Talk about a keen grasp of the obvious! 😂😂😂
Yeah....cause, if they got more from their Tight Ends....WHAT??
What more would have been accomplished....on Top of an SEC Championship & 1st Round CFP Bye?.
They would've won the last game they lost?. Lol...c'mon. ESPN is so full of Buffalo feces...it's starting come out their mouths. Lol
Go Dawgs!!!
or…we wouldn’t have to beg them to not transfer when we don’t utilize them enough and then overpay them.
Or…we could get defenses to quit quicker and we could play some backups
or…we could consistently move the chains against a playoff team and keep their talented QB off the field
just because it’s coming from espn doesn’t automatically make them wrong
Bobo's brain doesn't process fast enough to use our tight ends effectively. Monken was great. Bobo is a joke, dragging everyone down with him.
he’s no Mike Price that’s for sure!
Wow, Beach didn't have any typos today. He must have someone there helping him. Lol lol lol
Been screaming this for a few years now. You’d think it would be glaringly obvious to the offensive staff (with the success of Bowers & Big-0 and continued high-level recruiting at the position) but it isn’t 🤷♂️
Dawgs are indeed loaded at TE as we are well aware of. I don’t say this to bash on him in any manner. But I hope Mike Bobo can come up with plays that best utilize them. In no certain order Williams, Barbour, and Prothro can be Huge for the Dawgs if used right.
Speaking only for myself there are times that Bobo can be brilliant. Other times the exact opposite. My biggest gripe with Bobo is his tendency to keep using a play or plays plural that are not working.
It’s almost like he’s thinking the rival would never expect me to run this same play again !! But you’re not gonna sneak up on a good defense very often. Execution is the key to it all. You find the plays your players are really good at and run those plays whether the good rival defense knows it or not.
You execute at such a high level that they Can’t stop you !! Bobo is Not s t u p I d about football. He’s either played or coached it most all his life. He has the knowledge. But he try’s to play chess a little to much and out think the rival. And that’s his Achilles heel.
Just get plays for his RBs, TEs, WRs they are best at. Practice those plays till they’re doing them in their sleep and run Em in the real games. Course it’s All easy for Me from my recliner. Shucks back in the day I was the best first baseman to ever play football !! 🤣
If we threw to TEs say 75 times when we were champs then why not set that as a goal and that doesn't mean throwing to them 25 or 30 times in the cush games. Less screens and more throws to the TEs would appear to be called for with all the talent in the TE room.
When I played the game, there was never a pass play for just one receiver, there were always progressions or several check downs to go to, of which I can assure you, one would be the tight end. So how many targets the tight ends get are often at the discretion of the QB. Of course the ability of the tight end to get open would also play a major role in how many targets they got. It's five hundred zillion years 'til Sep 5—Miss you Larry.
All this hyperventilating about "a downward trend in TE Production"....reminds me of the years after Herschel Walker left. The "downward trend in RB Production" was approached with the same blinders on.
Even Terrell Davis didn't quell the fears and critiques. Lol....Garrison Hearst gave us hope that UGA's RB Production was back on track.
Man!....those kind of players don't take the field EVERY year. They are Unicorns. It's futile to compare "Bowers' TE-Room Production"....to "Post-Bowers TE Production". You'll be disappointed every time. Just sayin'.
In any offense....if the Production of one skill position group goes UP....another skill position group must come DOWN.
Whether it's WR's or RB's or the QB.....somebody has to give up reps, in order for somebody else to get more reps. It's simple geometric logic. Lol
So...if TE Production went DOWN. Who's Production went UP?
Terrell Davis wasn’t like that at Georgia.
Branch and the RBs got a lot of that production. But the offense seemed to be much more efficient with Brock Bowers and Darnell Washington don’t you think?
Lol....ýep....they operated like a machine. But....they had a more experienced offensive line.
I think Kirby and Bobo were depending on the TE Group, to help an inexperienced Ò-line open holes and act as decoys. To try to buy some time for Stockton to get some intermediate to long range throws in.
Not to mention stretching out the #reps/drive to give the offensive line, as many reps as possible for the sake of experience.
I don't see them taking that tack this year. It's "full speed ahead...**** rhe torpedoes"...this year. Lol...i.e., they're Ready! Imo.
