The Lumpster may get a few carries but look for the Brown, Moreno train to roll through Sanford North. All aboard.

I think this is a great problem to have. Go with the flow, if Brown and Moreno keep rolling like they are- play them. If they get slowed down give Lump some totes. The O-Line is where it really matters. Hopefully the youngsters up front will continue to improve. I have complete confidence that the UGA coaching staff will make the right call.

Personally, I thought Lumpkin was the best back on the team to start the season. I think he could help a lot in short yardage situations because he is more of a power back which helps as you get closer to the goal line. As good as TB and KM have been neither of those guys is going to blast through a D tackle or a 230lb linebacker to get the tough yards in short yardage situations. If Lumpkin played somewher else where he got 25 carries a game, he would wear people down, and have great production. He will probably thrive, if given a chance at the next level running between the tackles.

cuz,where you been man?i was reading that mr football blog,but it got boring!i am glad to have luump back.when moreno got stung saturday i had a death grip on my seat,and my hands over my eyes!get my drift?lump needs a few carries a week to get his timing back and get in game shape. i want him back as soon as possible,one misstep now and we are down to one rb.scary.

If he’s not 100%, why play him? I’d be concerned with Lump’s ability to hold onto the ball. Plus, one helmet to the cast and he could be out for the season. Not that anyone would do that on purpose.

Run Brown and Moreno and Southerland. Bottom line, they all three need the O-line to block effectively to beat Tennessee.

I think Lumpkin should get a chance.He’s a senior and while the good of the team has to come first the kid has earned his chance.If it becomes apparent he’s not getting it done a decision can be made at that time.Ideally the third back would be a change of pace type.I’m not sure there’s enough difference in Lumps style to qualify as a change of pace but he is a bit bigger and more of a strait line runner than Moreno and Brown.

If we are winning safely in the second half, he’ll get 7-8 carries. Trust me, CMR will not put the ball in the air with a quarter and a half to go if we have a 14-17 point lead, even on 3rd and long. He would rather punt it. We will run every down and Lump will get some carries. Tight ballgame, another story, maybe a carry or two. To big of a game to test that soft cast.

The two that are back there are doing a great job, but if 24 misses some assignments look for Lump to be in quick. I like the way it looks right now. A two back rotation gives each guy plenty of carries, but three might not allow any to set a rythm

Lumpkin is a great back and I respect his hard nose style of runing the footabll, but I would not risk giving him the ball if his hand is not 100%. A fumble in a tight game can determine the end result. Thats one reason not to run Lumpkin, another is the two headed bull named “Brown-Moreno.” I loved watching the game this weekend.

Two great running backs doing what they do best…piling up the yards. If we had a good solid push up front, we could run the ball on any defense. If I were CMR and Bobo I would stick with the two headed bull and let them keep the momentum they have built.

In reference to Brown not being a “power back” … um, Brown has the highest recorded strength index in Georgia history. Dude’s a beast. Just sayin’.

Look, I feel for Lumpkin. I really do. He’s a victim of poor circumstance, and had he not gotten injured, he probably would’ve held off Moreno to be Brown’s running mate this season. But as the old saying goes, you have to dance with the one that brought you. Brown and Moreno seem like they feed off each other. One man’s success dictates the other. Anyone who saw the two “Crank that” at Sanford this weekend knows the two are quite a special pair.

I wish there was playing time for Lumpkin, but throwing him into the mix will, in my opinion, mess up a very good thing. Not really sure how you fix this situation. It’s his senior season, and the guy has been a great teammate, buuuut …

Unfortunately, when guys get hurt other players move into those places, so an injured player has to work their way, or ‘earn’ if you will, their way back into the rotation. I think Lumpkin should be eased back into the rotation, and since he’s a different style runner than Brown & Mereno should be used in different schemes, such as short yardage plays. This is Lumpkins’ last year, so I’m sure he’ll want to impress when he’s inserted into the line-up. By the end of the year they’ll probably all get equal playing time. GO DAWGS!!!!!!!

