All camp all we heard about Delaney is how physical he his. In 2 games I dont think hes touched a player on the line
I love how cats get mad bc im pointing out that:
A) we have given up 800 yards in two games to second division teams and
B) Manny Diaz has a widely recognized history of fielding terrible defenses

It looked great against a weak Defense like Toledo, will it be the same vs ACC opponents?I really feel like the playcalling complaints are a bit overstated. In the first half, we barely even had the ball because most of the defense couldn’t tackle and I’m not sure the secondary could have covered Toledo’s cheerleaders. Not to mention a few dropped passes that would have all been big gains. Then in the second half we basically went full spread and rolled. What’s the problem?
Not trolling or anything, would simply like to hear specifically what was wrong with it. Obviously there was a good argument during that four loss streak, but I didn’t see any huge playcalling issues today.
Agree with most of your post.
Chad Thomas has not delivered in 2017. He needs to step it up.
Mark Richt scares the **** out of me. His play calling is erratic. It cost us two game last season. Hopefully he gets it together soon.
Need more Rosier designer run plays.
Great write up and your right the D is our biggest problem right now but the biggest thing you said in my opinion is that Richt needs anOC.
Until he brings one in,and I doubt he will due to His ego,this offense is never going to reach its full potential and that's a shame.
we scored 52 points and averaged 10 yards per play

Okay, the Elephant in the room is obvious, the **** Defense has regressed from last year.
I'll hold my L on that one, because I absolutely thought we would be better & play like we did in the 2nd half of the season.
And yes, I crowned Diaz too early, but **** wtf is going on out there?!?
The problem with the defense is the "creativity" of Manny Diaz attack with his zone blitz scheme. We have a fresh pack of DB's out there and it seems like Manny has put a daunting task on the secondary to know exactly where to be at all times. With all the fresh faces there needs to be simplicity.
We need to play more Nickel with a simple 2 deep man scheme. That way it allows the pass rush to get there by playing a tight press. By playing the zone blitz scheme we leave the shallow routes wide open, especially with the DB's playing so off the ball.
I think we are playing a counterintuitive defense to our personnel. By playing a zone scheme we are relying on the DB's to make quick reads on the QB/Ball and react in an efficient manner, however by playing so far off the ball there is a non-existent pass rush allowing for easy hot route reads from the opposing QB.
I thought the anonymous quote in the offseason about Manny Diaz "trying to do too much, gimmicky scheme" was a farce, but it seems to be true. We need to play more 2 deep man and allow the pressure to get there. Also, we have an absurd amount of mass subs going on which creates even further confusion when we are doing so much gimmicky roll action by the safeties.
Just my .02.
Replace Manny with Doritos and your post Seems like a post on the previous regime. Not a good look manny so far

We had an elite defense last year.
It's been two games. Calm down.

It's the same problem as last year. Richt goes conservative, leaves points on the field, then adjusts to a faster tempo pass heavy game plan. It prevents us from really separating and causes games to be closer than they should be. He needs an OC in the worst way.It looked great against a weak Defense like Toledo, will it be the same vs ACC opponents?I really feel like the playcalling complaints are a bit overstated.

I'm not saying Richt is the worse playcaller ever, but there were stints in the 1st half where the play calling left a lot on the field.
We should've went for it after that 82yd run by Walton, we got down to the 1yd line & couldn't score a TD.
3 bad run plays to the exact same side, should've called a quick slant out of the Gun to Cager or throw a corner fade Langham.
Not that it meant anything in the grand scheme of things, but it was noticeable imo.
I think our Offense is Good, but we have the talent to be Great & to me, it would actually help Richt out a lot if he had an additional playcaller/ another set of eyes to take hold of the Offense.

The main problem is Diaz. Everyone who followed football knew he was a terrible hire. Stats don't tell the whole story. We may get sacks a TFLs but 3rd downs have always been Diaz cryptonite. His gimmicky blitz no longer work as you can clearly see. His jig is up and coaches have him figures out. Tackling a problem? Gee I wonder why. Diaz brought that bull**** hawk style technique here. I get that it protects players but you need run through people and wrap up. Shaq was ding that bull**** hawk **** all game long and it cost him 5/6 tackles.
Special teams is still a disaster. MJ got really lucky. But why even get that close knowing it's 4th and 12? That's on coaching to explain this to the unit. Hartley is too ****ing green to coach TEs and ST.
I'm not gonna kill Rumph, but what is he teaching these kids. The technique is terrible.
GET OUT OF BASE DEFENSE MANNY! Put someone in the slot not named JoeJackson/ Trent harris
He always is good year 1. And he usually leaves after the1st year. That 2nd year he got exposed at texas.
