How the **** did Rick miss this guy at UGA? He's a great TE.
I still can't believe they gave this Polendey kid a scholarship.
I've been saying this from the beginning. Why drop Gamble then go all the way out to Texas for a kid of Polendey's skill set? Makes zero sense to me
Thats because you think we are going to have this wide open offense with 3-4 WR sets and 2 TEs going up the seam like we are Oregon or the Patriots. Bruh, Richt is going to line that **** up and have Polendey sealing the edge 30-35 times a game for our running backs. He is a valuable scholie. Richt is still a "run to set up the pass" ole school playcaller.
If Rick wants to play football in a phone booth then all those stud receivers we are recruiting aren't going to want to come here anymore. Look man I'm fine with running the football and playing tough and fundamentally sound. I'm not okay with wasting elite skill position talent because Richt wants to take the air out of the football and run out the clock. This is Miami. We need to start playing like it.
We don't need to be Oregon or the Patriots to run a high octane offense that kids want to play in. We also don't need to air it out 50 times in order to run a "Miami" style offense. We can run and pass. The question is how you mix the two and what formations you use. Another thing is that if Rick goes into every game thinking that he's going to establish the run before he starts throwing then the game has passed him by. I'm still firmly behind Coach Richt but he does need to prove that he can run an offense that can light up the scoreboard. Manny Diaz has done a great job with the defense thus far. Now it's Richt's turn to show out. That's not being negative, that just being honest and fair.
