Nothing fancy

Not that I saw anything different watching the game live, but this Ian Boyd post makes it abundantly clear that it wasn’t scheme that did in Georgia’s offense, just plain old crappy execution in every phase of the game, particularly blocking.

Here’s the worrisome part:

In a rematch with Georgia, it’s hard to see many of the dynamics changing up front. In Round 1, Auburn simply outclassed a younger squad of big men.

To generate offense against Auburn requires dropping back and making the linebackers worry about covering routes in the middle or attacking the cornerbacks down the sidelines, when they’re isolated by coverages that involve the safeties in the run game. The Tigers tend to play things pretty basic and rely on strength and athleticism, and while they occasionally present an enticing target for a run, it’s hard to beat their big DL or speedy secondary.

The Tigers play fast in basic schemes and always know what they’re about. You’re either going to outexecute them up front and hope their safeties don’t clean things up, or you outexecute them down the field in the passing game.

In the event of a rematch, even assuming Georgia’s head is in the game, if the lines don’t play better, the Dawgs won’t win.

    Maybe the OLine will play better with even a hint of trying to keep the defense off balance. Sure they have to execute but pass blocking against good pass rushers is much tougher on 3rd and nine. So is run blocking up the gut against a Bear front with safeties playing like LBers. The Auburn game wasn’t the first time we’ve seen this but they forgot to get out of the way of Chubb and Michel.

      Bingo. When the other team knows your first and second down play are up the middle runs it makes it a bit easier to defend. You saw the difference in the first series. That first series was gorgeous and worked. So apparently it made obvious sense to those much smarter than me to abandon that strategy and start running it up the middle, running it up the middle, pass, punt.

        Of the five plays shown in the article both runs were on first or second down and all three passing plays were on third down. Makes it a little easier to call defensive plays as you note.

        Didn’t we cover this yesterday? We threw more than we ran on first down after the first drive. We ran 12 times on second down and threw it 8 times in second down. We actually did better ypp when we ran on those downs than when we tried to throw.

            You can’t do much of anything if you can’t block. There really isn’t an effective offensive plan for when your OL is a sieve.

            You can chuck and duck, but usually that puts you in a worst position as far as three and outs, hits on the qb and time management. Moreover, we really only have one guy that is dangerous one on one and that’s 6. The rest of the guys are good vs. zone coverage but they aren’t vs. man which puts us in a tough spot.

            We’ve got to get the inside running game going. Two things really helped their front Saturday. One was that it was very cool. The other was that they spent a lot of time on the bench resting

            It won’t be hot, but it will be 10 to 15 degrees warmer in the dome. Hopefully we won’t be giving them gifts either.

            One thing I’d like to see us do is more outside zone reads, more jet sweeps and a reverse or two. They need to make that front run and run often early. Soften them up east west and see if that helps the north south game. One thing I think we all should know is that we ain’t winning by just passing on early downs. We’ve got to run the damn ball or die trying.

            Because I really don’t watch anything but us, I didn’t realize how much Kevin Steele is running an Alabama-like defense. They really are playing with a four man rush and manning up on the recievers. It’s what we’ve done all year to everybody else.

            The nickname for that defense is “dude defense.” In other words, whose got the best “dude” because that’s whose gonna win the battle. It isn’t about play calling or scheme. You’ve got to beat the guy across from you. The most the coaches can do is try and make them work a little harder by getting those big guys breathing hard.

            Usually, you’ve got to throw to open up the run against those kind of teams. I just don’t know that we can do that. Our QB/receiver combo isn’t good enough as far as I can see.

              I remember Lane Kiffin as Alabama OC using this strategy in big games at Bama. Early in the game the play calls would be heavy on East-West runs, swing passes to RBs, WR screens, etc. They wouldn’t get a lot of yards at first, but once the DL and LBs were gassed they would run through them and throw over them at will.

                As it was it was the inverse of the 2006 game. We weren’t that good and they weren’t that bad, but on that day where their qb keeps chucking it at us, we looked like kings and they looked like a joke.

    Still, the Dawgs would have a chance…Auburn played their perfect game. Georgia played their faceplant game. I also felt Auburn was allowed to hold on the edges which gave them some huge plays early.
    Also, the announcers even pointed out many penalties not called on Auburn..such as PI, D holding, Facemasks and at least one Personal Foul.
    The mistakes made by Georgia were enough to doom us. The ref’s threw gas on the fire.
    In a rematch, Georgia would HAVE to open up the throwing game. That means the O line would need to protect Fromm.
    I agree Auburn is the more mature and physical team up front. But Georgia did everything it could to help them even more.
    And I’ll never agree that Cheney’s scheme for that game was good. The worst part is he never changed it until garbage time.

