As expected, things are tight-lipped and quiet on the news front from Georgia’s practices. You have to kind of take what you can from “what people are hearing” and maybe reading between the lines of video and images from social media.
Here’s Marc Weiszer with a piece on potential depth chart in the second week of camp:
The rotation and starters across the offensive line intrigues me. Here’s Kirby with more:
Gaston’s name gets mentioned in another post, with some brief details on who “stood out” at the scrimmage…though based on the language, it’s more “word of mouth” intel than actual observed intel.
Here’s another, that’s connected to another story with a recap of the scrimmage.
If there’s one thing I’ve noticed during this fall camp, Kirby has preached the importance of special teams and mentions them often, even in the above article regarding the tight end group needing more positive plays than negative and needing them to step up on special teams.
“I’m hoping they continue to get better and have more positives than negatives. And I hope that they contribute on special teams because we need those guys to be able to help us in special teams,” Smart said. “At the end of the day, you get judged at tight end not on a play-action pass where you’re wide open. You didn’t do anything. Like, what did you do? You get judged on, can you break tackles? I don’t know that we had any tight ends break any tackles.
I’m guessing that punt kickoff return for a touchdown in the Sugar Bowl is still haunting Smart. It’s the little things and attention to detail that can make or break you, and sounds like Kirby’s addressing the ills and shortfalls from 2024.
I would think at this point we aren’t where we need to be but tracking to be where we need to be by game 1.
I’ve heard we’re setting new records in the weight room, that Gunner is really a gym rat, and that the team has decided that THIS year will be the year.
Did I miss any?
From your keyboard to reality.
That the team has never been as connected as this one.
You get a bunch of young players together,trying to make a name for themselves. You got a team that will be hell on wheels . Glad we got 2warm up games before Knoxville.
The scrimmage in Knoxville will be a good warm up to ensure that we are prepared for the off week.
*kickoff return for TD in Sugar Bowl, but point taken.
PTSD, tried to forget.
damn paywalls
These youngin’s are here. And they’re here to show what they can do.

I saw Herschel run all but one game at home (Auburn) 1980 when my dad was wearing that big styrofoam headset listening to Munson yelling down at me that he had just broken Tony Dorsett’s freshman rushing record against Tech. I was 8. Toss sweep to Herschel and he was gone. Waited 41 more years. New GA t shirt arriving tomorrow. New season. Lot of question marks. I’m just glad Derek isn’t coaching 😂
