Notebook: Dogs’ defense reshuffling lineup yet again
ATHENS – The Bulldogs found out on Wednesday they would be without two defensive starters for the Florida game on Oct. 29. They also added two more with the returns this week of Alec Ogletree and Cornelius Washington.
For defensive coordinator Todd Grantham and his staff, being able to mix and match the lineup is old hat at this point. Thanks to injuries and suspensions, Georgia has utilized seven different starting lineups in seven games this season.
There’s a 100 percent chance it will be 8-for-8 against Florida in Jacksonville on Oct. 29.
“I’ve always said you rank your players and figure out your best combination for that week,” Grantham said Wednesday. “That’s what we’ve done every week. Guys have been in and out. We really haven’t played a game yet with what started out as our first 11. That’s OK, too, because guys have worked hard and built a lot of mental toughness on our defense and are finding a way to finish.”
Despite losing Ogletree and fellow inside linebacker starter Christian Robinson for multiple games due to injuries in the season’s first two weeks, Georgia made it to the eighth week of the season ranked No. 8 nationally in total defense.
Now they’ll have to adjust yet again as noseguard Kwame Geathers and strong safety Shawn Williams – who have started 10 games between them this season – have been ordered by the SEC to sit out the first half versus the Gators due to unsportsmanlike infractions in the Vanderbilt game.
“I just told them whoever is going to play in their place needs to play hard enough to where when these guys get in during the second half we’re still in contention in the game,” Georgia head coach Mark Richt said. “Somebody’s going to have to step up.”
Grantham and Richt anticipate junior John Jenkins, who has started the last two games and alternates regularly with Geathers, to simply get more snaps at noseguard in the first half. Defensive end DeAngelo Tyson, who played noseguard last season, will slide inside when Jenkins needs a breather in the first half.
As for Williams’ strong safety position, there’s a good chance cornerback Sanders Commings will move there. Commings started at safety when Bacarri Rambo was out for the season opener against Boise State. Branden Smith and/or Damian Swann could fill in at the corner, where they already get a lot of snaps.
Getting Ogletree and Washington back softens the blow.
Starting “Mo” linebacker Ogletree missed the last five games with a broken bone in his right foot. He entered the season with a reputation as potentially Georgia’s most dynamic defensive player. Washington started the first five games at weakside outside linebacker before his Oct. 2 DUI arrest led to a two-game suspension. Robinson, the starting “Mike” linebacker, missed two games and parts of a third with an ankle injury.
Michael Gilliard, Amarlo Herrera, Chase Vasser and Ray Drew all have filled in admirably.
“Guys have stepped up and embraced their roles and some have taken advantage of their opportunities,” Grantham said. “Moving forward we’ll do the same thing, plug guys in and keep moving.”
One option that Grantham took off the table is moving Ogletree back to strong safety.
“I think we’re past that,” he said. “I think he has shown up as an inside linebacker. I think he’s really good there.”
Grantham on SEC decision
Grantham said he wasn’t sure what might happen as the SEC mulled his fate for last Saturday’s postgame confrontation with Vanderbilt head coach James Franklin. But he was clearly happy Wednesday to have it behind him.
“To be honest, I wasn’t sure about anything,” Grantham said. “I’ve pretty much said what I’m going to say and moved forward. We’ve got an opportunity to get better this week. That’s what you use the open week for, to get better. We obviously have a big game next week so we’re preparing for that. I’ve moved on and we’re moving forward.”
Grantham did, however, express regret for his actions and said that his outburst is not a reflection of Georgia’s defense.
“I tell our guys you want to play hard from the snap of the ball to the end of the play,” he said. “After that, get back in the huddle. During that time you play hard, you play fast and you play physical. We’ve done that and had very few penalties on defense all year.”
Richt mum on video comments
A Nashville television station released Wednesday an unedited version of video that captured the postgame exchange between Richt and Vanderbilt coach James Franklin. Richt’s voice is nearly inaudible on the video but, according to an transcription being distributed on the Internet of that conversation, Richt uses an expletive to describe Williams, who is accused by Franklin of “rubbing our faces in it.”
Richt was asked after practice Wednesday whether that transcription was accurate.
“I don’t have a comment on that; I don’t think it’s worthy of a comment,” he said. “But I wasn’t happy after the game. I can say that. I wasn’t happy.”
Asked why he was upset, Richt said: “The thing I was bothered by mostly was, the game’s over, it was a great game, let’s all go shake hands and say good luck. Let’s do that. Can we do that? That’s my goal personally and that’s my goal for our football team and that’s how I want to operate from this point forward. Hopefully that will be the case.”
Stafford takes up for Richt
Former Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford, who is now starring for the Detroit Lions, was asked the “hot seat” question Richt on a teleconference call with reporters on Wednesday. Stafford’s Lions play the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
“I’ve always been a huge Mark Richt fan,” Stafford said. “He’s one of the huge reasons I went to Georgia from Texas. I think he’s great for that program, he’s great for the community, he’s great for the kids in that program. They’ve really started stepping up and playing better these last couple of weeks. They lost to two really good football teams the first two weeks. They are a young team in many spots, still learning the defense and acclimating to some new players they are mixing in. I have total confidence that he will get the job done, for sure.”
Etc. . . .
Georgia cornerback/kick returner Brandon Boykin missed practice while undergoing a dental procedure on Wednesday. Boykin busted his mouth and several lower teeth on a kickoff return against Mississippi State on Oct. 1. . . . Bacarri Rambo also sat out portions of Wednesday’s full-contact workout due to a turf-toe injury. It’s not expected to limit his play against Florida. . . . Wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell was on the field in a green jersey but did not dress out in full pads and did participate in most drills. . . . Tailback Carlton Thomas dressed out but remained in green with an undisclosed leg injury. . . . Former Bulldog A.J. Green attended Georgia’s practice Wednesday. The Cincinnati Bengals’ star receiver was in town on an off week.