      It’s not Chaney’s scheme, it’s Kirby’s. Unless Kirby directs Chaney to run a different scheme or come up w/ a more wide open game plan we’ll continue to see too many “up the gut” plays.

      Kirby, & staff, have to adjust to the talent at hand & not coach based upon the talent Kirby was accustomed to having at Bama. Short of that we’ll “impose our will” on those w/ less talent & struggle vs those w/ equal or greater talent.

        Auburn never had to defend more than half the field. When we ran up the middle they had eight guys within five yards of the ball carrier. When we threw they new which way the pass was going based on the flow of our offense after the snap. I don’t know why in the hell we can’t run a play with some misdirection.

        As far as the pass blocking we have been creamed by defensive line stunts and twists all year. Whether this is Guilliards fault or Pittman’s I have know idea but it is responsible for most all of our sacks given up this year. Great article and comments.

        Mostly the way I see it too, last year was the same. Even when we seem to adjust/execute and move the ball…..we get out of sync. No ebb and flow…situational playcalling has been an issue (again). With all that said, the defense was the biggest issue for me. Auburn just took the fight out of them as the game went on. Smart needs to let the OC be the OC….if he does not trust him, find another or get out of the way.

    Passing plays between yards 0 and 10 in the middle of the field would be nice too. It’s much easier to stop (IMO) plays that are screens to the outside, run up the middle, throw a 10+ yard route to either sideline (over and over and over). Again, it seems that our tight-ends are being under utilized in the passing game. No fullback sets. Nothing from under center. We really didn’t give them any different things to think about.

      Gotta let the Freshman QB take his lumps in a game you can recover from as far as your goals are concerned. We were getting manhandled, and weren’t likely to come back after the terrible 3rd quarter start. Jake gets the experience of playing a full, rough game in the hole, Kirby shows him that the coaching staff is behind him even when things aren’t going well, and he has a chance to show his resolve and lead the team to a touchdown on the final drive. Can’t replicate that in practice or in blowout wins, 100% behind the decision to stick with Fromm.

          I don’t think Fromm is the problem, the Line and absence of misdirection, and a shorter passing game were the problem in my opinion. Changing the QB doesn’t help you run against a stacked box, pass plays that take longer to develop than your QB has time in the pocket isn’t on the QB.

            I believe the shorter passing game was necessary to lessen the time the routes take to develop, i.e. reduce the amount of time Fromm has to hold the ball. Auburn sat on whatever passes we tried because 90+% of them were to the sideline (short or long).

            That’s how you protect a young quarterback, you throw to the sidelines so that he doesn’t have to read but one side of the receiver (sideline closes the other side). They knew the he was throwing to the boundaries and shaded their secondary to cover inside-out. The “inside” part of that allowed the safeties to crash down on all the runs up the middle. The middle of the field underneath was open a high % of the time.

              I am not disagreeing with your point. Fromm seems to me to have earned himself the ability to be trusted with the chance of making such throws.

              Auburn is not unbeatable but it seems the offense did not adapt to capitalize. UGA lost by 23 and gave up essentially 14 on turnovers, and had very good chance at minimum 1 more TD. The gap isn’t as far as many are freaking out.

              We will have to wait to see if the staff can put together the game plan to capitalize in a rematch assuming Auburn wins out.

      You think Kirby and Chaney will set up a different game plan for a championship game vs. a season game? Some questions like Fromm vs. Eason or using more passing plays may be better answered when the game is all or nothing, I think. Kirby specifically said that passing wasn’t called for out of concern of injury to Fromm.

The Walker and Sony 15 yard penalties, the Hardman fumble, and the two incomplete long passes come to mind immediately. Take some of the mistakes away and its a much closer ballgame. My point is, this has not been a team that shoots itself in the foot as happened last Saturday. That’s an outlier. There’s no reason to surmise this team gets curb stomped in the new dome.

One game in which should’ve been a 10-14 point Georgia win but it turned into survival mode because of multiple dumb personal fouls and the last game where flags and the muff contributed to a meltdown.

