...on the Pro Football Weekly All-American team, which is based on NFL skills and projections of college players. Georgia had the most, by a long shot. The list included WR AJ Green, OL Cling Boling, OL Cordy Glenn, LB Justin Houston, and P Drew Butler.
Though some people, including the Senator, don't think this type of All-American team says very much about Georgia's record or season, you have to wonder what this says about Georgia's knack of underachieving the past few seasons given the talent on the field. We all expected much better than 6-6, despite having a new defensive scheme and a young QB. At least we appear to be getting and developing some high-end talent, we've just gotta get better at using it to win ballgames.
Too me, this is more of an indictment on our O-Line coach Searls. Apparently this guy is supposed to be the best coach in the world, with numerous colleges trying to steal him from UGA. But he has 2 guys that are supposed to be big time NFL prospects that are very underachieving. What is the deal?
ReplyDeleteThe rest of it doesn't really do anything for me. We all knew AJ was great. He missed 4 games, we lost 3 of them. Would have been nice to have him for those games. Prob wouldn't be a 6-6 team if AJ plays all 12 games.
Houston is a stud and is a prototypical NFL player. It is known and he did a great job, however, he is a niche player. He rushes the passer and that is about it. That came in handy about 5-10 plays a game.
Butler is a punter. So who really cares that he is on this list?
