Plus he had a 87 yard touchdown rull called back for a holding penalty. I saw the game he wasn’t shut down as you say. His team fell behind early due to bad play by the QB (think he fumbled 2 or 3 times and threw a INT). You just as well as I do know when you get behind by a TD or more you have to threw the ball a little more than you want.

If you add the yards that were called back due to penalties he rushes for close to 215 yards and 2 TD’s. He can’t help that his line was called for holding calls or not enough men on the line etc.

“Crowell is going to top Lattimore’s year, mark it.”

Good lord, just hope this delusion doesn’t lead to fans screaming at Crowell come October when he doesn’t live up to these delusions.

That Lattimore kid is a once in a decade type kid, he apparently arrived at SC as one of the top 5 strongest players on the team. Looking at his history he had started and played at Byrnes High in SC since the 9th grade. Byrnes is a national school who played and beat schools nationwide from Glades in FL, to Evangel Christian, to schools from Ohio to California while Lattimore was in school. In addition they play in the top division of SC football which has produced more D1 prospects that any outside of FL. Gaffney, Spartanburg, Dorman, Summerville(AJ Green played here) and others are just some of the schools which comprise Byrnes opponents.

It is unfair to compare the Crowell kid to Lattimore.

Haven’t seen anyone mention the obvious advantage of Samuel coming over from LB. After playing LB for a year he knows exactly what linebackers do and can read blitzes, which makes him way more valuable in protection, plus the guy is one of the strongest and fastest on the team. Kid will get better with every rep and has the body to take a beating. I hope I.C is the real deal too, but everyone calling for him to cary the load from day 1 need to wake up.

If UGA has problems on the perimeter finding Murray a consistent WR to get the ball to then the lack of a strong running game will be very evident. This is the year where having AJ back would have been a godsend.

No downfield passing threat, means the box will be crowded and then it puts that much more pressure on a already suspect OL. The key is getting our passing game off to a fast start. This will be the year UGA must Pass the ball to set up the Run.

What would solve this problem is if uga just went to a run and shoot like Hawaii and Texas Tech used to. Just throw it 50 times a game and let your qb roll up the heisman type yards. Then you won’t need rbs.

If things are as bad as some of these anti-UGA posters say, why over a 10 year period, is Florida the only team with a winning record against Richt.

Based on Richt’s 10 year track record, and average of almost 10 wins a year, the 6 win season in 2010 was an anomaly. He is much more likely, statistically, to return to the 10 win season, than to have another clunker.

And to the USC poster, asking if a Georgia fan would bet the house UGA would beat Boise and SC, I would ask would you be willing to put your house on the market betting SC beats UGA? Would be a stupid bet either way for a rational person.

According to my numbers UGA currently has about 75 players on scholarship. At the current rate of attrition and injury I figure UGA is going to have about 65 players available to play in the season opener. Does any sane Dawg fan think we can manage this schedule with 60 of 65 scholarship players? College football in a numbers game and our numbers are the worst in the league! All Dawgs fans need to realize this and come join the rest of us on planet earth.

Let’s see…….It’s mid summer, the violation took place in the spring. Did we just find this out? Was Crowell really as out of shape as was made out to be? For those looking for a bright spot, look real hard, I’m sure one’s there, maybe two, or possibly more. I think Boo could be a solid back, Samuel should be a beast too, if the Oline can provide any run blocking at all. The defense looks good on paper, let’s hope they’re not paper dolls. Special teams, none better.

Folks, we have the personnel !! Question is, do we have the Leadership???? There’s no place to hide CMR. UGA Insider, I think you’re wrong about McGarity.

This is so embarrassing! When did we start having so many rule breakers and law breakers on our teams? I don’t remember this so much with Coach Dooley except for the Jan Kemp incident. Coach Goff was so dull I can’t remember much about him at all. Coach Donnan could always run a good ponzi. Now, we have Coach Richt and he is beginning to be good for a bunch of laughs. A bunch of laughs. Embarrassing laughs.

Do I need to remind you of the barbeque Russ? Different times, different problems. I just want a Head Coach that handles the day to day business and runs an effective organization, top to bottom. I think for $3 Million, we deserve one, and will have one, one way or the other. McGarity will see to that “I believe”.

