any talk around town about beamer’s comments? i think its ridiculous and even if so, what a smart move to hold an open practice!! just wondering if the team or coaches have commented.

is thomas brown making his cuts the past few days? how does he look? does mikey henderson look like he will be a 1 or 2 on the depth chart as SE? thanks for all of these updates.

Well put Chip and long overdue. As soon as the pads go on, let me know how Moreno’s blocking appears to be coming along. That is definitely one of CMR’s pet peeves. If you can’t pick up the blitz, then you’re not gonna be in the backfield much. I’m curious to know how he is progressing on that front…thanks for an excellen t blog!

Chip,

It has been said or implied that Jeff Owens and Chris Little are way out of shape. Is this a true assessment? Are there any other guys in obviously poor condition, and if so, who?

In contrast CMR has said the team as a whole is in excellent condition.

What’s the scoop?

By Chip Towers

Just in from the practice field. Another scorcher out there. Today’s observations:

One clear theme was developing out there today. The coaches are starting to get a little testy at this point. I observed four different meltdowns by coaches directed at players not doing what they were supposed to be doing. Even Coach Richt was getting a little aggravated as he personally oversaw a drill on the center-quarterback exchange. He’s looking for a certain sounding pop which indicates the ball has been delivered perfectly. It’s now Day 5 of preseason camp and it’s evident the Bulldogs want to be done with teaching and installation and move on to determining who can play and figuring out what they have to do to beat Oklahoma State… .

Heard a couple facts of interest from Coach Van today. DT Jeff Owens benched 540 this summer and Bryan Evans ran a 4.26-second 40, fastest on the team… .

Speaking of Evans, he was getting around pretty good today. Was working on the sidelines on backpedaling and other footwork. I predict a return of not much more than a week from his hammy injury… .

To watch Georgia D-line coach Rodney Garner at work is to observe a master. He’s always been well known as a recruiter and organizer and as an eventual head coach candidate but I’m not sure he gets enough credit for his on-field teaching abilities of defensive linemen. Just look at the parade of guys he’s put in the NFL. And it looks to me like there may be a few more in the works.

That’s all for now. I’ll try to add some more info as it comes available.

Until then… .

Answers to some of your queries:

animaldr — Not only is Owens not in bad shape but he reportedly is stronger than ever. He’s big time. I can’t say that Little has been very impressive so far but he has a surgically repaired wrist which may have affected his conditioning. He’s still in a green jersey.

A-ville Ranger — As Matthew Stafford told me in a recent conversation, “Dewberry is a freak.” This was a compliment directed at his unusual combination of size, speed and strength. Stafford claims Dew is a 4.5 guy. He’s 6-3, 230 and apparently impressing at practice.

2N4YEARS — Actually the WRs number 13 on scholly. I failed to recognize Aron White as a wideout in my story the other day. My opinion is the Dogs ought to be able to fine 5 or 6 really good ones out of this bunch.

GINBLOSSOM — I have it on good authority Georgia WILL field a team this season and will show up for Okie State and all the other games. The number of suspensions to me indicates there IS discipline in the program, not a lack of it.

Evans ran that IN FRONT of NFL scouts earlier this summer. Hopefully that provided some confidence for the kid. He needed it last year.

Big Dawg:

One of the unfortunate victims of the NCAA’s latest Big Brother tendencies is strength coaches can no longer routinely share their data on their players. That is something Coach Van adamantly speaks out against because he said Georgia’s players work so hard in the offseason they deserve some recognition. But the NCAA passed legislation in recent years that prevents across-the-board release of times and weightlifting info. We’re able to glean some stuff from time-to-time from conversations with Coach Van but he can’t just hand us info carte blanche anymore. Not all schools (a certain one a lot of these coaches used to be a part of being a primary) are adhering to this new rule.

Up here in b-ball country, these folks think they have a legit football team now. I still believe we have a better coach and better players and that with Brandon Couto, the game with UK would have been won.

