Shoulder injury or not, Carson Beck and the Georgia offense know what has to change
ATHENS — Carson Beck did his best to downplay the idea that he was playing through pain on Saturday.

I'm getting a little tired of hearing how "good" Kentucky is. We haven't seen how good "good" can be until we face AL, TX, MS, and TN, three of which will be on the vaunted "SEC road" (which Kirby might be over-amplifying)… and that makes me really uneasy. The only somewhat reassuring thing is Georgia tends to play to the level of its competition., so I expect to see it play better on those dates. But c'mon boys, take a deep breath, remember what you're capable of, and go make that happen with the preparation and confidence of an elite team… you still control your own destiny. Go Dawgs!
play calling must improve as well as Dbacks. Bama got a young kid at WR that can fly
"Georgia had only 63 yards of offense"
🙃
Don't blame the players. Bobo has relapsed again. He forget everything Monken told him. Kirby, never hire your family or friends. It never works out very well.
I get that all want to lay the blame on Bobo and I'll concur, the play calling needs much more spice for sure. My concern is the inability to execute spicier plays. The execution was so poor against UK that is was difficult to tell if the plays being called were bad or the offense just couldn't execute. Beck can't hit open receivers more than 10-yards down field and that is always going to greatly limit the play book. UK was playing 9 within 7 yards of the LOS knowing deep balls weren't much of a threat. I love Beck and his story but we have to fact it - he is a pretty good QB on a very good team and not a great QB on a good team. Watching Milroe and Nico hit receivers on long balls in stride shows what the UGA offense could be with an accurate QB.
It pains me to write the above because Beck is such a great story but I'm tired of the Lambo, fancy clothes, etc, and just want someone to take control of the offense and execute the plays that are there and open. Without that, this has the potential to be a disappointing year. Definitely glad to have a bye. Go DAWGS.
Idunno, man. It's hard to say, but we sure were behind Stetson when he said "It's not Xs and Os, it's Jimmys and Joes." That can't only count when we like the plays we're seeing. I'm all for mutual accountability between design and execution.
Good grief, can we play a different record? Every year it is the same. Good games and everyone is flying high on the team and then a “not great” game and suddenly everyone claims how bad we are and that our football world is coming to an end.
Yes, I hate the hard headedness on going back to that danged screen pass over and over and the runs up the middle and yes, I do worry about outcomes during the game but I never fear the future because I trust our team and, while I may question at times, I trust our coaching. And I am glad for the week off because I am expecting a great performance against alabama.
Mike Tyson once said "Everybody got a plan until they get punched in the face". Kentucky punched us in face. Hard. We had no plan. Although there were some positives I'm not pleased with how we responded. Everything has to improve.
Go Dawgs!
Speaking of Lambo's……if you drive one for 4 quarters under 30 the plugs foul, gas mileage drops precipitously and you barely get to where you want to go in a timely manner….If you continue to drive in this manner sooner than later you don't get to where you want to go. I don't pretend to know the reason our offensive play calling was stale vanilla but I believe it was the reason our execution was way off and thus our offensive production suffered….The Dawgs did just enough to win the game…..hopefully in Tuscaloosa we'll be highly tuned, revved up and ready to play hit and run…..Hopefully in Tuscaloosa The Dawgs will leave tire tracks all over Bryant-Denny and speed home with the checkered flag waving high.
If you watched the Texas vs Michigan game in Week 1, you saw how a high flying, aggressive, in-your-face, efficient offensive train is supposed to operate in today's game. TX appears to be a Championship caliber team with elite playmakers. Ewers and the TX offense was on fire again Saturday when Ewers went out with an oblique injury. But with Arch inserted they didn't skip a beat. Sure, it was against a lesser opponent but Sark is calling a great game plan so far this season. Even Bama looked like their old self last Saturday.
The sky may not be falling for the Dawgs, but KY exposed glaring issues/weaknesses that must be addressed quickly whether or not the KY game was a one-off blip or much more. Let's just hope that CKS works his magic and rights the ship. And I am definitely ready to see some real fire and leaders step up on this Dawg team. We've got a tough road ahead.
Pleeease. Don't blame things on Beck's shoulder. Beck is turning into more of a pretender than a contender. He speaks of the Heisman trophy and first pick in NFL draft as his goals. He needs to come down to earth. Get out of that Lamborghini and stop believing the media hype.
One of the strengths of UGA was suppose to be it OL and that group has not played up to the status expected of them. Beck has only been so so. The offense has got to play better or we could be looking at least 3 losses. The defense will become more efficient if they can ever set an edge.
Well said !!
I am going to go out on a limb here, and everyone that has seen my screen name and read my posts knows I am diehard Dawgs all the way-
I believe the Kentucky game was not a one-off. I believe Coach Smart knew his team was vulnerable on the offensive side of the ball, called by his BFF, Bobo. Coach Smart lost too many offensive weapons to the draft, and didn’t do a great enough job to his standard of replacing them with the 2024 draft class or the 2023 class.
Our Dawgs will go 6-3 the rest of the way-NO WAY this team will defeat Alabama at their house AT NIGHT the Saturday after next-Jalen Milroe will embarrass us as will our own offense with Bobo’s play calling and lack of imagination and ability to overcome the overall lack of talent AND experience at the skill positions.
Furthermore, if the other 2 losses are to Texas at their house and then to UT at home- Georgia will also be left out of the 12 team playoff.
If they are able to defeat Ole Miss on the road, I still do not see a pathway.
So a 9-3 season will wrap it up-some will blame injuries or make other excuses-but it won’t matter. The reality will be what it is.
And the million dollar question will be this: Who is going to lead Georgia in 2025 at the QB position, and will they even be considered a top 5 preseason team?
You cannot win perennially in today’s game with just having an elite defense. You must have a established QB and weapons at his disposal to go with a good to great defense.
That is my prediction, remember it here and now, so you can make me eat crow after the Alabama game!
Go Dawgs!
@87dawg
You “trust” Mike Bobo’s coaching??
More power to you, Dawg fan!
God Bless your optimism!