Please show me some proof that Ray Goff gets paid $700K per year. If you believe that then I have some swamp land in Nevada I would like to sell you, moron. Just because some a-hole from Tech posts it on a blog doesn’t mean it’s true. I saw that post too and that guy is as dumb as they come.
Also, Mike Bobo is a long way from 60. In order to be eligible to receive a state pension after 10 years you have to be at least that old.
Further, while tax payers do contribute to the fund, the employees themselves contribute to the fund just like non-government employees contribute to their own retirement funds.

It has always interested me to watch the x-high school football players in the stands explain to their girlfriends what terrible calls the Ga coaches are making or how terrible a player is. Apparently the girls either are not listening or more likely, they know more about the game than the wanna be’s writing most of these “look what I know” comments.

I am the only person on this vent who knows Shawn Williams as a person. I do not condone any of his actions during or immediately following the Vandy game. With that said, for a head coach to call his own player a dumb*** is wrong, pure and simple. Shawn is on track to graduate, has never got into any trouble off the field to my knowledge and has had a very good season on the field this year.
I would have no problem with the SEC suspension and would not have had any problem with coach Richt punishing Shawn. Should have done it in private.
It would have been handled in private, had Coach Grantham not created a spectacle. Then again, there would have been nothing to trigger Coach Grantham’s spectacle had Shawn not behaved as he did. He’s had these problems before with dirty hits. He’s a YouTube star – and that’s not a good thing. These two are primarily at fault for this incident, no matter how badly loyal Dawg fans want to believe otherwise. It’s not Vandy’s fault and it’s not Coach Franklin’s fault. That much is obvious to any unbiased observer.

