Georgia makes it clear who has final call when it comes tight end usage in offense
ATHENS — Mike Bobo has always tailored his offenses to accentuate his best players.

Just don't get it why we turn our TE's into blockers. All I read every year how stacked out TE room is. Maybe it is me and misunderstanding the role of a TE. More and more I see we will never anyone even close to Bowers. Oh well, at least our OL looks awesome for this year!
I would love and am really hoping to see Bobo spread the ball around more this year. I’m tired of hearing year after year about all this talent we have, and we fans know it’s there, and then we throw the screen out to the sidelines 10 or more times a game. I don’t care if it’s only 15 to 20 yards, throw the **** ball down field and let these guys make some plays with their legs! Go Dawgs!
Looking forward to some 4 TE sets this year, how intimidating will that be?
Why make it complicated? If your best players are TEs, throw the football to them more often! Imagine being a defender trying to not only cover these guys but then having to tackle ‘em. Not fun. Heck, I could complete passes to a 6’7” target.
“It’s not just necessarily the receiver position,” Bobo said. “It’s not just the tight end position. It’s trying to figure out a balance of what we do best as an offense, what our quarterbacks do best as an offense, and where we’re going to tailor who and how we’re going to try to get touches to those people.”
Word salad. He should run for President.
Whatever is most logical and blatantly obvious this OC will do the complete opposite. Dawg fans have a painful track record of frustration and bewilderment to prove it.
All I can say is what I've said too many times…Ole Miss October 18th…best offensive production of the 2025 season…9 catches by TEs for almost 100 yards.
Facts speak for themselves…don't tell me guys can't get open.
our TE room is STACKED!! I hope we use them correctly.
Would seem to be easy.TE room is stacked with a lot of uncertainty at WR. Obvious mismatches will be available and should be easy to exploit. No need to overthink it. 4 TE set would create problems for everyone so why not take advantage. WR's will have their opportunity as they prove themselves.
“Georgia makes it clear who has final call when it comes tight end usage in offense”
I’ve read this article three times and if “Georgia has made it clear…” I didn’t see it mentioned!
I understand that it’s good to try to mix things up on the Offense. Run the ball, short to intermediate passes to TEs, deeper passes to WRs. The I guess more traditional things.
But as has been said here many times by my fellow Dawgs fans and I Fully agree we are Loaded at TE !! Use Them !! In fact it appears we are so loaded at TE it’s gonna be hard to feed Em all !!
No I’m not saying bench the WRs totally. But use the TEs more, much more really by passing the ball to them. We now have TEs more than capable of handling the deep passes. It’s gonna take a heck of a CB to beat a 6’7” guy on a jump ball !!
I’m absolutely For whoever is playing the best. I’m a Team fan more than an individual player though like allot of Dawgs fans individual players like Bowers and McConkey, others, grow into being hero’s of the Team.
It might be next year before we see closer to the full picture of him, but keep an eye on Prothro. He has Bowers like hands ! And he seems to be pretty effective at getting open even as a true freshman.
But he’s not even the current hot commodity !! Redell seems to be ! And E. Williams, Barbour, Luckie. So we’re Loaded at TE !! All I ask is Please don’t consign them to merely being blocking machines !! Just gotta trust that CMB knows what he’s doing and that he’s trying to down play publicly the gold mine he has in the TE room. Go Dawgs !!
Enough talent in TE room to play 4 at once. A simple analysis would be to determine success rate when we throw to TE's vs using thems primarily as blockers.
Having 7 (!) 4* or 5* TE's on the roster seems like overkill. A waste of NIL? Probably has cost UGA players at other positions.
THEN to not use them ('25) seems insane. But using 4 TE's at once on the same.play is not a recipe for success. SEC DB's can stay close to a TE w/o even needing top gear. Unless you are planning to run exclusively from the set. Well that will make your TE's happy!
The biggest problem with the UGA offense is its predictability. A well coached team knows exactly what UGA is running as soon as UGA lines up. CKS's finger prints are more all over the offensive game plan than people realize. Monken mitigated that with play calling and talent. Can Bobo break out of his vanilla offensive tendencies?
The other problem w/the UGA O is the QB's limitations until proven otherwise.