Your argument is absolutely false there Valley. Barking has been a tradition for a minimum of 23 years. As long as i can remember we have been barking at games. I was born and bread to bark all game long.

And as for the barking at a hurt player. That absolutely did not happen. Please post the video and send us a link. We arent scum bags, not even auburn would do that and you bought a player for a shot at the NC. (Reggie Brown Knockout a few years back at Auburn)

You better stare hard at that trophy bc its going away soon!

You just have to love UGA fans. They for the most part, have drank the CMR juice, have this false understanding of where they actually exist in the pecking order of the SEC and BCS, have this forgetfullnes of when they actualy won their last title, count 4 years ago as a great year when they did not even play in the BCS championship game or SEC CG but think they were in the hunt for the national title with losses to USC, and Tenn., won the Fulmer cup last year, had a player accept payment for his jersey and get suspended for 4 games, lose a quarterback for unwanted touching, Richt fires almost his entire defensive staff, goes through 3 offers to DC’s before hiring a pretty good coach who gives the choke sign to a kicker, loses players to driving offenses, academics, and players leaving because the new(old) strenght and conditioning coach and he cannot get along, and now a player with unknown team issues is suspended for one game.

The 2011 schedule for UGA is the easiest it has been in years and yet UGA will trod along, lose the first two games, and the UGA fan base will be calling for Richt, Bobo’s head just like they did after the Colorado, MSU, UCF’s games last year.

Well say that then, instead of being ‘ Born and Bred to bark’..that was just stupid.

Now onto my Auburn Tigers.

I am not stupid, I have read the articles, know an investigation is going on. If we did anything wrong then I will be the first in line to say the title goes back, the championship is removed from the record books. I want to see these 4 players go to jail for robbing fellow Auburn Students and I believe in getting one chance to do it right then you are done. The players at every school are ambassadors for our schools and if they embarrass our schools they need to be dealt with publicly just as they publicly did it to the school.

I do not agree with the way things are done at Auburn and never will as long as Bobby Lowder or his cronies are running things. As a graduate from many many years ago, I have seen the problems that take place when a core group of alumni treat the program as a semi pro team and they are the owners, general managers of it. It is not good for any school when that happens.

I will take the punishment if it is ever handed out, but as of today it is all rumors we live with daily and that is all it is.

It is just a break today from all the Auburn bashing when UGA or the Updykes get into issues that affect their program.

I mean no ill will toward anyone, it was all in fun.

However the barking at injured players did occur at The Outback bowl and I was at the Sugar Bowl for UGA’s title and there was no barking back then.

I was embarrassed when our folks turned the Hoses on UGA fans a few years back and that was unacceptable as well.

So, let me see if I have this right. CMR doesn’t control his team. No wait, make that CMR is a bad coach because he suspends players for not doing what is required of them. Where in any rule book does it say, that the football coach will babysit these players and make them attend class, have a valid drivers license or any of the other things some of the players did? Don’t give me that crap that it is the players UGA recruits when most of the other schools tried to recruit them as well and lost out to UGA. I know some other schools hide their players misdeeds a little better, but CMR doesn’t. I guess in some peoples minds, this makes him a lousy coach. Maybe some of you would prefer we go the route of Miami, or even end up a year later on the NCAA radar, like the Lily of the Valley’s school does. Yes, UGA wound up winning the mythical Fulmer cup with a total of 21 points last year. Already this year, Auburn has 81 and Florida has 15, and FSU has 8 and a few other schools will soon pass what UGA had for the whole year. Does this make these leaders or their schools coaches bad and inadquate people? UGA is making sure that these players follow the rules and CMR should be commended for that, not put down. Every school has discipline problems, it is just how well they chose to punish them. CMR is sending a clear message out to the players, to either conform to the rules or ride the pine for however long is neccesary. Blame him if you wish, but I respect him a lot more for doing that, than say a coach of another team, that let’s a guy get into trouble 5 different times with civil as well as team violations and he still chooses him over someone else, because his wins are more valuable than team integrity. If enough players ride the pine, it will sink in and UGA will be a better team for it.

