Howard Roark 195 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 On 8/9/2019 at 3:38 PM, McLoofus said: Yeah. Very interesting. Are defenses just bigger and faster now? I mean, we still have the occasional guy like DMac, AP, Fournette, Zeke, Barkley... but of all those guys, I don't know if I'd quite put any of them on that level. Except maybe Barkley. Hoo boy, he's special. Maybe Zeke, but he seems like more of a grinder. I think McFadden comes the closest, but that was a real run of freaks. Even UNC had Kelvin Bryant at that time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said I don't think UGA has backed off. We have been good here for a while with Tank. He’s all AU as long as Caddy, TWill and CRG are here. Gus needs to have a good season to keep this class and recruiting staff in place. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a hell of a class and I'd hate to see Gus fired because I truly think he is building something special (as long as he keeps his staff together).

Not sure if he still feels this way but he's said a number of times 8 wins isn't enough for Gus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AND AN ASSURINGLY INSPIRED GUS MALZAHN? I honestly think that 2020 should be the natty run between the recruiting class, schedule and QB departures. 2019 needs to be a natty run too but 2020 should be Our offensive line will be extremely depleted then. Also, you need to include Joiner in that mix. He could be a huge threat in the backfield as well. All our runningbacks, excluding the speedster in Shivers, will be quite big dudes.

It won't be depleted, it just won't have many of the starters we currently have. I dont think Joiner will ever get enough touches to be more than a gadget play guy but he SHOULD be a versatile threat and probably would at a lot of other places Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,652 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 A quote from bigs that I just heard at a podcast: "I wanted to go somewhere that told the truth" UGA must be doing alot of the Saban patented recruiting, without it coming from Saban's mouth 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worm at 5'7 is about as thick as a RB gets at that height. He is arguably pound for pound the strongest player on the team. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of his work was with the 2nd team. Plus after Boobee got a few carries early he was held out because the staff know what they have in him. HJ & Worm both did well with more touches Thursday. Apparently Worm had a few break away runs that were blown dead because the staff wanted to run more plays from that part of the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I past him in height in 8th grade. He used to tell me, "you can't help being short, but you can help being small". I always liked that. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CR 2,438 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Lots of people just assume because Shivers is short, he must be small. They're not the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a neighbor who I used to tease for being short and his best response was “I am taller than you when I am standing on your chest.” Worm looks like the kind of beast who could make that a reality if he wanted. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
