Words out of Spring Camp about 1/2 through

Gideon Davis has gotten all of the attention this spring, Dabo singing his praises, "Complete Back", he's absolutely ripped, runs in 4.4 range, great kick returner, can run through tackles and catch out of the backfield. He should make an immediate impact with the hole we have on the depth chart here.
Peter Woods has lost some weight, looked slow and out of shape last year, but looks chiseled and more atheletic at camp.
Tom Allen brings the same fire that Venables did, he is intense, the defense should take a major step forward this year. He is the polar opposite of Goodwin as he is the most vocal coach on that side of the ball, and back to working fundamentals, especially tackling which was awful with the front 7 last year. It cost us the Texas game for sure.
I have not heard anything about Will Heldt yet, he was probably our biggest need. I felt like we had the depth at tackle last year to leave Woods at SDE, but that is now how things played out. I have not heard anything about that position, but obviously, the biggest hole on defense going into the season. We are stacked again on the Interior, Stephiylan Green's name is being called out some, and with Capehart returning, this should be the strength of the defense, hopefully with better tackling behind the line of scrimmage.

And I hope Gideon Davidson can also make an impact.

I haven’t heard anything from coaches, but I’ve seen a couple OL make comments about how Heldt is a tough assignment

Agreed, there is no excuse for poor tackling.

in November when we won the gamer against the gamecocks, but still lost to Texas in the national title game. We are also in the second round of the tournament, in my parellel reality. You may want to look inside the Box to see if the cat is still alive,

Blah blah blah…Dabo always raves about the team this time of year. We will know if we have a team when we play LSU….if Dabo losses 4 straight to the SEC, he should be ashamed to cash his 11.5M check🤷♂️

It will be good to see some depth at LB develop if needed.... and hopefully that 5 star out of Grayson wants to be next to Sammy next year to solidify that position group.

I will say I was the first to criticize the friends and family hires Dabo made, but hiring the Grayson HC back in the mid-2010s has been great for a recruiting pipeline in GA. Was it Mickey Conn?? When it happened, I thought we only did it to get the DE Nkumbe (misspelled), who ended up going to Ole Miss at the last second, but in that class, didn't we get Gallman and the QB who led us to beat Cuse when TL got knocked unconscious?

While we def were weaker at wr and the line up until last year obviously … Iv been saying the biggest with this offense has been the big play ability from the RBs… go watch the highlights of ETN (and I get it those don’t come around every 3 years ) and little check downs and plays that looked like they were nothing he could turn into a 60 yard td… we have missed that badly. And like I said he’s different but there are a ton that bring that same threat and we just haven’t had that recently so I hope he can be that guy.

Woods didn't look slow and out of shape...HE WAS SLOW AND OUT OF SHAPE.

IMHO.I told the great CRB that my litmus test for the defense this fall would be weigh in day. If PW was about 315 or less.....I will feel pretty good about our prospects....

I wonder if he got a weight incentive clause in his NIL/RevShare contracts...

Yeah, I really hope they'll keep him at tackle instead of end this year

What I've heard (firsthand) about Heldt is that he's going to create a lot of problems for offenses. He's got a very quick first step off the ball, uses his arms very well to create leverage to the QB and can absolutely set an edge when needed. We got a good one.

Davis sounds like a stud...hopefully he can catch on to the blocking schemes as well to more PT. We've definitely needed more speed back there.
