Day 1 Headlines and Stories

Day 1 practice reports seem to fall into three categories. The stories either center on expectations, off field shenanigans or intriguing freshmen. My favorite articles this time of year are the ones about expectations. Here are a sample of the ones that I enjoyed best:Off Season Turmoil Articles:On the freshman front, all eyes were on AJ Green today. The general consensus seems to be that he looked nervous, needs to work on his route running and he tweaked his groin a bit.I didn't link to everything. Obviously. I just sort of dropped some headlines you might have missed if you only hit the AJC and ABH.

The stories I'd like to hear more about....
  • Matt Stafford's comments to the team on Sunday. The AJC says he went ballistic, but they gave no details on it. I'd love to hear more on that.

  • Carlton Thomas update - Dean Legge says he's extremely impressive.

  • AJ Harmon - What's up with the big fella? He's starting out at DT. What are the odds he stays there?

  • Bean Anderson - Is he stepping up? He reminds me of Alex Jackson or Ken Shackleford (prior to his SR year). Tons of ability, but is he motivated?
By the way, I'm pretty sure Dean Legge of DawgPost.com said that there were about 100 reporters in attendance for the opening of practice today.

Great stuff as always PWD, especially the article from the guy in AZ. Wow - is that guy arrogant. Let's hope we can do our job and shut him up soon.

Go Dawgs!!

Thanks for all the links. I'd like to hear how Israel Troupe is coming along. I know we got about a dozen receivers but there sure was a lot of hype surrounding his recruitment and am curious as to how he is panning out.

Does the saying, "There's no such thing as bad publicity" only apply to movie stars? cause I'm sure Georgia Fans can do without a 45 second blurb on ESPN with 5 seconds about being number #1 preseason, 10 seconds about the tough schedule and 30 seconds about arrests. (As I was typing this ESPN just started about 5 players suspended and are now talking with Chip Towers from the AJC) He says the troubles are overshadowing the #1 ranking.

PWD- How's that for live update?

Anyway... Go DAWGS!!!

That was actually on ESPN First Take. And to note, Chip Towers quickly moved from the troubles and had good praise for AJ Green (really impressive, crack the line-up) and mentions of Moreno and Stafford, of course.
