Sorry folks, for doubling up, but just one more thought.
Alabama is now an offensive juggernaut, great. So, who believes Alabama would have ended up w/8 yards rushing against MSU, even w/a loaded box? Just a question.
It's all good, Dawg-Pounders. Just thinking that KS might be going through a transition: Assistant to Head Coach. There is a reason Saban is 22-0 against former assistants. The skills are not the same.
But Kirby's a Dawg all day long. So he gets a very long leash. Which I totally support. Just hurry up, dude! And stop trying to "out-scheme" everybody. Just play football.
BTW, loved JT's comment about when he got comfortable. After the first dumb throw and getting hit. "Okay, it's football." Yep. X's and O's and beating the dude across from you. Kirby plays a linebacker in a 3-front, wow, how clever. Give me a break. If the other team is ripping you up, might you want to toss out the clever and get down to the physical?
Just an illustration, back to Alabama (our measuring stick, which we should welcome -- gotta take down the champ to be the champ). Which do you rate the most intimidating: (A) Kirby jumping up and down on the sidelines and screaming like a (fill in), or (B) Saban ripping off his headset and staring down a referee?
Hey, maybe Nick just can't jump these days. And anybody who buys that needs to NOT buy a lotto ticket.
Go Dawgs!
The talent showed up, where's the coaching?
This was not Kirby Smart football. This was not Kirby Smart's first choice for QB. This was not Kirby Smart's win.
Kirby instructs the two best components of his last win. Leaves out why he should be taken to ye olde woodshed himself.....8 yds rushing!!! Cannot break the MSU defensive code against the run. Plays zone far too deep. Check-downed to a fair thee well. This is not even 2.0, Kirby and you are nitpicking the guys who just gave you a win....that should easily have been a loss? JT handed you that win....period. I do not believe Stetson would have. It is good to praise and not always dip into the "they gotta do better" till. JT did what he said he would do....win! Burton made some really solid catches....yes, he blew it a couple times on assignment, but this kid has potential and will be a UGA star. What I am saying is...these young men need to be encouraged publicly as well as mentored. Keep it family at UGA.
"A lot of room for improvement!" Does KS not realize how bad that statement makes him look. It is not necessary or appropriate to critique your players in public on minor points when overall their performance was off the chart. This comment was not made after the game when someone stuck a mic in his face. This comment was made two days later when KS had ample time to think abut how this comment would sound. KS is a great recruiter, but to borrow a phrase he has "a lot of room for improvement".
JT needs to improve “In terms of protections and understanding where Trey (Hill) has things going, and where he is pointing things." Seriously? I think there were too many bad snaps throwing off the timing of the play.
guess im not that bright cuz even though it was south carolina there was defenitley not 7 or 8 guys in the box and look what happened the safeties played back line backers played normal and het the run game took off ,, if u have to respect the deep ball and the pass game you cant load up on the run ,, football 101 sir