Look, we all love Lump. He’s a team guy and a strong player. But you don’t go to Tennessee and stick your rusty player in the game. You go with the guys who are on fire. As long as Brown and Moreno are hot, you keep Lumpkin out of the game until the next game in which the Dawgs get a 17-point lead.

By Dorsey Hill

I don’t buy into this stuff about adding a 3rd back to the rotation being a problem. What matters is that we can throw 3 backs at any team each of whom could be regarded as the 2nd best back in the conference (#1 is McFadden, of course). I can’t think of any back for any other SEC team that I’d rather have than the three we’ve got.

All that matters is production. If each of these guys take it as a challenge to perform so that they get more carries, the OL will have confidence when their number is called and we’ll be able to punish some teams in the 2nd half and salt away the clock when we need to.

We need to continue what we started last week vs. Ole Miss. That is the sort of offensive production I expected from this team when the season started. If we can come close to replicating that balance we had with some long runs thrown in we can be a dangerous team in the second half.

While, I don’t expect to see very many runs called on 3rd and 19 like Saturday, I do remember when 3rd and 8 was often a sweep and we’d get it. If we can have teams at least somewhat concerned about the run in 3rd and 3 to 3rd and 8 situations, we are gonna light some people up.

I have to agree with that. Why play him if we have two healthy productive backs that are playing so well.

Let him get the hand completely healthy for another week or two unless one of those two backs gets injured.

Nick, TB may have a strength index that is off the charts, no doubt he is a beast in the weight room. But strength index takes into account a persons height and weight for calculation, it still does not change the fact that he is 5’8” and 195 lbs. Lumpkin is 6’1” and 225 there is a big differce when you put 225lbs behind your pads as opposed to 195lbs. And I am not picking on TB he is a specimin, he is just a little guy.

Oh boy what a problem to have. I say limit Lumpkin this weekend due to the team we are playing and the cast. You know they will go after it and they will go for the strip like they are suppose to. With Moreno and Brown working like they have all season we can keep the defense off balance a little more. Bring in Lumpkin and they pretty much know what we are going to do (power run). I say give him a rest one more week and more practice with the new cast. Great back, power runner but let’s not bring him back in until he is 100%. Turnovers can be costly in this game as we found out last year. I doubt he can catch a pass at this point so you lose that option with him in there.

By A-ville Ranger

Nick Brown is strong but in another sport I used to be involved with we defined power as speed + strength + focus = power.Brown has seemed resigned to being tackled in the past.Moreno has a mind set that he’s not going down unless he damn well has to.Last week Brown liberated his strength and turned it into power.I believe Moreno has showed Brown the way and if he can stay in that zone he will be a power back.

I think what that poster was saying is that Brown is not a short yardage back at 5’ 8”. He is the strongest guy on the team pound for pound, but not the guy you want on the 2rd and 1 or goal line situations running up the gut

Lumpkin won’t have to worry about getting his totes this year when he gets back. He will have to worry if he comes back too soon and has that hand become nagging injury. The Drew Bledsoe thing won’t happen to him so I think he needs to relax

As a sidenote and I have to confess, I feel guilty to even say this, but in the back of my mind, I just havent been able to forget about the fumbles last year that had as much to do with loosing a couple of games as anything else. I have become a real big fan of the RB that Have NOT done thst this year. And Lumpkin’s blocking last year against TN cost us easily 14 points. So maybe a better attitude is…I’ll just say, I’d like to see him atone for those.

By anb

I agree with most that the “crank that” twins should get the bulk of the totes, with a little lumpkin thrown in. one observation, with lumpkin having a cast, when he does get in the game, i would not see us using him in the passing game, which our backs have done an exceptional job of this year. so the point is, having lump in the game gives the tenn. defense one less thing to think about, which is not what we want or need if were gonna come back with a win.