I am very disappointed in how Richt handled this situation. I am not saying he should have defendws Grantham’s and his player’s actions, but he should not have thrown them under the bus. He is much too worried about how people perceive him and whether people think he is a Christian man and not worried enough about his players and coaches. He could have made a statement about the behavior being investigated and discussions being held with players and coaches. You didn’t see the Vandy coach falling all over himself to admit his player’s mistakes. If fact he was talking to the press today about how the dirty plays didn’t look all that bad to him. I think it may be time for RIcht to go ahead and retire and become a preacher because he does not seem to have the passin or fire in his belly to motivate and inspire his players to play football. He is a good person and he is an inspiration as a role model, but not as a coach.

UGA’s Linebacker depth.
Starters – Cornelius Washington (Sack master), Alec Ogletree (best athlete we have), Christian Robinson (Smartest guy, Team captain and signal caller), Jarvis Jones (going to be All-SEC)
2nd string – Ray Drew (Just started blowing by people, HS ALL American), Amarlo Herrera (plenty of playing time, great freshman), Mike Gilliard (SEC Defensive player of the week), Chase Vasser (plays like his hair is on fire)
Best LB corps in the East bar none.

“Shawn is on track to graduate, has never got into any trouble off the field to my knowledge and has had a very good season on the field this year.”
____________________________________________________________
Amen to all that JB in Blakely, sir. I have maintained this stance throughout; and this will be all I remember about this three and one half million dollar annual total compensation head football coach at The University of Georgia. A man who recruited this young man here, himself. A man who bragged about recruiting him here. A young man who is on target to graduate from my school. A good kid off the field, which compared to Mark Richt’s other Scholarship Recruits, is no mean feat in and of itself. Mark Richt knows his grades; so do all the rest of us that he is not a DUMB***. This is most embarrassing for Shawn Williams, a young man in good standing at my University who is a person and who has to go to classes like I did all those years and face the other 35,000 students with him in the classes and with Professors being told by the highest paid employee at The University of Georgia that this young man is a DUMB***.
I want what is best for my fellow students at my school. I live here. I have lived here. My friends went to UGA either with me, before me or after I did. This coach does NOT care about us; he NEVER has. It is all we have, and is a big part of the comradeship I share with my fellow students at my school. Think about it.
If there were any libel in the reprints of the transcript, then it would not have been printed on the AJ-C or all the other worldwide coverage it has received, and with good reason. His own coach calling his own Scholarship Recruit a DUMB***.
And, if it were libel, Mark Richt would have been the 1st person to stand up and say EXCUSE ME I said Dumb Answer. Don’t give me this, he is taking the HIGH ROAD.
He chose the low road, and he can forever live it. He steadfastly for an entire WEEK now, has refused amid the turmoil in the PRESS where he made this preposterous statement to do anything other than admit his language about Shawn Williams # 36 was “PROFANITY.”
PROFANITY is NOTHING to do with DUMB ANSWER. DUMB*** as correctly reported, is an entirely different story.
DISNEYdawgs.com for EVERY SINGLE transgression by this Mark Richt, have dreamt up their EXCUSES for Mark Richt, with their lies and questioning of every person who ever posts online that maybe we are not well-coached; and maybe 2002 The SEC was down, but for sure 2005, he ended up the # 3 team in the Polls from The SEC.
I have thought and thought about what I should say to you, Shawn Williams’ friends, and to Shawn Williams, himself. I hope that I have done you proud. It is not right.
I feel for Shawn Williams. I really do. I know some think I am heartless. I am anything but. He played all 13 games last year. He is a very good student. He needs to get his degree here, or move on to where he can find a Coach perhaps paid less money, who cares about his kids. We owe, all of us, an apology to Shawn Williams for what Mark Richt has said IN PUBLIC FORUM, for which Mark Richt owes Shawn Williams and Apology in PUBLIC FORUM.
I apologize for my profanity. That doesn’t cut it this time Mark Richt. It is NOT your profanity that I take exception to. It is that you steadfastly refuse to apologize in PUBLIC FORUM for the fact that a fellow student of mine doing well at my school, is called a DUMB***. I wondered when I would see such a post, while all this time, there has been ONLY ME saying this. Thank you JB in Blakely.