    I looked at Boyd’s clips. That is what you do at SB, fit the clips to your story and make everybody get on board with you. BS!
    Watch Fromms back foot in those clips. He is not a legit pocket passer and may not have the arm. His balls are flat and not out quick. In a pocket does not mean you sit there or move up. It means your feet have to create better passing lanes to get the ball out, hell, after all you should know the route and timing. But that could be a stretch when you never throw and you keep your offense all season in first gear.
    Will say it again. We have no damn passing game. How many reps have we had. Fromms, whatever the hell stats they are, passer’s rating are pure BS. He could not move the offense with his passing skills.
    Fall into that trap and mind set your line is not good enough to pass block. Well,, they are if you do not do it more than Chaney or Pittman has done it last year and this year.
    I think you are stupid if your mind set as a coach is you have to run first to be able to pass. All that tells me is you can not coach; you have not worked hard enough off season and during the season on your passing game; and you do not have a pass play book.
    Now Chaney came out of Purdue. They threw the damn ball. The tigers went over the top with that long pass play…that was the play that nailed the dawgs for good.
    Mel Gray [as I have seen posted] or Mel Tucker…look man, if Auburn could shut us down, why in hell can your defense not shut down Auburn. Kirby is right about tackling. That issue is on you Mel. You wanted to be a SEC DC, damn man man up to being one.
    Where Chaney and Tucker stands will be reflected in the Kentucky game.
    Shut them down. Also, throw the damn ball on their secondary, and those are not little players on their side. Find out now how far you came in a week re your receivers going up and getting the ball and separation. Lot of timing in football…same for runs as for pass. When you throw the ball on the same level as Arkansas or Paul at Tech…well, hell, you are bound to look like you did against Auburn. They not only crowded the line to close gaps but did that also to stop the passing. So where is your passing game.
    If you have to look at some “old Ball Coach schemes, and throwing out of the pocket” because what you are doing now it only takes one player from UF, one from USC, and a couple from AU in the secondary to shut you down. They do not need coaching or prep, they can see and adjust on the fly.

Carter, Bellamy, Dominic Sanders, and Aaron Davis are all seniors. Natrez and Roquan are both juniors. Trenton Thompson has been starting for three years now and all the other D linemen are second year starters. We are not a young team. Which dovetails i to my next point. Why do so many people keep saying g we are a year away? Do they not see what we will be losing to graduation and the NFL?

    If Auburn puts an 8 man box and you have a QB set back in the shotgun with a five man front and one back or TE or FB for extra blocking, then tell me why your routes and receivers can not get beyond that front and on their secondary. If you are even coming of the line against them why can you not get separation and to the ball.
    Chaney’s passing plays….basic package…slant or hand off to a RB who then flips the ball back to Fromm to throw the ball deep. Yep that way those 8 guys up on your front just buy in to a pass play. Don’t think that worked lately.
    Eason vs Fromm. Every SEC team Chaney played this year his frosh QB saw last year. And this year he has a little more depth and quality on the line.
    So here is where I wonder what is going on. Eason saw those defenses. One year of experience. Two springs. Two falls. One bowl, against TCU. A QB who can spin the ball…to the point he pulled your fat out of the fire twice last year. Missouri and Tennessee. Unfortunately, wearing the uniform on the field was not fully coached up.
    Sorta like you can not leap of the defenders on punt coverage. Remember that penalty was not the first time we have ever had that against Auburn. Too the point Auburn now practices that with their scout team and a ref.

      What’s going on is 1. You don’t change what’s working and 2. Chaney doesn’t develop with QBs. Therefore, every single Eason problem was likely still a problem. Holding the ball too long, mechanical issues, etc.

      If your QB has mechanical issues with Chaney around, it’s good luck or go outside of the team because he doesn’t fix them.

        To continue (sorry that I didn’t put it in the above post), the ode of you don’t change what is working is seriously true. That’s how Dak Prescott is the starting QB for the Dallas Cowboys and Tony Romo is in the booth with Jim Nantz.

        But yes, Eason’s main issue was mechanical and that was not getting fixed by Jim Chaney looking at his past history, outside of Brees.

    Test (because of my dang computer freezing and logging me out of everything)

    To not make this a useless post, Clemson is #2 in that poll and that is a joke.

    I’m not too big on predicting future outcomes based on one game. I’ve seen enough to know UGA can play better on their Offensive and Defensive lines and that Auburn can play worse. Most blow outs involving teams of equal talent are more due to a snowball effect when things start going bad than one team actually being that much better than the other in terms of play. I’m very confident we won’t see the Georgia team from Saturday in Atlanta in December.

    I appreciate that we are analyzing what went wrong in the game against Auburn but that game is over. We likely will not be playing Auburn again this season cause Bama is going to beat Auburn’s ass we but definitely will be playing U.K. this weekend. Just sayin.’
