SacFalcFan Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 First I have to say I am sick of creating threads about our injuries. We have Branden Smith is doubtful due to getting a concussion in practice. Second Bean Anderson is doubtful due to reaggravating his turf toe.Alec Ogletree was responsible for that tough hit on Branden Smith.

Haha Ok no seriously earlier in the week when I read about the more physical pratices I was excited. Maybe some hard hittting spirited practices is what this team need to get in the right mindset. This is an unfortunate circumstance of those physical practices. I'm still excited and want to see them amped up on saturday. Hopefully smith can play. Cause we could use him against mallet.

Gritzblitz 2.0 Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 It's a double edged sword really. Richt decided to go on the light side in pre-season practice. No two-a-days, not much hitting. Sure everyone was healthy, but apparently not ready to tackle. Now they step up the intensity of practices and players get hurt. It's really tough to have it both ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Pickle1 Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 No, there's an answer. If Branden Smith is hurt, we can win. If we can't tackle or be physical, WE WILL LOSE. The second option is the only viable one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjamez Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 At least someone on our defense was knocking the **** out an offensive player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing thud helps to avoid injuries and helps you work on fundamentals. You have to wrap up doing thuds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kicker_jesus Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 what happen to that boykin kid from last year. didnt he return some to the houseBoykin handles kick-off returns for us. I think we will see Carlton Thomas back there, and probably Logan Gray if it is inside the 20 yard line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing thud helps to avoid injuries and helps you work on fundamentals. You have to wrap up doing thuds.You're definitely right. From a cerebral standpoint, more daily practices actually allow more time for the knowledge of the system to sink in and it also allows for more study time outside of practice. Shorter, more frequent increments of study are always better than cramming, which is effectively what two-a-days do. On the topic of physicality...Correct me if I'm wrong, but Georgia as a team still does not have physically intense practices (at least up until the Sout Carolina game). With that in mind, wouldn't the lack of practice with full speed tackling hurt Georgia far more than no two-a-days? So long as the practice is physical, it shouldn't matter whether they do practice once or twice a day. Plus, wouldn't two-a-day practices make the team more prone to injuries as there is little rest in between? I'm asking because its been years since I played football (I chose rugby over football in high school). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
