Meh, but what about their special teams? I mean, there’s not one long snapper listed there.

Note: William Mote was our long snapper and he played for the Birmingham Stallions, snapping to Jack Podlesny who signed with Minnesota.

We may never see anything like it again for a while folks. I mean, unless they all come back for a fifth year of eligibility or something in the ACC. Wake Forest would be hella good, wouldn’t they?

If you had to lay money on which 2025 Dawg would score the first touchdown for the Falcons, my guess is that Cash Jones would’ve been the last option on your mind. Turns out, we were all wrong, and he did it in the most familiar of ways.

Well, well, well. Turns out the reason Bobo is such a man of mystery is because he’s moonlighting in Flowery Branch as an NFL OC.

And he wasn’t tackled by a 300 pound defensive lineman, to boot. Maybe it’s something about the scheme, or maybe it’s something about tendencies.

I’m not surprised that Zach Branch is doing well with the Falcons. Per this report, he’s one of the leading receivers through Atlanta’s fall camp.

What I didn’t know was this:

No NFL team has more Georgia Bulldogs than the Falcons, who have six Georgia players. Atlanta will miss Georgia linebacker Jalon Walker this season. Walker suffered a torn ACL in training camp and will miss the entire 2026 season.

No, not the Walker injury…Atlanta has the most Georgia Bulldogs? Who knew?

Of other interesting news is that Cash Jones is tied with Bijan Robinson for catches in the fall, as well.

I heard he’s a good third down back when you need to make up a lot yards on a check down. Or something like that.

From the mouth of the enemy comes high praise for the Gerogia professional development machine:

Apparently, it’s more than just hype, as Branch has been caught in a few stand out highlights from Falcons training camp. And, no, it’s not just a bunch of screen passes, either.

In other news, CJ Allen will be wearing the green dot captain’s helmet for the Colts this season, and Stetson Bennett is taking QB1 reps in LA (part of Stafford’s preseason resting) and the word is there’s “no competition” between Bennett and Alabama’s one and done sensation Ty Simpson, who is seeing limited reps in practices.

The 2022 defense just signed enough money in NFL contracts to buy their own island somewhere, and even Arian Smith is still on the Jets roster.

Happy to hear this for all the former Bulldogs out there…and, also, noting that Branch is being described as an excellent route runner and is smoking guys in the secondary on the deep ball.

I know what you’re thinking, and I’m thinking it, too…dammit.

Man, talk about a group that’s getting paid. Jalen Carter just inked the biggest deal for a d-lineman in league history.

If I have this right, Walker just signed for another 4 years and over $100 million with the Jaguars, and Davis, Wyatt, Dean, and Walker all just signed three year extensions for nice sums of money.

Maybe there’s something to Kirby’s formula for guys being role players during their early years just to blossom into NFL millionaires.

Just a reminder to Bear Alexander that he had two sacks as a role player in 2022, and has tallied only 2.5 since in three years with two other teams…

C’est la vie….

No, I don’t think he’ll have a career like Julio, but Cash Jones is getting a chance to show his skills in Atlanta, at another position.

I’m sure it’s nice to have some former teammates on the squad to help transition to the league, as well as a new position.

Go Dawgs!
