Georgia Bulldogs are looking pretty good

The Bulldogs will return one of the best receiving tight ends in the country in Orson Charles. He will undoubtedly gain some attention from linebackers and relieve some of the pressure coming at Aaron Murray. He’ll be backed up, and sometimes accompanied by Aron White who has played in 36 games and started 16 at TE. And, yet another former TE, Bruce Figgins, will be blocking from the fullback position. Much of the concern about the line is centered upon a perceived lack of depth. Such a concern is understandable as the Dawgs have suffered injury after injury over the past few seasons. But maybe the Dawgs are due for a stint of good health. The new strength and conditioning regime has them focused on football-specific training and nutrition. That change could go a long way in preventing injuries and fatigue. If the offensive line does in fact represent Georgia’s weakest unit, then the Dawgs may actually be headed for a great season.
