  • Russ Lande should be shot for not mentioning Reshad Jones (S Georgia #9) or Rennie Curran (LB Georgia #35). They're underclassmen, but rumor has them both leaving for the NFL.

    Jones is a long-limbed safety who's best in run support. He has the athleticism to be effective in coverage, but his instincts sometimes fail him.

    Curran is an undersized linebacker (5'11", 225 lbs.) with very good instincts and special short area quickness. He'll be a good weakside linebacker in a 4-3.

  • Good additional info Alo.

    I wish this game was on later though (kick-off at 5pm EST), getting home and wrestling the TV away from the kids and Hannah Montana might be difficult.

    Maybe I'll get to catch the second half.

  • Alo,

    It is so tough to scout Safeties and Cornerbacks for that matter, by watching them on TV.

    I believe I own Browns season tickets just to see the CB/Wr match-ups, or I look to see the safeties position at the snap and see how much ground the cover instinctively.

    With that said, I'l try my best to key in on the Georgia safeties (Evans & Jones), Georgia's CB Prince Miller and A&M's CB Jordon Pugh. I just gott race home to miss the first 15-mins or so.

    Is there a starter on Georgia Defense that ain't a prospect?

  • Three more to watch tonight:

    GEORGIA PLAYERS:

    #42 Justin Houston, DE, 4Jr Good athlete with great upside. Fires off the snap, fast off the edge and effective making plays from the backside. Offers growth potential and should only get better as he physically matures. Must keep his focus on the field and make football a priority.

    #50 Darryl Gamble, OLB, 3Jr

    Good athlete who covers a large amount of area on the field, making plays sideline-to-sideline. Effective in pursuit and also in coverage. Underrated and a real good prospect.

    #23 Prince Miller, CB, 4Sr

    Solid corner who could make a move up draft boards. Fundamentally sound and possesses good ball skills.

    Just last-second cramming for the game.

    Seems like a good time to let them know that if the Stan Man doesn't get to watch his football game, Santa just might have to issue a toy recall.

    Lots of talent on that D, but they massively underperformed as a unit this year (ranked 70th in the nation in points/game).

    I guess that's why they fired their defensive coordinator.

    I agree...they have some good players who for whatever reason couldn't put it together, though they did tonight against a non SEC opponent.

    I like the Dawgs...right behind the Gators and the Tide.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

    I'm reporting that a scout from the Browns & Cowboys attended tonight's Independence Bowl between Texas A&M and Georgia.

    via here.

  • I would hope we have a scout at these games. Georgia, and to a lesser degree A&M are NFL player producers.

    It's a rare year when Georgia doesn't produce at least 2-3 good NFL players.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

  • Reshad Jones had a pick and a big hit in yesterday's game, but he also dropped two would be picks and showed zero hustle on a TD run he could have stopped. Overall, I thought it was a disappointing day for the Georgia safety.

    Jones reminds me of Kerry Rhodes: he's got the tools to be a very good player, but I'm not sure he cares enough to be a consistently effective player. He's expected to leave early for the NFL, but I'd probably be too scared to take him in the 2nd round: he's a boom or bust type.

    It seemed like the Bulldog secondary dropped at least a half dozen.

    The bowl game was over-shadowed by an excellent Monday Night Football game. Hope all had a chance to stay up for that showcase game.
