I don't know if Beck will lead us to the promise land (national championship) but he is going to be much better than most people give him credit for.
Let's not forget quarterbacks like Eason of Fields that were TOO highly regarded coming into UGA.
I don’t think it was spread. No screen passes. No swing routes to the running backs. Very little motion.
It’s a spread.
Not critiquing but starting at “most importantly....” to end of the paragraph what you describe is Fromm in high school. Not saying they are at all the same but description of what I would expect to see about Fromm. Highly intelligent and team oriented. Hopefully main difference is mobility and feel in the pocket for Beck.
Very unorthodox spread then. Urban Meyer didn’t play an offensive series without some type of screen play.
When u watch his o line miss every block the highlights start to stand out a little more. Dudes gonna be a baller
I think I'm getting the hang of it. Takes practice I guess
I think you’re right
That’s ridiculous. Fields wasn’t TOO highly regarded.
So_Flo says foe show
Umm, we had all kinds of motion almost every play. We definitely tried swing routes and bubble screens to our detriment, although most of the swing routes were more to Cook in an h-back/slot kind of position. We tried to run more traditional screens too, but our OL, frankly, seemed really bad at it.
I dont know a ton about X's and O's of football but wouldn't the lack of over the middle throws affect the run game as it frees up middle line backers to key in on the run more. Back in 2017 we threw a ton of short quick slants etc and feel like that helped create space at the line of scrimmage. Something we did none of this year. My opinion on another reason run game wasn't as good. Could be completely wrong. Question... What does a deep sideline pass do to open up the run? Proving I don't know anything about x and o but just curious so I can understand more
I don’t think Beck struggles with confidence. I think he’s comfortable with who he is and what he does well. Everyone was so excited about Stroud potentially coming. Beck didn’t flinch in that pursuit and welcomed the competition. Both late bloomers, but one plays football in the south, 8A ball; Beck understood how much of a religion it is. Wouldn’t have been surprised to see Stroud gone after 21. I do think that was a factor in his choice, easier path at OSU.
I also think since 2017, Fromm’s confidence has been up and down. Very confident when no expectations. Not confident in 2018 until he was chosen to finish the season and no more QB shuffle. Didn’t exude confidence in 2019, which has been well documented this year. The general can never flinch, or the troops will too.
Sometimes having the kid that doesn’t know any better who just wants to play ball, is more impactful than the vet who understands the full weight of expectations. That burden is too heavy for some.
Beck is probably the best system for this year of all the QBs that we’re highly regarded. I’m excited to see both him and Mathis in the spring.
We've got 9 early enrollees so far. 5 on offense and 4 on defense. Does anybody know off the top of their head if Ringo, Washington or Evans are early enrollees?
Only Evans I believe
