Linebacker/Defensive Depth

[Henney]

3 true frosh
2 3rd yr sophomores
1 true sophomore
1 injured upper classmen
2 upper classmen dismissed

I don't think i want to see Carter move down either. So we either have no more injuries and the 6-7 we have are able to play the entire season or we play walk ons or we move players around. Certainly not the ideal place or spot to be in.

re: Jamal Carter

Wouldn't be a bad decision. NFL teams are putting his style of play as a safety into a linebacker role pretty often now. As either an in-the-box safety or as a true linebacker. Not ideal, but there are worse moves to fill the void. It would just depend on how well he's able to acclimate himself to the spot.

This is true.. Similar to Ray Ray Armstrong - who is now exclusively playing linebacker in the league.

It would be nice if we could afford to move Harris to LB but we're too thin at DL.

There's now 28 available scholarship players on defense against FAU. Richt needs to think about moving some people around.

Moves to make if I was Richt:

Batten to LB
Jahair Jones to DT

It's amazing that someone with almost 10,000 posts doesn't know that Batten is still injured and likely won't play at all this year

FB Gage Batten is wearing a defensive jersey, as is FBs Cory Giordano and Cesar Castillo. All (and LB DJ Washington) warming up w/ RB/FBs.
