Just Asking X2

Takes me back to grade school. Mess up on a paper, teacher says to me, go back and read chapter two in the history book, take the test again. If you fail to pass the second time, gather pencils and paper and copy the entire chapter two. Amazing how well I did in the second testing. There are methods that can be employed to get ones full attention. In that case it was not the teachers fault. I am beginning to wonder how much of the confusion on the defense is the teachers fault.

Honestly, tired of hearing how well we do in the red zone. I like keeping folks out of the end zone, but looking over the scores thus far, someone is getting through.

Florida has ten times the defense that Tennessee has. Appears they have found a quarterback that can put points on the board. 30-10 over Arkansas. Florida defense gives up 10 points.

Auburn is coming, 30-22 win over Ole Miss. Auburn defense gives up 22 points.

Not a time for excuses, it is time to settle this defensive problem now. Talent is not the problem in Athens, but there apparently is a problem, based on the number of games played thus far.

Offense injured, maybe it is time for Grantham's defense to help the offense out. JMHO.

I never thought I'd have to say this, but Grantham owes Bobo BIG TIME. Tennessee has no business scoring that many points on us (or ANYONE for that matter).

Right now I'm starting to think a straight, old fashioned 4-3 is what we need. With the offense absolutely decimated as it is with injuries, vanilla is sounding like a really nice flavor right now. From a 4-3, you can still do some pretty fancy and creative blitzing, you can go zone, cover 2 or just plain old man to man. I don't know if I would call it "dumbing down", since much of the NFL does it - maybe it's just going to what is most familiar and NATURAL for the players. We need players to be lined up and ready, not listening to the orchestra conductor shout out positions and assignments while the opposing team is running a hurry up.

We are going to need the D to step up in order to get to Atlanta....right now, with these injuries, UF will beat us....maybe others as well.

Just don't get it with ST's.....how hard can it be to AT LEAST not get your punt blocked???

What's the status on Rumph?....and will they take the redshirt off of Turman?

I don't think Richt mentioned rumph with the media yesterday. Could be wrong. Last I heard he was still battling with that hamstring.

Looks like he is thinking of taking the redshirt off of Tramel terry.

I highlighted blitzing for a reason. Is it just me, or do we seem to ALWAYS tip our blitzes??

It seems every time we are going to blitz, we give it away as soon as the opposing QB starts the count...

Then having totally telegraphed what we are about to do... we don't check out of it, and go ahead and do it
anyway.

We are not fooling ANYONE when we blitz. As a matter of fact, we are sending the opponents e-mails smd instant
messages letting them know when the blitz is coming.

We can't even get calls in on what coverage to run. Checking out to another one is way to advanced for us.

GREAT point....

Guess I am still having a problem with the special teams play. That one I do believe falls on Mark Richt's shoulders. He would never have mentioned getting involved with special teams if there was nothing there to fix.

Said more than once that I would like to see stability in our program, especially with coaches. Great believer in stability.

Another thought comes to mind . . . . seems over the last two or so years there have been those on this board that said AM could not win the big games. Some mentioned it more than once. Wonder if they have changed their minds on AM being the UGA quarterback?
