About A-backs and uni complaints
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I’m at a loss of sorts for material with the combination of practice closing and this limbo period before the first game, especially in what amounts to a transition period for me, but …
- Paul Johnson’s decision to give Troy Garside a shot at A-back strikes me two ways: There’ depth, albeit young, at safety, and he’s probably not going to be able to help much there. Plus, while there are a lot of bodies, also very young, at A-back, I don’t think Paul’s been as impressed with what he’s seen there. Lucas Cox, who had emerged as a candidate to start, apparently has been injured, and nobody else is stepping into the void. Two true freshmen, Peeples and Lockhart, are listed in the mix on the depth chart.
Johnson said Tuesday about A-backs: “We’re going to play some freshmen in there, but physically they’re still growing, they’re babies. We need somebody bigger in there.” Garside’s not big, per se, at least not like Cox, but he’s more physically developed than those freshmen for sure.
- Listened to a little of Paul’s radio show. Good grief, people, give the uniform questions a rest. You really think he chose the uniforms? Come on!
Have to go.
Later.
