Georgia DL Jordan Davis discusses how James Cook, Zamir White compare to last year's Georgia RBs
The Georgia Bulldogs lost start RB D’Andre Swift to the 2020 NFL Draft this offseason, as he was a second-round pick by the Detroit Lions.
They also lost talented backup Brian Herrien, so the Dawgs’ backfield will look a lot different this season, with Zamir White and James Cook slated to get most of the work.
On Wednesday after practice, talented DL Jordan Davis said he doesn’t think there’s any drop-off between last year’s running backs and this year’s:
“There is no drop-off, no drop-off. They bring such unique, multiple things to the game. It is really fun to watch and really fun to play with them. [Zamir White and James Cook] are both fast—so it’s giving me a hard time in practice trying to catch up with them at practice. I love them boys both.”
Will White and Cook both have big seasons like Swift and Herrien? Davis is confident, and he sees them in practice every day.
We’ll see how they start the year on Sept. 26 at Arkansas.
The biggest difference is they’ll be well-used by an offensive coordinator who knows how to use his running backs (Monken once had TWO 1000 yard rushers in the same season at Southern Miss) as opposed to slamming them into 8 and 9 men boxes over and over and over again.
Unlike last year with Coley, this time I agree with you that there is hope for us on that side of the ball. Hopefully we can shine this year with the China Virus mess. But if not, he will eventually get us up and running with a 21st Century offense.
The only question mark I have is will Monken take the Southern Miss job. I haven’t kept up with the rumors but it seems like he’s staying.
Go Dawgs!!
“They bring such unique, multiple things to the game.”
The game is over a hundred years old.
But these two guys BOTH bring something never seen before? And not just 1 thing each, both bring multiple unique things to a hundred year old game?
Either we are in for a once in a lifetime year or our defense hasn’t seen much film.
No wonder we lose one we shouldn’t every year.
