They and we’re idiots next on locked on Bulldogs you are locked on Bulldogs your daily podcast on the Georgia Bulldogs part of the locked on podcast Network your team every Day what is up everybody Welcome to the lockdown Bulldogs podcast it is Saturday afternoon it’s the overreaction show um oops I go change that don’t worry about that um it is the overreaction show now um this episode brought to you by LinkedIn jobs more on them in a second
Thanks so much if you’re listening if you’re watching um we got a lot to say we have a lot of things to talk about let me just start hereby smart yeah in his postgame press conference yes speaking of the Brock Bowers injury said and I quot we’re not going to overreact to it
Well guess what ladies and gentlemen we are I don’t know what kind of an animal you need to sacrifice Georgia fan in order to try to appease whatever deity you claim but now’s the time to get to getting you understand Brock Bowers has exactly 13 days yeah to get 100% fully
Healthy I died inside in the second quarter of that game and I have not yet been resuscitated there and when we say die inside just so you’re fully aware if you’ve been part of lockon bulldog for a while you know how dead inside Daniel already is and how I’m dead inside
Already and for us to die more takes a brock Bowers leg injury lower leg injury in which he’s hobbling from one side of the stadium to the other what the actual hell can you get the man a cart I just if I saw him on a cart Clint
That would have been it for the podcast I just need let let the record show that the only reason I’m here is because I haven’t seen him on a card X-rays were negative he’s guys he’s fine guys he’s not gonna play against Florida okay by the way Peta he is not
Actually going to sacrifice an animal just don’t come at us might Tai excuse me Peter you can contact me personally at dogs podcast if you’d like to follow up on what I said earlier gir and I will anxiously be awaiting okay we’re gonna we’re gonna talk about a couple overreaction
Questions that we got over on the twitters as well but yeah the the biggest news coming out of this we it’s the Brock bow injury Brock Bowers it is um it will be a constant source of of conversation and not only that but let’s just go
Ahead and get the other injuries out of the way here um at the beginning of the show because we’re talking about Brock P normally wouldn’t lead with injuries but um Kristen Miller goes down that’s you know that’s a big loss hopefully he’s back we don’t you know don’t know a ton
About him Xavier truss goes down with another ankle injury and that one killed I mean that one just hurt that one hurt big time and and I’ll just say this here okay I was ready to jump on the pot early in the game you know as we watched
Theame game my mind immediately goes to like just file that away I’m going to be talking about that on the podcast tonight and when Xavier trust missed that block and gosh it resulted in the strip sack fumble I was ready to jump on this pod but but you know what Clint I I
Went the other way everyone was slipping and sliding on that disgusting field in Nashville every single person I watched it was like an ice skating rank out there Xavier trust clearly put a cleat in the ground and it did not catch anything and he went down as one does
And he gave up the sack I don’t I don’t fault him at all for that now now it was a huge play in the game and I’m tremendously unfortunate for Georgia I’m not I wasn’t mad even before the injury I wasn’t mad at zavier truss after seeing other guys sliding around if he’s
Not back that’s a huge loss for I’m GNA talk about who replaced him and what the swing status is with Michael Morris as well as freeling who by the way freeling came in freeling came in played admirably played played admirably he played dang well but but your point is this and I
Saw it early on in the game you saw uh that little runaround that Vanderbilt did throw into the end zone the the almost catch non-catch but guys were slipping and sliding oh yeah L falls down on that play if he’s just if he’s upright that’s an easy interception pick
So field is awful it hurt Brock Bowers which I’ll never forgive you for Vanderbilt that you’re a construction zone with not real turf why in the world is it legal to allow football stadiums to apply that forsaken substance to be what we run on I will never understand
It’s insane it’s absolutely insane it’s like the swamp at nean Stadium it’s it’s just insane surface to try to play on and then Clint why is it why is it that Kendall Milton Is Now by far the best running back on this team and as soon as you
Think that no he gone he he gone he he is back on the sideline helmet gone knee brace knce on MCL tighten up took a shot to the knee and at halftime just tightened up on him I said I said two weeks ago don’t come back until you’re a
