The big number that explains Georgia football pass rush problems: ‘It needs to get better’
Kirby Smart knows Georgia’s pass rush hasn’t been as ferocious as it was a season ago. He acknowledges it has to get better as the Bulldogs navigate the trickiest part of their schedule.

I've also noticed that quarterbacks are slipping away from pass rushers a bit more this year. We are getting hands on a guy, but not bringing him down as often.
Good article about a very important subject.
By all measures our defense is terrific, but it needs to improve.
Exactly how this is supposed to come about is beyond my understanding. Some improvements simply take time to occur. We are a very young team.
Go, Dawgs!
To my eyes UGA hasn't blitzed as much as last year. Why should they? They are winning w/o blitzing. May be saving those looks for TN and AL? I would not blitz FU. I would spy AR15 and make him beat you passing. Not sure FU has the WR's and QB accuracy to beat UGA.
DL and blitzes will be necessary to repeat this season. Had hoped for more from MWilliams and MJones as athlete's with fresh legs and quick bursts. NSmith is undersized and RBeal is not super athletic. Expected JCarter to consistently collapse the pocket but he has been hurt all season. Carter is the 1 player that is irreplaceable on this team. Need them all to step up.
Have to make the best QB's throw it when they don't want to meaning with pressure on them whether we get to them or not. If any of the next QB's we play get comfy in the pocket, it will be a long day. Richardson is going to take off and run at first pressure so you do have to spy him with someone faster than he is but big enough to tackle him also..
Disruptive pass rush BUT still containing a mobile QB is just as important as a sack. Hooker and Richardson must be contained or they will run all over the field. Need a spy to keep an eye on both of them - Hooker especially. Not sure if a lot of heavy blitzing packages will work for us this year with our inexperience in the secondary.
I sure Hope Carter can be back 100% as soon as possible. Don’t know if it would be a good idea or not but if he’s only say 90% when we play the mud lizards rest him for TN ?? We Should be able to get the W on them even without Carter. NO it wouldn’t be easy without him but I think very doable . Same for Mondon he’s been dealing with injury to. We will need ALL hands on deck for the Vols. No I’m not discounting the mud lizards in Jax as strange things happen there. But I just have Faith that our Dawgs can when the dust settles chalk a W even with a few key players out. Hope I’m right !! But the Vols are gonna be a heaping handful, and my confidence level would be much higher with both Carter and Mondon back and as close to 100% as possible. Our Offense MUST pace the rest of these teams by scoring More than they do. Can’t kick FGs in exchange for the rival’s TDs either !! Lastly we need our Defense to create as many turn overs as possible, and our O sure better convert those to points !! Go Dawgs !!
