GradyJ, Georgia happened to have over a dozen people that were appealing to the 11th circuit that got their appeals denied close together. The Supreme Court also denied their appeals close together so Georgia had a record amount of executions because their inmates finished their appeals in a clump. GA right now has around 10 people at the 11th right now, and one who was denied by the Supreme Court. If both of those courts start denying more people GA may execute a large number of people again. They likely won't ever reach 2016 heights ever again. I don't know when they will start picking up again since the courts seemed to have slowed to a snails pace this year.