The Bleacher Report is a TOTAL JOKE. It has writers who write what they wish, and what they wish is to ALL BE RICHT-0-FILES. They have 4 replies, all by the same 4 every single time, with no DIFFERING POINT OF VIEW. The 4 are all BLIND HOMERS for Mark Richt. This article you provide us the URL Link of is the only Bleacher Report I have read in some long period of time. It is a waste of my time. I do not support any site with CENSORSHIP. I have told each, each time I have witnessed CENSORSHIP. I will continue to tell such sites, exactly that – but, most especially the Bleacher Report. Look, 1st I don’t have any qualms about the suspensions which are in place. The problem I have is that the coaches involved get a private reprimand when the coaches are the ones who are supposed to be setting the example and tell their players how to act. Kwame Geathers deserves better coaching than he is getting, if he thinks he can punch a player and not be suspended for half a sill game against a CUPCAKE of the highest order who has NOT BEAT ANYONE. In fact, there is not 1 team on our entire schedule this season who has beat anyone at all. That includes especially us, South Carolina and Boise State. When no 1 on your entire schedule has beat anyone, that is a schedule of CUPCAKES. Don’t want to be a CUPCAKE ? Beat someone who is a ranked team, otherwise, shut up until you do. Shawn Williams is our man in the Secondary who makes the plays; otherwise Mark Richt would not allow him to be His Starter. I have no problem with the wimpy half a game suspension for Shawn Williams either; he know that himself too. Now, petulant Todd Grantham ? Big issues there representing my school, not his, in this fashion continuously since the very day he arrived here from the 1st time we saw him on TV to the last time we have seen him on TV and in-between. To the RICHT-0-FILES who only want their voices heard, and on the Bleacher Report that is all you get – Mark Richt has the correct position on these 3. However, Mark Richt stepped over the line on the field of play as the game ended, and called 1 of his own Scholarship Recruits, his Starter, a DUMB***. This Bleacher Report does not discuss that. Instead, they say for us to LEAVE THE SEC over the penalties. I could not possible disagree more with Mr. SEC, if I could; and, I can’t. I want us to man up in The SEC, especially if 2 teams are added to The SEC West meaning we get Auburn and Alabama in The East. We need proper coaching, which we do not have and have not had – not to be removed from The SEC. Go tell Mr. SEC is that. Or, are you 1 of the only 4 comments to that moribund site while we have roughly speaking about 5,000 comments on the AJ-C about the same suspensions since last Saturday night when our head football coach called his own Scholarship Recruit in good standing at my University, a DUMB***.

Coach Mark Richt has done nothing but win after two heartbreaking loses to start the season………….and it should have only been one……………Coach Mark Richt is without a doubt one of the top five[5] coaches in all of America……………and if you offered to trade me Saban for Richt today………I wouldn’t say no, I’d say HELL NO…………….Lets get after some Gators now……….GATA BULLDOGS……….RED

If Mark Richt is so revered in the lockerroom, why are there 31 players a week from tomorrow that he gave Scholarships to who will not be lining up at kick-off ? Can’t answer that. I thought so. Where is Shawn Williams saying that Mark Richt is revered in the lockerroom ? Can’t answer that, either, as per always with you. 1 of the top 5 coaches in all of America. Hogwash. Why is he then # 27 in won/lost record after 2005 through this morning RED DOG 77 ? Can’t answer that question either. As always. Why is he 14-12 vs SEC East after 2005, if he is 1 of the top 5 coaches in all of America ? Again, can’t answer that can you ? Just blindly posting LIES as always from you.

