I thought I wrote a post recently describing how Richt plays defense against us. Its a 3 man DL with a 4th and 5th guy right on the edge of the 2 outside DLs. These 4th and 5th guys are LB/DL hybrid types who can roam and help try to contain the perimeter plays. Then he plays 2-3 true LBs and very frequently fires 1 at the snap to try and disrupt the mesh.
There are quite a few plays that we can run with TaQuon that we couldn't run with JT5 that I think will help us with this defensive lineup, like Midline and Bubble. Also, counters can work pretty well too. Here is a queued up clip from the 2015 georgia game and our first offensive possession. If you stick with the video, you'll notice a trend of counter like plays over and over, all direct handoffs. So it appears to me CPJ knew what was coming from past experience, and tried to avoid those mesh interruption issues and also wanted to deal with their over pursuit to the playside. That far outside hybrid guy sitting on the edge appears to be told his only job is to not pursue but to set the edge to prevent those counters. But if we hit our blocks right, we'd have numbers on those plays because the rest of the defense flows hard playside. Especially on the first play notice how that play could have gone had Will Bryan been able to pick up his block better (I don't think missing his block was his fault, there was just a lot of traffic he couldn't get through).
