You make mistakes - that's a given. How you respond, that set's people apart.
Lassiter will learn from this, Kirby has little patience with communications errors. Lassiter's coverage was not good. Sub-in Everett. ..this kid is on fire.
ALL the young DB's need to grow up fast. Thankfully early enrollee Everette is making nice progress.
"Communication error" means he missed his assignment and was probably in the wrong coverage. Is that the 2nd time (remember JDJ going off on him?)?
Apparently the UGA D is more complicated than thought. Formations and keys must be read and interpreted the same by all DB's or you end up with a wide open Davonte Smith scoring in OT on a 2nd and 26.
Sometimes simpler is better. If UGA's athlete's at DB can mirror TN's WR's it might be easier/more effective to play man to man. Crowd the WR's and try to bring some pressure from somewhere.
Both TN and AL use a lot of short drops and have the ball coming out quickly. If you are reading keys at the snap, reacting and adjusting coverage while WR's are running down the field you better have good tacklers in the secondary because they will be completing a lot of passes.
If they go with man coverage, they better put a solid hit on these speedy WR’s at the line of scrimmage (I’m talking about standing them straight up or even knock them back a step). This will help with interrupting the timing routes, and giving the pass rush an extra second to pressure the QB.
Go Dawgs!
Disrupting timing is another benefit (and necessary component) to tight man to man and keeping TN/AL from playing pitch and catch.
I noticed it today watching TN. Good teams make it look like playing pitch and catch. But the key is great pass protection. Good teams with great pass protection seem to play pitch and catch.
UGA's lack of pocket pressure is very concerning.
