ATHENS, Ga. -- Davin Bellamy isnt ready to give up on Georgias season.Sure, theres no more talk of contending for a championship, and the honeymoon is definitely over for rookie coach Kirby Smart. A home loss to Vanderbilt has a way of turning everything sour.But Bellamy, a junior outside linebacker, said the Bulldogs are eager to make a good impression the rest of the way.Youve still got that `G on your helmet, he said. Youve still got your last name on your back. Youve still got the family you build with your fellow players. And no one wants to give up on each other like that.Make no mistake, its a season on the brink after the shocking 17-16 loss to Vanderbilt two Saturdays ago.Georgia (4-3, 2/3 Southeastern Conference) has dropped three of its last four games, already matching the number of losses in each of the final two seasons under former coach Mark Richt. And it could be worse -- remember, the Bulldogs barely held off FCS school Nicholls and needed a fourth-down touchdown pass in the final minutes to knock off Missouri.With a remaining schedule that includes Saturdays game against No. 14 Florida, plus No. 15 Auburn and Georgia Tech down the road, Georgia faces the possibility of its worst showing since a 6-7 mark in 2010.Then again, a victory over the Gators (5-1, 3-1) could quickly turn things in the right direction.Smart is hoping the Bulldogs finally put together a complete performance Saturday in Jacksonville.I want to play our best game in all facets of the game, being able to be balanced on offense and being able to control the line on scrimmage on defense and play well in the kicking game, he said. Weve got to be able to do all three, and some of them have hit on all cylinders at all different times. We need them to hit all at the same time, especially when youre playing a defense of this caliber.There are areas of concern all over the field, from an offense still struggling to establish its identity to a defense that misses far too many tackles to special teams that was largely responsible for the Vandy loss.Freshman quarterback Jacob Eason is a convenient symbol of the teams uneven play. He threw for only 29 yards in a victory over South Carolina -- the worst showing for Georgias passing game in more than a quarter-century -- but followed with a career-high 346 passing yards against the Commodores.Or one could focus on the running game, which should be a major strength with Nick Chubb, Sony Michel and a couple of promising freshmen backing them up. Indeed, the Bulldogs nearly had three 100-yard rushers against the Gamecocks, only to be held to just 75 yards overall by Vandy, barely averaging 2 yards per carry.Smart figures the Gators are going to stuff the box and dare Georgia to beat them through the air, relying on the dynamic cornerback duo of Teez Tabor and Quincy Wilson to shut down the receivers in one-on-one matchups.Itll be interesting to see how they play us in some personnel groupings, be interesting to see how they play us outside, said Smart, whose team was off last week. Do they have respect for our receivers? I dont know. They dont usually. They just let their guys go play on an island.Smart is a defensive coach at heart, but that side of the field has been equally perplexing. Certainly, he doesnt put much stock in the Bulldogs largely shutting down South Carolina and Vanderbilt, two of the leagues worst offenses.Weve tried to simplify and play fast and get guys to play the right way, he said. The numbers have shown that thats been a help, but weve also probably played guys that were not as good offensively.Florida has dominated Georgia the last two seasons, including a 27-3 blowout in 2015 that effectively finished off Richts long tenure as the Bulldogs coach.If we were to win this game, receiver Isaiah McKenzie said, it just shows that we have a good team and we are capable of playing with anybody in the SEC.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 .

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Tight end?Eric Ebron walked slowly off the Detroit Lions practice field Monday morning, head down as he moved toward the weight room, ignoring questions from reporters who were being held at a distance.Ebron did not practice with the Lions on Monday after being carted off the field Saturday during the teams mock game at Ford Field. At the time, his injury appeared serious.The good news for Ebron is he was walking -- and doing so without a boot or a bulky brace on his right foot.While head coach Jim Caldwell refused to discuss the injury Monday, a source told ESPNs Adam Caplan that Ebron is dealing with a pretty decent [right] ankle sprain.Caldwell declined to say what happened to Ebron, how he felt to see him walking around or whether the injury would keep Ebron out for long. In the past, Caldwell has said when an injury would keep a guy out for a while.Im not going to discuss anything, Caldwell said. Im not going to get into prognosticating. Im not the doctor or anything. Im not going to talk about that.Caldwell would only say well see when asked if Ebron would practice this week when Detroit and Pittsburgh hold joint practice in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, and whether he would play in Fridays preseason opener at Pittsburgh.Caldwell also declined to say much about what he thought when Ebron initially went down Saturday.One of the things that happens in our game is that youre going to have some injuriess, Caldwell said.dddddddddddd Things happen all the time that way, but you hope they dont. But sometimes they do.With Ebron out, veteran Matthew Mulligan and undrafted rookie Cole Wick took first-team reps. The Lions now have their top three tight ends out with injury. Brandon Pettigrew remains on the physically unable to perform list while recovering from a torn ACL. Tim Wright is out for the season with a torn ACL and then theres Ebron.Ebron spent Monday on the side trying to tutor Wick, often explaining things to him between reps.Hes definitely been a great mentor, Wick said. Hes helping me out where I need help on and if Im taking a step too shallow or something, hes there to tell me. Just really helping me out as far as everything goes, on routes, footwork and blocking and everything like that.Ebron, who is expected to be the Lions top tight end this season, was having a strong camp. Earlier this preseason, the No. 10 pick in the 2014 NFL draft called the 2016 season a make it or break it season. The Lions have to make a decision on Ebrons fifth-year option during this coming offseason.Lions general manager Bob Quinn also declined comment on Ebrons injury Monday. Detroit did make a roster move Monday, but it was a back-end move flipping wide receivers instead of picking up a tight end. ' ' '
