The key IMO is what they do when they play a Clemson or Bama type and don't win the line of scrimmage. How sophisticated is their passing, how much practice reps do they put into that, how comfortable are they shifting away from run heavy into a different game plan.
This is my only concern.
What do we do when we are completely overmatched physically?
The reason I was big on the Brady hire is he has a short passing game that is quicker than the quickest for when the offfensive line is losing bad. Very few (if any?)coaches have that at this level.
Georgia completely destroyed Michigan up front and Gattis’ very good short passing game had no shot. There was not going to be any deep throws. There was no time. He needed plays that were quicker than even quick, but it wasn’t there.
There are only a handful of teams that can do that to us in the country. Gattis knows how to dominate an Ohio State level defense, but Georgia was on some historic ****. His synergy between the run game and short-intermediate passing game will dominate the vast majority of our opponents. His passing game will look better and get more big plays downfield because TVD is a lot better than the guy he had at Michigan.
If we make a playoff run, he will have to grow or there will be the same result. A Brady-like short passing game won’t guarantee victory, but it would give us a shot against ultra elite front 7s.
