Post-Spring Previews: Georgia
Garnet And Black Attack —
... UGA and Carolina each return one of the nation's best linebackers in Rennie Curran and Eric Norwood. UGA, however, also returns Daryl Gamble, another quality player, whereas Carolina will still be in the process of breaking in Rodney Paulk and Shaq Wilson as Norwood's partners in crime. UGA gets a slight advantage here.
Verdict: Slight advantage Georgia

... comes back healthy he'll contribute immediately, and Nick Williams may crosstrain at will linebacker and safety, because the coaches think he's athletic enough and has a good enough grasp of things to do that. Also lots of positive comments about Reshad Jones, especially his leadership of the defense. As long as his tackling improves I'll be satisfied. ...

... before, if they are, I think Georgia could be better this year than they were last year despite the lost skill players. Their offensive line was supposed to be the best in the conference until injuries took their toll last year, and now those players are back.
With Jeff Owens and Geno Atkins holding down the middle of the field, and arguably the best linebacker in the conference sitting behind them in Rennie Curran and a talented safety back there as well in Reshad Jones, the Georgia Bulldog defense should be pretty scary. ...

Previewing South Carolina at Georgia: Georgia's Defense
Garnet And Black Attack —
... Georgia's strengths on defense are numerous. First of all, although they gave up a relatively high amount of rushing yards against OSU, the 'Dawgs should be strong against the run this year with Geno Atkins, Jeff Owens, and Kade Weston forming a talented interior-line rotation. Also helping out on the run will be star inside linebacker Rennie Curran, who led the SEC in tackles a year ago. The 'Dawgs secondary is led by Prince Miller and Reshad Jones and did a good job slowing down a usually prolific OSU passing attack ...

... I was able to enjoy every minute of Thursday night’s Georgia Tech-Miami tilt. On Friday night, I watched the Boise State-Fresno State game while wishing Reshad Jones had been able to have that WAC officiating crew in Stillwater. I saw almost all of the Boston College-Clemson game (lightning delays and all), all of the Georgia-Arkansas game, and parts of the Florida-Tennessee, Michigan State-Notre Dame, and Auburn-West Virginia games. ...

The result is receivers getting pounded over the middle by linebackers and safeties. And when your strong safety Reshad Jones can do this - ...

So does Montario Hardesty, for giving every defense a reason to be vulnerable to play action, and for continuing to be the best running back in the SEC.
Having said all of that...Georgia's defense? Yikes.
It's the biggest difference between on-paper and on-field I can remember in a long time. You looked at the names in August - Prince Miller, Rennie Curran, Geno Atkins, Jeff Owens, Reshad Jones - and figured they'd carry the slack for Joe Cox and ...

... earlier drop of what ought to have been a touchdown pass by snagging a 47-yard reception on the first snap of the fourth stanza. One play later, Caleb King was in the end zone and the hometown heroes had retaken the lead. The Georgia edge lasted only as long as it took Demond Washington to take a pretty decent kickoff at the one yard line and weave 99 yards downfield for the tying touchdown.
