Saw this and thought y’all would be intrigued.
For a slow Saturday conversation, where are you concerned? Where are you confident?

Let all the Bulldog faithful rally behind the men who now wear the red and black with two words, two simple words which express the sentiments of the entire Bulldog Nation: Auburn Sucks.
Is Gaston hurt? No way he is not a starter on the OL. Also doubtful bobo is full go game 1.
Yeah I came here to ask where is Juan Gaston
Interesting how Jah Jackson progressed. He didn’t play high school football; at 6′ 10″ and 300 pounds he was a basketball player. He was in the Overtime Elite high school program. After his senior year UGA offered strictly on his size, athletic ability and potential. He arrived as a development project and played just on PAT and FG teams. He got a good bit of scrimmage time last season and even started a game when the first and second team offensive lines were hit with injuries.
The fact that he is now RT1 is a credit to his dedication and a credit to our coaches.
He is now 6’10” and 350 and long arms with a basketball player’s agility (Overtime Elite doesn’t take stiffs.) Think Broderick Jones with greater height and weight.
Dear 8 lb, 6oz sweet lil baby Jesus, please tell me that we’re SO talented and SO deep on the OL that we can afford to have Gaston as 6th man in the rotation.
Gaston over Jackson. There’s no way Gaston isn’t on the field for the first offensive snap unless he’s hurt.
I trust the coaches to make that call. My post about Jackson was to acknowledge how good UGA is in developing players. Gaston is another example but the difference in Gaston was years ahead of Jackson in learning the Oline before he got to Georgia. If Gaston is the starter I will be as happy as I can be.
I was more commenting on the idea that X account had of not having Gaston on the starting 5. He’s going to be the starter at either RT or LG.
Airhead question: We have 12 starters on O?
It’s to show the various formation groupings especially 11 vs 12 personnel.
I’ll say it…I’m concerned about the playmakers on O. Defense looks real solid as does the OL with Luckie. Can Bobo work with the other skill players to have them excel? I see a lot of good but not proven as great yet. Humphries needs to get receptions downfield and we need some thunder to go with Frazier’s lightning. DCs should know by now how to contain Gunner…I hope CMB has something other than the WR screen to mix it up.
Everyone forgets Chauncey Bowens was playing injured most of the last third of the year.
And the TEs listed are blockers. The pass catchers will play a LOT.
Starting defense looks elite!
With Branch gone I don’t believe we will see the screens. Gunner is such an anomaly as far as how the fans react to him. He is both loved in ways no quarterback in recent memory has been and also doubted in really odd ways ie people still saying Hes not a very good runner. It is possibly the weirdest thing I have seen this fan base do and we have a weird ass fan base.
1) Gaston will start. Whether that’s at guard and Calhoun is the 3rd guard, or at RT and Jackson is the 3rd tackle, he’s one of the best 5.
2) I have a hard time believing that Talyn Taylor won’t be starting. Love Humphreys and maybe Canion gets past him, but doubt he gets past Taylor.
3) Hope the end of last year helps McLeod get the confidence to be something at Nose, but getting Hall back is really key.
4) So stoked to see that secondary in action. Loved the pickup of Barnes. Think they’ll be a really good unit.
I don’t see a kicker or punter on there
Gotta keep Gaston & Glover next to each other.