Good statistics DawginLex. It’s good to prove and show our most recent history to Dawg fans and to give them the true history of our school. We are and have never been on the level of a UF,LSU, Bama and to some degree UK and Auburn. UGA has always been competitive and every once in a while had a special season or two. But in the large scheme of things UGA has always been just a slightly above average program in the 3 men’s major sports for countless decades. We are no major player like an Alabama. It’s just in the past 10 years we have won a few SEC titles and our new alumni base expects us to win every year. It’s just not a goal or our AD or Adams. They are fine with mediocrity so all UGA fans should be as well. Our new alumni need to check our records prior to 1980 as well. We stunk most of the time in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s.

Mobile Dawg.

Thanks.. i hope anyone who enters our stadium is treated fairly and the hospitatilty is exchanged annually.

Let me say this, I want these kids to all graduate first, do well on the field second, but without their degrees any kid who plays 4 or 5 years and leaves school without a degree is a burden on our society. They all need to enter school,earn a degree and leave a better person than when they arrived. A degree will do much more for them than scoring 10 touchdowns 25 years from now.

As for The Newtons, yeah Cam was a special player, who had a ton of baggage, and Cecil is just one of those Ministers who anyone meets and knows right away something is not quite right. You cannot put your finger on it but you just sense it. I know as an Auburn fan that players or players parents do not ask for money from one school and not ask for it at other schools. Anyone who thinks that needs help and is too close to your program to see the entire picture.. Our history alone says we have done this same thing in the past, why not now? I guess we will have to wait and see.

One question making the rounds down here;

Has anyone else heard your big DT Jenkins was interviewed by the NCAA for his recruitment to Auburn? That is the latest and greatest rumor down here. Someone says that we offered him money to attend Auburn and he reported it to the NCAA. Just asking.

I continue to be bullish about the defense this year. If they do as good a job at stopping teams and creating turnovers as I think they can, the offense will not have to outscore everyone this year. That should give our offense a short field to work with on a consistent basis and this offense, even with the shortage of backs, should be able to score a couple of touchdowns and our special teams can do the rest. It aint over, I still think the SEC East is ours to take.

Here’s some Lattimore/Crowell comparisons that should open some eyes:

Lattimore is 6′1″ 220 lbs, a 4-down back, more of a downhill runner with about 4.5 speed.
Crowell is 6′0″ 210 lbs, a 3-down back, ellusive sideline to sideline runner with about 4.35 speed.
Both of them bench and squat nearly the exact same weight (about 300/450 respectively).

Lattimore had 442 MORE carries than Crowell in 3 years (missing 2 games from injury), but only 1,400 more yards. A 7.1/YPC average.
Crowell had only 407 total carries, but an 11.5/YPC average in 3 years (missing 4 games from injury).

Lattimore had 1160 receiving yards and 9 TD’s on 99 receptions, an 11.7/YPR average.
Crowell had 1320 receiving yards and 11 TD’s on 96 receptions, a 13.75/YPR average.

Lattimore had 95 total TD’s in 3 years (including receptions) on 948 touches, an average of 1 TD every 10 touches.
Crowell had 69 total TD’s in 3 years on 503 touches, an average of 1 TD every 7.2 touches.

I don’t care what you think, Crowell will be played as a 3-down back, which will save him on durability, and could be just as, or even more productive than Lattimore.

Bob, all I was doing is replying to someone who said that Crowell doesn’t come close to comparing to Lattimore in high school. But fact is, he most certainly does.

2-AAA in GA is not that far from 4-AAAA in SC. And there is a huge difference between 7.1/YPC vs. 11.5/YPC.

These kids simply play different styles of football. Crowell will surely get less snaps, but that’s fine. Samuel, Thomas, and Malcolm will play their roles in short yardage and change-of-pace. In the end, it’s very possible that Crowell does for UGA what Lattimore did for SC, but just differently.

I hope I’m wrong but I’m thinking 8 wins is the most this team will do and that might be pushing it.I’ll still be a bulldog supporter, but this is getting soooooooo old. We make an excuse for this kid and thiers another one next week.

Richt needs to start recruiting higher character players. He needs to call Coach Saban on how to win big with players who don’t get in trouble.

This is what happens when you try to change the culture of the program at the eleventh hour. It is too late. The chickens are still coming home to roost.

