In the grand scheme of modern day college football, last weekend was just a minor setback, everything is still in front of these Dawgs, keep improving and be hitting on all cylinders by season’s end and let’s see where they go.
Go Dawgs!
Soon as I can catch her.
Me thinks Kelly isn’t a straight A student.
Why can’t we ever have a 2nd string D get off the field?? Dammit.
The over/under was 48.5?
yeah
Funny how that works
3rd and 8. How will they get the 1st this time?
Good freaking grief.
JFC… bama broke us by discovering we can’t stop 3rd/4th down plays.
3rd and Schumann
and 4th and Shumann…but we gave them several first down on penalties…
Bama’s qb/wr combo is weak too!
Other than this extremely painful 2nd string exercise in perfecting Kirbys bend but dont break philosophy, I’m fairly impressed with the Dawgs performance today. Not sure how that might change if Vandy beats Bama again. Lol. Go Vandy!!!
How vanilla is your D when friggin’ Jesse Palmer calls you out for lack of creativity? He clearly pointed out that we line up our DL exactly the same every 3rd down. No scheming, no trickery. I think we got too complacent out physicalling teams in the past and still don’t realize we need to scheme now.
What has happened to that DL sudden shift we used to do? Did they outlaw that?
They did. No sudden movements towards the line pre snap either.
So an LB can’t run up showing or faking a blitz either? That explains a lot.
On a post this week I said that they would continue to make rules to limit the D and create more scoring.
They were not moving TO the line before. It was all lateral movement.
Vanderbilt just did it and sacked Simpson.
Scary when Jessie the brain Palmer has you figured out. Hopefully it’s just the big lead not wanting to show anything new.
Not getting pressure by DL backed up with suspect DB play is no way to go through the SEC.
We are saving it so we can screw it up later in the season.
Jessie Palmer said it?
He’s like a defensive football savant and stuff.
Don’t trust your own eyes or watch film breakdowns. Listen to the sports media guys. They know.
After all Jesse is brilliant at all things!

He ain’t wrong on this one. Remember even a broken clock is right twice a day.
I really don’t think how you line up matters much. In fact, if you always look the same presnap its harder to know what we’re up to.
What matters is what happens after the snap.
If it doesn’t matter, then why did Kirby do it for years? It changes the blocking assignments, so you are hoping that someone gets confused on who they are supposed to take, and one gets free ESPECICALLY if you are bringing a LB or DB on a blitz (that we apparently have forgotten that you are allowed to do every now and again).
But that’s kind of the point, nothing is happening after the snap. I’ve become frustrated watching the complete lack of aggression this season. It’s gone down each of the last three years. Players? Coaches? Youth? Don’t know but it’s not a championship formula.
They don’t let us stem anymore, remember?
We have some fans that say we’re too complicated and some that say we’re too vanilla. Shocking. I read a comment a few seconds ago saying that we can’t win the LOS vs UF so we’ll have to manball. *sigh*
I say fans tend to be full of shit and guys with championship trophies are more worthy of my trust than fans who as a rule, don’t know shit.
There is a difference between lining up and letting the opposing coaches get clues as to what you are up to presnap and switching looks right at the snap.
The difference? Not being able to adjust to the change.
Football prep (its called “scouting.” There is also “self-scouting” which is “are we giving clues away by how we line up?”) is spent looking for clues from how people line up in certain situations so that you can predict what’s next and take advantage.
If you can’t tell what’s next because:
A) they line up exactly the same every time
OR
B) they are able to change the picture after the snap (not an option for a front btw)
then any scouter (or self-scouter) is going to conclude that you’re doing it right. Folks who don’t get that should be on or watching The Bachelor and keeping their sewers shut about football strategy and tactics until their cranialrectosis has been adequately addressed.
Can Ellis Robinson run a route? Good catch
Go Dawgs!
My deepest, warmest, strawberry shortcake wish is to find the motherfucking university of georgia tight ends and defensive pass rush/pressure on Saturday, October the 11th.
Dawgs surely a work in progress. I don’t see any gimmes on the rest of the schedule.
Today was a good step forward…injuries not considered.
