UGA midseason

          Ok, can we be honest about Da Dawgs? Jake Fromm is a NFL QB and our OC is calling plays like we’re playing JV. I’m not here to question the man’s knowledge of the game I’m sure he’s very well versed is the game and understands that his play calling  has to be better. To win in today’s college football you have to score touchdowns, that’s all is to it. Jim Chaney was bad about being overly conservative and the move to let him go and promote Coley looked to make a difference. He said all of the rights things about opening the offense up in the spring and fall camp but here we are midway through the season and things look very similar. The Oline has had some injuries true enough but at every position other than left tackle the 2 deep is almost just as good and the starter and in some cases just as good if not better. So there is no excuse for not consistently controlling the line of scrimmage. I’ve noticed that South Carolina and Notre Dame both had success stopping the run by slanting and stunting with the defensive line, which absolutely destroys the zone blocking scheme used by UGA. The solution to that is use your bigger offensive line to simply line up and drive people off the ball in a man blocking scheme and your back can still run to daylight.

          The defense is improving every week. They have a lot of young guys playing in the backend with injuries and a lot of rotations communication is an issue at times leading me to think that maybe Kirby should dial back a lil bit and just play ball. You hear all the time about how complicated the defensive scheme is so much so that defenders are often confused about what to do and where to be leading to bust in coverage and running lanes. Sometimes you have to sit back and just think my guys are better than yours and all the misdirection and disguises aren’t really necessary. Simplify the scheme and allow the defense to attack rather than trying to overthink every read on every play which slows down the defense just enough to allow completions and 1st downs will turn into touchdowns. A conservative defense will get you beat by an aggressive offense.

The Tortured Mind of a Loving Man

           The Tortured Mind of a Loving Man is a collection of poetry that gives a glimpse into my world. Though the collection was not properly edited or even presented in the right way it was something that I had to put out. Here it is near three years later and I have so much more to say and yet I’m not sure how to say it. A close friend of mine suggested I start this blog so that I can properly express my thoughts and feelings so that maybe others going through similar things can find it. I’m no claiming to have all the answers mostly I have questions and my hope is to get as many different views as possible. I’m a firm believer in looking at every situation from as many different angles as possible before making a decision but once a decision is made you must go after it with everything you have. This is simply an introduction to what I hope is a long running blog all comments are welcomed and questions are appreciated.
