What’s that Coming Down the Track?

A serious, full fledged heart attack. If the Georgia Bulldogs continue to ride this roller coaster they’re on, taking pre-game medications will become a part of the tail-gating ritual. Do you want a Beta-Blocker Burger or a Digitalis Dog? Last Saturday I failed to take care of things before the game and by the second half I was feeling my blood pressure soar!

The only good thing about this ride we’ve been on is that we have such an upside. I feel like our defense is like Forrest Gump before the braces came off his legs. They are being held back. Let ‘em run Forrest! To be fair, our guys have been a patchwork of players trying to deal with injuries and suspensions. This week should be better as some of the missing pieces like Justin Houston come back.

Offensively we saw flashes of what could be. Richard Samuel, AJ Green, Branden Smith and Orson Charles all showed signs of fulfilling the promise of their recruiting hype. Caleb King will probably see his first action of the season. The fact that Marlon Brown and Rontavious Wooten are still waiting in the wings, is very exciting. Logan Gray, the one snap wonder, has to be a little frustrated. It would be better to not play at all, than to go in for no apparent reason.

I really believe we need to continue to give these young guys reps because they need to get over any jitters now. Let them build some confidence, so as the conference schedule progresses and Halloween approaches, this arsenal of weapons could be formidable. Sounds like Coach Richt may understand the need to open things up more and more. I hope so.
