Hopefully it will turn into some actuall production on the field this season. Marlon has the tangibles to be great, and UGA sure could use him.

Crowell reportedly did well in yesterdays scrimmage at Sanford Stadium. I think he had 13 carries for 87 yards.

Samuel had very similar numbers but suffered a fumble.

I'm starting to think that our NT savior, "BIG" John Jenkins may not live up to the hype.

First had to leave practice early because of the heat, then I didn't hear much at all about him, now Garner's take on him certainly isn't reassuring...

Asked Friday evening how John Jenkins is fairing so far this preseason, UGA defensive line coach Rodney Garner sat and thought … and thought a little more.

His took exactly 10 seconds to answer.

“He’s a good kid,” said Garner, choosing his words carefully, “who has to continue to work and truly understand the difference in this level versus junior college. Just the intensity of practice, the competitive nature of practice, that’s the thing that makes the SEC such a great league. It is a very, very, very competitive league at this position. That’s what separates this league from other league. To be a D-lineman in this league, you’ve got to bring some to the table every day, every practice, every rep.”

huh

and this...

*** Geathers and Jenkins ...

Geathers is fine & will be back soon.

Jenkins suffered a "mild hamstring pull", but it's not serious.


Jenkins came from the same school as Mt. Cody, and I remember hearing the Bama coaches say the same about his attitude. They basically said he was a little soft.

Well, Bama got Cody going - maybe we can do the same with Jenkins.

At home in Dome

The Bulldogs bussed to Atlanta Friday in order to hold a closed practice at the Georgia Dome. The “dress rehearsal” practice even included the Bulldogs wearing their Nike Pro Combat uniforms, according to a tweet from quarterback Aaron Murray.

Head coach Mark Richt was extremely secretive about the practice but athletic director Greg McGarity was not sure why.

“Mark just asked me if they could do it and I said yes, of course,” McGarity said. “The Falcons are in there Thursday and Georgia State plays there Friday, so I think it was the only day we could get in there.”

Etc. . . .

Cornerback Branden Smith was spotted on campus Friday in a walking cast, or “boot.” UGA Sports Communications director Claude Felton said there would be no update provided Friday on Smith. . . . Georgia will work out again Saturday morning at 9:45 a.m. . . . Defensive coordinator Todd Grantham said he expects nose guard John Jenkins (hamstring) to return to practice Saturday
