Bobo didn’t throw those passes - the game should have been 40 - 0 if #7 just LOOKS before he throws! Gameplan overall was pretty good - it’s hard to argue with 458 yards in total offense. The red zone play is all on the players and execution, not necessarily play calls - if the QB executed decently the TD’s were there (though you can’t blame Stafford if a wide open receiver drops the ball in the end zone).

For the most part, Bobo has done a pretty good job the last season and a half, but the Tennessee game was not one of his better efforts. There were times on Saturday I thought Jim Donnan was calling the plays.

Before people come on here bashing Bobo, he can only call play he knows his offensive line is capable of. When ever things start to look a little better, another injury.

Only two years everybody was asking Richt to get OC. Well, he did and Bobo did a good job of it. Now all of a sudden he’s forgotten how in some peoples eyes.

I don’t put much into fan’s impressions. Case in point, I’ve not heard mumblings this year about firing John Eason, the receivers coach. Was he stupid all those years and just now get smart? I’m sure he has learned some things but I suspect it’s simply that this core of receivers may be the best we’ve had in a looonnggg time - maybe ever. There were several catches that were likely drops in the past - ones that were out in front of the receivers and where the receiver reached out and snagged it out of the air.

I’m really proud of The Dawgs for the win - and seeing Southerland in there again was icing on the cake.

We had execution problems and penalty problems again. Whatever the heck is happening is almost across the board. This time the Dawg Defense played well and had the fewest problems.

You know, looking back on the game I kinda think the problems we’re having all originate with our lines. If Stafford has to rush a pass or Moreno gets fewer carries or fewer yards per carry it’s probably due to our injuries on the O Line. Though clearly the O Line was successful enough against a highly rated UT Defense.

We’ll know for sure over the next three games - Vandy, LSU & UF.

the problem is/was not the fade route. The problem was the QB&WR were not seeing the same thing on the field. The fade route is an extremly low risk play because the offense uses their taller receivers against usually much smaller defenders. The QB’s only job is to throw it where either the receiver can catch it, or it goes incomplete.

Also, Chip, you thought we should power it in. The offense has shown it may not be capable of that this year. Arizona St. stonewalled us in our 2 late attempts down close, and TN. only allowed a southerland plunge in our attempts down close. Now with Southerland back in the lineup, that may change, but through half the year, with the injuries and youth of the offensive line, they don’t look capable of playing the power game close to the goal line.

Bobo is doing a great job, and those that feel he is not are the same ones that complain about everything, think they know more than the coaches, and will in general be satisfied one minute and unhappy the next. He is not perfect, but he has won! Until these folks have something valid to complain about, real fans will not listen.

Chip, I don’t think blaming Bobo for not scoring in the red zone is called for. Green was held tightly on both fades thrown to him, one was called the other wasn’t. Like you said it’s a 50/50 call. I think instead of bashing Bobo we should take our hats off to coach Searals he has continued to come up with a line that is doing a pretty good job of blocking. No sacks on saturday, from a defense that was rated best in the SEC in most areas. Even after losing Vance we managed to sustain an 11.00 minute drive in the 4th quarter. Dominating drive for the O-line. Great job coach Searals!!!

When people start calling for coach’s heads its them trying to put logic behind their teams poor performence. Fans want a scapegoat, and coaches are it. Its almost always hot air, unless there really is a consistant problem with the performance…cough Tony Franklin….cough. The coaches are fine, most of us rational fans know the coaches are fine. Injuries are our biggest problem and theres just not much you can do about that but keep on keeping on. Im proud of the way we won against UT. Next is a p** off Vandy so lets focus.

I agree with your assessment. There were a few plays that left me scratching my head, such as continually going to the fade when it clearly wasn’t working that well. Dawgs need to go to Knowshon more, even if our offensive line is better at pass protection. They need to find ways to get more bodies in front of him to block. Dawgs should have put more points on the board, but overall it wasn’t a bad effort.

We don’t have the offensive line to muscle the ball from the 5 yardline, esp. against a big and physical defensive line like Tenn. It was the same against Bama, it’ll be the same against LSU in 2 weeks.

Bobo is good OC, but as soon as he realizes this, the running game inside the 10 yard line will improve greatly.

You use Moreno and King…their speed to go to the corner. Put some blockers out infront of them, give them the ball in space, let them make a man miss in the open field, better chances there than in between the tackles.

I have to say one thing I’d like to see more is screen passes. UGA used to be really good at executing those last year, but this year, with the exception of a few plays (most to the fullback), our RB haven’t broken those for big plays.

It’s a good way to take pressure off the banged up O-Line anyways.

STOP calling for QB designed runs. Yes it worked great a few times last year, he even scored TD’s, but that’s one way to get your star QB injured. Stafford isn’t that fast or physical of a runner, should only run the ball when the play breaks down, or for a short gain (sneak) and that’s it.

One more thing I’d like to see from Bobo, is for him to call for more formations that spread the field out. I can count on one hand the time I’ve seen 4 WR in the game for UGA. Yes, I know CMR is a big believer in the “balanced offense”, etc, but open up the playbook from time to time. You’ve got a good QB in Stafford, look for the matchups, find the best one and go there. Stop with the TE packages so much, since we don’t have a playmaking TE. Use the RB and FB to block for extra protection, use more open formations.

Last but not least, no matter what plays Bobo calls, it all comes down to how well the players execute those plays. Stafford and the WR need to be on the same page. Obviously they weren’t on a few plays this past saturday. AJ Greene showed us that there will be growing pains this year, dropped a sure TD pass that could have set the tone of the game for the offense.

It’s not the plays, it’s the QB. Everybody thinks Stafford is the greatest thing, #1 NFL pick, blah, blah, blah. The bottom line is he is merely an average passer. When was the last time you’ve seen him hit a receiver in stride? (I believe it was last years FLA game.) Stafford may have a cannon for an arm, but it doesn’t do much good if that cannon has no accuracy. Time after time a receiver either has to wait on the ball, catch it behind him, too high, too low — that limits yards after catch. Give me David Greene any day.

On offense, it isn’t so much play calling and game plans, but simple execution. Dropped passes, no running lanes, penalties, etc. Execution-wise, the offense just seems to break down. They are still sputtering after six games into the season.

Defensively, like I have said, Martinez’s system works great against lesser opponents and make no mistake, Tennessee is a lesser opponent (probably among the worst teams we will play this year).

Next week we should (SHOULD) take care of an exposed Vanderbilt. Then LSU and Florida. I will be THRILLED if we can win one of these games (preferably Fla) and COMATOSE if we win them both. As it looks to me right now, winning either is a long shot.

When are people going to figure out that it goes beyond just winning the game. We are fans of a game where style points play a HUGE part in the rankings! Maybe it is the players’ fault for not executing the play right. But what has a higher probability of success? A fade route or giving your All-American rb the ball on a sweep, dive, blast? Sometimes I think we get just a little too cute with our plays when just the simplest of plays would be suffice. Instead of falling in love with these different fake/gimmick screens why not fall in love with throwing the ball down the field. Your QB has the best arm in college football, USE IT!!!

You can argue against me all you want. The dawgs may be 5-1 but they aren’t impressing a whole lot of people along the way.

