We need a Fullback and a power TE so we can just line up and smash these teams like UVA and Syracuse that hung with us this year. There’s only a few teams on the schedule that we couldn’t rely totally on this.
It's been said before, but I think a next significant step this team needs to make is just that....when we stop letting run of the mill mediocre ACC teams like UVA, Syracuse, GT, UNC and Pitt consistently hang in games with us and sometimes win, that's when you'll know we've turned that "physical" corner, especially up front. I for one am sick of all the whining about "playcalling," when it's so clear that the core issue here is that we can't push anyone around....especially on offense, but to some extent on defense too. The "playcalling" argument these people constantly make implies that they truly believe that this team would be undefeated and in the playoff, if only we'd run more pre-snap motion and jet sweeps. I mean, come on, get real. Of course plays that don't work can be criticized. As fans, this is very easy to do....but that is not the reason why we aren't in the playoff.
Richt himself said it all season long, even before any of the losses, that the team was not in a position to be able to impose its will on anyone. I'm pretty confident that he knows what a team like that looks like, and that he is trying his best to build one of them here.
