I sit here this morning thinking about alot of the negativity that surrounds our team. Whether it be people questioning our QB and RB situation or the nay sayers about slick Willie and our defense. I see our glass as half full. Yeah we lost three first round picks but this is Georgia! I'm not trying to hate on Teams like UK or Vandy but most of our third stringers would be starters in their programs. And in case you haven't noticed UK isn't as awful as they once were, they are however doomed by the conference in which they play.
I find these points for a lil optimisim in Athens:
1. Joe Cox is everything that Staff wasn't while retaining a few of his better traits (excluding the deep ball).
Joe is deadly accurate as was showcased years ago in the elite 11QB camp. In the camp he won every accuracy drill over names like Mark Sanchez. Joe has seen slot of the schemes on both sides of the ball in the SEC, and this team listens to and believes in Joe Cox. In the offence we run I believe Joe to be the better fit as our leader. Plus he died his hair red and that's dedication!
2. We are going to miss Knowshon, but we do have atleast three SEC caliber backs. Carlton Thomas(The Red Shirt Rocket) is a name we will all know well by seasons end. He has an elusive quality much as Moreano and is very quick. The only drawback on him is size, but some of the best backs in college are small. I also look for Samuel to emerge as our short yardage back and the keeper of the clock. We've also got a very capable Caleb King in the stable. I look for us to have alot of success in our running game through various looks.
3. I've heard roomers on other blogs and sports sites that we are gunna have some sets for Logan. This really interests me. I love our pro style offence but would love to see a lil option or spread. Gray is very athletic as we saw last year and is a decent passer. I believe linking
Logan up occasionaly will give ds fits. As far as our an situation goes remember we have two young studs on the sidelines.
4. Our I line is almost completely healthy and they have some more experience and should be a real strength. I look for Cordy to be a stand out this year.
5. Finally, our d. As dissapointing as last year was we still finished at 22nd in total defence. We really had a down year defensively but we had a few key injuries and for some god for Saken reason we forgot how to tackel. I also believe that Willie will help our ends find their way to the quarterback with more frequency. A better pass rush and mediocre tackling will make our d much improved over last year.
I hope my beliefs hold true and we see some improvements across the board. I think Cox will be a suprise, Charles and Brown will be contenders for FOY. I am an extreme optimist but I see this team being a big suprise and battling for a bcs bid or a upper tier bowl. I have our Dawgs at 10-2 with losses in Jacksonvile to God in jean shorts, and to Lsu or Okst.
What do you think and if I'm wrong tell me.