100% healthy and he was a 100% healthy did you see the man run today I I saw him run five carries 53 yards looks un absolute animal and then then the injury bug come apparently look I don’t know Kendall what your Regiment of training is but it’s just so frustrating and
Infuriating as a Georgia fan we’re going to get to the rest of the game after this stupid injury segment in segment one it’s so infuriating as a Georgia fan that Midway through the second quarter of this game Clint yeah you’re starting to visualize what a backfield of dejun
Edwards and Kendall Milton looks like the rest of the season because oh by the way both of those guys are really freaking good at football you saw you saw dejon come up with a huge run that he did a beautiful jum Mass my goodness we were anticipating this and the
Offensive line again Michael Morris freeling SE van Dylan Fairchild who was doing something Tate rage once he stopped getting his clat also uh slipping and sliding they did very well and you did think you thought oh my gosh this two guys together and you’re like holy cow
George is set at running back I put out on subtext we were talking about the implications of having these two guys for the rest of the year is insurmountably incredible because now all of a sudden again if those two are fully healthy there is not a single
Defense in the entire nation that can stop us from doing anything we want not a single one and now holy gez we’re back in the same spot we were before nothing is more nothing is more devastating than a brock Bow’s injury that’s why we leave the show with it but
The Xavier trust Kendall Milton back-to back injuries just is it’s a real it’s just a devastating blow for morale I know that Georgia’s offense was fine I know that we came back out little you know everything was whatever yeah devastating for morale we’re going to talk about that Georgia offense we’re talking about
The Georgia defense we’re going to talk about what we liked and what we didn’t like coming out of Nashville we got a bunch more stuff to overreact to but first these and these are in fact LinkedIn LinkedIn jobs locked on College linkedin.com lockon colge post your job for free these places are incredible

Now all right Clint so we come back and I want to start with this because I know there’s probably a lot of negativity on this show you know a game that we won handily well it’s you and I so so if you came expecting something else either I’m sorry either welcome to
The show I’m I’m glad to have you here for the very first time he’s Clint and I’m Daniel and we do this podcast every single day called lockdown Bulldog it’s great to have you along or that’s your fault if you expected something different um but I want to start here
Clint a lot of negativity about the offense the explosive plays a lot of I we got some comments we got some comments about Kirby Smart’s game plan hamstringing Mike Bobo I’m sorry guys I’m not going to do that I’m not GNA do it this offense did not punt one time
This game now Carson Beck threw a very problematic interception not good was not good that makes two balls that he had tipped today the other one very nearly intercepted on an amazing play in the back field and you had the aforementioned fall down you know uh right tackle fall down strip
Sack fumble early in the game if you’re going to have a problem with the Georgia offense it’s twofold number one one it has nothing to do with the game plan it’s that Georgia did not hit and convert the explosive plays that were right case one rosem me Jack Saint
Streaking down the middle of the field throttles down he’s wide open Brock Carson Beck did not overshoot him he throttled down Ros whoever’s at fault in that play it’s egregious that that was not converted right there it’s egregious that that play is not hit fast forward fast forward a couple minutes well who’s
That wide open receiver down the middle of the field what are these used for that Carson be this time there’s no mistaking whose fault it was Glen okay maybe the first one was Carson’s fault maybe the first one Whatever Marcus is trying to settle down in the zone and
Carson overshoots him but this one we know and I’m not going to mince any words here Arian Smith is terrible at football I don’t ever want to see him play again period end of statement I’m sure he’s a nice guy sure and he can have a scholarship and be on the team
Until he graduates I don’t ever want to see him on the field again it’s over but he’s got speed like Deshawn Jackson Daniel but do you know what Jackson was able to do when he got behind the defense catch the ball catch the ball one time how about once we’ll start with
Once what if you could caught it once the big plays were there the explosive plays were there Georgia missed them now Vandy came out with a game plan in this game do you know what the game plan was what’s cover that’s it cover the spread I don’t have any inside knowledge that
Clark Ley bet on this game but friends Clark Lee bet on this game okay Vandy came out to cover this spread real quick online gambling legal in Tennessee Daniel surely it is well yep with eight minutes to go down two scores Vanderbilt punted the football vanderbild came out