Conspiracy, everything caused by some deep dark mysterious outside force ?
Hogwash from a biased lost on our blogs poster, fan of some other team, let’s see, let me guess PROBATION Alabama ?
Everyone knows very clearly that Mark Richt causes all the evils we have; that he specifically recruited a player whose grades are very good and therefore is not subject to being in fact a dumb***, that the recruit made an error on the field of which he would be the 1st to admit; that he has made those errors before too; that he likely might make a similar error in the future, perhaps even in this game; but, that the cause of the situation is that Mark Richt called his own SCHOLARSHIP RECRUIT HERE a DUMB***.
Just as Mark Richt is the reason why we kept Willie Martinez too long. Why we are keeping Mike Bobo too long for pension for his 17 children or to shuffle him back to QB coach which also obviously is of no use at either, looking at his results on the field, and how he never develops his back-ups, even playing CUPCAKES like Florida this season, he won’t get his back-up in, that he cannot convert a 3rd Down and NEVER COULD, never will. That he gives up on 3rd Down and reverts to some conservative position of not making mistakes on Offense while we remain no bloody good on 3rd Down Conversions – ALL the fault of Mark Richt.
That he has recruited 31 players to be on the field for kick-off a week from tomorrow and NONE of the 31 will be – again ALL Mark Richt’s fault.
That he is # 27 in won/loss after 2005 – again Mark Richt’s fault.
That he recruited all these guys who are # 2 Fulmer Cup after 2005 to-date, and mounting – with yet MORE bad choices for the 31 GONE for the kick-off a week from tomorrow – ALL Mark Richt’s great heralding for his recruiting when they got here, and all Mark Richt’s FAULT then.
That we are 2-8 vs Florida and all he can say is that Florida has an unfair advantage in JAX. Again, this is Mark Richt’s FAULT.
That he gets 3.5 million annual total compensation and therefore thinks he can call his own SCHOLARSHIP RECRUIT a student in good standing never arrested who made a simple mistake on the field or 2 or 3 or more who cares, that he anyway thinks he can call him a DUMB***.
The person who is what he is ? Mark Richt is a DUMB***.

One comment I haven’t seen is how badly the Vandy coach out coached CMR and crew for the whole football game. Vanderbilt running the ball at our defensive front successfully for the whole game? Who would have thought that?! They had us on our heels for 4 quarters and we couldn’t seem to adjust; we were out coached, period.
CMR may be a great guy, but he is losing his fans and his players. Time for him to move on to the next assignment.

Coach Grantham is an Evil Genius when it comes to PR. He diffused all criticism against his paper tiger defense simply by throwing a little temper tantrum after the game. There has been absolutely zero assessment of the performance of the Georgia football team after a game that should have never been so close – much less having been decided in the final seconds.
Grantham is the smartest man on this coaching staff.

What an idiotic statement.
He has invested 11 years of his life
He has moved his family to Athens including family members other than his wife and kids.
He has invested thousands of dollars into Prince Avenue Church and Prince Avenue School in addition to many other Athens charities.
You sir are a liar. Sitting behind a computer bashing a good man and a good coach who we are dam lucky to have.
You are a disgrace to your diploma if you have one.

Flatty Tired…you need a hug bro!!
Why do you come on here and bash others..and call people names?? What makes you so perfect in your assessments of the Dawgs, and other bloggers? seems pretty childish. Sometime i enjoy your ranting, but dang bro, you need a hug and CMR to sign “three lil birds” to you!!
If you hate the dawgs that much, then go cheer for another team…instead of wasting time bashing on teams you hate?? Spread love..not war, my friend!!

“gaytor blog”?
Never heard of it. Besides, I’m not meeting you anywhere. I’m not into that sort of thing.

Let’s all go over to the Arizona and UCLA blogs and tell what a bunch of lowlifes they are for recruiting a bunch of immature gangstas. It’ll be a lot of fun and give us some relief from our pitiful, dateless, lives.

Thomas Brown…why you gotta be the center of attention all the time with your blogs…usually people can get to the point without having to monopolozing conversations? And I notice you copy, paste, and repeat many of your blogs. You and tide roll need new material….then maybe some of us would be entertained. Go Dawgs!!