My complaint is questionable 3rd down calls, especially 3rd and long. Time and Time again our WR’s run routes that are too short or way too long. I wish they’d be more aware of what they have to have to get that first down yardage. If its 3rd and 7 and your normal route calls for a 5yd in. It now has to be a 7 yd in. I don’t think our guy are coached to do this. It is all about moving the chains….correct?

Chip, I agree that Bobo frustrates me sometimes…but I have to agree with Michael G above…the fade, when properly executed, is very low risk for turnover. One the Berry interception, we had the wrong personell (I believe M Moore was in there instead of AJF) and he ran an “out” instead of a “fade”. Those two problems must be fixed.

Secondly, when we have 3rd and goal from the 2…that is 2 down territory in my opinion. Do whatever it takes to get a yard and leave us with 4th and 1 from the 1. We can get ONE stinkin’ yard. Especially with a power formation with Southerland and KTripp as lead blockers in the backfield. We can power run 1 yard.

Last…we have run a play a few times that has had great success. I’d like to see more of it. The play is a toss sweep to Moreno with the WR cracking down on the LB. Especially now that Southerland in back, I believe this play will work on the goal-line to spring the RB to the corner.

Good win, focus on Vandy.

P.S. What’s up with R Samuel’s impatience? Has anyone else noticed that he looks like a scared freshman—blindly running to the hole assigned and not even trying to read the play? I’d like to see him learn this on scout team the rest of the year….leave him on the sidelines and let Caleb King or Demiko Goodman return kicks!

Bobo has done a good job and has built a fine record. After taking over for the AU game in 2006 he has suffered three losses. Considering the fact that two of thelosses were first half blowouts which severly limited offensive playcalling I think Bobo has done a good job. He is only in his second year so he has made some mistakes, but that’s how one learns. When the O line matures and WRs King and Green gain more experence then the playbook can be expanded, untill then the KISS principle will apply. I am more concerned with injuries than Bobo’s play calling ability. UGA just lost it’s only upperclassman on the O line for the season. Tripp will have to be switched back from TE to O line, leaving a hole to be filled by the banged up Figgins and another red shirt freshman. I hope the guys that wanted Chandler benched are happy now!

This is, what — Bobo’s second season as OC, calling all the plays? He’s still growing into the job, and considering he’s only half-way into his second season as full-time OC, he’s doing well. And it’s not like he’s putting together game plans against novice defensive coordinators, either. Finally, remember that Bobo is ultimately constrained to operate within CMR’s comfort range, and that means you aren’t going to see much in the way of “outside the box” offensive scheming.

By Garrett

I am honestly quite tired of the people who call for Willie Martinez’s and Bobo’s job every time one of the squads has a bad day, especially Bobo. When Bobo took over the play calling duties in the 2006 Chick-fil-a bowl and did a great job, everybody was congratulating Bobo and saying what a great offensive coordinator he will be in the coming years. Those same people now are saying Bobo sucks and we need to shake it up. Stop being a bandwagon fan you people who criticize when something goes wrong, yet when it’s all good, you praise everyone. Bobo is a great offensive coordinator for Georgia. I swear when a play doesn’t work or goes wrong, I hear somebody in the stands say come on Bobo! It really irritates me because I know if they had to call a play, they wouldn’t have a clue what to call. Bobo did a fine job against Tennessee and I think he is a fine offensive coordinator. You people who can’t help but blame one of the coaches when something goes wrong, rather it be Bobo, Martinez, or Richt just shut up. If you can’t do anything but criticize, sit at home and watch the game so we don’t have to hear you guys wine during the games every time a play doesn’t work.

We fans watch 60 min. on a Sat afternoon and are the experts on coaching, and yes I did have question on the play calling in the Red Zone. The fact is just like Chip stated Bobo works hard along with all the other offensive coaches all week to put a game plan together that gives us the best chance they think of winning,which we did. I would not trade anyone of our coaches for any other coach in the country. There is only one true championship that a NCAA Bowl Champ. Sub Division team can win and that is the conf championship. UGA is still in the thick of that even with only scoring 3 points a few times. We still beat and yes we did beat UT by 12 points. There is a exceptionally great staff of football coaches in Athens GA wroking on winning another SEC Championship and they will do their best to achieve that. There is no one sitting in a stadium seat in Sanford Stadium that can do a better job.

The fans questioning Bobo are, quite frankly, complete idiots. Anyone besides me notice the demise of the sprint draw? The offensive balance? The return of smash mouth running plays rather than the finesse preferred by Richt? The way we ran up and down the field on Auburn and Florida last year, Ariz. State and Tennessee this year? Bet you weren’t complaining about the fade when we used it to score a big TD in the Auburn game last year. Sometimes the players have to execute the plays.

458 yards against a stout SEC defense is your idea of bad? Bobo has done an excellent job, and the same people calling for his head today will be pi$$ing and moaning tomorrow when he takes a head coaching job somewhere else.

Tennessee is a crappy team this year so the offensive stats stats and defensive stats are very misleading. UGA needs 3 changes. Both Coordinators and strength Coach all need to be dismissed. Then if it doesn’t happen soon then Damon Evans needs to have a heart to heart with Richt. Dawgs should have put up 50 points on the vols as well as on the lamecocks. Our program sucks and the rest of the college world sees it as well. We are becoming a laughing stock because we cant be a dominate team and cant put teams away when the numerous opportunities are there and move upward in the polls. You people who have on the rose colored glasses, I wonder what you will say when UGA gets embarrassed again this year with these clowns that we have for coaches? Heck you dont have to be an almighty expert to see poor play and play calling. To hear some of these arguments UGA should have never fired Ray Goof.

I certainly don’t blame all the problems on Bobo. But, the calls for the fade route(over and over)were his and should be shelved for use in “special” occasions. The same with Staffords “naked” runs which are now well-scouted. And if we keep losing left tackles it won’t make much difference what we try to do.

If you were around in Dooley’ heyday, you would have had him fired long before he got the chance to win it all in ‘80. Reminds me of Alabama fans, especially in the first few years after the Bear passed on. Unrealistic expectations to the point of collective lunacy.

Who cares about the polls, anyway? Win the East and Georgia will be in the SECC game. If Georgia goes 13-1 and doesn’t get to play for the national title because of style points, then let them keep their mythical championship. The BCS is a joke.

The red zone problem and the penalty problem on the offensive side of the ball will fix itself when we get a healthy offensive line.

Bobo is doing great to keep it together with all of the o-line injuries we have had this year.

Coach Richt may have to sign offensive linemen with all of the scholarships he has left this year.

And do not let the tech bloggers from the Grant Field of Wet Dreams fool you. Willie Martinez is doing a great job with the defensive team.

I do wich we had a strong hitter in the secondary that the other teams’ receivers felt they had to keep an eye on. Remember what Greg Blue would do to a receiver if he was unfortunate enough to catch the ball?

Bobo does have a problem. The old guys(like me) want him to run the ball when he gets inside the ten. The young guys want him to hang 51 on everybody, every game. The two interceptions were bad! but we survived. We are 5-1 and play Vandy at home Sat. That is all we should think about.

P.S. Do you think when Fla couldn’t make one yard against Ole Miss they should have fired their OC? Now he is the most brilliant OC in the land after getting a tipped pass on third and 12 for a td. Who wants to have a job where you future depends on what 18 year old kids do?

PATHETIC????? Yes indeed you are!!!! Quite ignorant also!!!!!