To cover the spread they played everything deep they played everything in front of them and Carson Beck systematically tically move the ball down the field the problem with the Georgia offense in this game and the reason why we didn’t score 50 points yet again is because we did not hit the
Explosive plays that were there they were there and because we did not convert in the red zone three field goal opportunities in the Red Zone um that’s not good enough if you’re Georgia you got to convert some of those into touchdowns and um that’s the only reason
That the game was as close as it was you cannot possibly walk out of this game even with two and a half quarters of Brock Bower list Kendall Milton list Xavier trustless football the Georgia offense was still humming Clint huming every fine everywhere the offensive line
Did replacement guys coming in a mix and mash uh operation they were just fine dejon Edwards is just fine y’all he is Carson Beck just fine Oscar showed up I was just gonna come on come on down he was again perfectly fine lad makoni converts a couple of long distances wish
You could play more lad wish you were out there for more snaps love it is out there against the S had a better game better game he did so this offense is f the structure is fine the system is fine Mike Bobo is fine car all of these
Things are true stop it I am now concerned with injuries but even with injuries against an inferior opponent the program just goes the offensive gonna be F pace is guys it’s fine there is no reason to be concerned like like legitimately even with those things we have enough Firepower the Brock Bowers
Yes we’re going to be watching it close and now all of a sudden whatever the line is for Florida I have different thoughts I have different I mean x-rays are negative he’ll be back this season I honestly at this moment who in the world knows we don’t have any insight or
Information not high ankle sprain because he wouldn’t have been walking but I don’t know that you should necessarily expect him to play against Florida or expect him to be 100% against Florida but the fact that the x-rays are negative he should be back this season Georgia’s offense will be fine fine
Um can we talk about the defense now nope nope all right well it’s been we’ll be seeing you it’s been a long we’re g I’ll give you I’ll give you a little taste now I’ll give you a little taste now and then we’ll roll it into
The third segment for the 199 the loyal third segment listeners I have never been more wrong about about a unit of football in my entire life these defensive players are not good they are not good the linebackers are abject trash they cannot cover in any open field
Whatsoever they cannot get back to to do a little angle pattern from a running back they can’t cover any underneath slant or post or dig they can’t get elevated for depth D Dumis Johnson is not worth my time talking about I I’m sorry I just I can’t do it anymore I I
Can’t with him we are not able to tackle we are not able to get pass coverage it is abysmal this is one of the worst inside linebacking cores ever assembled for Kirby Smart well that’s uh ladies and gentlemen I’m here we’ve made it you’ve you have broken me the most Pro
Defensive guy in your corner I watched you get handled by vanderbel I watched you get systematically broken down in a part and picked apart they picked on the inside linebackers Daniel the game plan that vanderbel had that Clark Lee had was one thing only pick apart the middle
Of the field in between the hashes with running backs and wide receivers in the slots coming down the outside stuff Kamari Lasser it was fine like it was fine honestly it wasn’t bad I’ll take it I want to talk I want to talk about some
Of those some of the play and some of the in Decisions by Vander it indicates about Georgia but first these and these are FanDuel fanduel.com locked on and I told you don’t do anything on over if it’s more than 30 points there’s principled manners I didn’t break down I didn’t go to it
Saturday morning I won’t do it and this is why fanduel.com lockon gives you those lines you can go over there make every moment more and with every single bet you make of $5 more whether it cashes or not and if you bet the cover on Georgia God help your soul we I told
You not to that’s a $5 bet it would not have cashed but if it was your first bet on FanDuel guess what bonus bets bonus bets hundreds of do bonus bets uh it is safe it is reliable it’s the best place Daniel I go every single time we do
Locks and we give out lines over unders parlays uh Heisman odds fanduel.com locked on is the place that we go to where you should go as well and no matter if uh you don’t like betting don’t understand they’re going to help you out they’re going to make you and
