"Georgia had its first full contact practice of the spring Friday, and the reaction of the offense worried Richt.
"I wasn't necessarily disgusted with the offense, but I was a little upset with the offense," he said. "I felt like in shorts when everybody knew there was no tackling, no contact, everybody was flying around, making plays, looking brave, and then we started having contact, and all of a sudden, we dropped more balls, we fumbled more balls. They weren't playing with as much confidence."
The offense responded to a tongue-lashing by Richt and held up better in the final drill of the day, the coach said. Richt was pleased with the play of young backs Caleb King, Richard Samuel and Dontavius Jackson.
"(Samuel) actually picked up a linebacker blitz, not perfect, but he struck him pretty darn good," Richt said."

Good to read Coach going off on the O and letting them know what's for. They have a week to get whatever non-fooseball stuff they have off their minds because when they return, it's Katy, bar the door!
The injury to Washington's shoulder is not good and it could be that he has a cronic condition. Good thing this year's D is so deep in LB'ers that he can fully rehab it. Good that all of the other injuries aren't serious.