Some of you people need to get over yourselves. you nor I know what the h*ll you are talking about. coaches at this level spend countless hours studying film and breaking down tendacies via computer. Then they select certain plays that could/should be sucessful against a certain defense. They do the very best they can to put our players in a situation that should help them be sucessful.

BUT guess what….there are highly paid, competant coaches for the other team that have very skilled players doing the same thing.

Do our coaches know whay they are doing…CERTAINLY!!! Are some coaches better than others….YES!!! I personally like our coaching staff. We have been spoiled…you Ga. fans are truly living the glory years of UGA football!!!!

If ANY coach…defensive or offensive cordinator could coach through hind-sight like WE do….he would never call the wrong play. HOWEVER…even if the perfect play is called…you still have to depend on a 19 to 21 year old player to execute properly in a very tense and emotionally charged situation against a very good player or players on the other team!!!

Example…Fulmer was talking on his show Sun. about the interception Ayers made on the screen pass. He talked about how much they scouted and practiced for that play last week. Ayers read his key quickly and reacted immediately…made a great play. If one of our DL’s had made that play, we would be talking about what a GREAT play he made.

BOTTOM LINE…WE PLAYED AND BEAT A DECENT TN. TEAM AND WE BEAT THEM. WE HAD ALMOST 500 YDS OFFENSE. OUR DEFENSE HELD THEM TO 208 YDS.

GET THE H*LL OVER YOURSELVES!!!!!!!! oUR COAHES KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND YOU DO NOT.

WE HAVE AN EXTREMELY YOUNG OFFENSIVE LINE…PROBLY THE MOST IMPORTANT UNIT ON THE FOOTBALL TEAM(AFTER VANCE’S INJURY SAT. HAD 2 SOPH.’S, 2 TRUE FRESHMEN, AND A REDSHIRT FRESHMAN IN THE GAME.

Chip, How will Vance’s injury affect the TE situation? We know Tripp moved back to OT. Will Figgins not take the medical redshirt now?

I’m frustrated with our ineffectiveness in Red Zone as well but it’s not time to fire Bobo. One thing that would help down by the goal line would be to roll out Stafford then let him pick the open man. Usually in short yardage the TE or FB is open so we should be hitting them if the wr’s & rb’s are covered. Going into this game I thought Aaron White could have a breakout game, if we can hit him in the middle a few times a game it will give us another weapon. Once Chandler is back we should use more 2 TE sets.

I was pleased with changes made on D my only thing is why do we have to wait till after a bye week to see them? We should be able to make changes on a weekly basis & during the game

WE NEVER RUN A SLANT AND HARDLY RUN A CROSSING ROUTE. WHY? … also, it’s painfully obvious how much more in command we are when we line up in the I-formation over the no back shotgun formation… every time we line up in the “I” something positive happens. (IE the last drive .. all running plays .. running it down UT’s throats.) I hope we utilize Sutherland more now that he’s back… in the I-formation, if we want to really compete. We cannot afford to get cute on offense against the big boys coming up on our schedule or we’ll get killed.

The play calling is fine. It’s the execution that’s lagging. Then again we are beat up in the trenches. The main thing I worry about is the injured O-Line. Moreno is not going to be much of a threat running with a young, inexperienced O-Line. We are going to need to spread the offense out and hit some quick passes.

Vandy will give us a test. We can’t look ahead to LSU and UF.

My complaint is questionable 3rd down calls, especially 3rd and long. Time and Time again our WR’s run routes that are too short or way too long. I wish they’d be more aware of what they have to have to get that first down yardage. If its 3rd and 7 and your normal route calls for a 5yd in. It now has to be a 7 yd in. I don’t think our guy are coached to do this. It is all about moving the chains….correct? “

• Are you kidding me? Where do you think the defense is defending on 3rd and 7??? You think there will be much open at 7 yards? You think the defense hasn’t practiced or know your favorite routes in certain situations. You end up having to throw it short or long.

It aint as easy as all you fans make it out to be.

Amazing how we have one bad day in a particular statistical category and the haters and ignorant bandwagoners try to blow it in to some catostrophic epidemic. Get real. We’ve been in the red zone just as many times as the mighty Gators (#1 in the SEC in red zone offense) and scored just as many TDs as they have. That is a fact. We have done very well in the red zone this year. Very well. And we will likely continue to do well if the past is any indication.

In fact, this past Saturday notwithstanding, Georgia has been greatly improved in the red zone under Bobo as compared to when Richt was calling the plays. Look it up. Yet another FACT for you to stick in your pipe and smoke. At least part of that can be attributed to Knowshon’s nose for the endzone. However, against Tennessee our O-line was getting whipped in the red zone in run situations. Knowshon didn’t have a prayer on Saturday. It wasn’t the gameplan. We just couldn’t execute.

Fire Bobo? Change his philosophy? That is just absurd.

There is nothing wrong with what Coach Bobo has been doing. In Mark Richt I trust, and if Coach Richt trusts Bobo to call the plays, then there’s probably a pretty good reason. This too goes for Coach Martinez. He’s not Brian VanGorder, but VanGorder isn’t coming back anytime soon. Coach Martinez has done a good job, and our defense is ranked in the top 15 nationally year in year out under him. Let’s stop calling for the firing of guys that are doing their jobs better than any of us could possibly do it, and let’s remember that we have the HARDEST schedule in football. If we can walk away from this season with 2 losses or less, Coach Richt and his staff deserve a pat on the back.

there has Got to be something more innovative than the fade in the endzone. How many times has that worked in the last few years, not just this year. THat no look inside screen didn’t work against BAma or Tennessee. Both times I believe it killed good drives we had going. Why would you ever want to throw blind?

I’m not a Fla. fan but watching them execute their offense against LSU was a thing of pure beauty. It seemd like on every play Tebow had 4-5 options he could choose. LSU’s head must of been spinning. And it opened up fast for them, TEbow didn’t hold the ball waiting for someone to get open down the field. THis was a much different team than I saw play Ole Miss. At the 1st of the year I wasn’t concerned about FLA, now I am. Go DOGS!

Tony, I think that tyhe 458 is harped upon, because we were unable to do that just 2 weeks ago and it just proves that the offense is capable of moving the ball. Given your concern about scoring points, I would think that ball control would be a pretty big deal. Isn’t the idea finding the postive and working on the negatives? Adjusting plays and making less mistakes can be worked on. Room for improvement to be sure. But moving the football is pretty critical to even get into position to score, wouldn’t you say? Not to mention keeping our defense a bit fresher, which appearanlty does wonders.

Chip, I agree with your comments and stats. Reading the blog after the game Saturday, you could almost think that we had lost. I feel like the Bulldog Nation is moving towards being like Bama’s- full of delusional fans calling for blood every time we win by less than 1000 points. This must stop.

Obviously, the red zone gaffes were irritating, but stepping back, there was really no point where Tennessee was in the game. Whenever we needed points, the O went right through UT’s defense. And hats off to Bobo for that 11 minute drive in the 4th- just like the 2002 Ole Miss game. That two-minute drill at the half was a thing of beauty as well, even if it was aided by two boneheaded Vol penalties.

Losing Vince Vance will hurt big time. We played well without him in the 4th though, so hopefully that continues. Penalties still got us this week, but at least none of them were flagrant personal fouls and 2 were strategic calls to get better field position.