By Harryj

October 3, 2007 4:37 PM | Link to this

Lumpkin could be used as a semi-WR or on screen pass plays, but I would not use him right now as a RB by taking a chance to run him into the middle of big defensive lineman as it could reinjure his thumb. By setting him up to catch passes, he could be a larger threat and allow TB and KM to be the running backs. Personally, I don’t think Lumpkin is 100% ready to be a 3rd running back—and it could affect the team chemistry especially against TN. I say, “Don’t rock the boat or if it ain’t broke don’t fix it unless the situation changes.”

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. I too appreciate Lumpkin, but this is about W’s. Both Brown and Moreno have looked strong this season (especially last week); therefore, they are to be rewarded with the significant amount of PT.

I hope that we don’t abandon the throw. Everyone knows how weak UT’s run D has been to date and we need to take advantage of that too. But, a couple of passes on run downs (ie: TD pass in overtime @ Bama) could be for big gains?

Also, has anyone thought about the walk-on named Kalvin Daniels? Never heard of him before the Ole Miss vs. GA game. Pretty impressive runs—6 plays for 43 yards. Not too shaby! He could be your 3rd back or heck, make him a WR. This guy could be something special!

By AltamahaDawg

You just have to trust the medical staff to know if he is healed. I understand the rust, but all the more reason to play ASAP. He is out of the cast. I read them saying he can handle the ball well, with just a thump splint. I am sure it will be very limited and situational this week. We do need him to get back though, I thought we were going to be down to walk on freshman RBs last week for a few moments. Lumpkin will be needed to win this year.

I love Lump and he deserves to be on the field as much as possible, but I am worried about fumbles. Brown and Moreno have proven themselves so I say let them carry the ball. Lumpkin can pass block and kill Vols on special teams. You don’t need a working thumb to knock a D lineman’s legs out from under him. I feel for Lump, he deserves to get carries,but its not worth the risk. A turnover in Neyland could turn the entire game around.

Lump is a great back but should not get his first carries back from an injury in Neyland stadium. I would compare this too the US women’s soccer debacle in the world cup.

Don’t know if you could, but if Lumpkin could get a medical redshirt for this year it would be a win-win for us. He would give us senior leadership next year with Moreno and King plus I believe his NFL stock would rise getting to play more. I remember when he was talked about as the next Herchel but things haven’t worked out for him as we all had hoped. He is an outstanding tallent that has not scratched his potential. Either way I wish him the best. Looking for Ky to put a whipping on SC tomorrow. Go dawgs!

I agree, a 3 back rotation is going to work itself out one way or another. Production, injuries or other will take one and sometimes all out of rotation. It does however work, fresh legs and hungry backs with something to prove. 3 different styles and looks isn’t beneficial to opposing defenses either.

lumpkin should play, pure and simple. on most teams a player doesn’t lose his job due to injury, and neither should he. beside if given time to get into a groove, he’s the best back on the team, regardless of who else is back there. stafford,lumpkin, brown, or anyone else should recieve the benefit of the doubt when it comes to the best player at the position. it would be wrong of CMR to not put him back in the game, at least until he proves it one way ot the other. it would send the wrong message to players rehabbing like crazy to return to the field.

Nick and Mike and a few others. I think it has a lot to do with a thing called enertia. A heavy object going fast produces more destructive energy than a smaller object at the same speed. That’s why big fast backs such as Hershel or Bo were so good. They simply ran through tackles. They didn’t see the need for dancing around and waiting for a hole to open. I’m not going to compare Lump to those guys but he does have more size than either Brown or Moreno. I think he would provide a good change of pace (depending on the hand). Great strength is a good thing endurance wise and for lifting a lot of weight, but RBs are not going to be trying to lift defenders. They should be trying to run through them. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line.

I hope when A.J. Green gets here he pushes and motivates the receiving corps the way Moreno does the other running backs.

