“He’s a beast,” Georgia coach Mark Richt said. “No one man has blocked him and I haven’t really seem any double teams block him either. He’s a problem.”
Chiefly responsible for blocking Cody will be Georgia’s new starting center, Ben Jones. Jones (6-3, 304) is a true freshman. He’s also from Centreville, Ala.
“Ben’s a good ol’ country boy and he loves a challenge,” said Davis, who’ll likely team up with Jones against Cody often. “He’s not scared at all, you can see it in his eyes. He’s anxious. It’s his hometown team, Alabama, and I think he’s accepting this well.”
The problem with a guy like Cody is he’s pretty much guaranteed to take up two blockers. This shorts you a lineman to block the linebacker, and the Tide has a tough one in the middle in sophomore Rolando McClain (6-4, 249).
“He’ll pierce you,” Richt said. “That’s the term our offensive coaches used. He pierces people.”
