There are 18 threads going about our season and Fromm, coaching, RB'S etc. Take it there please. Keep just one thread on topic like this one....
Any elite skill position player who is thinking about UGA should see that game last night and realize the plays are being called correctly, but the success is on those plays is terrible BC WE DON'T HAVE THE GUYS TO GET IT DONE.
If you're elite, it is CLEAR you csncsucceed here, and just look at Pickens when he came in the game.
Coley is calling great offense but we just don't have the dudes to pull it off.
I guarantee you Kirby and the staff are talking to offensive recruits about this very thing.
It will work out for us yall.
When does Theo commit again ?
Well said, my thoughts as well
If the staff pulls off a te the caliber of tj or dw and some top flight wrs after this years offense this will be their best recruiting job yet. They are selling trust and promises with no proven results.
Tomorrow
Big .....
December 9th
Why would a top TE pick us? I’ve heard for years and years how we’re gonna utilize the tight end. Never happened - even when we had really good ones (Nauta). I know the staff can sell a recruit on “see what you can bring” but the reality is we just don’t use the tight end. Hopefully that changes.
Different TE coach, different plays can be called with an elite TE, early PT.
Just need 1 top dawg Te to commit to changing the room and that narrative
We had a top TE in Nauta and our QB wouldn’t/couldn’t get him the ball. Nautas best year was his freshman year with Eason when he split time with Jeb Blazevich.
Its not the scheme. The TEs are available. As terrible as Fields looked when he was in games for us last year, he got the ball to Nauta at a high clip. TEs are available but whether its sight lines, comfort throwing between the hashes, or TEs completing the catch when given the opportunity, we’ve failed at the position this year.
All 3 of these targets know the TE is available. We could miss on all 3, we could land 2/3. But its not the scheme.
His best year was his last year where he had a career best in yards and receptions. Don't get too caught up in stars as nauta was as fast as a Walmart, but was a very good blocker.
An athletic TE that can block and is quick on routes would change the dynamic.
His numbers were SLIGHTLY better last year but played much less his Freshman year. His production per snap was much higher his Fr year than last. He was on the field much more last year and wasn’t utilized.
To the I d I o t who off topiced (OT) me, I included adding an athletic TE would change that. Reading can be difficult for some folks.
Also, one has to consider the other players on the field (before a OT, I'm setting up the recruiting part ;). If a team has numerous playmakers at WR (like 2018), then expect for the ball to go to them more than a TE, unless that TE is very special.
UGA has not had a very special TE in years. For my little OT guy, Theo Johnson is one that changes that for UGA. He is very athletic and a mismatch for defenses. He also would be one of the better athletes on offense.
Washington is a sticks mover and a red zone threat, not a polished route runner, but a huge asset none the less and needed for this offense.
