Ratio of UGA fans to Falcons fans outside of Atlanta is at least 20:1. Even in the city UGA dominates. Hell, there are probably more Bama fans here than Falcons. Old school SEC states are a tough sell for pro football.

David Moore still has decent wheels, rarely drops a pass and knows how to get open for 6 in the red zone. He and Bryce have a good working chemistry. He may surprise some when he makes the final 53.

I’m hyped, just as I always am for game 1. my wife will probably tell me to turn it down a few times. Since it’s J-ville I’ll have my John Fox bobble head beside me for good juju along with my signed Proehl picture of the catch. Will good stuff transpire? Maybe. Hopefully. If it doesn’t, I’ll have a couple fishing rods in my vehicle and I’ll find a pond somewhere come 4:15. Guarded optimism.

Ref sweating like he’s getting wheeled to the cardiac cath lab.

I have no words

I was about to say the exact same thing

Coker could step in at QB right now and be better than Plummer could ever hope to be.

I recall several times where he would get TAGGED. He had numerous welcome to the NFL moments. factor? Certainly plausible.

Dude would come down with some fantastic snags, even in crunch time so the ability is there. I hope he is plugged in with a sports psychologist. He could be a PROBLEM if/when he develops more confidence.

Cam has always been a difficult cat to read, I don’t think anyone will argue this. His clarification was equally vague. What he meant is definitely up for interpretation.

Does this staff sideline any player if there is ANY sign of a possible injury? I get Coker being sick. Can’t help that one, but WTF is it with this team? It feels like half the starting lineup has barely had any real practice.

Teams take on the personality of the head coach. Nuf said. I like Canales and the offense I feel is trending up, but I miss the hell out of what Wills brought.

1000%

I think this team does in fact obtain talented players but coaching and conditioning are abysmal. Closed training camp with VERY few, organization approved, messages… and then we get this? Kind of makes you question things. The team looks lost, soft and unfocused. More of the same except… Wilks short tenure. How the team looked completely changed overnight. Steve saved Darnold’s career for God’s sake. I’m not saying Wilks was the answer long term as that has already been argued 100 times… but it’s hard to not put the ‘if onlys’ together. Im saying coaching matters. Attitude matters. Evero 1000% is not it. Offense will right the ship fairly quickly in to the season, but the defense will severely underperform. Defensive depth is a really big problem.

Yup

I don’t argue his skill set and think he will be gold for us, but unless he goes gangbusters with > 1000 yards and 8+ TDs, he won’t get the national attention nor the required votes. Where he ends up on the depth chart is still up for debate and entirely our collective opinions at this stage. Tet is WR1. That much is known until proven otherwise. Where it goes from there is purely opinion until the live bullets start flying.

I’m pulling for Renfro like crazy but for him to be comeback player as a WR3 (at least the way it looks now) … but he’ll have to get the votes and this is the big challenge. He could be the obvious pick but would get snubbed for a bigger name.

In Mario Kart terms, Coker has the red shell in his possession. I’ve been saying and saying it, Dan and Canales are committed to winning, whomever gives the team the best chance to do so. Coker will be WR2 by game 5 if not sooner. I 100% believe the Eagles game was THE event where Dan decided that XL could not be depended on to make ‘that catch’ unless something drastic changed in his game. 3!! Drops on the final drive. 3. I don’t hate the guy. I do like him, but the floor on a guy who can’t come down with the ball reliably is not worth it. I would not be surprised if he becomes trade bait at some point.

I was about to say this same thing. His seat should be hotter than the surface of the sun.

The sour towards BY that some continue to show is so far beyond being guarded at this point. It’s tiring. It’s consuming, and it’s pretty obvious that there will be nothing that he can objectively do to win them over. It’s just miserable. Is he that dude? I don’t know, maybe or maybe not. but whatever.

Even Tyson, Manning, Favre, and MJ became shells of their former days after Father Time took his chunk of flesh. Only a minuscule go out like the Goat. What were once ‘pretty good’ players fall off a cliff when it hits.

I’ve said it all offseason and will continue to say it, Coker sees himself behind Tet on the depth chart. Hell, he probably believes enough in himself that he sees himself as WR1. Is there any doubt that he gets more and more play time as the season goes on? Would anyone be surprised if next game he outshines XL again? I really want to see him throw more passes. I bet he could beat Andy out for backup qb. Again, I like XL the guy and I liked the fire, but what he did last night can be the difference in close games. He’s still trying to exercise demons from a few unforgivable drops he had last season, and last night did him no favors. Coker smells blood in the water and is now going to push even harder to show that he is that dude.

Sideshow Sanders.

From what I think I see, Dan has shown patience in finding the RIGHT guy at the RIGHT price. Even beyond his playing days here, he’s been in football long enough to see what happens to a team when you overpay for an overhyped ‘talent’. He understands locker room chemistry and politics. A team is a fraternity. They all have their own vibe. Just because a guy may have measurables doesn’t mean he is a fit (Johnson). This previous draft class and recent free agents appear to be cut from similar cloth. If I may be so bold, Dan seems to have an eye for the long game.

The world doesn’t understand us, which is why they fear us.
