My thoughts on what is going on in Athens

OK, after a long Saturday, I've tried to think about the good and the bad when talking about the Dawgs. We'll start with the positives...

Aaron Murray is gonna be a great college quarterback. Thats right, I said great, not good. He already exhibits great confidence and awareness and really looks good when he's on the move. Speaking of which, why is he not rolled out of the pocket more? I have no clue. Maybe our OC can answer that. But I'm not hitting the negatives yet.

Our wide receivers made some big catches late in the game. The only problem I see here is there was not a lot of seperation, but when the ball was tossed their way, many of them made some very nice catches.

Our defense is getting close to being really good. We played a much better defensive game this weekend and the tackling was 100 times better. We got fooled on the first series and had some breakdowns that offered some big plays. Part of that is learning a new scheme and knowing where you should be. We'll get there.

Blair Walsh is the best kicker in the country. The guy just puts it thru the uprights when called upon and I was ready for him to bang in a 55 yarder for the win, it just didn't happen. We don't discuss kickers often, but he deserves a shout out.

Now let's move to the negatives.....

Offensive line has been the biggest dissapointment to date. Each of these guys have been starting since freshman and are now juniors and seniors but they aren't creating holes to run thru. The pass blocking was not good this weekend and I think is the main reason we were handed loss #2.

Washaun Ealey has really disappointed me and I'm ready for Caleb King to be back healthy and running the ball. But more than just running the ball, we need his pass protection. Ealey failed miserably blocking and that is the reason he'll always be the #2 back unless he learns how to block. Another thing about Ealey that rubs me the wrong way is that he is always walking around. Coming out of the tunnel before the game, and after halftime, walking onto the field after change of possession. Get a hint Ealey, watch highlights of Knowshon and learn how he won fans over. Let's just hope as UGA fans that Isaaih Crowell decides to be a Dawg.

And the biggest negative of them all is none other than Coach Mike Bobo. Let me preface this with, I hate to be a person who calls out coaches. I don't like to do it. I understand a play is going to work sometimes and not work sometimes, but this guy just doesn't get the clue. I GUARANTEE, I could have easily called a play on the final 3rd and 4 that would have either a)got the first down, or b)went for six points. No doubt in my mind. All he had to do is remember what happened on 4th and 4 earlier in the game. He tried to throw a 5 yard out to the TE and the corner jumped the piss out of it, which left a Georgia receiver down the sideline all alone. Call it again, give a slight pumpfake, and go celebrate in the endzone. I'm in the wrong damn profession obviously. How many times are we gonna line up in the I-Formation and either run between the tackles or run play action and get sacked? How long does it take to realize it is not working? Inexcusable. I have been like Joe and liked Bobo until Saturday. It was an eye opener to me and its time something changes. Saturday should be his last chance at calling plays in my humble opinion if we struggle again. Sorry this was so long, but my blood is still boiling just a little.

Other than that, I do think the team is improving. We played the #12 team in the country without AJ Green, Shaun Chapas, Brandon Smith, Caleb King, Chris Davis, Marcus Dowtin, and a few reserves as well. Things will get better in Athens. That is all.
