[QUOTE="gtg936g, post: 494465, member: 623"] FWIW we are underdogs in this day and age of football. It doesn’t mean we can’t be competitive, but it does mean that we sometimes have days like today. The things that bother me are why we take so long to develop a QB, why we are always sluggish to start the year, why our LBs are so sluggish and don’t read their keys well, and why we can’t tackle. The offense plays a part in the QB development, but other programs with complex schemes seem to develop their QBs faster. I think with the experience we had returning we should have been able to start faster and win a few more earlier in the year. Some people say our offense is a gimmick, but people say that about Leach, and Spurrier’s offense too. Well, they all work well to me, so I am good with running a unique scheme to have a good offense. People often talk about not passing, or the lack of protection. Our scheme is simply not designed to give the QB a pocket. We use turn back protection a lot, but in reality that is hard to execute from a 3 pt stance and wide splits. It’s great for running and play action, but obvious passing downs really need to be slide protected or go to a different stance. This fit JT because he was short and we rolled him out a lot. He could also burn you if you over pursued. Vad struggled because he needed a pocket that we couldn’t give him. The same will be true with any similar QB. We need a burner with a good arm to have a passing game, or a Nesbitt that can out man a LB one on one. Both are tough finds. As far as the defense goes, I see a lot of progress that most don’t see. CNW had our guys in the right place a lot today, but we missed tackles by the dozens. Having 51 on the slot guy and having outside leverage on one of the UGA touchdowns being the exception. I think we will continue to see progress under Nate if we stay the course. We need to seriously evaluate how we are teaching angles and tackling techniques though. This may require some staff changes. [/QUOTE]