You’re going to get bonus bets whether a $5 bet cashes or not fanduel.com lockon make every moment more Clinton it’s interesting you come in with the inside linebackers because I’m actually going to Flat disagree with you on the podcast yeah I know I know um the defense is a problem I do not
Disagree at all with that assessment we gave up and now we gave up 20 points to Vanderbilt one of them was Carson Beck Carson Beck gave up one of those touchdowns they Ball by the way kudos to Carson Beck for running down there and putting his shoulder into a guy and
Keeping him out of the end zone but Carson Beck gave up one of those touchdowns this defense gave up 14 points to Vanderbilt number one 14 points is way too many points to give up number two the way that they scored them both drives systematically moving the
Ball down the field on us surgically almost tearing this defense apart you blame the inside linebackers yeah Clint I blame the secondary no I absolutely listen to me I’m listening ta Smith’s not good don’t be fooled by the interceptions Georgia fans and he’s got
A lot of them ta Smith is a Flatout ball haw he is an absolute playmaker Big Moment Like go get the football type of guy but he is also a singlehandedly responsible for the first touch down that Vanderbilt scored a point which cannot be argued because it
Was validated by Kirby Smart both on the sideline and in Kirby Smart’s postgame press conference I’m not arguing with you okay tyi Smith is consistently out of position in coverage now when he’s in position he makes big time plays on the football and makes game-changing interceptions and that’s great but he’s
Still a liability on a downtown basis in coverage and then the corner play I know like again it wasn’t terrible no but the corner play isn’t up to par this Georgia secondary combined with the fact I’m ready to move into a realm you are now moving into a realm where you
Say I’ve never been more wrong about anything in my life and by the way Clinton is the guy who said who’s who’s Kendall Milton should never play football again take it was out there never said that he says he’s never been more about anything in his life than his Georgia
Defense you’re really you’re entering into a new space I said he shouldn’t play until healthy fully I am ready Clint to enter into a world in which these words come out of my mouth where is Mikel Williams and why is he not as good at football as we thought he was he’s not
Been effective no at all no this season he’s supposed to be the guy on that front four he’s supposed to be the guy in on on the whole front seven the disruptor the Elite pass rusher the guy that’s got all the physicality the guy that’s got all
The technique Clinton I ask you don’t go to you don’t have to go to the stats go to the numbers you don’t have to do a deep dive into analytics let me just ask you who has affected the quarterback more this season Mikel Williams or Warren Brinson I was
Just goingon to say Warren Brinson Nazir stack house Chaz chamblas uh Jaylen uh uh uh who else Jam Dumis Johnson the quarterback more than Michael Williams the front end and the back end of this defense are problems now I don’t disagree with you that the linebacker play has been suspect in the linebacker
Play but Georgia’s got problems up front and it’s not in the interior of the of the defensive line it’s the fact that they cannot affect quarterbacks they they cannot bring four and affect quarterbacks specifically from guys on the edge like Michel Williams and then they’ve got trouble in the back end
Because sometimes the play in the back end is absolutely exceptional and Elite but that’s the problem Clint is it’s so wildly inconsistent what we’re getting out of the secondary that you never know on a series to series basis what you’re gonna get no see okay it’s a domino
Effect I’m I’m going to not disagree but also disagree with you at the same time the secondary is being suspect because everything in front of them is not up to par Kirby Smart system and Glenn Schuman how it operates and how it works is according to the he said it him how
Dumis Johnson goes the entire defense goes the secondary is sucking up and missing assignments and trying to overcorrect because Dumis Johnson is not getting his assignment done and not taking care of his business it is it is a trickle down effect it is a domino effect now to your point Mel Williams
We’re there this has been long overdue actually Daniel and I have been secretly not talking about it because we’ve been hoping that it’s just it’s something weird maybe an injury maybe the flu bug maybe justed the team he’s just gone he’s he’s not effective period so not getting pressure Dumis Johnson’s not
Fast enough the secondary is having a domino effect of of repercussions of what’s happening in front of them now when we go Blitz and we go man Daniel when we’re not in zone I here’s here’s when we are not in zone and dos Johnson is not being asked to carry routes yeah we’re
Fine I mean until a simple handoff in the on the back end between a third year player yeah and a fifth year player results in a 60 yard touchdown pass Clint like how many times have we’re gonna are we gonna see it from this Georgia defense we’re like again