I certainly am getting tired of all these suspensions. As a young man your going to a top university, getting a scholarship to play ball and you can’t behave even a little bit? Suspensions are not enough to get the point across. Let some of these kids go, make it across the board that bad behavior just will not be tolerated, not at Georgia, not at any University. Time to send the little pansies and slackers back to momma until they can learn to behave themselves. I want Georgia to win just like every other fan of the Dawgs, but not at the cost of the integrity of our University.

While I’m flattered that someone would want to steal my handle, I do point out that the comment at 3:36 on the 18th of July under my handle is not by me, but an impostor.

Well, I guess that Bobo won’t be able to send the midget up the middle into the mouth of the defensive line every second and ten. What will he do now? Oh yeah. Now he’ll just pass every down…

You can’t make this stuff up. All for just three million a year.

Richt is the issue here. He’s gotta go and the sooner the better…

Ealey, King, and now Thomas. Another nail in the coffin of CMR who is in his last season in Athens. A 7-5 season will not save his job. Boise, S. Carolina, Florida, Missy St., and Auburn. There are your 5 losses, and that does not include the yearly upset which will come from either Kentucky, Tennessee, Vandy, or GT. All that talent wasted again.

Crowell maybe be good I think he is but when Derrick Henry comes to town they all can move over and let the big Dawg eat. My God what a player

A few good runs by Crowell and those three will be forgotten or A bad running effort the first game and everyone will be screaming for Richt’s head for not planning the situation better. Same senerio as the season record. A good start and they could go 10-2 or a bad 0-2 start and struggle to be a .500 team. Anyone out their going to watch the Boise ST. game Hmmmmm ?

Red and Black, and I seriously don’t care what you think. Just FYI, “kool aid”, and “rose colored glasses” aren’t childish at all. They are words, phrases, that are used by professionals educated in the art of counseling people “exactly” like you. People that are confused by reality and choose to live in a fantasy world, thus their blurred vision, denial of factual accuracy, and reality, are described as “drinking kool aid” or viewing the world through “rose colored glasses”. If you are offended or aggravated by my observations and comments that CMR hasn’t come close to “earning” the $3 million a year he’s being paid over the last few years that’s your problem.

Seriously, all the facts have been laid out for you, either you drink the kool aid, or wear the rose colored glasses, and ignore the facts, or, you’re just plain ignorant. Either way, I’m through responding to you.

Talking about maturity, or lack of, maybe you should go back and read your posts. I didn’t start this little feud with you, I believe you called me out, called me a fair weather fan, etc. I have simply expressed my opinion on the issues within our program. There are many positives, but there have also been many concerns. Mostly with coaching, lack of discipline, and numerous others.

Most times I’m highly respectful of people like you, and your opinions. Your last post is condesending, disrespectful, and you are brow beating me like I’m a red headed step child. Is that maturity. Basically I either talk facts, or my opinion, and for the most part they are “right on the money”.

And if you think that to be a “true fan” you can’t differentiate between the program, and the coach, that both have to be supported as one, well, let me ask you, what kind of person does that make you? Your problem appears to be that you can’t stand to be disagreed with, you have to be right, just my opinion.

And to go on the record again, I hope CMR succeeds, but if the problems that have reared their heads over the last 5 years continue, then he needs to go. Unfortunately for him, the qualifications for his position have changed since he hired on, other coaches and programs have raised the bar significantly, and if you think he has succeeded in meeting those challenges, then you are apparently happy to accept the program in it’s current state.

If you read my post on the “ignorant” statement, I didn’t call you ignorant. I left the door open for you to decide. And again, why do you deny the professional use of those phrases? Have a good day Red and Black. I haven’t once heard CMR take responsibility for the state of affairs in Athens. If you think for a second that CMR just encountered a storm, will you at least admit that he’s responsible for allowing the conditions to develop that led to the storm. In life you have a lot of different kind of people, some people need to be pushed a little to ensure they do the right thing. People like me who are applying the pressure to Mark Richt are necessary for accountability. Last but not least, you’re calling out the wrong guy, I’ve “NEVER” uttered the words, or written them that he should have been “fired”. If you can prove me wrong, do it.

Carlton is I think only officially suspended for the Boise State game right now. If he comes back in week two, we are still the same. 4 scholarship RB’s right now on the roster with the first game, having only three available.
