Georgia is going to change up their pressure schemes. That much is clear from today's presser. Alabama is going to have to adjust.
Thoughts on last nights games and the big one
- Thread starter gymcoach
- Start date
Eight plays decide a football game.
on Twitter: "UGA LB Nolan Smith on Alabama: "I think the first time we played (Alabama), gave up a couple big plays. You change three plays in the game, and the whole game could be different - You can't have those small mistakes in those big games because it's a game of inches."" / TwitterThree mistakes CAN total 17 points.
Of course, the question is whether they're mistakes or getting beat head-to-head in a matchup of evenly matched guys, too.
I'm no genius, but I'm thinking the plan is that he's gonna have Bryce do a "first read", and if it isn't open, tell him to take off. Set it up as basically a "delayed draw" if nothing is open short.
Short outs are right up BoB's alley, too.
I'd like to see Young get to roll out some instead of being just in the pocket...at times vs Cincy that would have opened passing lanes vs being pressured. He doesn't seem to want to roll out or we don't scheme it that way...maybe BoB NFL preferences?
3 plays swung that game from dead even to a 17 point Alabama win. But any one of those 3 plays would have been enough for Alabama. Georgia needed all of those plays to go their way, plus something else.
New game. Start from scratch. Avoid turnovers. Because turnovers will likely decide this game, too.
BoB has done a miserable job with check down routes when Young is being blitzed. IMO, that has been his worst area.
i think it's more reinforcing their thoughts that the outcome of that game was largely based on them whiffing on a couple of plays. it's the same thing kirby was selling in his post-game presser.
It is fair and accurate. Flip those plays and it is anyone's game. So, don't let Georgia flip those plays.
compare and contrast. and this was after a last second loss and not a 3 quarter-long atomic wedgie. and it took 6+ weeks to get it right.
Rolling out against Cincy wasn't an easy task. They were smaller and quicker than the puppies. I think this is the primary reason the scheme against Cincy was so run heavy.
I think it's simpler than that - the staff saw the glaring difference in a real P5 team vs a G5 team in the trenches (there's a reason a vast majority of linemen come from the P5 conferences) and decided to run it until Cincy proved they could stop it. They never proved it.
The upfield/forward option pitch has been used 3x in the last 2 games. To me, that’s no accident.
I think we see it a bit more often on Monday.

UGA may give us more trouble this time with their defense. But we win this game with our defense on the field. I don’t think UGA can score more than 17.
Let me clarify since we agree: what I MEANT was, "BoB is so in love with the short pass and isn't very good at it", but I can see re-reading it how what I meant was not sufficiently communicated, either.
More of "this guy pretty much calls nothing but runs into the line and short passes when he shouldn't" was my point.
The players may have to win this one in SPITE of this guy quite frankly.
Also - I think we agree that the two big things here are going to be turnovers and penalties.
Cincy (Fickel et al) made the decision that they weren't going to let BY beat them. He had the corners to justify his faith in "okay, not that guy." What he didn't have, though, was Georgia's line. He made the only smart gamble he could, and B-Rob improved and got enough blocking to make them pay.
AT end of the day, whoever has the most wrinkles in their playcalling and is sucessful is likely to win. Bama is very good at adjustments... I think Golding is going to throw the kitchen at Bennett...
and we see this as somewhat of a down year defensively

Kirby already does that. Davis can't go more than two plays in a row without coming out to catch his breath...
