I'm almost certain it's going to roll right into (fall) camp as far as trying to narrow it down a little bit.
We're just trying to get better down there, ... We just need to get more (touchdowns). We're not going to get a touchdown every time, but we need to get a higher percentage of them.
The only competition that (Stafford) is doing right now is just trying to learn what to do. The other three guys, even four guys when you count (walk-on Nick) Dalton, have a lot better idea of what to do, even on the basics of calling the cadence. He's a talented passer. I think we all know that, and you can tell he's going full speed as far as trying to learn, but there's so much to learn in such a short amount of time.
Not really, for two reasons. Number one, we looked at him and knew he was a very talented guy. We knew he could throw well and was very intelligent. And number two, when you're working with a coach who can make you understand the game and what it is you're trying to accomplish like Coach Spurrier can, you expect the quarterbacks to play well.
A lot of this game will be trying to make adjustments as quickly as possible after we find out some of the goodies they've got ready for us.
I'm trying to decide whether to be happy or sad. We have to be better than this or we will struggle.
There are a couple key offensive tackles I would love to have at this point.
When D.J. first got hurt, it was sad. We didn't know how bad, he didn't know how bad it was. We were thinking his career at Georgia could be over right then and there. That would have been awful. We would have tried to sugarcoat it as best we could, but it would have been sad for him and for us.
We kept our poise. We stayed united. No finger pointing when bad things happened.
We thought by now T.J. would be practicing.
We're pulling him off of that duty right now.
We had a better dress rehearsal today, less mistakes (than Wednesday) ... I feel like we're prepared as good as we can be at this point.
This week will be tough on him. One of reasons you come to Georgia is to play in this game.
With Shockley, he becomes a weapon himself with his ability to run above and beyond the basics, ... You've got to be an accurate passer, you've got to be a good decision-maker, you've got to be able to handle the pressure of the job and you've got to be a leader. He is all those things, plus he has the bonus of being able to run. It's exciting for us.
