Title: Georgia, Bama take different approach in war of words Post by: Catch Prothro on December 01, 2012, 07:15:48 AM http://www.al.com/alabamafootball/index.ssf/2012/11/nothing_wrong_with_georgias_or.html
Quote “I think we’re the best defense in the country,” senior cornerback Sanders Commings said Monday in Athens. “I feel like we’re more talented," safety Bacarri Rambo said. Fighting words, right? Well, not exactly. It takes two, and Alabama wasn't biting. On his way up to the stage for his weekly Wednesday interview, AJ McCarron was smiling. He'd just brokered a deal to wear a hooded sweatshirt and sweatpants rather than the traditional Alabama polo shirt most others don for their respective time in front of the camera. What followed was the opposite of bulletin-board material. "Just another game," McCarron said. "That's the biggest thing everyone needs to just remember. Don't make the game bigger than what it is. Just another Saturday." A few moments later, a reporter informed senior center Barrett Jones about Georgia's "emotional" comments heading into Saturday's game. Jones shrugged his shoulders. "We don’t really worry about how Georgia prepares for a game. We worry about ourselves," Jones said. "That’s always been our strategy. We want to bring the best Alabama team possible into the game. We want to prepare as best we can. "We feel like if we’re at our best, we’re pretty hard to beat.” Though it might not seem like it, Jones' confidence and the more outward bravado exhibited by Georgia are essentially the same thing. They're just being expressed in entirely different fashions.

They have another good team, but Barrett Jones hit the nail on the head, that crossing all "T's" and making a capital "I" in all situations will win this game. RTR!
Title: Re: Georgia, Bama take different approach in war of words Post by: pmull on December 01, 2012, 07:51:07 AM This is a different approach by Coach Richt. He is not only letting his team talk trash but encouraging it. He said most teams that play Alabama are in awe and enter the game with the mindset they can not win. He is trying to make them believe they can beat us. This approach shows very little class. A better approach would be to prepare your team with practice, film study and a game plan that makes them belive they can win. Trash talk may imtimidate some of the teams on UGA weak schedule but I do not think it will work against us.
