Lack of rhythm and other cop outs


Sep 5, 2021, 12:41 PM

Lack of rhythm simply means that the plays called didn’t work sufficiently well to sustain drives. You can’t answer “why was the offensive not effective?” with we couldn’t sustain any rhythm, because you are just repeating the issue using other words. What you need to explain is why the plays didn’t work.

If the explanation is that the Quarterback and receivers were not on the same page, or that the quarterback should have stepped up in the pocket, or similar…why were those things not covered sufficiently in practice so that they wouldn’t be an issue?

We didn’t look prepared to play offense on Saturday and I’m not sure we can credit Georgia’s defense for all of our problems.

Reps in practice is only going to take you so far. Dabo has been saying for years that its hard to evaluate where you are as a team without a preseason scrimmage against another team. I am sure offensive coaches were fully aware of areas where we need to improve, but there just isn't any way to know exactly the size of the gap. In the end, they did the best they could to prepare but execution fell far short of that they hoped it would be.

Sometimes the road to the truth is so elusive it's confusing and reality becomes illusion.

Probably both. Georgia is tremendous on defense. And I simply don't think our Oline and D.J. were good enough to handle it. Weak Oline and statue qb not a prescription for success in today's college football.

I’m sure they knew it was an issue coming in and had probably been taking steps to fix it in practice and couldn’t. Eventually they have to play even if the coaches know they are not ready. Dabo or any of his coaches are ever going to say he weren’t ready or blame a coach or a player Dabo is going to take the heat. I’m confident behind the scenes is much different. I just hope the success the group of coaches has had in the past doesn’t block Dabo from being tough on them and calling them out and making changes either small or big if needed. That’s the only thing that worries me about Dabo is that his coaches have so many accomplishments together that he is going to let them continue doing the same thing believing that the plan of calls or whatever will come around eventually and things will continue to be mediocre.
