Incomplete, intercepted and complete - what’s the 4th. Sack.? I always heard it was 3 and only one was good via Darrell Royal
Sounds about right for you. You’re already whining like a 7 year old girl. Braiding hair just fits... you stated your point a couple dozen times, time to move on. I think we’d all like to see the TEs involved more, but we took what the defenses gave us and had our best offense since the Bobo era.
It's his attitude. Kirby has confirmed that.
You're like a child who expects to get the last word in.
If by 2 seasons ago you mean 2016/2017, Chaney did hit the then true freshman Nauta more, not a lot, but more.
You have to go all the way back to 1997 thru 2001 where Drew Brees connected with Tim Stratton for 2096 yards and 10 tds over 4 seasons to see a Chaney team utilize a TE consistently, but Brees is tailor made to connect with TEs.
He also Mychal Rivera for 562 in 2012 at Tenn and Luke Stocker for 417 in 2010 and 389 in 2009 at Tenn. Oh Hunter Henry had 920 yards over 2 seasons at Arky as well.
He needs to get it done here. None of those seasons were spectacular, but a total of 800 to 900 yards to our TEs over a season will be good enough.
Let’s add up how many comments on this thread we each have and see who’s the one trying to get the last word in.
Realistically, most teams that utilize TEs well they account for about a quarter of their passing yards. With Fromm getting 2600 yards, that’d put a consistent TE usage at 650 yards for this past season. So, maybe the issue is Fromm, should we replace him? Since he’s not getting to your quota. Or if Fromm isn’t the issue then it must be Chaney, and he should’ve given Chubb and Michel the ball less, since our TEs are more valuable. So many great choices, all so we can get our TEs several hundred more yards. Or basically a few more catches a game.
As others have said, Fromm was clearly more comfortable throwing to the outside and deep, aka where TEs usually aren’t. I’m sure he’ll work on any deficiencies he has in the offseason. So again, let’s take a wait and see approach in our offenses’ development overall.
Also, you say that all those Chaney tight end stats are not “spectacular,” you do realize those are all actually solid seasons, right? Only 4 tight ends in the FBS got more than 600 yards receiving this year. 400+ yards a season and you’re a well above average college tight end. Hayden Hurst with USCe, I think who we’d all consider an elite TE, had a total of 559 yards (7th best in FBS). Several TEs in this year’s mock drafts, who are considered top 5 TEs in the draft, had receiving yard totals in the 300s this year. So, based on Nauta’s freshman year, he’s already proven he can be drafted.
thank you. Players will be found, even in DII for crying out loud. Next topic?
My mistake it is three. This does not change the point.
His post doesn't mean he isn't a true fan & truthfully he is right when it comes to UGA TEs when it comes to us catching passes in our system. But I do also see the other side of the example given about our 1st year year the last 2 years adding the situation with OL also. Fromm will be better in his 2nd year with the addition of a way better OL also,so our TEs will catch more passes I truly believe in the upcoming years. His post doesn't mean he isn't a true UGA fan because he season things different from how you see things. If you understood football you would get his point but I'm wrong for saying that because 2 people can see the same thing but just see them differently. GoDawgs
Well, I'll say it again. This is a conversation with no purpose. Alabama has exactly ONE tight end playing in the NFL. ND and Stanford have 5. Who do we want to be? Why do we care about having a TE drafted in the early rounds? Georgia has always been about producing strong blocking tight ends who support the run game and who can catch passes. Thats not going to change. I think the low TE distribution was because defenses were playing closer to the ball because of our run game, which absolutely does take the TE out in a lot of situations. The reason Fromm led the NCAA in QB efficiency on deep routes is that we saw a lot of safeties creeping up and leaving single protection over the top with the safety then having to scramble to play catch up in coverage. Take what's given to you. Either way, I believe we see more of Woerner than Nauta. Kirby has singled Nauta out for not practicing well at least twice.
What a ridiculous statement.....just crazy
Truly. TE should be outlawed outside of the Power 5 conferences since they rarely produce NFL talent. Here are some more stats for you.
Most NFL teams have 3 active TEs on their roster. So right around 100 TEs in the NFL, with an average career of just over 4+ years. A lot of those guys were undrafted FA pickups. You know this because since 2008, the NFL has drafted an average of 14.9 TE per year. Only 8 TEs have been drafted in the 1st round during that span, and that includes the 3 from last year.
Amazing that we had like 6-7 TEs in the NFL like 10 years ago. We didnt win anything but at least we were producing NFL TE talent.
You are correct. the point remains the same and is valid today as it was back in Darrell Royal's day.
I'll keep practicing so I'll be as un-naive as you one day.
''A true UGA fan''.
That is the most childish argument of all.
