Monday's delay won't push anything back because Georgia was scheduled for an off-day Wednesday. Wednesday's opening will be the first chance for most of Georgia's coaches to see their players in live action. Only defensive line coach Rodney Garner has any experience coaching the current group of Bulldogs. Richt and Georgia's eight new assistants have seen their players in off-season drills and conditioning work but never live on the field in a coaching capacity. Everything is open.
Some guys do unbelievable in drill work.
Then they go out there on the field and they are not as good a player as they were in those drills. Then there are always guys who may not do as well in the drill work and then are players. The Bulldogs will work ones against ones at times during the spring. Cory Phillips will open the spring as the No. 1 quarterback. ''Until we work with them up close and see how they fit what we're trying to do, there are a lot of questions to be answered,'' Richt said. All of Georgia's spring practices will be closed to the public, although its spring scrimmages ''probably'' will be open, Richt said.