Ware saw the writing on the wall. I think Lump gets told upfront that others are hot and he only has a few carries to show he deserves to crack the lineup. If he produces then great, otherwise he knows what to do for the good of the team.

Regarding the graduation rates, that Georgia was last in the SEC in football and basketball should come as no surprise. We wrote about it last year and the year before that. When the NCAA first came out with the GSR two or three years ago and Georgia basketball got such a bad rap, I reported that it would not improve the next two years because those players had all left or transferred and same with the football team. These latest numbers are from the classes of 1997-2000 and have nothing to do with any of the players or coaches currently at the school. The only pertinent academic statistic these days is the APR, which deals with current players and coaches… . I’m not defending UGA athletics because it did not handle academics well in the previous regime and they are reaping what was sowed then. But to be fair there has been a seismic shift under the current university and athletic administrations that has produced significant changes on that front.

If Lumpkin isn’t 100%, it is flat-out ridiculous to play him. In any event, they all need to keep their mouths shut. That’s the one thing I don’t understand about Richt is how he doesn’t tell his players to not start believing their press. UGA is not USC just yet…

Lumpkin deserves a shot when he is able to play. There are lots of ways to ease him in, helping to keep everybody’s legs fresh for the fourth quarter. I’m glad the coaches think he is ready to play. We need his experience and leadership, especially down the stretch against UF, UK, AU and GT.

First of all, you’ve got to feel for Lump. Senior season. Trying to work your way back while the other two tailbacks are doing a great job.

Maybe there is a silver lining in all this…

Last year, when Joe T got injured, UGA’s hand was forced and they had to start playing the other QB’s. Joe T stays healthy, Stafford may not have got the reps and would probably not be as far along as he is now.

Lump stays healthy, and Moreno doesn’t get the number of carries he has to date.

Things have a way of sorting themselves out…

By Dawg4life

If Brown/Moreno are struggling (which I can’t even imagine), then Lump should get a few carries to see if he can liven things up. Otherwise, give him garbage minutes and let him get his wind back so that maybe we can play him next weekend. But it’s imperative that we don’t mess up the chemistry of Brown/Moreno right now.

I’m doing some night work waiting for a program to run and thought I’d drop a line or two.I see that we have 21 commitments if all stick.That would leave four more with some top guys that we’d be crazy to turn away.This is my wish list of remaining prospects.The top rated lb and maybe the best in a couple of years Arthur Brown out of Kansas still list UGA but I’d be surprised if he comes.Jerrell Harris another lb from Gadsden Alabama is a great pursuit type and we may have a better shot at him.As I’ve made clear I’m a huge fan of Sanders Commings (see above)another lb is Ricky Holloway I can’t recall where he’s from right this minute but he’s a human wrecking ball.Now for the really important group the O-linemen.Listed in order of ranking Vinston Painter,Antoine McClain,Cordy Glenn,Omorege Uzzi and Greg Shaw.On the other hand we may be lucky to get four from this group.If I could pluck any four I’d take Brown,Commings,Painter and McClain.

Lumpkin smumpkin! This is two mediocre teams meeting for a mid-level bowl look. Neither defense is squat this year and Ga’s offense line is young. Tenn will score 27-37 points and Ga better be prepared to do the same! Ainge is virtually untouchable behind that offensive WALL and will probably throw for 280-320 yds. Fumbles will determine this one and don’t forget Dawgfans, you are an underdawg in this game. Should be a very entertaining 3 hours or so.

