Georgia Week- what are your thoughts?

[SkullDuckery]

He was still baited into throwing two terrible interceptions that game. Regardless of what is going on offensively, those passes should’ve never been thrown.

Yep, but all that goes hand in hand.

We need to make sure we are sound in the run defense and keep UGA off schedule. I think Beck has 2 INT’s in him.

 

[Bama Lee]

I didn't say trickery. Fluky is the word I used. But you are referring to the main thing I was thinking. Our OL showed up and showed out in this game unlike at any other time last year. Remember how they looked against AU? But a week later they looked like a different team.

It wasn't luck or trickery but somehow we managed to play our best game of the year in that game but then turned around against UM and looked confused again.

Oh ok, that make much more sense

 

[CrimsonTusk]

My thoughts? We find out what we have.

Underrated post.

CNS is the best, but how tight he routinely coached against LSU and Auburn drove me crazy!

i can't wait to see how deboer handles those two and tennessee.

despite all of our warts last year, we were scrappy as hell. i don't get the feeling that has gone away. i think if we can just avoid repeatedly stepping on our own junk, we will be in a good position to win at the end of the day.

I honestly think that would be foolish. He's good for a 17 year old but he's not Julio Jones or something at least not right now. If they did that we'd have another speedy WR running open. Our offense doesn't run through Ryan Williams like that at this point he's just a good weapon

It was foolish to put two spies on Milroe in the SECCG, but Kirby did it and did it all game.

I was saying this the other day. With how Milroe showed out running the ball at Wisconsin, Kirby has to be sweating wondering what to do.

Agreed!

CNS conservatism cost us the Iron Bowl in 2010.

If we keep the pedal to the metal in that game, the barn and $cam never win the game or go to the NCG.

 

[Bama Lee]

They are supposed to have a very good Defensive Backfield. So I bet they'll do everything they can to stop the deep ball.

Probably comes down to who wins the OL/DL matchup when we are on offense and whether we can establish a run with our RBs and JMs legs.

If they stop the deep ball and shut down the running game, we won't win.

That’s a huge if… not many teams can do both.

 

[JDCrimson]

Our OL didnt have to block the 2 spies last year...

The only thing that scares me about this game is our secondary. The first 3 teams we have played have had open receivers way down field and fortunately for us those 3 quarterbacks were not accurate. Carson Beck is accurate.

We may have to live with some short completions to keep everything in front of us.

 

[Windsortide]

Another plus is that Kirby has to watch film on DeBoer, Deboer has Saban to help on Kirby!

Correct, plus we have a new system on offense and defense. The whole SEC was prepared for us the last 4 seasons.

 

[JDCrimson]

I do what USF did crash the line fill every gap to stop the run no matter who is running the ball. Bracket cover WRs and force JM to throw to the Slot, TE, and RBs.

If JM struggles, bring in TS against this same defense and he will carve them up Thanksgiving turkey.

[Cruloc]

I expect them to try to do exactly that. But I just don't think they have the talent to do it. We have too many weapons and we're too explosive.

But I have said that this is the game that will determine who will be QB1 for the rest of the season.

If JM plays well, or if the staff can scheme around his strengths well enough for us to win, he is the man.

If not, I expect to see TS get a valid shot to show what he can do.

I don't think Ty comes in unless...1. Milroe is injured...or 2. Georgia has shut us down so completely with Milroe that we have no choice to try something.

That was usually the case with Bennett, and if I’m not mistaken we dropped at least two of Becks. Seems like every time we face them turnovers usually come at an opportune time for us (ex: forced fumble in SECCG, Battle pick-6, INT to end a Georgia drive in our territory in 2020)

I mean, good luck.

That OL line-up was terrible and made USF look a lot better than they are, and Bama played a really vanilla offense. Whether or not that offense has been vanilla due to DeBoer keeping his hand close to the vest or the lack of time to install it remains to be seen, but I suspect Bama has played a really vanilla playbook offensively and defensively so far.

 

[CajunCrimson]

Personally I feel pretty good about the game.

 

[deltatider]

Bama and UGA are similar in that both are more talented than a large majority of the teams they play…so while there have been some offensive schemes that could cause problems for both defenses, the talent gap would eventually win out. The fist fight games were usually with the few teams that had the talent to go with the scheme. So I’m interested in seeing if we can cause the UGA defense some issues from a schematic standpoint matched with elite talent.

My concern on offense is if the UGA defense is able to hold up against the run and speed up the game for Milroe by having success getting pressure on him. Milroe tends to struggle with decisions and execution in general at times when a team is able to speed up his decision making process. That said, I think a key to this game could be if Milroe were to make a few explosive runs on pass plays that breakdown. Milroe is good at designed runs, but he’s a complete handful when he’s decisive on pulling it down when the pass or protection isn’t there. If he can make explosive plays even when the defense does everything right, then I like our chances even more.
