Monday, Monday

Happy second week of practice. Georgia has its first and only two-a-day on Monday, with a morning special teams practice and a full afternoon practice. Both in shells.

We'll hear from coach Mark Richt this evening, after the second practice. Selected defensive players are available after the morning round.

In the meantime, here's a story on Kirby Smart ... wait, why Kirby Smart, you say? Well that's because Alabama's Nick Saban, well you may have heard he can keep his assistants on a bit of a tight leash with the media, so Sunday's media day in Tuscaloosa was a rare chance to catch up on Smart's decision to stay at Alabama rather than come home to Georgia.

Meanwhile, former Georgia defensive end Geno Atkins had a great start to his pro career, if an exhibition game can count. Atkins led Cincinnati with six tackles, and also had a sack, in the NFL Hall of Fame Game against Dallas.