That being said, UK appears to be loaded offensively and have some questions on defense. Do you see enough depth at DL and LB to make a difference ? Is the talent level at LB better but with less experience ?

Good job Chip. Thanks for the information. You’re definitely feeding my need for a daily UGA Football fix!!

One question: What has been your observation of Searels? He’s the one person on the coaching staff that we really don’t know much about. Richt has said that he came in and changed some things around, but what’s his demeanor like. I’ve seen pics of him walking around in a sweatshirt at practices. And I’ve heard rumors that he’s quite the yeller. Was he one of the coaches that had a meltdown? Is he as much of a stickler for technique and fundamentals as has been reported?

Thanks! Go Dawgs!!

My observations on Searels are that he’s very intense, very hands on, very, er, vocal, and probably pretty good at what he does. Good inside reports from people in the program… .

By NASCARfan

August 8, 2007 5:48 PM | Link to this

Chip,

Can you please make it an extra special point to give us an update on what we all think are the biggest weaknesses on the team and how they are improving or not improving. Of course, I’m sure we all have different ideas of what the weakest area is, but we can all agree that LBs, o-line, d-line, and the wideouts are our biggest areas of concern. I am most concerned with the LBs and wideouts. I think the o-line and d-line are going to surprise those idiot “experts” like the ones at ESPN, but I don’t know about the LBs and the wideouts. I mean, last year we were talking about the wideouts needing to step up, and everyone said they had good spring and fall practices, only to fall apart in games. I know I’m not alone when I say I’m beginning to become a little suspicious that it has more to do with a lack of good coaching as opposed to the players. Coach Richt is always saying that these players need to play better, but come on, for 6 straight years it’s all the players fault? For 6 straight years, we’ve had all-world talent and they never come in and produce like they should? I’m trying to take a realist’s point of view here, Chip. When it comes to the wideouts, who is the common denominator? Coach Eason. It’s kind of like when the Braves were making the playoffs but kept on choking every single year in the playoffs. Who was the common denominator? Bobby Cox. After awhile, blaming the players for not playing hard enough just doesn’t cut it anymore, and you HAVE to look at the coaching. As for the LBs, I’m not worried about the coaching there, just the inexperience of the players. Even though Miller is there, he’s done nothing to really stand out from the pack his time here at Georgia. What do you see from Miller? Is he becoming a leader in the defense in the regretable absence of Paul Oliver? Is he becoming a guy that the other guys can all rally around, and whom they really believe in as a leader on the field? What are you seeing out of Miller?

Thanks, Chip.

Great to hear from geechee, who was right about staying away too long. I’ve never blogged much, but I enjoyed reading his posts before he dropped off the face of the earth. Hope you’re doing well geech, wherever you’ve been.

Looks like those cameras we installed at Tech’s practice fields are really paying off! That must be where LSU tuned up for the SECCG in 2005 before we crushed their BCS Bowl hopes.

Seriously, I must admit I was extremely disappointed with Frank Beamer’s unprofessionalism. He is the last person I thought would throw around such blind accusations to an equally respected coach. If he isn’t embarrassed by now, he surely will be soon.

How can he explain the first half of that game when it appeared they knew everything we were going to do on offense and defense? Or maybe Richt wanted to spot them (VT) a three TD advantage at the half so it wouldn’t look so obvious. I believe he (Frank) is still sore about his top-ranked defense getting outplayed by a better squad. After all, coaches are evaluated by their ability to make adjustments at the half, especially when facing adversity.

Chip, I just love the way you are interacting with the fans, answering most of our questions, all while putting the lowlifes in their place. Keep up the good work, and GO DAWGS!!!!

of course, i quit blogging in here too.

I heard to watch out for T. Brown getting his starting position back. T. Brown had a bad year last year in the begining but was poised to have a big second half. The kid is special.

Can’t wait to hear about 2 a days! and how TBrown looked.

Buck, you head up the western conference of the FOC.

Techie’s, once we started the FANS OF CHAN, I laid off your blogs. To much responsibility with my FOC duties.

We also left off Wareagle who is probably recoviring right now. General Neyland I believe has an invite to join our order.

