Post Game Observations (Syracuse '14)...

[ickythump1225]

You don't have to "just pound it up the middle for 2 yards". One of the ways that you neutralize numbers in the box is with misdirection; get the defense thinking that you are going outside, and get them flowing that way, then cut back into the middle. No one is advocating 3 yards and a cloud of dust. But our running game has been pretty pedestrian, so far. And pedestrian against the teams that we have been playing is likely to translate into non-existent against the better teams on our schedule.

You see "pedestrian" I see all of those swing passes and screens as just extended hand offs. If we're getting the ball to our RBs why does it matter if it was handed directly from the QB or it traveled 6 feet in the air to get there?

If the defense is sitting back to defend the pass we can eat them up with shorter passes to keep them honest. It accomplishes the idea of balance just as well as handing the ball directly from QB to RB.

No back will look good if they keep getting blown up in the back field. Folston rarely had any lanes to run through.

We def. tried him in the 1st 2 series and the line was still trying to figure their assignments. It'll be interesting to see the rest of our decisions

Giving him the ball isn't an issue, IMO. Kelly has no problem doing that.

The issue is pass blocking. He would see the field more earlier in games if he was trusted to pick up the blitz.

The most ND ran the ball last night was to end the third and it was a steady dose of GB. But by that time we had torched them on the edge with the pass and had a solid lead.

Exactly. GB got a fair amount of touches and was on the field quite a bit. As his pass blocking skills increase he'll see the field more and more. He's still a little bit raw but he'll get there.

The nick Martin negativity is bizarre to say the least! Wow

 

[georgia irish]

We will make the playoffs and this time win the championship.The game was to big for us then our defense to slow with Smith,Shumate,Redfield,and Riggs we are finally getting more speed on defense

 

[georgia irish]

I want Niles Morgan to play a little more

In good time. His knowledge of the defense has to be limited. All very normal for a true freshman. It's just one of those position where you can't have somebody with limited understanding of what we are doing.

Sure, if he can legitimately take reps away from Schmidt. I don't think that's going to happen. Schmidt is playing well.

 

[irishfan]

Move CJ to defense? Too late for that now, plus last night was probably the best game of his career.

 

[georgia irish]

We have to keep putting more speed on defense we have had an easy schedule so far you will see why when we top sec teams

 

[Cackalacky]

You have a gray plan georgia irish. I am interested in hearing more.

 

[Circa]

As they just replayed the down, "fumble" It was ruled on the field an incomplete pass! But It was over turned that the qb did not have possession! 26 Completions IT IS! Come on fellas jump on board and look up some facts!/?

So pair Malik with Cam with Golson? Have Luatua lead block power dives?

 

[georgia irish]

Did you see how slow we lookrd on defense against Alabama thank god we have more speed on d

 

[georgia irish]

Im with you bro. Dual Qbs in the backfield is groundbreaking ish.

 

[georgia irish]

How many teams besides fsu are as good as the top sec teams

 

[georgia irish]

that we play

 

[gkIrish]

You're right. FSU should put Gurley in the backfield behind Winston. Run play action every play and have Winston throw down the field to Amari Cooper.

 

[georgia irish]

You could you see them passing to each other then passing it downfield whats the difference than a halfback pass except malik would throwing it

 

[georgia irish]

gurley not a qb malik is

Over the last 4 years, Stanford. Last year, Michigan State. I could go on.

 

[georgia irish]
