PHOTOS: Take a look at the Georgia Bulldogs during Week 4 of spring practice
It might be hard to believe, but there’s just over a week left in spring practice for the Georgia Bulldogs. Kirby Smart’s crew is through with 11 practices so far this spring. They’ll take the field at Sanford Stadium tomorrow (Saturday) for the second of three spring scrimmages, wrapping up Week 4 in the process.
Smart said early on that spring is one of his favorite times of the year, and it’s not because of the nice weather and flowers blooming. Instead, it’s an opportunity for him to learn a little bit about his team. So, that begs the question, what has he learned?
“We have a long way to go in some position groups to get where we need to get,” Smart said. “What I’ve been very pleased with thus far is I don’t feel like we’ve had poor practice. We’ve had really good energy. A lot of really good teaching and learning, which, especially in the positions that we’re young at, that’s what you need. You need to teach, learn, get them reps. It’s so valuable to get young players reps in the spring. They learn from mistakes. They have to make a mistake a certain amount of times to get it, and we’re going through those growing pains right now. You know we’re sitting there going through them. I have been very pleased with that part of the spring, but we’re just not where we need to be. We don’t have enough depth at some positions, but the guys are fighting. There are a lot of injured guys, and I’m talking about guys that are not injured because of spring ball, they’re not in spring ball. So, we’re trying to find innovative creative ways to keep them involved. Scripts on the practice field. Walk-throughs for them; give them reps. Give a hurt guy reps against a hurt guy because there’s a good chance they don’t hurt each other. We’re just trying to be creative.”