I don’t think any Gators fans are in hiding. We are just very disappointed in how the Gators lost to Auburn…again…and the fact that the team picked a bad time to not play well. But that is the SEC. You better be ready to play every weekend. But the Gators came back from the Auburn loss last year, and they are capable of doing it again. Looks like the Dogs are getting stronger, and better. Like I said before, the game in Jax this year should be a good one to watch. Both teams are very similar this year. They are both young and talented, but very inexperienced. If you dog fans think Florida is any less good, you are very mistaken. I think it will be a big challenge for the Gators to beat LSU at night in Baton Rouge, but it is not out of the possibility if the Gators play up to their potential. The Auburn game was a much bigger game than the LSU game for the Gators. If they had won that game, they could have still afforded a loss to LSU. Now, it is a must win for the Gators…although a team might still win the East with 2 losses this year. I think Kentucky will lose 2, as will South Carolina. I am pulling for a Georgia win on Tennessee this week and a South Carolina win over Kentucky, to give them 2 losses as well. Then, a Gators loss to LSU will not be the end all for this season in the SEC. If that happens, the Gators can still control their destiny. Good luck you dog fans this weekend. Go Dawgs. Go Gators!

TampaGator…it’s easy to graduate your athletes when they major in Waste Management Caretaking and take their finals in crayon. Like you’ve got room to talk - after this weekend - you’re going to be 0-2 for the past two weeks… Geaux Tigers!

And by the way… if Lumpkin carries this weekend (with a cast on) expect a devastating (Jasper Sanks type) fumble in a critical situation. Wait until he’s 100% before you put Lumpy in - as much as we love him - the Vols are going to be up for us and will be aiming those big dumb urrenge helmets at Lumpkins’ hands. Stick with the one who brought you - Moreno and Brown all they way!

Be glad that Lump is back. It doesn’t matter if he’s the best back on the field or not. He’s a consistent player who’s a good between the tackles runner and can occasionally break one for 20-25 yds.
The reason we need him is that there is a great chance that someone else will get injured this year. Look at the past history of Lump and TB. They may not have a season ending injury, but may have to come out for a couple of series. Lump is also an asset for pass protection if we do have throw in the 4th qtr. He won’t make too many Sportcenter highlight reels, but Lump brings senior leadership and strength to this young team. I, for one am happy to see him back (even if he only gets 4-5 carries).

Three tailbacks is a minor point. What people should be concerned about is the Martinez-Eric Ainge/Cutcliff match up. If Willie hasn’t learned anything from the last time, it could be another one of those explosions that his defense seems prone to allow too often. Ainge is 6’6” 220 lbs. and 2-0 vs Ga.

Fresh legs-fresh legs-fresh legs-If Lump helps by continuously pounding the defensive line of TN, then he will be a good part of the mix. Each back runs differently, and variations in running style can run a defense ragged. Keep ‘em guessing and run all three.

Totes? like it or not, CMR has already said that he wouldn’t forget Lump. That tells me that he’ll play and we’ll have a 3 TB rotation. I’m listening to UGASPORTS weekly radio show. They are interviewing Stafford and boy has he learned how to handle the media. What does this have to do with anything? Because not one time has pass catching been mentioned yet Bobo’s offense is built around back that can run AND catch the ball. I think that Lump scored on a screen pass against AU last year. Lump will get the totes and it’s just a question of which game. The Vols have lost two tough road games and we’ve lost one tough HOME game. Run defense has been a sore point for the Vols as has their secondary. As CMR just said that lump has been playing and will get on the field Sat. count on 3 TB rotation. Here’s my question: will the Vols play 8 in the box and force the Dawg to throw to win or will they drop back and play pass defense and force us to run? There’s no good reason why we shouldn’t win this game.

Someone shouldn ‘t loose their position due to injury. Greg should be the number 2 back again. Moreno couldn’t beat him out during the spring or summer practices, so it shouldn’t be a problem now. Moreno has done his job and stepped in while Greg was hurt. It is now time for him to go back to the bench and be ready if some else gets hurt.

now how can having 3 superb backs, that could all start on any team but Arkansas or West Virginia, possibly be a problem? the 3 back rotation hasn’t worked at UGA becasue Ware wasn’t that good. with TB, Kno Kno, and Lump running in the same game, we won’t even need to pass it. that being said, i don’t know if Lump is ready for UT. but remember in 05 after his knee surgery he came back in the championship game and completely dominated West Virginia. im sure CMR is taking that into account as well