Some series they look Elite on the back end right okay this is G be my second point they didn’t even throw it to will sheeper hardly at all today which is a testament to how well the corners can play and did play that’s what I mean I was fine with the corner play
Today it seems to me ta is overcorrecting on a bunch of stuff he is not Bullard and he is not Malachi Stars he is not as consistent as those two Malachi Stars by the way just as consistent as consistency comes in this on this team and he is covering up a lot
Of deficiencies on his side as well inside linebacker play can’t carry a single pass coverage the defensive line without blitzing is not getting consistent pressure whatsoever now part of that is again how people play Georgia it is it is you have two and a half seconds to get the ball out and again
The two drives that Vanderbilt was surgical that was surgical I I get it but at the same time at the same time I say all of that and say beat the man in front of you like this was it was evident for quarter they had they were
Disinterested in a noon kick they were disinterested in Vanderbilt they were defense was the offense came the offense was not I mean your first series fumble but the flat as can be everywhere and this defense is playing emotional football right now and that’s brand new to Kirby Smart and Glenn Schuman because
Defenses has always been consistent and now we’re doing es and flows ups and downs roller coastering and that is brand new to us we are in Uncharted Territory for the first time in Georgia F we had we’ve had other we’ve had Monty rice Le defenses that weren’t emotional Daniel that were consistent not
Consistently as great as others but man the Spectrum on this defense is gross to try to think through Georgia got a long way to go Y and listen there’s not I tell you what this game proved this game proved number one Georgia is not the team that we saw against
Kentucky all the time they can be that team they absolutely can be can also they can also mess around against absolutely anybody in the country and look suspect at best I’m not saying Georgia can’t still go undefeated can’t still win a National Championship can’t still do all the
Things but this defense particularly has got a long way to go they’ve got a lot of improvement to make and let’s hope they do so in the by week I’m one last over maybe it’s an overreaction Clint and I’m G I talked it right I’m gonna
Talk it right here at the end I’ve been hey thanks for being here because you are why we do this podcast appreciate you all I’m going to upset some of you in a deep way right now okay yep um I said earlier that I don’t want
To see Aryan Smith on the football field again there’s another person I’ve feel that way about and his name is Makai Muse I’m done with the maai Muse show for Georgia I get it I know I understand he’s so likable he’s very fast he had that big punp return sure the fumbles
Clint the little like the little checkdown stuff that should be going to Lad that should be going to Dom love it that should be going to cash freaking Jones I’d rather any of those guys run every play that maimu is running I don’t want to see him return punts I don’t
Want to see him return kicks because every time he touches the ball I think a he’s going to Fumble Bui or B I don’t I don’t trust that this is really going anywhere now Georgia was getting six seven eight yards a clip on those little dump offs to the outside and Mike Bubba
Was perfectly content to just systematically move the ball on the field but I’m like I want more from this Georgia team and I want lad makoni to be healthy enough where he’s the guy catching those B the best version of this Georgia team does not involve mau’s
On the field at all I think we need to find somebody else to return punts because I just can’t handle putting the ball on the ground anymore like how like how many times are we going to let MIM use fumble on a punt and not take him
Out like I you don’t have to it doesn’t have to be lad I understand if it’s like he’s on a pitch count and you don’t want to put him in there sure he has clearly put somebody else in there I cannot watch it the ball be put on the ground
Again on special teams that’s fine I I thought you were GNA go far worse than that that’s very reasonable uh here overreaction in a good way Ernest Green I love you just fine you’re you are just fine please please please do some extra just preemptive therapy like like preventative maybe prayer get that
Circle going something just something whatever animal you need Georgia fans com for telling you right now Pet’s coming for you this has been locked on bulog but locked on podcast your team every day we will see you all on Monday where we talk about news that Kirby’s
Gonna give us because he’s gonna be so forthright withj cannot imagine these two weeks are going to be anything but fun we’ll see you guys later here
