It's easy to blame the various offensive players for the slow starts and lack of explosive plays. But who is responsible for the training and conditioning of these players? Who is responsible for the offensive game plan and schemes? I'm sorry, but our current OC obviously learned very little to nothing from his outstanding predecessor. Our OC has a record of unimaginative, predictable, repetitive play calling. I believe if we don't learn from history, we are doomed to repeat prior mistakes from during the previous tenure of our current OC. Our QB executes the plays that the OC sends him. Not a good policy to hire friends and family. Hope this does not cost us a historic threepeat opportunity.
Makes sense. More so than a heavy dose of BB's running. IMO BVG needs to see a series or 2 a game outside of mop up time. He will need it if Beck gets banged up. Not sure you can bring BVG in and just run him. If the D knows it is a run they'll be ready. We are learning that Beck is ready for prime time. BVG is not ready for prime time. He needs to get ready for prime time in case he is needed.
@navydawg I think CKS let Bobo run 1 flea flicker earlier this year. A GA WR threw a TD pass last season. Was it KJackson? Occasional miss direction plays are good against over pursuing D's. MI does it all the time. I think 84 can do it. I also expect to see BB's try and throw a TD pass this year. He has done everything else.
You make a point and obviously CKS is also of the "beat the D into submission" school of thought. Wearing the opponent down is a very common strategy. KY will try to do that to UGA on saturday.
The emphasis on big/long scoring plays is because it is hard to score. It is even harder to score TD's in the red zone. UGA had stellar red zone scoring (TD's and FG's) last year but not red zone TD's last year. Drives requiring many plays are too much room for error (INT, fumble) and opportunity to stall on downs. Usually in big games FG's won't be enough to win it.
This year with the running clock rules there is less time to come back. To score quickly, make the other team come from behind and become 1 dimensional offensively is an even bigger advantage than it was.
Definitely like to answer a score w/a score; quick or driven. So far this O is missing DBell's dependability and speed at the WR position.
@Henddawg
Rereading your post it was clear you were talking about BVG not BB's. BB's getting the 1st down on a 4th down run vs AU had me thinking BB's not BVG.
I'm calling out ESPN Gameday's biggest weakness.

Dude is horrible.
