“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

Yeah, in order to retain my sanity I refuse to read anything about the O-line during the off season. I ain’t believing anything but my eyeballs when I see them play.

This is what happens when they sign 3 star linemen.

The biggest issue I have with all that was said is that Bobo thinks Houston can play tackle. He looked horrible pretty much every time he took snaps at RT. As I said before, the issue with oline is that we keep playing Gs at tackle.

Look at the bright side – at least Houston proved that he didn’t gain a competitive advantage from the steroid injection. 😉

Houston is a guard. At that position he would do well. Putting him at tackle is setting him up for failure. We need a dominating left tackle and right now there isn’t one on the team plus I don’t detect any urgency to get this problem fixed.

Also, I’m sure the guys that cover the program already have the articles written about how the upcoming offseason workouts were the best the team has ever had, with the obligatory Dave Van Halanger quote about how this is going to be a special team.
And, of course, when all those articles come out, I’ll pour myself a nice tall glass of Kool-Aid and convince myself that this year they really mean it. 🙂

Keep recruiting soft, private school guys that don’t play against anyone in high school on the OL and keep getting their ass kicked against real competition. Wash, rinse, repeat. It is what it is and we are what we are.

This is just totally unacceptable. I have full confidence that the offensive line will continue to be a weakness for this team and we are doing nothing to correct that in the offseason. Inexcusable and stupid.

If you have a spare moment, for contrast on these questions of “culture” and “quality control,” read this article on Standford’s Strength and Conditioning program started by Shannon Turley, whom Harbaugh brought in.

Sorry if this has been posted here before, but it is borderline revelatory on the questions of injuries (see us), motivation, and culture.
At the end of it, I started imagining a new coach at a major Division One Football Power in the Greatest Conference in the land, announcing he was bringing in his former Video Coordinator to run S & C.

But this is definitely NOT Mark Richt’s fault!

Of course not, why would he be responsible for hiring coaches that can recruit and develop players at there positions.
Remember a few years ago the special ESPN did on the nutrition program Jimbo put in place at FSU? Think we’re doing anything that progressive? Always reactionary, never ahead of the curve.
LikeLike
yeah. i am sure that UGA is progressive in some things. Our video system is world class and started a new video film study gold rush. We have one of the great concussion people in the world on staff. Pretty sure the new S&C guys did the whole nutrition program overhaul.
But please go on being upset.

Good call on the video and iPad playbooks, forgot about that, my bad. But I do not believe for a second out S&C and nutrition is on par with Alabama, LSU, Auburn, FSU, etc.

Lord knows I am no expert on nutrition, but I would imagine we offer a very comparable training table to our players as the rest of the conference does.

Until Mark Richt radically changes his entire philosophy of OL play, recruitment, and development, as someone typed above- what you’ve seen is what you’ll continue to get.

^^This. The concept that all O-linemen are interchangeable is total BS. That’s like saying a shooting guard and a point guard are the same thing in basketball. They ain’t. How well would Georgia do if UGA played Gurley at QB and Mason at RB? A guard is a guard and a tackle is a tackle.

Now this is the stuff that I get excited about! I get Justified tonight and now you tell me that Bobo sends out sunshine and lollipops regarding next seasons O-line! Talk about a stronger, more aggressive O-line…well, that’s the gift that keeps on giving year round Clark! What’s next?. The secondary really has a grasp of the complete play book?

For the first time in probably ten years I am very pessimistic about where this is headed. We will have a starting QB who for three years complained about playing time but never transferred –not because he is so loyal to the program– but because when it came down to it and feelers were put out, no one but Sun belt and FCS teams wanted him..not sure the kids in the pipeline are the future either..on the O Line, our recruiting strategy seems to be that if the kid comes from a Georgia family and will commit on the spot — we’ll take him — see the 6’5 261 lb freshman referenced in the article…watching Auburn has both depressed me and opened my eyes about what good or great coaching can do for a team…I’m not sure we have it

In CMR’s defense let me respectfully point out that UGA had Auburn beaten so if UGA is so bad and Auburn is so good how did that happen?. If you go down the list position by position Georgia had better players across the board except for the O-line and a few defensive players. Auburn won because of a fluke. That said, if the HC wouldn’t put up with stat-padding then Georgia would have won the game, too. Plus if you look at the 2 coaching staffs Auburn clearly has a better DC. So I guess this is not much of a defense.