Our last board meeting was a blast and if we have it at the same spot, Shockem will be about 100 feet away.

More on the LB hot seat this year ought to be Jancek. When the opposing RB’s did have a field day on us the past two seasons, and there have been plenty of occasions, our LB’s were out of position and extremely slow to react…coaching.

You know what made it worse? When it became free. I paid my $30 bucks a year to be able to login and blog about UGA and enjoyed all of those guys. Now being free you have a bunch of immature grown adults. Hey, if it improves our quality again I’ll pay.

After watching the college football preview on Georgia last night, I couldn’t help but to get excited about our dawgs!! As Mr.College Football said, watch for Israel Troupe and Rashad Jones to make a big difference!!

I always thought that David Green and David Pollack were the only two UGA teammates to engage in sexual activity together.

What’s with these pictures of Mary Stafford I’m seeing on the internet?

Chip…with all due respect…UGA fans cause much more trouble in the GT blog than GT or UF fans do here.

Maybe you should suggest that your bloggers stop stirring up trouble in the GT blog so that is doesn’t follow them back here?

godawg, I am not sure I am on the official roster. I beleive somebody suggested an induction a few months ago, but I don’t know if that was ever voted on. I am however an original member of the Bill King Ayatollahs, (I’d like to beleive the inspiration) so maybe I can leverage that into official membership into your prestigious club. Or is it a gang?

Has anybody ever noticed that Fred Thompson bears a strong resemblance to what CFP may look like in 20 years, or after the coming season..? As for being mentioned as a candidate for a back seat on the board of the FOC, I feel honored. If any of you full time members of the FOC can submit or endorse a presidential candidate for the 2008 election cycle, please do so…I’m at a loss…

RUMOR FROM ATOP ROCKY—-The UT AD was seen at a Home Depot having a set of keys made. The rumor goes on to say this set of newly cut keys are to CPF’s office’s and will be handed over to David Cutcliffe before our opening day conflict out west…just in case the need arises…

I agree with CRB, take a look at the Tech blog and see how many UGA fans flame us all the time. So, don’t complain when your fans are doing the same and worse on Tech blogs!!!!!

The blog is great, and it will be much better if everyone adheres to your suggestion today.

Has anyone read Stewart Mandel’s mailbag re: Georgia’s place in his self-styled class system? I don’t have a problem with ranking Georgia under the likes of USC, Michigan, Notre Dame, Alabama, FSU et al in national prominence; however, I do disagree that Georgia’s “G” is not nationally recognizable, and he does not credit the iconic universal recognition of Uga.

What are your thoughts? Is UGA a regional power or a premiere national player?

rob, I read that article and in a a$$ backwards way he has a point; however I asked a question and we’ll see if he answers. Question: If we beat 3 Kings plus we beat all 4 Coaches that have won a NC. that are on our schedule where would you rank us.

Samoan Dawg: Geno Atkins has already surpassed Kade Weston at DT. He’s a good one. The two of them make for a good one-two punch.

Y’all check out the new blog, which should be up any moment.

FLASHBACK—-When Herschel was a freshman and 3rd on the Dooley (won’t start freshmen) depth chart, who were the 2 RB’s ahead of him..? and CMR says CK looks good when he knows what to do. Simplify…Call CK 2 hole, or CK sweep left, etc…He’ll be fine…

NASCAR: Don’t you get it by now ? The whole point of playing for GA is that you can be all-world and sit on the bench for 3 years without playing and without getting hurt. All you have to do is play in your senior year and you become an automatic super-healthy NFL selection. Shockley worked it to perfection.

CHIP, can you give more info on the comp. between GENO ATKINS AND KADE WESTON? what’s up with “WESTON”? when he was being recruited, he was considered to be one of the best recruits in the usa. is he playing to his potential? or is “GENO” just a better player overall? also, give us your impressions of “KNOWSHON MORENO”, as to how good of a back he will be this year and in future years. do you think he will hold off “CALEB KING” in next year’s backfield?
