Too many changes have to occur and if they’re done right I could see us making a run at the Coastal. Our OL should be/has to be better than this years bloated sloth. What concerns me is the DL, if we are having to replace JJ on top of obviously G9, and am worried about our defensive depth overall; DL, LB’s (depending on who if any leaves early), and new starters at CB and Safety. We should be much improved by starting Perry the entire year unless Williams or Weldon can unseat him. RB wise we should be able to lean heavily on whoever is back there toting the rock, both young TE’s will be improved, and lastly the WR corps should be a overall strength. What I teeter back and forth on when attempting assess next year’s record are the changes that Richt must make at critical staff positions. If he doesn’t, the perceived strength of the team which should be the offense next year becomes a wash. Given all the pieces being replaced on the defensive side means we’ll finish at best 9-4 or worse probably 7-5 again (provided we beat Pitt @home Saturday). If he swallows his ego and pride and makes the requisite changes everyone knows he needs to do, the offense can carry the team until the defense gets their legs under them mid to late 2019. If that becomes the case, I can see us hitting 10-2 or even 11-1 as the offense should be able to put up @35ppg. We aren’t giving up that much defensively.
