Do we have the veteran leadership to win the SEC East?

Two words: Jarrett Guarantano

He has the leadership skills to get us there. I believe he grew up a lot last year in terms of football experience, and he will have a ton more confidence this year (never underestimate the power of confidence). Additionally, he is not having to learn a whole new system for once in his career. Chaney also has a much better understanding of his skill set, and will design his passing game plans to play to his strengths. Add to this that his teammates love and respect him, and you have a winning combination. I said it earlier, and I'll say it again, he is going to surprise a lot of people this year.

All the JG doubters out there, you can flame on now. I can take it.

Leadership but “Deer in the Headlights’ play gets you nowhere.

I can see why you might think that, but I can only go off my experience. In my first couple of years of rugby I too had that "deer in the headlight" look a lot of times. By year three I had a better understanding of the game, but still suffered from it occasionally. However, when year four rolled around I had the confidence and understanding of the game to step on the pitch with all the swagger and ability to anticipate what the offense and defense (you play both ways in rugby) were trying to do. There was no game situation that made me uncomfortable. I, in turn, made the opposing team uncomfortable. While it is a similar but different game, I honestly feel JG is going to take that step this year.

We have about 18 starters back and Henry T. That should be a sound basis for Leadership. Just need Al Wilson on the sideline to give out that "Gorgon Stare" when necessary.