LSU’s defense looked pitiful- hopefully we can run roughshod over it on the Bayou in two weeks. The Cocktail Party should be one for the ages- can’t wait.

One more thing about the fade route in teh endzone. Stafford doesn’t look comfortable throwing it. He looks scared that it will be intercepted, so he throws it too flat and too hard. The balls I saw him throw Saturday looked uncatchable even if the receivers had been wide open.

I know everyone of you, and me included, knows you throw a lob to the corner, high and soft. And you just have to trust that your guy goes up and grabs that rebound. I never saw our receivers even get that chance. Usually close to the goal line a back or the tight end have the best chance at getting open. I haven’t seen that yet.

I like Mike Bobo and feel that he’s doing a good job. The only thing that concerns me is in the red zone. It seems that the play-calling changes and the gimmicks start coming out. Running our QB as much as we did was strange as was the absense of the touchdown maker Mr. Moreno. I definitely think that Moreno needed more touches in the red zone, just not up the middle every time. Hopefully, Bobo will learn from this game and make the proper adjustments. I prefer his play-calling to Mark Richt’s. Maybe that’s why everyone is complaining about the play-calling….it looked too much like Richt’s in the red zone (as in looking like they were trying to set up for a field goal). I really think that we are getting close to exploding. Very similar to 2002 when we had red zone issues and exploded at the end of the year. Hopefully it will start this week.

I’m not the biggest fan of Bobo’s but I do think he’s done a pretty damn good job. Us crazy fans of UGA football are just too demanding sometimes, especially right after a bad loss and forget that most of the time we play really well. Thus far into this injury plagued season, I believe that the coaching staff has done very well with what they’ve got to work with. If we could get the penalty situation under control we’d be much better. Giving the opponent 80+ yards a game isn’t helping any of our coaches.

YoungDawg: Apparently you didn’t read today’s story. Yes, Figgins has opted to stick out the season. That will allow the Bulldogs to move Tripp back to LT. But Boling — who was named SEC lineman of the week today — will start there and they can use Josh Davis, Justin Anderson and Cordy Glenn, too.… . As for tight end, Chandler is supposed to miss Saturday’s game but the coaches feel they make make do with Figgins and Aron White, who apparently also had a good game. Meanwhile, FBs Southerland and Chapas both got snaps at TE on Saturday. So they’re feeling pretty good about the situation.

A game plane is simply just that: a plan. Adjustments are an offensive coordinator’s proof of value. You cannot lay experience aside when evaluating one’s current value. Bobo’s value appears to be in planning and not necessarily in winning. In a war, victory most often is achieved through a balance of intelligence(planning) and wisdom(experience) in combination with all the other qualities: courage, strength etc. Bobo’s has potential, but can that be realized soon enough?

His appointment as the play caller may prove to be out of expediency rather than wisdom (Mark Richt’s)

I hate to get on coaches for play calling especially when it was effective everywhere else but the red zone. I do wonder why when you have Nolan Ryan in the pocket, you ask him to throw a change up fade to the end zone numerous times. Crossing rout, curl anyone? They won, unimpressively but they won. In this sense I think it’s less Bobo’s fault than it is the rather undiciplined players fault. The execution was not good. They looked almost like they hadn’t practiced at times in the red zone. Not good off a bye week. They have some guys that need to grow up on both sides of the ball. If that happens… they have a great shot at the SEC championship.

Bobo has done a good job offensively being ranked one of the best if not the best in the SEC. They are fairly consistent in every game…very balanced in both running and passing to throw off the defense of the opposing team. The defense is good but could be better. I guess we should expect the defense to collapse at least once a year while Martinez is the coach.

Chip, My rationale to my wife on Saturday was this: “if we are moving the ball well, have the game pretty much in hand, why not keep trying some plays in game-speed and get in some practice. thus, the multiple fade routes. from my arm-chair, i’m guessing bobo was getting in some much needed ‘real-world’ work. should be great for the film room/practice fields this week. it’s possible we perfect it and score multiple times this year moving forward”.

Chip,

Here is how I have seen the play calling this year: Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems to me that we are relying too much on our passing game. Almost as if we are passing to open up the running game. I know we have extremely talented receivers and QB, but we also have an amazing running back. If you look back at last year, we pounded Moreno to great success, thus opening up the passing game, then Stafford hit some major passes and scored points. I think this also took pressure off of Stafford and he was much more comfortable in the pocket and was able to make good reads. This year, he has not done a great job and most of his reads have seemed to be greater than 20 yards down the field, forgetting about the guys underneath.

Historically under CMR, we have also been quick to abandon the running game. If you remember from back in 2001 or so, about halfway through the season CMR realized we needed to rely on the running game more, and used converted FB to TB, Verron Haynes to run the ball with great success. Granted he wasn’t breaking off amazing plays like KM, but we just pounded it effectively.

How about last year’s Florida game? I think on the opening drive (which we scored) we ran the ball about 12 - 13 times in a row before even passing it. It seems that whenever we take our opening drive and methodically move the ball down the field, set the tempo of the game, etc. we are really dangerous and really good!!!! If I am the coaching staff and I win the toss, I take the kick off first every game.

I may be wrong, but what do you think?

Overall I am pleased with Bobo’s play calling. The one thing that drives me crazy though is that he repeats things an innumberable amount of times. Like that bunch set by the 3rd time they played from that set the defense knew that it could crowd the line and play its safeties up, because they didn’t have to worry about deep coverage. Bobo runs a good game until he reaches the end of his script and then he just repeats everything with ever diminishing returns.

I think for the most part Chip you can pretty much ignore those fans that are e-mailing you during the game. Let’s face it, 99% of the fans are pretty ignorant about football strategy and preparation, or they would be doing it for a living. I don’t see any of the coaching staff writing e-mails to teachers, lawyers, truck drivers or office workers criticizing their abilities or decisions. Those fans are just vetting. There’s not a one of them that knows more about Georgia’s offense than Richt and Bobo. Richt is one of the most successful young head coaches in football and proved his competence for years before that as FSU’s OC. If he didn’t think Bobo could do the job he wouldn’t have given it to him. We know what the weak areas of the team are, and it isn’t coaching. Do what the rest of us do when we read what these ignoramouses have to say… laugh knowingly, then ignore it.

I think Bobo’s play calling has been adequate, but I am like everyone else who feels that the execution of the players was poor. The fade to Michael Moore was an obvious miscommunication between him and Stafford and the QB was throwing to a spot.

My observations and concerns are strictly on the defensive side of the ball. Our interior lineman are ok, but we have yet to see any of the Defensive ends do a good job of providing pressure to the QB on the outside. Also, if I am an opposing QB and I look across the field and see #3 in red, I am throwing it his way. This guy has blown at least 2-3 coverages a game this year. He is probably an outstanding DB, but as an armchair QB, he looks less than average.

Last week was Willie Martinez’ turn to get the complaints and this week is Coach Bobo’s turn. Bobo gets a pass because (i) UGA wins and (ii) the OL is chewed up. Meanwhile Auburn’s OC and Clempson’s coach are gone. Michigan, with a first-year coach, loses to Toledo. Will Muschamp’s stock just went through the ceiling after Texas/OU — I just have this feeling about him hiring Kirby Smart (and maybe Derek Dooley) at wherever Muschamp ends up. My local Auburn friend said Staurday morning, “Just watch, Arkansas will have their game of the year against us today.”

