How many people **** their pants when we threw that fade on 4th and 1 in the 4th quarter?

We were in our classic Power I look; everybody and their grandmother expected us to run fullback dive and hand it to Gray.

But...we didn’t. I was in absolute disbelief. It only took us the whole season to run a different play out of that look.

It was 24-3 and the game was over. They could have done a triple reverse and I wouldn’t have gave a ****

The ONLY reason why we broke tendency is because Richt was trying to get Langham a TD on Senior Day. That's really it. I don't think it had anything at all to do about breaking tendency in a strategic way.

And Langham should have caught it too
 
Unfortunately, this is probably the truth.

This is not to mention the fact that calling a fade route may be the laziest play call in football. Well, maybe 2nd laziest right after FB dive. Now, if they had come out in some sort of bunch formation and run a scrape concept creating traffic for the DB's to run through and tried to actually scheme a guy open, then we might have something to talk about.

I'm convinced that the BOT, while ponying up big for coaching salaries and facilities, has insisted that they can't afford to upgrade the film facilities for the football offices beyond Charlie Chaplin silent film tech, and Richt hasn't heard of HD or digital memory devices, so Mark and Jon are truly unaware of modern offense. (sarcasm)

they don't get separation mainly because to the design of the passing tree. no imagination and the plays are well known to the defense.
Exactly!! Our offense this year ranked 93. That is pathetic.
 
Maybe cmr bought waterboys coaches offensive playbook.thought it was a safe time try a play out of it.
 
How many people expected that very play to be thrown to Langham . . . . . but by Malik Rosier? THAT would have been the classy move.

You sure? Then why didn't Rosier get any snaps?

My answer to that is Rosier stole his Senior Day snaps he could have gotten during the UVA/BC/Duke games...he was on borrowed time already at that point. He didn't deserve any on Saturday - it's Kosi's team as of now. Most of Kosi's struggles weren't due to poor throws (yes, he had some bad ones), but mainly due to his WRs dropping everything in sight or not looking for the ball (ala Cager up the seam that would have been a walk in TD).

Besides - this thread isn't about Rosier, it's about why Richt called that play to Langham. One school of thought is that it was truly a creative playcall when everyone in the stadium thought it was a FB dive to pick it up. The other is understanding that we had the game in-hand, it was Senior Day, and we were close enough to the endzone to give Langham a chance at a jump ball. I choose to believe the latter due to Richt being more sentimental in his playcalling and coaching than he is innovative.

So as I suspected you made up the "The ONLY reason why we broke tendency is because Richt was trying to get Langham a TD on Senior Day. " ..to take a petty shot " I don't think it had anything at all to do about breaking tendency in a strategic way. " at the coach.

It's all good dude but just admit it rather than doubling down.

If the game was in hand (it was) and CMR was simpy doling out good will to seniors as you claims Rosier would have gotten some snaps. Can't have it both ways.

It was kind of both - I'm giving Richt credit for the sentiment, but not for any assumed innovative call there. I think that getting a Langham a TD on Senior Day in that situation was important to Richt...seemed obvious from the stands as myself and others watched it happen and pretty much said the same thing. I also think that this wasn't "breaking tendency" to catch a team off guard when we didn't need to. We were up big late...where was this innovation in other parts of the season when we actually could have used it? Call it a shot if you want to...at this point, if making a decent assumption on why something happened up 24-3 versus Pitt is taking a shot at CMR...so be it.

While I can obviously say I don't know for 100% certain what Richt's thinking was on that play (and neither do you), I don't think that it's a far cry to make the assertion I and several others have made regarding that particular play call.

NOW who's making stuff up...just because he didn't dole out snaps to Rosier like you wanted doesn't mean that he didn't make that play call to Langham with the thought of getting him a TD on Senior Day. Your Rosier red herring doesn't have to be true for my thought on why he called the play to Langham to be true. Mutually exclusive scenarios there.

**** - at least we were up 24-3 and could afford to make that kind of call to throw a ball up to Langham on Senior Day to try and get him a TD as a final send off...if that was indeed Richt's thinking. I don't think it stemmed from Richt deciding to all of the sudden be clever with the playcall out of that formation as the OP was implying, however.

As for all this Rosier BS that didn't happen you tried to throw into the conversation...take that up with CMR with you want. I don't ******* know one way or another what his thinking was on that. I gave you my thinking about it. You don't like it, move along.

Fair enough! Thanks

We did it against Va Tech too. We drew the penalty and got the first down.
