Just rewatched the game and....

[caneaddict]

No one is giving them a pass. I want to know why the same 5 guys are performing worse.

what do you mean performing worse? we got drubbed by Clemson, and North Carolina last year... and lost to wazzu in the bowl game, and beat a bunch of average to below average teams with losing records

Again, this is pathetic. Here are the stats, please explain the stats.

2016: GT, FSU, UNC and VT

Yards Per Game: 340 YPG
Points Per Game: 21 PPG

Record: 1-3


2015: GT, FSU, UNC and VT

Yards Per Game: 408 YPG
Points Per Game 28 PPG

Record: 2-2

Why are we scoring a TD less per game? Why are YPG down ~17%?

Instead of taking random games (i.e. Clemson) in which we don't play this year, just explain the above.

dumb analysis we scored nothing against Clemson and NC and scored 30 against VT with 5 turnovers and GT was about the same, averaging that out has no relevance to what actually happened

Is this english? Let us know when you have an excuse for the above. Let us know why yards and points are down.

 

[QuattroCane]

Jamal Carter recovers that fumble and...

We go 3 and out with 2 crappy runs and an incompletion, ND takes a shanked punt and scores the winning FG.

That's exactly what would have happened.

Please don't disparage the one constant good on the entire team.

Not sure how anyone could watch that game and not marvel at how bad our Oline is.

It was so completely horrible last year as well but for this year, we lost Sunny earlier and the rest of the guys are so beat down right now the brakes on their roller skates have worn out. Watching McDermott block the ground more times then his man was actually comical.

We made that DT look like a young Suh and they only had 6 sacks all year.

These dudes know they are not going anywhere with their careers and they are all getting their askes beat down every week not to mention in practice. I would not be surprised if half of them quit football altogether at the end of the year if not sooner.

People want to tout stats and ignore what they actually see on the field. The stats are skewed because the offense is clearly designed as much as possible (without a mobile QB) to keep the QB alive. I have never seen a more pathetic bunch of lineman at the U ever.

I guess that all 128 college football teams are just stupid then. Answer this Einstein. If he is such a great coach, then why hasn't any other team even offered him a job ? Also, a rooster is a **** chicken , a roster comprises a team of players you idiot.

Guess how I know you don't know what the fvck you're talking about?

People tout stats to prove their point.

What does that say about a coach that runs an offense with a QB who is incapable of running said offense?

Perhaps they were better as bloated slobs in F A G and Swasey's regimen than they are as lean, mean fighting machines in CMR and CGF's regimen?

Its not the same personal and if you would read I clearly stated that they were missing a key player. And the mix of whose playing is also different. McD was hurt much of last year and is a glaring weakness in the games this year. The simple fact is not only are they horribly bad they appear to have given up. I mean my god how can you do anything when the other team basically starts every play with one of their lineman starting next to brad. I have no idea if guys are playing injured or not but you dont have be a genius to know the comparing schemes is completely irrelevant when you can see on TV that these guys are losing their one on one battles left and right.

At the end of last season everyone was so deflated at how horrible the oline play was and we lose the on guy who might get to see an NFL roster one day and somehow people want to act like they dont understand how our oline is so bad. They have always been bad and they were the biggest weakness on our team last year and are even worse this year. That Notre Dame game is all you need to see... we took a below avg d line and an avg dt and made him look like Suh. Come on man!

 

[DTP]

There's no getting around the fact that the offensive line is **** poor. They were bad last year and they're worse this year. With even average line play Miami wins at least two if not three of the games they've lost this season. I'll give credit to the coaches for shifting the offensive game against ND. After looking like pure garbage juice the first quarter, they went with more short passes on first down and it really seemed to get the offense going. I'd way rather see a dump off to Herndon for four or five yards on first down than see Mark Walton getting tackled three yards behind the line because the offensive line got shoved on their asses and the defense was in the backfield before the handoff.

