Interesting take on QB situation after the 1st week and other key observations and my takes on them

An interesting take coming from Barry Jackson after the 1st week of Spring Camp.

I agree with Jackson that Jarren Williams won't be a factor this Spring, but interestingly, Richt believes he might in the fall. Something to watch there. As for Kosi, the deep ball isn't as good as Malik's is, but that arm is really second to none here. The scary part is that he's getting better with each passing day. Jackson says that Kosi does turn his back on plays (i.e., going into our own backfield), but that's easily correctable.

On Malik, according to Jackson's piece, he's had a solid camp so far, and for him, this is an important camp. On one play, he gets out of trouble, avoids the blitz and ran 40 yards for a TD.

As for Cade, you know I really like this kid, but I'm not totally sure he's out of Richt's doghouse after the off the field incident near the end of last season. The key with Cade, according to Jackson's piece is that he's gotten better and he's bigger and stronger than he was last year. Most importantly, he knows the offense and what Richt wants here.

A couple of other takes I have here on other positions.

At WR, we're solid here. Liking the fact that the early enrollees are making an impact this spring.

As for Playmaker II, he needs to improve at making tough catches and bail out our QBs. He needs to make an impression this spring because once Mallory and Jordan arrive in the fall, his time probably will be limited drastically.

As for the D, after Manny chewing them out yesterday and punishing them after a poor performance, I believe they're getting the message loud and clear. We're seeing that from a few players here.

One of which is Greg Rousseau, another one who's here early for Spring Ball. This guy is the real deal. Manny, CMR, and Simpson are raving about this kid.

Another is Jon Garvin, especially, since we won't have DJax back until Fall camp and he's making the most of his opportunity to make an impact this spring.

In the secondary, JD (Dean) has some work to do here. He's working on the 1st team, which is good for us here. I like the thought of having MJax, Bandy, and JD as the three players there. I'm liking that Gilbert Frierson, and D.J. Ivey as well as Gurvan are having solid Springs so far.

Liking what Big Mike is saying about Mike Smith stepping up in Zach's absence. Hopefully, we'll have Zach back in time for Fall camp.

Overall, like what I'm seeing so far, and hopefully, week 2 will be just as productive as Week 1 was.
