When Georgia defensive line coach Tray Scott had an opportunity to begin hands-on instruction with his players, he wasted no time making a statement.

At some point during spring practice, the first-year Bulldogs' position coach walked into the defensive line meeting room with a long chain that weighed about 40 or 50 pounds.

Georgia's group of frontline defenders were puzzled at the time about the message being conveyed.

“What does this mean?” said Georgia sophomore defensive tackle Tyler Clark.

About a week later, those within the unit -- ranging from the developing freshman talents of Robert Beal and Malik Herring to the highly-touted veterans like Trenton Thompson -- were able to quickly gain grasp of Scott's reasoning.
