Chris Durham replaces AJ GREEN, yea Chris Durham. Yea its a big deal. I know the want the power running game to work but this is a huge blow. Durham a SR with 2 career TDs

Brandon Smith, Rontavious Wooten, Marlon Brown, Orson Charles .. All guys that have a lot of talent and were all highly recruited .. They don't have to go out there and be AJ Green .. they just have to MOVE THE CHAINS on 3rd and 5 .. Georgia isn't going to air it out against us .. They'll power run, playaction, and keep it manageable for their QB.

If we stop their running game and MAKE them throw then the chances of USC winning go way up. Thats the point I'm making.

Georgia is a running football team .. They want to play defense, run the football, and solid special teams .. The fact that they have Caleb King and Washaun Ealey this game is huge for them .. Their receivers just have to move the chains which they are capable of doing.
And that's especially true this year with Murry's first exposure to a loud opponent.

I understand your point but losing Green takes away a huge weapon in play action and 1 on 1. Its a big loss for them

Even if they do win the appeal, he won't be playing this weekend.

This isn't that big of a blow like everyone is making it out to be .. Its Georgia and they have talent at WR.

I 100% disagree with this. Aside from AJ Green they have no legitimate threat. Who is this "talent at WR", Tavarris King? Marlon Brown? Combined they don't have the numbers AJ pulled. AJ Green is the best WR in the country and and all togethor play maker.

Do you remember when he blocked the fg last year against Arizona State late in the 4th quarter to keep the game tied? He is an absolute competitor as well as a sure top 10 draft pick. Huge news for the cocks!

Again. They don't have to do what AJ does. That is unfair for the UGA staff to ask one of them to go out there and put up AJ numbers. What they have to do is move the chains.

My point has been from the beginning that the key is stopping Georgia's running game .. King and Ealey plus that offensive line (which may be the best in the SEC) will make life a whole lot easier for Murray and those receivers.

He still has to be accounted for when on the field (ie the touchdown where he made our defense look they were running in slow motion last year)

Heath Cline said something on the radio that might makes sense about this jersey deal. Remember Darren Heitner(the agent/agent watchdog)? He said he suspects this jersey 'sale' is a cover up for AJ dealing with an agent. Cline made this reference after being asked why anybody would pay 1k for a Independence Bowl jersey. That sounds more plausible but I have to say, it is only speculation.

And not having one of the best WR's in the country will allow us to focus more on the running game. Losing AJ green made them one dimensional. It is a huge deal.

It would be nice, but doesn't bother me one single iota if we win without him playing. Do you think it will bother them beating us without Saunders who had a great game against them last year? The most important thing to me right now is for us to win the SEC East. I don't care how it comes about and anything beyond that is bag fries.

not only without saunders, but possably culliver, king, and saunders. i don't feel too bad for georgia. saunders is a big weapon for us and we do feel the impact of not having him as another recieving option. to me, this is where mark richt will be at his best. georgia will be extremely motivated in this game so we better be ready.

I was already thinking that we had a real solid chance even if Green did play. Losing Green for the game WILL make a substantial difference IMO, if our defense is capable of playing like I think our coaches will game plan against UGA's offense. IMO, we will try to stack the box like we have against UGA in the past, place our best DBs on their best receiver (who was going to be Green), try to contain the run game, contain their top receiving threat, and make their young QB beat us through the air with 2nd and 3rd options.

We've done it to some success in the past, under Johnson: in '08, we held their run game to only 106 net yards and 1 TD, and those yards included a 30-yd run by Stafford. We contained Moreno pretty darn well. In '09, we held them to 107 yards and 2 TDs, but 1 TD was scored on a 61-yd busted play by Brandon Smith. So we've done a pretty good job of defending against UGA's run game, despite giving up a big play here and there..

With Green out, UGA's young QB will not have what is surely the anchor and leader on the offensive unit, a player that's known for rising to important occasions and giviing great effort. The other receivers are talented, but they are also not leaders, have accomplished little if anything thus far in their UGA careers, and are not very likely to be players to step up when the heat is on.

Plus, we were without some key defensive personnel against UGA last season, and without McKinley against them in '08, and the UGA fans didn't exactly commiserate with us before or afterwards.....

I don't think AJ Green is as big a loss as some are making it out to be.

Is he a great player? Of course. A gamebreaker? In most people's opinion.

However, realistically...he won't totally decide the outcome of a game. They have a good squad of receivers that will come in and do exactly what they need to do- catch passes and move the ball. They may not have his reach or grabbing ability...which will eliminate a few desperation plays from UGA's playbook.

Also, UGA is going to pound the ball on the ground. How many throws would realistically go Green's way during a game against someone? 5, maybe 6? A football game is decided on a lot more than this.

Yeah, there's always a decent chance AJ doesn't have a huge effect on the outcome of the game especially against a good defense BUT he is one of the few big time receivers who can put a team on his back and make huge plays. That's what UGA will most the most.

The biggest difference is now we can stack the box with 8 every single play, maybe even 9 on some instances, and not have to be worried about Green in 1 on 1. None of their other WR's are good enough to stop us from doing that, Green is.

I agree all the way ,I want to beat an "ALL HEALTHY.... ALL PLAYERS THERE GEORGIA" , AJ should not be a factor to us if he is there or if he's not , we need to play ALL TEAMS like we are going up againt a strong NFL team and don't let up , be conditioned , be ready and be prepared !!!! I would love for AJ to be in that game Saturday ....his presence should not be a concern of ours IF we are ready to play ball ..GO COCKS !!!!!

