The Work 8-5: First week of fall camp

[337CaneNation]

Finally I'm hearing about D. Smith.. Miami has some really talented young players coming for playing time in 2017'!! It's very interesting hearing about all the young players who have stepped on the field and made their names and talents known these early.. Week 2 should be a fun one as well!!

Composed by Marley and recorded in 1973 before but made famous later by Eric Clapton and it was the only #1 song Clapton recorded.

Doesn't matter - everyone knows it as Eric Clapton's song.

Just like everyone knows Willie Nelson's Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain, or Move it On Over by George Thorogood - but they were both Hank Williams songs. But when you mention either song - "it was Willie," or "it was Thorogood."

Similar to All Along the Watchtower - Hendrix - was Bob Dylan's song. You don't think of Me and Bobby McGhee with anyone else by Janis Joplin - but Kris Kristopherson wrote it. Woodstock is known to be a Crosby, Still, Nash, and Young song - not Joni Mitchell - who wrote and sang it.

Some songs go with the artist that made it known.

everyone? nah, anyone that follows marley knows it is marley's, and not clapton's, though clapton's version is also good.

Definitely not everyone as I had no idea that Clapton sang that song until this thread- I only knew it as a Marley song.

Marley got more popular after he died.

How many Top 40's did he have? You really didn't hear much Marley on the radio back then.

And idea on how many more folks are more familiar with Clapton than Marley?

Clapton was a member of the Yardbirds, Cream, Blind Faith, Derek and the Dominoes, and Clapton made Marley even more popular by doing his music, Reggae was NOT part of the mass music market at the time - as great as it was.

Second in Rolling Stone's Top 100 guitar players of all time, 18 Grammies, and someone is going to tell me they'd heard Marley's version - but not Clapton's?

Only after Marley died.

I don't have a dog in this fight; I like both Clapton and Marley, but would not consider myself a die hard of either. I just had no idea that Clapton ever did I Shot the Sheriff.

To your point, I am probably more familiar with Marley's version b/c I am a bit young for either of them in their primes. I have nothing against Clapton and am not saying he or Marley is better; my only point was that not everyone associates that song with Clapton.

I've never heard Clapton's version either. Marley's is the only one I know.

Y'all have found a way to get mad over good news. We back.

We have to take what we can get but some of it stinks based on what has been written and what has played out in the past. This is now three offseason sessions in a row that Shirreffs is getting hype. Specifically early hype. Then reality and the numbers show up and no one can explain or actually tries to explain why the observations don't match reality.

The practice observers here and sources within the program don't know what they're looking at and have no idea what Richt looks for. That or Shirreffs ****s down his own leg after any early success.

Shirreffs hurt his hand last year. It was widely reported. That's why his hype tapered off.

If you don't want to believe us, listen to today's Out The Huddle podcast with DJ and Rolle. They were there today. Let me know how many times they mention Rosier.

My pick is Perry and my pick for second is Shirreffs. Maybe I'm wrong. Last time there was a QB battle, I said it was Kaaya from the first practice. The media and conventional wisdom were saying Heaps. We were right. Let's see how it plays out.

My son has also told me that Perry looks to be the best out of the group for what it's worth.

W Evan and N'Kosi can we just all assume

Ken Dorsey starting but splitting some reps with a freshman Charlie Ward?

That's what I'm gonna roll w until otherwise

I am MUCH higher on Sheriffs than most on this board. He does look like Dorsey body wise but his arm is a little stronger but he is not Ken Dorsey. If Sheriffs had some game experience I would feel different but it makes no sense to me for 2 new starters to have to make those growing pain mistakes all QB's go thru (Dorsey VT as a FR.) May as well roll with the guy who has the upside even if he is a step behind Sheriffs.

this isn't a marley v clapton challenge. there is no question that clapton is the much more successful musician. the number of top 40 songs marley had is an inadequate ruler to measure him. his ascent was short lived and challenging for many reasons, including his country of origin, his reluctance to adapt his music to the US market (making it more pop) and other factors, but he's arguably the best ever at his genre and i personally like his version of I Shot the Sheriff more than Clapton's, although Clapton's is very good.

Peter predicted Perry would start before or shortly after he committed. Don't expect him to change his tune early. I still find that hard to believe and will wait and see in a few weeks what will Richt say. I'm still going with experience.

What experience? Rosier! Based on what? Bad game against Clemson, and average against a weak Duke team. How many INTs from both games?

There's a new Sherrifs in town:

 

[DTP]

No dog in this fight. Nor do I have an insider information. What I have noticed is that a lot of players this year and last, seem to be really high on Evan Shireffs. Maybe he's just a Greentree All American, maybe he gets the starting job. I'm curious to hear results of the upcomming scrimmages and see how these guys do when the bullets are flying.

That's where I'm at as well. Guys inside the program have very good things to say about Sherriff's ability to lead the team. That said, many inside the program had great things to say about guys like Kendall Thompkins and yes, Ryan Williams. Live action is the only place the rubber truly hits the road and so far (albeit in Spring scrimmages), Sherriffs has been mediocre at best, at least statistically: 16-36 139 yd in one, 7-17, 75 yards, 1 INT in another.

Summer is a new animal of course, so I'll be very curious to see how and if he progresses when the wolves are bearing down.
