I felt like even when Homer was in the game, Richt went 5 wide no back more than half the time. Seemed like that was the game plan and when Homer went out, they essentially replaced him in the slot with a WR.
I feel like this is exactly the type of offense most of us were calling for all offeseason. Spread teams out, take advantage of match ups, and get the ball into the playmakers hands. Too many drops yesterday, but there were guys running wide open all game. I saw Jeff Thomas blow by his guy a few times, and even on that incomplete 4th down pass, Langham had great position but the ball was too low. ****, even on that dropped snapped that Rosier flung down field, Richards beat his man but the ball was a bit under thrown and the footing was terrible(not to mention the DB ran into Richards when he tried to comeback for the ball). Red zone play calling and execution is still an issue, but I love where this offense is going. Herndon is finally getting used properly. Malik is taking advantage of off coverage by getting the ball quick to WR for easy 7-8 yard gains. The last two weeks we finally see defense worn down in the fourth where the running game has been able to break a long run when it matters most. It’s not perfect, but the offense is starting to come together. Just need to continue to execute consistently and not have those lulls in the middle of the game. Should finally have a tune up week against NC, to try to clean things up. Before big games against VT and ND.
