UGA Football: Coach Smart and Trio of Players Comment On Scrimmage and Spring Practice
ATHENS, Ga. — University of Georgia head football coach Kirby Smart, along with a trio of players discussed Saturday’s scrimmage and spring practice.
On Tuesday, Coach Smart, senior Jack Podlesny, junior Jalen Carter and redshirt sophomore Ladd McConkey the following comments after practice…
Head Coach Kirby Smart
On the linebackers…
“We’re just really young (at the linebacker position). You say stand out—I mean, there’s nobody that stands out—not compared to who just left that room. There are guys filling a role and there’s a difference—there’s a standard at Georgia when you play inside linebacker and outside linebacker and we’re probably not playing to that standard right now. But it’s not because they’re not trying hard enough and it’s not because they’re not passionate enough, it’s because they don’t have the experience or the reps. We’re catching up on that every day as fast as we can. (Xavian) Sorey (Jr.)’s taken a lot of reps, but he’s got a long way to go. Jalon Walker’s taken a lot of reps—he’s got a long way to go. Trezmen (Marshall) is injured, so he’s on a pitch count—on a number of reps—and he’s able to go some with the ones and help us out. At outside linebacker with Chaz (Chambliss) and (MJ Sherman), they’ve gotten a lot of work with Nolan (Smith) and (Robert) Beal (Jr.) there.”
UGA Football: Frierson Chats With Dominick Blaylock
Georgia wide receiver Dominick Blaylock is back healthy again, at last. Two knee injuries knocked him out for all of the 2020 season and much of 2021, when he saw limited action, playing in four games and making two catches.
Blaylock did help out on the scout team during practice last season. Blaylock had 18 receptions for 310 yards and five touchdowns as a freshman in 2019, before the first torn ACL ended his season in the SEC Championship Game. His 2020 season never got started due to the second knee injury. But now Blaylock is feeling good and feeling fast.
During a Quick Chat after practice last Thursday, Blaylock, the son of former longtime NBA point guard Mookie Blaylock, talked about last season, playing other sports, cooking, and much more. Here’s some of what he had to say:
Frierson: How often do you think about what this team accomplished in 2021? Is it an everyday thing or do you have to put it out of your mind as you move forward and prepare for next season?