The fade would be a good play if the QB and the receiver were working out of the same playbook. I agree that with the height of some of our receivers, it’s an odds on favorite but the fact remains, it simply didn’t work and they went to the well too often with it.

My main gripe offensively is how much they throw medium to deep passes on 1st and 10. Odds of completing them is so much less and then you’re stuck with 2nd and 10 off the bat. I also have yet to see Stafford develop into the QB he should be by this point. The defense should know where the ball is going as soon and Stafford drops back because he’s looking at the intended receiver every time and he throws into double and triple coverage WAAAAAAAAYYYYY too much. All that I don’t get. Besides that, they need to clean up the penalties, settle on an OL if injuries permit and work on their red zone offense which has been either pitiful or a thing of beauty from one year to the next. The schedule’s only getting harder, so they need to get it right quickly. Go Dawgs!

As a Tech fan, I say keep Bobo!
But really, UGA should forget all the fancy offenses and go back to good old fashioned running the football. (Make Vince Dooley the offensive coordinator … lol). Knowshon is a great back that Bobo is not taking advantage of enough. They could easily run the ball 30 times a game (like Hershel did), and with King as the backup, keep both backs fresh all game. If the defense puts 9 in the box, then pass over top. When they did pass, it would leave Green wide open. Moreno is such a good back that if you give him enough chances, he will break off the long touchdown runs. Quit getting caught up in all the fancy offenses, bring back Vince Dooley football, and just win. Or not, and make up Tech fans happy.

This is changing the subject a little bit but what I just read on Tommy Bowden’s leaving is burning me up. It’s bad enough to ask a coach to leave midway through the season for not meeting expectations, but some of the quotes from players and their parents really disgusted me.

Here’s a quote from the wire services from their former starting quarterback: “They just told us. It’s what he deserved,” said senior quarterback Cullen Harper, who was benched after the Tigers’ loss to Wake Forest loss and replaced by highly regarded sophomore Willy Korn. “Dabo Swinney is a fine man and will do an excellent job. His father, Jeff Harper, an offensive lineman on Georgia’s 1980 national championship team, said Bowden’s dismissal was justified.

I have to say as a lifelong bulldog (50 years) I’m ashamed a former Bulldog and his son have no more class than that. But then I also wonder, why would the reporter seek a quote from a senior quarterback who was benched for his performance by the coach that was just asked to leave?

I would like to think that even though our fans may sometimes be classless and ignorant about the criticisms they have of the coaching staff, our players would have more class than to smear a coach that just lost his job because his players weren’t executing. And thier daddy’s should just keep their opinions to themselves.

I have loved Bobo’s redzone play calling for the most part. in the redzone you have to be creative at times when you play a solid defense like UT’s. i thought we confused creative with cute a couple of times. we were moving the ball very well and it would have been nice to at least get a couple of field goals there. if we were not moving it at all then you go for the more cutesy trick type stuff. we just needed to get points. i still like the job he does week in and week out.

It is hard to argue with the offensive output, however, they were not as effective in the red zone, which usually lies in the hands of the OC. We went to the fade 3 times to many. But seriously, we had MS with over 300 yards passing and KM with over 100 yards rushing. It is hard to argue with the output, although we need better red zone results to be Urban Cryer

Sure, if Dawg fans knew before the game the final score would be 26-14 in favor of the Dawgs, we all would have partied in the streets and just shrugged our shoulders at every bad play that occurred.

One vote for Bobo.

He didn’t drop the pass in the end zone. If that play had been made and the final score was 30-14, not as many people would be grousing. Bobo could have called one less fade after the other two failed miserably, but who knows, maybe he thought third time was a charm! As far as running vs pass, the beat up O-line pass blocked more effectively than run blocked against UT. So, as people say, play to your strength.

If you are upset with Bobo with the fades and then say he should have run more in the red zone when we were being stuffed at the line inside the 10, are double-talking. We should have caught the passes. simple.

The only problem I have with Bobo’s play calling is he sometimes tries to get too cute with the plays. Over all, he does a soild job, and in the 2 minute offense he is dang near flawless calling plays.

Chip, Just get us piped into Bobo’s headset and we can make sure the game goes the way we all want it to. “Statue of Liberty” anyone. 458 against the formerly #1 defense in the SEC is alright with me. Sure that damn fade route (thought I was trapped in “Groundhog Day”) got old especially when we have the guys to catch it up the middle or across the field. Keep it going Bobo just beat Florida and LSU. Get that O line healthy and working together. Without that it is tough to run the ball. Here’s to Vandy not being able to hang with us this year.

I wonder where some of our fans get their rose colored glasses? Is it at Walmart. Some are saying wow “look at the stats !” “look at the stats!”. Fact is Tennessee Sucks. A lot of fans and other folks are not impressed. If UGa had played a team like USC West or a Texas or an Oklahoma then yes that would be impressive. Fulmers program is on the downside and the Tennessee folks are ready to have him fired because he allowed the Dawgs to win this past Saturday.This most important stat is on the scoreboard and UGA squandered many opportunities on that stat to coincide with yardage stats! Both Bobo And Willie are Jokes and I Applaud Tommy at Auburn along with Clemson doing something about mediocrity. Its time for Richt to to have some family jewels and do something or loyalty will get him in trouble just like Bowden at Clemson for sticking with his offensive Coordinator.

Haven’t read any of the posts above yet, but here is my take:

Bobo did a very good job calling plays particularly in the 1st half. I loved the toss sweeps, the screen passes were very effective, and there were some terrific pass plays called as well. Keep in mind he called a play that hit Green right in the hands in the end zone with nobody around him. As a playcaller when you have your best receiver standing in the end zone all alone… that is a well drawn up play. Green will be fine… he is a freshman and he made a mistake… He is having a terrific season.

I actually like the fade pattern from around the 10 yard line, UGA has VERY tall receivers and we have had success with this in past games. HOWEVER, much like the sprint draw of 2 years ago… we overused it. The same is true for the misdirection short pass play.

It worked the first 2-3 times we ran it, but you can’t keep going to that well over and over again. Teams prepare for it and also make adjustments to it during the game. TN was obviously ready for the fade pattern.

My suggestion would be for UGA to go completely away from the fade and misdirection screen passes for a game or two, but keep that toss sweep as in integral part of the game. Did you see Southerland seal off the pursuit in the first half when Moreno came around on a toss sweep. That was beautiful!

Some of the complaints are justified, I didn’t like Bobo/Stafford throwing 40 yard bombs on 3rd and 6 when it was important that we pick up the 1st down in some of the earlier games.

The D played very well. The two touchdowns came off turnovers and a short field and one beautifully thrown ball by their QB accounted for about 25% of their total offense!

Sautee Dawg makes very good points.

Bobo does not call one play at a time. He calls a progression and if you read any anlysis from sports personnel that actually know something about football this is the reason that Clemson’s offense has been sputtering. No ryhme or reason to their playcalling.

Georgia’s inconsistent execution is what is making the playcalling look poor.

When Green dropped that touchdown we lost momentum and never really regained it.

We probably have not played a consistently executed 60 minutes since LSU 2004 in Athens….and i don’t think we dropped a pass that day.

If anyone should be taking heat it should be John Eason, WR coach.

One of those fade passses would have been caught, but Fulmer ate the ball - whole. One swallow.

