Simplification of the defense, in two bites.
- Leonard Floyd, on playing some defensive end: “It’s a harder role, because I’m in the trenches more and in a three-point stance more than I was last year,” Floyd told reporters following Thursday’s two-hour practice. “Yet I don’t have to think as much. All I have to think about is rushing the quarterback.”
- Jeremy Pruitt, on the Star position:
“We’re gonna play with DBs at that spot,” Pruitt said. “We’re not gonna play with linebackers.”
Pruitt’s explanation was short and simple.
“To cover. We want to cover them,” he said. “It’s that simple. We want to be able to cover them.”
Mah goodness… I feel a tad flushed right now. //hands flutter in front of face//
Does anyone know where i can get a Fathead of Leonard Floyd at the new and improved 248 lbs. for my room?

Yes…send your tax deductible contribution to the UGA Coaches and Administrators Trust Fund, a pension for oppressed employees capped at the new $1 million limit for annual compensation (excluding certain benefits that are ordinary and necessary to the course of their educational mission). Mr. Floyd will sign it too, but only after completing his 60 hours of mandated work each week.

Defensive backs covering receivers on inside crossing patterns instead of ILB’s? For me? I do declare Mr. Pruitt! You are my hero!

“All I have to think about is rushing the quarterback.”
There’s an old story QB Jim Hart told about opposing DE Jack Youngblood. ‘Youngblood would line up and start yelling in a high pitched voice: Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, I’m comin to get ya Jimmy”.’
Go get em Leonard.
