Spring Practice Profiles: In Search of Sgt. Hulka

"An army without leaders is like a foot without a big toe.
And Sergeant Hulka isn't always gonna be there to be that big toe for us.
I think that we owe a big round of applause to our newest,
bestest buddy, and big toe... Sergeant Hulka." -- Bill Murray
Quick recaps on articles of note over the past few days:

-- Wilson breaks leg. King tweaks knee - DawgPost.com

Pre-Spring, my biggest areas of concern were the lack of proven leaders along the offensive line, unproven WRs along side Mo Mass and speed rushers at defensive end. The headlines from the past two days do little to make me less nervous about the first two issues.

Tony Wilson is a devastating blocker at WR, and he should be back for the season opener. Both of those are good things, but he could really use some off season practice sessions with Stafford to improve his catching skills. Here's hoping he gets well soon.

Josh Kendall's article on DawgPost.com about the need for a leader to step up along the OL doesn't shock me. They've got time to find their "big toe" (as Billy Murray would say), but someone needs to step up sooner rather than later...especially with Clint Boling out for Spring with Mono.

And not player or team news, but David Ching of the Columbus-Ledger has been promoted to full-time coverage of the Georgia Bulldogs. David will be moving to Athens to cover all UGA sports. As an avid reader of his work, I'm thrilled to get more quality coverage of our Dawgs. He was previously only covering football for the paper.