I do think we should have run the ball down the gut more, but with this offensive line, maybe it would not have worked. Frankly, I think CMR and Bobo have a pretty good idea of what works. Tall receivers should open up that play, but the timing was just not right. Perhaps more practice would help.

Chip- I read your article filed at the end of the game and another of your blogs Sunday and thought both were downers due to the negative bull$hlt toward Bobo and Martinez. I applaud this blog for putting things in context of the game and stuffing the remarks where they belong. All of you stop the classless manure about replacing darn good coaches. That right only belongs to mRicht who plans and “oks” play calling from his coaches.

Leave the politics alone in my school’s football team. If it ain’t politics it’s too many kid’s play games many of you play with all week and begin to egotistically fancy yourselves as being offensive geniuses without ever having set foot on a field of play unlike these coaches who grew up under fire, have made it in college ball and don’t need your effitist comments in order to coach well.

You take a great victory and smear it with negative comments because the score didn’t go as high as many of us thought it should be. Lay off! This was an article to make up for some inadvertent comments of agreement with doomsdayers during a small part of the game. I’m glad it was written to give a more even analysis of the game because other articles had been highjacked and skewed to negative events of the game. Before the season started, our views were sought by this paper as to which game we feared most on our schedule. I picked Tenn because we had not solved what went wrong last year and, I feared, we would play them again under the same circumstances. We won and my fears were unsubstantiated (except for a few heart stopping moments!). We beat the best defense in the SEC! What the hell’s wrong with that?

Since Tenn was the best defense it’s obvious that our upcoming opponents(LSU/FU) don’t have as good a defense as Tenn’s. More fodder for our cannon full of plays our own fans disagree with. Are all of you nuts? The clouds just opened! We lost a good lineman and his replacement opened the left side like a can of peas. Our QB is in charge and to a man every team member is focused behind this leader. Can’t you read comments by players and others after the game and see that the psychological turning point for this season was just turned? If you don’t realize by now that the rest of our opponent’s defenses are suspect you won’t ever realize it.

What did you get from the FU/LSU game? That FU blew them out? I didn’t get that at all. That’s press fodder. I saw two below average SEC teams run points up on each other because their defenses are trashed. If you don’t think our new offense(new in regards to what we saw before the season started) will shred both of them then you didn’t watch the game imagining us lining up each time against their defenses as I did. Catch their replay this week and imagine Staff, our running backs and our receivers against theirs. Do the same for defense and you will begin to get the idea. Vandy, for their defense and Tech, for their offense, are the unknown factors now. Kentucky will be like So Car. when we play them. But the big buggaboos most of you saw at the beginning of the season showed me that we can beat them both.Handily. Unless you believe the cheerleading coach at FU who has to run up points to fool the press. By not recognising our defense and offense, the press has helped us. We are now under the radar ready to appear for those “press” games and let them know what this New team is about.

Nice game UgaVII. You did your pushups and went into your dog house when Tenn had the ball. You kept the Dawgs in check so that we stay under the radar. GOOD DOG!! Week after next you will get a treat! Why you ask? Oh! That will be for taking a Tiger down. Then the good times will roll!

Count me in as a Bobo fan.

People need to realize that Matt changes some of the plays at the line based on what he reads and if they work he is a genius. If they dont it’s Bobo’s fault?

Having said that, there is one play I would like to see torn out of the book and tossed into the circular file: The sprint draw.

After CMR gave up play calling I thought we had seen the last of this one, but someone dusted it off and it damn near got Knowshon killed in the backfield Saturday. It fools NO ONE. Never has and never will.

first there was the QB sweep now the fade

(actually a fade to the corner w/ AJ green makes sense-not against E. Berry- but these were more like throwing up for grabs in the middle of the end zone-pecuilar indeed)

and the blind screen is simply the most dangerous play in football-(remember protect the ball) the D has to bite on the fake but the QB still has no idea what is going on prior to the throw

I agree with Mikey in the SAV - everyone in the stadium knows we are going to run that when we line up in the shotgun with the tailback split to either side of the QB.

Gang- Rejoice in a good win. The W’s are falling into place for this tough schedule.

The players took some hard hits and fired back Sat. They are a bunch of gamers. Stop the silly play calling and get into their minds. Some of them were cold-cocked, but didn’t drop the ball. Our defense laid the wood to them! Tenn gave all they had and it was more than any game they have played all year because it was against the FEARED Dawgs. Ayers was in our backfield more than we were. What a great ball player. And Knowshon rolled up over a 100yds on the best defense in the SEC. That took a line moving players out of the way and runners holding onto the ball. The passing was close to 70%. Great game as a sample of more to come this year and next. Stop the silly playcalling from your computer desks and look at what just transpired. We beat Tenn for the first time in 3yrs! The players paid a price in pain and were still cheering when the game ended and in the locker room. It’s time all of you wake up and begin to cheer. Our team is back on track.

The key stat that Chip is missing is the SCORE. What good is 700 yards of offense if you can’t put the ball in the endzone? The play calling that I’m complaining about came in the red zone, not between the 20’s! It was clear to everyone in the stadium after the first two fade routes that the receivers and QB were not synced up. They needed to drop it and work on it this week in practice. Maybe Bobo thought that calling it a third time for the interception would catch the other team off guard since only an idiot would try that play again?! Even if this was Stafford on an audible, he should have already been told to leave it alone. Most of the other Dumbo plays were not in the audible playbook, they have to come from the coaches.

I will say this for Bobo. He could run the triple option better than any qb I have ever seen. But, he took a beating doing it. Why am I saying this? I believe he has some pet plays that he just can’t get away from. I saw the playbook on the CMR show last nite. That doggone thing must have been 3 inches thick. Having said that, I believe it is the truth that Bobo has a few pet plays such as Moreno up the middle, and that dang fade pass. Reminds me of my bud McCain, he keeps saying the same thing over and over. He has gotta change. Now, back to Bobo, I hope he will listen to the criticism and look at the films till his eyes are bloodshot, and finally admit that his playcalling was indeed repetitive, repetitive, and more of the same. One last thing, what is it with Moreno? After getting tackled, he kicks, flails his arms, and tosses the ball back over his head. Is he having a tantrum like a 3 year old. If somebody knows what that is all about, please help me out!!!!!

Altamaha Dawg,

2 fades in a row reciever was held tightly by defender. Matter of fact on both plays defender had Green held by the numbers on the front of his jersey and his back to the play. 1 got called the 2nd didn’t. Both plays happened in front of our section 120. Couldn’t tell about the other fade that was picked off, but looked like Stafford and reciever wasn’t on same page as to the timing of the fade.

Stop running Stafford.The risk of injury is greater than the possible gain. We also, have too many screen passes where the QB turns and almost throws blindly into an area that is crowded with defensive players. With Stafford’s arm we should throw more sideline patterns that are almost impossible to cover if done correctly.

While I would like to see Bobo open up the game a little with down field passing, it takes a QB to get the ball there and that is what Stafford has proven he is unable to do most of the time during the last three years. If it were not for the screen play and short curls (where the receiver is stationary), Stafford would have a completion % of around 30%.

The other question is our running plays, we should work the off-tackle plays into the gameplan because they work. Trapping a 400-lb. DT is never a good choice (Alabama).

