I'd love to know what Pete or D$ are hearing from inside

A pop warner coach wouldn't run RPO offense with a slow foot pocket passer. Richt has been trash as a play caller.

I'm afraid that Richt views his Offense the same way Alf views his Defense - it's not the scheme, it's the players. This doesn't bode well for us.

I'm not as close to the team as either of them, but Kaaya did not look like this in Fall practice. The offense did not look as disjointed and erratic during scrimmage play. The passes were far more accurate and the playcalls (formations, sets, etc.) weren't so much of a grab bag.

I was therefore hopeful, but as you can ask D$ and look back on certain posts, I mentioned one concern:

Kaaya still had to show the ability to extend plays within the pocket by climbing and moving laterally against a live DL. Our one TD drive yesterday shows the difference between a couple extra ticks created by a QB. You don't need to be a runner. You need subtle movements to create a tiny extension of the play.

Kaaya choosing to be a statute in the pocket and expecting the O-line to do their job has been one of the main issues with him this season. He better get that mindset out of here because in the NFL you're doomed unless you're behind an O-line like the Cowboys have.

You watch an OL like the Cowboys' - with basically 3-4 Pro Bowl level players - and you notice a significant difference when the QB moves his feet vs when the QB is a standing target. In modern football (blitzes, best athletes on the defensive edges), it's basically everything. That confuses some people and makes them think we need a running QB. Not necessary. Just need a feel for when to slide and not have your mechanics shot to **** by a slide up or across.

If the expectation is that 5 guys on an OL unit will perfectly hold their blocks on every play, you're setting yourself up for a really inconsistent offense. Now, in our case, you're expecting 4 Guards to perfectly uphold a clean pocket. That means Darling has to do what he's not built to do at LT. Mcdermott has play error free. Linder has to be aware to chip appropriately and/or pick up blitzes. Isidora has to play mistake free. We have to pray that our RT who, at best, will win battles 50% of the time is winning his battle.

Do you see how the odds are completely against a consistent drive unless you begin to reduce OL variables via playcalls? Get defenders out of the box. Get matchups inside the hashes in the passing game. Beg Kaaya to more aggressively slide.

If you guys think Rick is adding anyone that will have ANY input in the offensive playcalling then you haven't paid attention to anything he's said since the day he was hired. Not saying that's a good or bad thing but his entire mantra has been his return to daily coaching and controlling the offense- especially in relation to the power he relegated at UGA.

I don't disagree with any of this, but if the offense continues to sputter I hope he is smart enough and not too stubborn to look for help from the outside, unlike Golden who we all knew would never deviate from his philosophy.

Yes...Mistakes are made but should be destroyed:

Genesis 19:24

"From his ***** and the heavens above, the Lord rained down burning sulfur on the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah- thus he overthrew those cities and it's entire plain, thus killing all living in the cities.."

He needs to fire his son and start over...

He wants to hand the offensive reins to his son, he won't give up play calling until that has happened. Then we can go from one ****** play caller to another.

Cant wait

Is Brad hurt,why no shots downfield. Why run I- form without a true fullback with this offensive line.It's mind boggling ,to predictable.

Maybe this will help

There is this verse that says we will all have to answer for everything we do on this earth including whatever you write on these message boards.

2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.

LU, you're trying to reason with a mob. They're not listening. It's easier to blame the QB or coach.
 
Kaaya has terrible in pocket movement.... His mechanics break down at the hint of pressure...



Wouldn't mind seeing Herndon,fb and njoku,te wrt play action out of I form, maybe see a package for rozier once or twice a game just to mix things up if this underwhelming performance continues....

Agree 100% - but those couple of plays were complete luck, Kaaya did nothing on his own to extend those plays.

His last paragraph puts the onus on Recht. And blame.
 
Tom Brady has about the same speed as Brad Kaaya, but is a master of moving in the pocket to avoid rushers. I don't know if it's feel, anticipation, peripheral vision, but Kaaya has been horrible with this aspect of the QB position.

I think Manning and Brady take Kaaya in a foot race.

Not entirely. Read that paragraph in context with the rest of his comments. It's not like he's not trying to "reduce the variables". It's not like the offense is running like a finely oiled machine but the play calling still suck (except on third and 20 of course). He got defenders out of the box and on third down a pass bounces off someone's shoulder pads or there's an off-sides. He got match ups inside the hash marks and on forth down a pass is thrown behind an open receiver. You can say that he didn't go to it often enough but the only thing consistent is our failure to execute on critical downs. Richt can only dumb down the offense so much.

Now, I'm not saying that Richt doesn't share in the responsibility. He's the coach and he's tasked with finding a solution and fast. Any team will evolve to take on the characters of its coach. If Richt is indecisive or inflexible this team will play like it. And the longer it continues, the harder it will be to fix it in the spring even with a fresh transfusion of talent.
