Georgia offense ready to 'open up the playbook' for LSU in SEC Championship Game
Georgia's offense is ready to spring plays on LSU that it hasn't run all season, but Jake Fromm says it still comes down to winning one-on-one battles
Comments
Yes! Time for the super secret playbook. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Well, here's the thing... EVERY game should utilize your entire playbook just to keep the opposing defense from guessing your plays. If they predict a run up the middle and you do, then it doesn't matter if you have the best RBs in the nation, the D WILL STOP YOU.
I'm not talking about "trick plays" but different formations and combinations.
The offense is so antiquated as is that I picture the playbook as either on a parchment scroll or some kind of Middle Ages illuminated manuscript. “And verily thou shalt forsaketh all long passes. Runneth thou the ball only into the middle of the line. Runneth not the ball unto either sideline.”
If UGA "fans" are this negative about our team, I guess they don't mind fans of other teams trashing us. I know these "fans" are the very small number of "screech owls" that we seem to be blessed with. I support members of our football team whether they win or lose. GO DAWGS kick some cajun a$$!!!
I'm really hoping for the best, but my wishful thinking that Coley was holding stuff back from the playbook evaporated as I watched the Gamecocks rip up our hedges.
Or did that game not matter to him?
Go dogs.
I hope they don’t try to be something they’re not, and try to match LSU blow for blow because we’ll lose. Time of possession, the run game (not on first down, second down every series) and for the love of Larry Munson, a slant here and there with the occasional throw down field on a play action should be enough to keep the score close without tiring out our defense
but if we try and get cute with trick plays, or our traditional run, run, pass it could be a long afternoon. Fromm and company need to convert first downs to give our defense some rest.
the reason why Auburn, Texas A & M had opportunities to come back was because our offense wasn’t converting first downs and then our defense tires out in the 4th quarter
“It’s about winning first downs, and how we can win our one-on-one battles,” Fromm said. “All 11 guys are playing for the team, but it kind of revolves around winning the one-on-ones. So we have to win our one-on-ones, and we have to win on first down.” Pretty much says it all, Jake. Convert on first! All this new playbook, new look stuff and prattle could mean trouble for the offense. If it doesn't run smoothly, LSU will capitalize quickly. Better refine what UGA already practices and get that down pat. Fromm needs to stretch out his passing arm a bit and get the ball into the hands of long-run receivers...accurately! Made some bad throws against TECH. We reprise a lot of this talk becuase it keeps happening game after game. We all know UGA lost most of its receivers. Rebuilding is tough! Cager, gone....so FRESHMAN Pickens now leads in stats. He is out for first half of game...one whole half...that is a lot against an excellent team like LSU!! Play what you know and play it hard! GO DAWGS!
Opening up the playbook sounds good! Georgia will have to score at least 31 and control the clock to win.
The LSU defense is not great but it will still take the Dawg's best game on offense to get it done.
GOOOODAWGS!
Wazzo, that was a pretty funny comment. But, being an 80's kid, growing up watching Herschel dot the "I" and run by and over opposing defenses, I have to admit to a small sense or arousal during the Tech game when I saw Fromm under center and do a toss pitch. I'm still imagining it. Ooohhhhh. Sorry. But it's been such a long time, for me. HAHA! As antiquated as it is, the toss pitch works. But any judgement of future success must be withheld on account it was against Tech, that it worked. I would love to see the I formation with a "fullback" plowing the road for Swift and company and watch a frustrated LSU defense try to find a way to stop a play they know is coming.
I'll believe it when I see it. 🙂
Why didn't we "open up the playbook" when we were about to lose to a terrible S Carolina team? The most important game of the year and our players will just now see these plays in competition? I hope they have been practicing them OFTEN in practice. I am not so sure about saving anything more than a few plays for "the big game."
EXACTLY
"Open up the playbook" is smoke and mirrors. An average highschool d coordinator could scheme up our offense...
Mike - the playbook is not the problem. Our problems stem from poor execution. Hopefully, all of our offensive components will be primed and ready to execute whatever play that is called, without the costly penalties, drops, fumbles, missed blocks, or poorly thrown balls.
We need all hands on deck to tame those tigas.
You mean they've been holding back the good stuff? OK Jake, make me a believer.
We'll see won't we?
