Losers: us fans!
The team we watched on Saturday were not focused and looked like a junior varsity game from high school. I believe us fans deserve an apology from the coaches.
Winners: Elite recruits looking for the chance to play.
Losers: Elite recruits looking for the chance to play.
Losers are the fans because we’re kept on the dark about what’s going on in the athletic department and the beat reporters can’t get us answers to the QB or any other position situations.
Well to continue the title thought, should the Dawgs play like the same this Saturday; they will be losing s lot of fans to Masters watching instead. sure would love to see at least one series from our other two QB's.
I truly felt the mental edge and focus Kirby had when he started at Georgia was in a better place than it is now. He had his fans believing we were going to arrive to the promise land....and we were sooo close. You can see that due to injuries, attrition and at times poor decision making, the distance to arriving to the CFB NC is growing. I feel like the coaching as of now is overall at a good place, but we have to get a QB and develop our young offensive playmakers we recruited over the past two years to close that gap. With Brock coming on campus next year, I feel like the next 2-3 years Kirby has to get us back and win the big one.
Go Dawgs
Smart: Just. Put. In. Daniels. Let him fail and then we'll shutup.
Thanks.
Georgia Fans.
Saturday's game confirmed it that there is obviously something going on with JT other than his knee or talent. Something to so with insurance from what I hear on here. No way he couldn't outperform Bennet and Mathis.
If Beck is ever going to emerge at Georgia, the time is now - not waiting until after another off season in the program. With the lousy QB play so far this year it's infuriating that we haven't seen Beck or JT take a snap yet. Nothing to lose at this point.
I agree that we don't have much to lose by playing Daniels now. However, don't count it as a foregone conclusion that Florida won't blow it down the stretch. With COVID and injuries still a real possibility, I just don't take anything for granted in 2020. Let's see how the rest of the season plays out -- but I agree with others that I'd at least like to see Daniels, and Beck for that matter, take some legitimate snaps just to see where they stand. Or fall.
The Dawgs were simply out executed. Too much is being made about Monken, Lanning, their defensive gameplan, and Mullen outcoaching Kirby.
It really wasn't so much a scheme win for the Gators as it simply was the combination of the Dawgs not having a QB to hit open WRs and the Dawgs not having Pickens, Davis, and LeCounte.
Yes, it is Kirby's fault that the Dawgs have yet to play JT Daniels, so that's on him, but the fact UGA was missing their best 3 players showed up time and time again.
Davis is the anchor of this line that eats up double teams, and he allows those around him to run more freely. His absence showed up in their lack of getting near and around Trask enough to disrupt his timing, and it forced the secondary to cover longer. This was completely evident in the inability of UGA to collapse the pocket, when Trask was allowed to step up in the pocket time and time again to make big plays..
It isnt just enough to watch Davis' replacement, and be like, "well they didn't really miss him that much, Logue, Stackhouse, etc. they all played well against the run." It just is not the same, Dacus us a mammoth man that opposing coordinators are forced to adjust their blocking schemes towards. Nothing against those guys, but they are clearly NOT at that stage of their careers just yet..
Pickens not being in the game took away their only guy that team's fear and gameplan for. The Gators were able to blanket Kearis Jackson, and it was just going to be tough for them to really get him open without anyone else that Florida feared..
Also, without having LeCounte, the Dawgs lost their team captain and their captain of their secondary. It was clear and obvious how big of an impact he has on the game without him in, and Florida took advantage time and time again. LeCounte just makes plays, he's always around the ball, and he has a knack for causing turnovers..Who knows what kind of plays LeCounte could have made, but he also allows for Cine to play alot more freely and for Cine to stick with his strengths. Webb ended up making a mistake from a blown coverage that instantly resulted in points for Florida and that ended up pretty much putting them out of the game with a back breaking score before halftime...
However, even with their terrible QB play, and even without their three best players in Pickens, LeCounte, and even without their anchor in Davis, the Dawgs STILL HAD CHANCES TO WIN THE GAME!!! Think about that for a second...As bad and as terrible as that game was, UGA still had several points in the game, where they could have matched, if not surpassed Mullen and the Gators..
Brock Vandagriff is a Single A QB, playing with and against 160-180 lb OL/DL . He will not be the answer next year for UGA's question at QB.....quite possibly never.
Other teams are loading the box against Georgia's offense to shut down the run because they know the deep ball threat with the current personnel is just not an issue.
