We've talked about the questions that most see with Georgia's offensive line and wide receivers.

Defensive line? On paper, there doesn't seem to be as much concern.

The Bulldogs return eight scholarship lettermen from last year and, unless injuries take a toll, there's no reason the defensive front should not be one of the team's bigger strengths.

Is Trenton Thompson ready?: Kirby Smart says so. Thompson's issues have been discussed a lot after his decision to sit out spring semester but, apparently, his issues are in the past. According to Smart, Thompson's shoulder is 100 percent, he's had a strong summer and the hope is he's ready to pick up where he left off after his MVP-performance in the Liberty Bowl. If so, he's in for a special year.

Pick to click: Thompson garners a lot of attention, and rightfully so, but watch out for Jonathan Ledbetter. The sophomore came on strong after having to sit out the first six games and really helped make a difference as far as the inside pass rush was concerned. A nice combination of strength and speed, Ledbetter has a chance to be one of the SEC's best.

Old Man River: Maybe it's just me, but it seems like John Atkins has been around forever. The most respected member of the defensive line, Atkins has come a long way since he first arrived and will be a key component at nose.

Another player to watch: That would be sophomore David Marshall. Marshall picked up his first sack in the opener last year against North Carolina, and like Ledbetter, gives Georgia a nice combination of power and speed from defensive end.

He's back: DaQuan Hawkins-Muckle made five starts in seven games before injuring his ankle against Florida and missing the rest of the year. Now healthy, the former Westlake standout is back and ready to give Atkins a hand at nose.

Future unclear: The last we've been told, freshman Devonte Wyatt has still not been able to enroll and it remains a question as to whether or not he will. Smart should have an update soon but, as of now, we're still waiting.