 

[JimmyJohnsonsHair]

I'm re-watching the game right now. The first half was an absolute abomination. Holy **** -- this OL is straight up terrible. It is not an exaggeration to say McDermott and St. Louis are not D1 caliber offensive linemen. They were getting tossed around like rag dolls. On top of that, you have Richt running the ball right up the middle on 1st and 2nd down on almost every possession into a stacked box. That play calling put us in too many 3rd and long, obvious passing situations. Kaaya had no chance. The few times he actually had time to pass he wasn't horrible.

So the reason we're performing worse is because R. Scott is gone? Is this serious?

Do you know that A. Richards is on pace to have more receiving yards than R. Scott? Does that change anything?

Linder was being raped by #94 all game. It was really sad to watch.

This is the worst OL in the history of the program.

We lost Scott (best WR), Waters, Cager, Brady, Jones & Langham. While Cager isn't on the level of AR15, he was supposed to be a key part of this offense. Waters was always solid. Brady would've seen a lot of snaps. Between Jones/Langham, it would have at worst given us more depth.. One very talented freshman WR doesn't replace that. Tthe lack of talent/depth (separation) at the skill position is grotesque and exposes our weakest unit (OL) that much further. That doesn't excuse the inconsistency in play calling (no idea why TE's aren't more involved) but I do know that Richt is extremely limited in what plays he can call and also what his QB can actually execute.

 

[kkinder94]

But I get it. Richt is a ground n pound coach, and until he gets his RBs and OLs here we won't have success offensively. 3rd and longs with Kayaa in the pocket are killing us. Just wish Richt would throw more on 1st and 2nd down. He opened the **** game with 3 straight run plays. Why? You aren't establishing a run game for the rest of the season. Accept it and play to Kayaa's strengths (shotgun, quick hitters, hitch routes, occasional deep balls, slants, TE seam, etc). We saw all of that in the 3rd quarter and it looked like a different offense.

.

This has been my complaint about Richt's playcalling this year. He is shoving the current players into his system even though it doesn't fit their skill set - kinda like Doritos did with his defense. Richt can eventually recruit his way to build his system but that isn't how we win now. From the end of the 2nd quarter to mid way through the 4th, we looked solid on offense: altered the pass blocking a bit, let Kayaa sling it from the shotgun, and the pass opened up the run a bit. Then the last two drives Richt went back to running on 1st and 2nd down. Sure, Kayaa holds the ball too long and can't float in the pocket; sure, the oline isn't good; sure, we make stupid penalties, but three scores more and we have three more wins this season (FSU, ND and UNC). Had we run our offense all season like we did at the mid point of ND, we would easily be 7-1. We might be 8-0 if our offense was better at VaTech. It just frustrates me Richt can't see that. He can put his system in place once he recruits his players. For now, do what it takes to win.

Because they don't fit into Richt's power run game system (maybe Darling at G).

We didn't line up last year and run right at you. And we certainly didn't play action from under center. That wasn't the offense. James Coley threw the ball out of SG (sometimes 45+ times a game) to set up the run. In fact anytime we had 3rd and short, or got inside the 5 yard line, we were unsuccessful converting due to crappy downhill run blocking.

Well those same players are back and still unsuccessful at power run blocking.

I think Richt has tried his best to make it work. We are throwing much more than he's used to, and doing so out of SG. But it just isn't clicking.

It's not always about talent. It's about guys fitting into a certain system well. Leach would have a hard time implementing his spread passing attack with Stanford or Wisconsin players. That's just not what they were recruited to do.

 

[jevoasis]

LAWD...the O line is **** now, and was **** last year. No 'regression' , just steaming piles of crap with more tape so that ANY OC can see where their weaknesses are. Bad players mane.

 

[DaU83]

they lost to duke, nc state.. for a solid 2-5 record.. they still probably have 2 more losses left in their season.

It says a lot that Richt is unable to change his scheme to fit his players. He wants to force that square peg.