As far as TN goes, the game plan was not bad, we threw more WR screens than usual but they were playing 8-10 yards off of A.J., you have to take the free yards.

When I go out out to a fine dining restaurant with my wife, and the food tastes like sh1t, it falls on the chef. I don’t have to be a chef to know the food was terrible. I don’t have to know what the chef did wrong or what he needs to change to make things right. The only thing I do know is that the food tasted like sh1t. I do know that here’s another chef out there that can make much better food.

I don’t have to be an offensive coordinator to know that Bobo’s play calling at critical times in the Red Zone is terrible. )Yes, NO DOUBT, some of it falls on the players’ ability to execute.) I don’t have to know what he’s doing wrong and I don’t have to know what he can do to fix it. But I do know his play calling sucks. We will not win a NC with a rookie calling plays getting “on the job training (we need someone who got that somewhere else)” calling plays that don’t get the job done.

Those of you who say those being “critical” try to call the plays, WE DON’T HAVE TO - we’re not getting paid o d it. But we can still recognize sh1tty food and sh1tty play calling AND call people out for it.

Don’t look for these fade passes to be taken out of the playbook anytime soon, most coners and safties are in the 5’10” size and A.J. Green is close to 6’4”. Bobo is going to keep calling them and Stafford is going to keep throwing them. Can’t believe our coaches didn’t call a timeout on that one fade where we got the holding call. An automatic first down at that point and we get 3 more tries at that fade pass.

Stats are just that stats. Sure we rolled up tons of yardage, we beat them severely on paper , but the fact of the matter is the outcome of the game wasn’t sealed until that last long drive in the 4th quarter. We let a poor Tennessee(compared to previous teams) team hang around when it should of been over at the half. We should of been able to play our 2nd and 3rd string the last 15-30 minutes but we couldn’t. One fumble or one interception by us down the stretch and the outcome would of been much different. THat type of ineffectiveness in the redzone will get us beat against the good teams FLA, LSU, Auburn, and Vandy.

Against Tennesse we did not do a good job of running plays to set up other plays and what I mean by that is, we went to that silly flanker screen way too much and Tennessee adjusted and dropped a DE into coverage and we got intercepted. Then we constanly ran the fade route that didn’t work and then eventually got picked. Off that flanker screen we should run some pump and go’s off this after it has been run a couple of times and if the fade wasn’t working the first couple times, throw in a fade stop. I really do not think we do a good job of running plays to set other plays up. We go to the well too many times and it is not hard for a defense to figure out what we are doing just by looking at our formations. We need to be more creative, throw knowshow and king out there at the same time and run a double screen and hit the open guy like Auburn use to do with Cadillac and Ronnie Brown. Also, in short yardage now that Southerland is back let’s line up Chapas, Southerland, and Moreno in the power-I in short yardage and run it down their throat. We have to play to our strengths and create mis-matches if we want to win the East. Just my two cents.

I Thought the plays that Bobo called in the redzone where Mo-Mass caught the touchdown pass, and the play where A.J. Green dropped his touchdown pass were very effective. Green was open by 20 yards on his play, May have been too wide open hit him in the hands though. That play to Mo-Mass is the same play we beat Ga. Tech with in Athens 2 years ago. Just my opinion but, i think Bobo’s doing a good job, he’s learning on the job and he’s called more good games than bad, anyone says he hasn’t needs to look at the win-loss record.

I have tried to stay off this blog since the lunatics took over not too long ago.. but i cannot stomach this garbage. Bobo is not perfect, but he is much better than most of you guys are willing to admit. We are starting the youngest line of any team in the top 25 in the country… that was the focus of an article in the Athens paper today… think about it. Bobo had a great game plan last week. The red zone problems are the product of inexperience and a lack of chemistry up front. I saw real progress in the offense last week. The quick passing game allowed Stafford to get in a rhythm he has never had before. I see a new emphasis on hitting quick passes and mixing it up a bit. That clock killing drive was a thing of beauty. Two weeks from now when Ga is sitting at 7 and 1 heading to Jacksonville, all of you will be singing the praises of Bobo’s brilliance, just like you were when Richt gave him the play calling duties.

After thinking through the game and watching the replay, I stand by my call for Bobo’s job. It’s not just this game but most of Ga games. Around the red zone area he looks to trick people instead of attacking them. This offensive with this patch up job offensive line should be doing more bootlegs and the pocket should be moved a little to help Stafford with protection. Have anyone of you ever saw a Georgis receiver run a slant? With all of the recievers we clkaim to have why is it that no one will run a slant pattern? Do we ever dump off to Moreno for a delayed swing pass screen? Why no put Moreno under center and run a lil WILDAWG pllay with Caleb King or AJ Green. We have to be lil more creative. The offense is to predictable and our line in not good enough to knock people off the ball without doing one thing and making the defense think we are going to do something else. AGainst VAndy we will prbably run a toss sweep to the strong side at least 10 to 15 times. Its the same ole stuff man we cant beat florida running plays like that.

Our, unbelievably injured and undersized line will not allow Bobo to line up and run the ball 60 times a game. Look at what Alabama did to our run game with just 7 in the box. EVERY SEC team can load up to stop the run.

We have a major problem in the defensive secondary. Allen needs help from the other 3. Florida may hang 60 on us if they throw it like they did against LSU.

This team is doing exceptionally well given the injuries. Look at the film and see how many on the defensive side, which limited UT to 1 yrd. rushing, were projected starters. We had 3 second string lb’s in place when Curran went out. We played with 50% of the dl. The secondary was going to have to rely on the 4 up front to get pressure on the qb this year. Have you not realized we play a nickle package most of the time?

We were probably a year off before the season started, with the injuries, if Stafford and Moreno come back, it’s a given that we are a year away from being really darn good.

Get off Bobo and Martinez’s back. Until you’ve walked in their shoes, and I have, you don’t know what the hell your talking about. Is your salary dependent on how 18-21 yr. old men carry out a plan? I’m glad mine isn’t anymore. I don’t care how much their getting paid, it isn’t worth putting up with arm chair qb’s that listen to talk radio and watch ESPN and think they are experts call for your job. Get a life you bunch of idiots.

Pathetic,

So you can’t name a specific ‘adjustment’ can you? Didn’t think so.

Can you tell us what our base defense was in 1980?

Also, speaking of adjustments, how did UT do in the second half vs. UGA Saturday?

Finally, name one other season where UGA went the first six games and gave up an average of less than 60 yards rushing per game.

It’s funny that most of the people that want coaches fired don’t have the cajones to use their real names. If I see a name like “pathetic” I just discount whatever they write as useless drivel. I would suggest that all true Dawg fans do the same. I will not gloat over Bowden’s firing. He did not reach the potential that his teams had, but that’s Clemson’s business, not mine. I agree with CMR’s comment on the Franklin situation, it is sad when someone gets fired. I have had to fire people and demote people and I got no joy from it. I always looked on firings and demotions as failures on My part as a leader.

You people are freaking nuts! All of this negativity comes from unrealistic expectations. Did you people think UGA would win every game 56-0?? That’s what one would have thought reading these blogs before the season began. In reality, you’ve got a 5-1 CONSISTENT Top10 program that most fans around the nation would long to have. Would most of you be complaining about this same exact season during the 90’s?? Think about what Mark Richt has done this decade.

