    Yes, that Damien George.

    The reaction was as expected.

    Pretty sure it's part of the process

    If that makes sense

    Watch the film. George didn’t do near as poorly as people say he did. That right side collapse was really all on Waites.

    Sometimes all it takes is 1 play to mess if all up and that hustle on the interception was key...

    When you spend a third of the snaps trying to bail out the guy next to you, yes, things can go wrong.

    All the issues point to the same person leading the ship into the abyss

    might as well start Caden Johns at RT then, Waite has already spent 4 years in the system, should have worked by now.

    Damien George is the least deserving starter on this team. Ridiculous being anointed a Captain. It's like selecting a nominee who has no votes... no wait.

    Why not just let our best OL player Barber be the starter every play and our second best OT by PFF grade Devon Manuel play RT. What other team worth a damn against a ranked opponent is shuffling in 8-9 guys on the OL?

    Are you not aware of the clip of George completely loafing after the INT, making absolutely zero effort to run down the play? It's gotten national media coverage... to name this guy a captain is ridiculous.

    Maybe we can fix our right-side OL problem. I wonder if it's legal to play two guards and two tackles on one side and just roll that way on every play. ;)

    "Didn't do nearly as poorly" is not the ringing endorsement one would expect for a captain.

    That 13 second clip on Twitter? That’s a lazy assessment. Watch some film.

    If this isn't a defining example of the "everybody gets a trophy" mindset among the Gator coaching staff, I don't know what else would be.

    So, would George be in Urban's Champion's Club?

    George did not play well. He only looked good in comparison to Waites.

    It would be boring to have the same captains every week for every game.

    What else do we want to complain about?
