Can pick up to 3 in each category. What you got? Here’s mine.

1. Must win = UGA, UT, FSU
2. Breakout Unit = offensive line
3. Breakout Player Offense = Trask as Heisman finalist, Pierce, Copeland
4. Breakout Player Defense = Matt Elam, any two on the interior at any level
5. Step on Campus Ready to Play = Wingo, Henderson, Lingard

Matt Elam is not coming back.

I agree with most of these. But with breakout unit, what does that mean? Is that a unit that needs to break out? Or is that a unit that is going to break out. Because if it’s a unit that is going to break out I would think it’s probably going to be DB. I don’t think there’s enough talent at linebacker.

Although I think Wingo can have a really good freshman campaign, he is probably still a year away from a major impact.

I think Cox is going to be an absolute beast.

To me, a break out unit is a unit that under performed a year ago, had issues and not high expectations this year. I thought LB play last year was weak...but I do think they will be better this year.

Number 1 seems obvious. But I actually agree that all 3 are must wins. Jax is self explanatory. But I think a loss to Norvell in year one would be disastrous on the recruiting front. And Pruitt would be similar. Have to keep those rivalries at bay, so we can focus on changing the direction of the other. Mullen really needs to go 3-0 there or he may have all the time in the world to work on tik-tok dances with his wife pretty soon.

2. I'm going to say OL. When Hevesy isn't insulting mothers, he's a good position coach. We're due here.

3. Copeland. He seems like the type of player that needs reps and targets to keep his confidence up. That should happen.

4. Carter and/or Davis. Elam, imo, already broke out. His uncle as well.

5. Henderson. I could see Lingard being ok this year, gaining momentum through the close of the season and being a beast in '21.

1) Trask's QB-tweaks result in longer completions, higher completion %
2) Kadarius Toney has breakout season of national note.
3) our defensive backfield is "shutdown"
4) we block a punt or two
5) Lingard is a top SEC RB
6) EJ shows he is an SEC top QB

My wishlist for the 2020 season:
- Play our entire schedule (don't lose any games we play)
- Have some fans be able to attend
- No major covid19 outbreaks on the team

Somebody has to point out the elephant in the room.

1. Beat Georgia
2. Break the hearts of Georgia fans.
3. Lap up their warm tears as it is the nectar of life.

Let's see if Kadarius can catch a pass thrown more than 10 yards ahead of the LOS. This is the year for him to actually run routes.

Also want to see Copeland contribute big-time.
Want Mullen & crew to cajole or cudgel the best out of all gators.
Want a D & an O everybody can feel proud of.

This season doesnt matter, we arent competing for championships any time soon.

The only thing that matters is that we finally hire competent recuiting staff and asst coaches and lamd an elite class.

Then we need two more after that.

Nothing else matters until we have a Florida type roster again.

Until then, Cousin Eddie will continue "losing the ines we are supposed to lose" and some of those we werent.

What is a “Florida type roster”?

1- Leg humping sacks of ****
2- young corners step up, move
Marco back to nickel
3- Zip. Think Pitts plays out wide a bit and
when not we see more two TE sets since KT
Is our only proven slot . I say Zip goes north of 15
Catches .
4- Chester Kimbrough - good cover guy. Not big but mixes good ball skills with ability to stay with and play the man . He also plays with fortitude and isn’t afraid to take on a ball carrier . Think he starts for us .Though probably at nickel initially .
5- Dex and it’s not really close . The young man is simply too talented to not be in the rotation immediately .
