Our offense looked better when...

[Genghis Cane]

We had zero tight ends available. It forced Richt to abandon his go-to stuff and spread us out more. That, combined with a more up-tempo pace at times, made us look way better. It’s sad that it took injuries for our offense to change for the better.

So are you suggesting we should not have been playing our tightends more and go with this look, or maybe it just so happens that perry is developing!

 

[DemCanesByke]

I agree to some extent but I just think Perry looks more comfortable doesn't matter what he was calling Perry was dropping dimes.

The best way to use these two particular tight ends to our advantage is by going no huddle and dictate what the defense does

You bring them in tight and run, then go no huddle, flex them both out and pass

The defense has to pick their poison with the match up nightmare these tight ends create. They have to go more athletic to guard the pass, but that creates vulnerabilities in run game and vice versa...

 

[Go Canes!!]

We drove down the field and scored a TD to end the half throwing the ball to Mallory multiple times.

Maybe Perry has finally studied more film, gotten more serious about his job and is developing.

I said the same thing in another thread. It forced Richt to abandon his stubborn and predictable slow developing running game on every 1st and 2nd down and just get the ball to our play makers in space. That doesn’t necessarily mean we are better off with no TEs. It simply means sometimes Richt needs to get more creative with his play calling. Sometimes the passing game can set up the running game.

No, not suggesting this at all. My point is that it took injuries for us to become unpredictable for a few series.

Couldn’t have said it any better.

we could be spread with our TE's. Our tight ends are super sized wr's. You can flex out or slot our tight ends. Problem is majority of our formation have our TE's inline or as a h-back.

All I am hearing here is to never recruit another TE at TE University

Been saying it, perry was not and has not been operating this offense at a high level. You cant be running the read option with a qb that never actually kept the ball. This is the first game where perry was actually keeping the ball. When kaaya was the qb, we still ran the read option but it was always a quick route to throw it behind that cause coach richt along with everybody else knew brad wasnt running, he ran this same offense with chris weinke:

Less about TEs and more about flexing out to a 4-wide look. I think we need to shift more from one package to another pre-snap, but I suspect we'll see that with growth from and signal caller and once Richt get's two healthy TEs.

He deserves credit for sticking with Perry and getting him prepared for this game, then adjusting in-game based on injuries and keeping the team together overall. Way too much perseveration on some weak "play-calling" or "scheme" narrative. Dude said this was his toughest stretch as a HC and i'm sure he'll grow from it. This is only his second HC gig and the differences between programs, athletes, communities, administrators, expectations and the whole 9, may not have been more evident for him than over the last several weeks.

Everyone needs to be tougher in our program and take a more aggressive mentality, Richt included. I like the way he defended himself in the media and stuck to his guns through it all. Great team win on the road against a desperate VTech.
