Just a few comments...

1) We only threw to a tight end once on Saturday. We should be using our talented TE's for shorter passes to help Murray out. Especially on the huge 3rd and 4.

2) Wild Dawg formation? WTF?? This seems to be CMB trying to keep up with the Jones' It should be deleted from the play book and never thought of again.

3) O-Line play has been horrendous. A real dissappointment and most people and analysts thought UGA would be the class of the SEC.

All in all I though we looked much better than the previous week and see real potential to turn the season around and finish with dignity.

1. Throwing to the TE is much harder with no deep threat. This ties back in to the repercussions of Green being out. Without Green the safeties can crowd the line and cover the TEs directly which is a less than favorable match up in most cases.

2. We can't run up the middle right now so the wild dawg thing is pointless.

3. The O-line is facing 7 or 8 men in the box every time. Again this is a function of the defense not respecting the WRs and the freshman QB. The minute Green lines with the offense at least two of the men in the box will drop back. That will open up things for the running game and the TE.

Schematically have a dominant WR changes everything.

Great post KD, It is not hard for a DC to look at our freshman QB and say, OK no star WR lets take away the run and force him into beating us with the pass. KD has not had to deal with a cover 2 look all year. The deep routes take time which AM has not had much of. Then there is the issue of how poorly WE blocks. Everything relates and is a cause and effect.

First night game of the year, cooler night start. Out of the past three games, the players we have can and will get it done this week. Can't look back, Go Dawgs !

I understand and agree that Green is a deep threat, gamechanger, walks on water, etc. In the SEC if your team is that dependent on one player you need to stay in the locker room. Do you not think that Durham or King are deep threats? I just don't think that AM has developed the accuracy on his longer throws that we have become accustomed to in the past. I just believe that with a young quarterback you have to work on higher percentage tosses and staying away from the gimics.

UGA's top four receivers have had 30 catches through Saturday and the TE's have had 5.

Durham is not a deep threat in the manner he draws anything other than man coverage. King has proven inconsistent so he is disregarded largely until he make people worry about him.

Every team in the SEC is that dependent on one player. FOr some it is a QB. FOr others it is a WR. Alabama may be the lone exception with the two tailbacks, but they have not played anyone yet so who knows.

Without a homerun hitting WR defenses just crowd the line and take everything else away. This is a simple football principle and I am concerned people on this board seem unaware of it.