I have to disagree with this. AJ Green can make plays that the other can't. Remember his catch down the sideline at Williams-Brice in '08? Amazing catch, and a game changer. Another poster referenced the blocked field goal against Arizona State. AJ Green is a receiver that you need to roll coverage towards. He has body control and timing in the air like Sidney Rice did. Simply put, he's someone the defense absolutely has to account for on every single play.

Without AJ Green, Georgia may be forced to play more 3 and 4 WR formations to spread our defense out. If Georgia is in a 2-back, 2-receiver, tight end set, I dont see them having much success because we would likely stack the box and let Gilmore cover his side of the field 1 on 1. Force Georgia to do what they don't want to do. The gameplan on defense is much simpler when you don't have to account for #8.

I live in Atlanta. Our response can be that we are also missing our leading receiver from 2009 and future NFLer Wesley Saunders and maybe others...

That being said...the other UGA WRs are not on AJ Green's level at all but they ARE very talented. They have some other very good ones tat were highly recruited and it is games like this where they would look to make a name for themselves. We just need to take care of business and whip their tales.... When it comes down to it UGA is a run forst school anyway and that is what they are going to try to establish and what we will try to take away.

Having to cover A J Green is a factor in every game he has played in since he was in little league.

YES!

Having to cover A J Green effects the defense on every single play and in numerous ways. Was he going to have 5 TDs and 300 yards? No way but he was and is a huge factor in every game he plays in.

With AJ out, I think Carolina will win. Remember, they still are getting their RB and #2 WR back as well.

bump AJ GREEN WILL NOT PLAY. not that thats a good thing


Georgia star receiver A.J. Green was suspended by the NCAA for four games on Wednesday for selling a bowl jersey for $1,000 to someone who qualifies as an agent.

Green sold his jersey from last season's Independence Bowl. The junior, who sat out the season-opening 55-7 victory over Louisiana-Lafayette, must miss three more games before regaining his eligibility, according to the ruling from the NCAA.

No. 22 Georgia (1-0) is heading into a key Southeastern Conference game against No. 24 South Carolina on Saturday without Green, who's also banished from SEC games against No. 14 Arkansas (Sept. 18) and Mississippi State (Sept. 25). He will be eligible to return for an Oct. 2 contest at Colorado.

I know one player can really help a team, but you have to remember - there's no "I" in the word "team". For UGAy to beat us, they are going to have to show up with the better team because not only do we undoubtedly have talented individuals, we are a better team as a whole.

Georgia is physically in much better shape than SC so they have no excuse with or without Green.

they can have the excuses...i'll take the win.

do you think UGA is wishing we had King, Culliver, and Saunders so that we have no excuses? No...they want to win, and they'll take it any way it can come. As we should, also.

RT @schadjoe (http://twitter.com/schadjoe): Former UNC CB Chris Hawkins just told me he gave AJ Green 1000K for his jersey.

Report: Former UNC player behind A.J. Green's jersey sale http://bit.ly/cGtClm (http://bit.ly/cGtClm) ... (Here is link to ESPN story http://es.pn/cOVrNS (http://es.pn/cOVrNS) )

From ESPN story:

Georgia wide receiver A.J. Green (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/player/profile?playerId=379205) sold his Independence Bowl jersey to a former North Carolina football player who is also at the center of an NCAA investigation into alleged rules violations in the Tar Heels program.

According to sources familiar with the NCAA investigation, Chris Hawkins, a former North Carolina defensive back, befriended Green through the receiver's Facebook page. According to the source, Hawkins identified himself as a financial adviser and memorabilia collector in Facebook messages to Green, who eventually agreed to sell his jersey to Hawkins for $1,000.

The NCAA, which handed Green a four-game suspension on Wednesday, ruled Hawkins qualifies as an agent.

ESPN just said that Hawkins is also known to have approached several players wanting to be their agent in the future, so it opens up yet another avenue of investigation into the Tarhole program.

It sounds like the AJ Green incident was found out from Facebook and Marvin Austin from Twitter. I guess my only comment in all of this is I if I was a player if I chose to have a Facebook account it would be completely private and the only people I would allow would be people I already knew. Facebook and Twitter is a bad idea for both players as well as our fans to follow these kids. We already know many players are young and stupid in actions sometimes and open diary is just a bad idea for all parties involved. I don't follow players except what they do on the field.

This has been discussed before but just because your account is private doesn't mean other people can't read it. Go read your terms and conditions. Large companies and organizations (NCAA I would be does this) can pay to have access to any and all Facebook accounts. My wife's friend in college got busted underage drinking by her dad on facebook because she thought it was private but he was in HR for his company and sent her pictures that were on her account and asked her what she was doing. They shouldn't have one at all or be very very careful what they put out there.

Thanks for letting me know I am 60 years old and don't involve myself in those things and never will. I just don't get it a 12 year old girl has a diary with a lock and she soon learns that lock doesn't keep anybody out of her private thoughts. Soon her Mom and brother will be reading how she thinks some boy is cute. An open diary or maybe even a so called private one is just a bad idea because it is usually read by people you don't want knowing your PRIVATE thoughts which will never be private at all. Football players be warned unknown to you maybe the girl you dated over the weekend was underage and what you did with her and put on Facebook or on Twitter is now evidence in you going to jail. Your lack of valuing your privacy will make you infamous in the end. WARNING WILL ROBINSON ALIEN INVASION COMING YOUR WAY.