You Need 3 strong backs in the SEC. They get beat up so much. I think the carries should be distributed based on the type of running formations GA uses. Brown runs better out of the power I formation. Moreno runs better in space on stretch plays, pulls, screens etc. Lump can do a lil of them all. Confuse the defenses. I am sure Fulmer watches tapes and looks at peronnel to dtermine what play is coming next. I think Ga should start the game off passing with some play action pass and screen action because Tenn expects power running. Once they loosen up the defense, those backs will have a field day on that average defense that Tenn. plays. Ironically, it will be the passing game that will determine whether we get this victory or not. Look at Tenn games this year, every receiver they have played this year has lit them up. The guy Jackson from Cal and the guy from Florida had huge games. Bailey, Wilson and Massouque(spelling) and possibly Chandler, if he can catch the ball! should have big games. Go Dawgs!

General, that is a tough thing to do to a guy that has been there and done so much. I keep comparing him to L Carr but when it isn’t working anymore you would hope that they would recognize it themselves and say goodbye. Carr actually is.

Dang people, it’s not like Lumpkin is done for the year. He will get rotated back into the line-up. As several have pointed out you need three backs to complete the season due to injury, fatigue etc. Also he is being fitted with a splint not a cast. Regardless I still think it would be tough to handle the ball as securely as you need to with that thing. Maybe it is just a press release to confuse UT or set them off in a different direction. I like our chances with the backfield as it is now and I like them even more when Lumpkin gets back to 100%. GO DAWGS!

Play Lump. He’s a good RB, deserves it, and a player should never be demoted for an injury. Maybe limit his carries just because it’s his first game back, say 5-7 carries.

Like a lot of people have said, it does not depend on the backs. You can have Herschel back there, but if the line can’t block and misses their assignments it will be a long day. This will be the toughest place they will play at. We are going to see if our line grows up or not. UT has had 2 weeks to prepare on how to blow through the line. They are still very talented so this game makes me nervous.

white and gold, I sure do miss you. You were my only fan at Tech, and you played one hell of a rusty trombone. Keep the dream alive little buddy… I’ll be home soon to teabag you like the old days.

Hey, white and gold, why don’t you get off my nuts and stop acting like you want to blow me? I’m not interested in being your gay porn fantasy boy. All I want to do is play football, even though I know we can’t beat Georgia.

Kinda getting out of hand don’t you think guys. Innuendos are one thing. Explicit sexual descriptions are another.

I, as one who can’t stand this White and Gold guy, thought that was hilarious. Explicit, yes. Offensive, no. Perhaps this will encourage him to take his trash talk elsewhere.

As for the business at hand- Look for the Dawgs running game on Rocky Top to be all downhill. T.B. and Kno Mo will rush for 200+ combined, with Lumpy bringing in 30-40 in his rehab game. Dawgs will make light work of the Vols and hopefully Uga VI will bite Smokey! GO DAWGS!!!

Don’t know what the final score will be but I know a QB coach when I see one and SOS has shown over the years that he knows what he’s doing. Then I watch Stafford being asked to cover for the young “OL” yet he isn’t being used in any way so that he can develope his enormous talent and then all of the experts telling him don’t throw off your backfoot, do this or that and it’s really funny except for the talent not being used. As much as any lineman on the field, he’s getting just as down & dirty as they are just in a different way……IMO THE LAST THING THE DAWGS NEED IS A 3 HEADED TB PLAYING. WE’VE USED EVERY SCREEN IN THE BOOK AND SO FAR OUR TB’S HAVE CAUGHT THE BALL SO DOES THE TEAM REALLY NEED ANOTHER TOTER? SOMEONE MADE THE BEST POST OF THE DAY WHEN THEY SUGGESTED USING HIM IN THE VANDY GAME.