For those of you b*** about the game calling, remember that these aren’t professionals that are being asked to execute, they are kids who are 19-21 years old. Get a grip people. The Dawgs will come to play versus Vandy, LSU, and Florida. The rest will take care of itself.

No nonsense Dawg,

There seems to be some sort of tangible benefit that certain idiots get through whining and complaining. I think it just makes them feel superior to others because, via inference, saying something is ‘bad’ means that you somehow know what is ‘good.’

I’m guessing that you and Denver ARE the types of bullies that would demean a waitress in a restaurant. Why? Because it makes you feel superior when in fact you are just morons.

If you don’t like the coaching, pull for Clemson or Auburn or just go the hell away because if 79 wins vs. 21 losses isn’t going to make you happy, it just isn’t meant to be. You are just miserable SOBs who want to make everyone else just as miserable as you are.

Why don’t you do this: Record the games on Saturday, but don’t watch them. Then find out the scores. The teams you like are the ones who won. Then watch those games and say to each play: “That’s exactly what Ida called. Me and dem dere coaches is so smart, ain’t we.”

lamar,

You need to get out more. I was watching the Dallas/Arizona game yesterday and was thinking of the idiots on the blog who believe that the solution to defense is two words: “man” and “blitz”

Reading what you idiots write you’d think that if defenses always played man and blitzed no one would ever score AND no DC has very thought about trying that.

Anyway back to Dallas/Arizona. Dallas blitzed and played man in the second half just about every play and the Cardinals made a play just about every time and won.

Did you happen to see what happened to LSU with the first score vs. UF? What were they playing? Man. What happened? Their man beat LSU’s man and scored a long TD. Now I’d bet they wish they were in Cover 2 instead. I’d also bet you don’t know why.

Doresey Hill……During the 17 years that Erk served as Georgia Bulldogs’ defensive coordinator, the ‘Dawgs played 192 games and held the opposition to 17 or fewer points in 135 of them. In 74 of those contests, the defense kept the other team’s scoring in the single digits, including 27 shutouts. Coach Erk Russell’s Georgia defenses allowed more than 28 points just 18 times in 17 seasons. Dorsey… I belive his defense was the split 60 with 4 down lineman with other variations. But Clearly Willie is no ERK and yes fooball has changed since ERK, but has Willie adjusted his game? …Hell NO!

As a former OC in college I believe that CMR and Bobo need to go back to some basics. Every play you design should be designed to score a touchdown. If it is executed properly and blocked it should score a TD. Georgia runs to many plays that do not apply this basic. How many times has Stafford thrown 25-30 yard outs when it is 3rd and 4 or 5. Those outs are not designed to score TD’s. A good Offense needs to be able to run the ball and make 1st downs. A well designed run play(especially with the best running back in the NCAA)that is well blocked will score a TD. Simple as that!!!!

Alpha Dog:

Your logic explains why you are a “former OC.” On every run play, you are playing 10 on 11. Your qb doesn’t block therefore you are counting on your RB to make 2 people miss. This philosophy of yours is also based on perfection which in every level of football is non-existent. When was the last game you coached where the offense scored on every play? Also, don’t you think every defense is designed to stop both the run and the pass every play? It’s not as simple as you make it sound, but then again, you sound like a freakin idiot.

By Alpha Dawg

October 13, 2008 7:57 PM | Link to this

Harry: It would seem that you are the idiot. If you run play to the left side then the left side of the defense is out of the play. Also if you run a sweep the QB is also available to block. you know that perfection is rarely achieved but if it is then you will score. A tunnel screen that Bobo ran 6 times according to the film will not be successful due to the adding of more defensive players to the area then offensive players.That’s a play that should removed…it doesn’t work!!

I love Coach Richt. I think Coach Bobo needs variety in his play calling. On the defensive side, willy needs to be more aggressive. His defense is to vanilla. Against mediocre offences were able to compete with no rush and a zone, but against good squads we struggle ex:BAMA! He does not adjust to the oppenent’s offense. Notice how the tight end for Carolina thrashed us all 4th quarter and he continued to let a linebacker cover him! That obviously couldn’t. Go Dawgs!!

Bobo’s playcalling is just too predictable. I mean, I haven’t played football in over 15 years, and I could tell what the play was and where it was going before they snapped the ball over 80 percent of the time. If I could do it, imagine what Tennessee’s defense and defensive coordinator saw. In my opinion, Georgia’s success so far has been due to their talent. They’ve won in spite of the coaching, not because of it. Just ask Alabama how important good coaching and proper gameplanning is.

Shut your pie hole Terrance Moore, I mean Chip Towers!! Bobo is doing a fine job playcalling. We have injury problems and even though Green is good he is a freshman. Green droped a wideopen TD the fade pass is a great call in the corner of the endzone, it just needs to be executed.

Martin, (I’m pretty sure the QB from TN’s NC year isn’t a UGA homer) was at the game said the most impressive thing to him was coach Bobo’s game plan. Stinchcomb said it was the best game plan of the year so far. In fact I have not read or seen one credible source saying Mike Bobo didnt have a good game plan and never does. In fact the ONLY folks I have seen say that seem to complain about everything every single week, no matter what , so it gets a little hard to take them serious any more.

It occurs to me that Knowshon was leading the nation in scoring the first three weeks of the season and we have decided to throw the ball every time we get in the red zone. If Phillip Rivers was throwing every single time in the red zone with a healthy Ladanian Tomlinson in the backfield the calls for removing the coach and/or Rivers would be all over the place. You have a touchdown machine with a nose for the end zone in Moreno. Sure, change it up every now and then but for the most part let him run it in!

The “G” stands for Georgia, you big dummy!

Perhaps the blame - if blame is actually needed - should be spread around. I wonder if the problem is the actual play being sent from the coaches, or the execution of said play. Go back to the Alabama game. Did the play “require” Stafford to throw deep into triple coverage, or did he miss other open receivers in single coverage. Certainly every passing play has many options. Is Stafford making the right decision?

I have also questioned some of the calls, but when Stafford checks at the line, keeps the ball himself, and gets nailed at the line of scrimmage, how is that Bobo’s fault?

The inconsistency of the offense will certainly bite us again - or Martinez’s defense will get torched in the air by someone else - so I don’t look for us to run the table. Sad, but I do believe true.

Dropped TD by AJ….7 pts. Uncalled hold on AJ on his first fade attempt in 1st qtr…….7 pts….go back and look at this one…..the DB was grabbing AJ’s jersey as he went past him. Unless the rule has changed, that’s defensive holding. Blown defensive holding call………..7 pts. Missed communication by Stafford & Moore……led to UT getting 7 and us losing at least 3.

How was any of that Bobo’s fault? UT has given up 1 rushing TD in 20 qtrs. And that 1 TD was to us. Should we have ran the ball more in the red zone? Maybe. But when UT stacks the box, you’re a fool if you don’t try to pass the ball. Get off Bobo’s case.

And for the idiot who said we need a new strength coach, Van Halanger and his guys have these players setting records in the weight room every season.

And one more thing……UGA’s practice squad could have beat Gardner Webb without having to block a FG attempt late in the 4th. Techies can make all the excuses they want — “It was our 3rd string kids……..” Blah, Blah, Blah. 3rd string at a D1 school should be geeked (no pun intended…….well, maybe just a little) at the opportunity to start no matter who they are playing and should not let a small school hang around like that!
