Coaching, it is always coaching if for no reason other than RECRUITING.
Felt like a recruiting victory. Same as TC. Even though he hasn’t been great at uga. Fans can’t get over itIf pope wasn’t the ballyhooed recruit, what would be the reaction to him
But let's all keep reiterating there's nothing to see here. These are clearly our best wr who must be beasts in practice and ******* game day cause clearly none of our others in wr room does it make sense to play in front of them... Smh. Some constants here but y'all refuse to acknowledge maybe when there's oke theirs fire. Y'all bumped your heads if you think this is any different in practice and none of our other wrs either show better in practice OR have the intangibles it makes sense to trot out there. Say whatever y'all would like. But if certain players continue to show they are exactly what they show they are and you still refuse not to try something else than it's just on y'all as coaches and fans to deal with the results.WR talent is most jarring. our guys just dont get open, dont have any hands, and arent physical. it limits what you can do esp against good defenses that are keying in to take away the run and tight ends.
U won't thoughI really hope this Saturday and going forward we get to see a lot more of Payton, Redding, X and Smith.
bingo. the WR is vastly overrated. pope busted and nothing has changed. harley is who he is. hes not a sure handed guy either. wiggins has one route and isnt physical. none of the receivers really get any separation either making it even harder on the QB to make a deep play
Great discussion SFS. IMHO, all 3 play a part. Over the first 4 games, King has not been accurate with the deep ball. Even the deep ball to Mallory was underthrown. King missed a wide open Harley on a deep TD against UAB, missed a wide open Payton for a TD against UAB, and he even missed Payton on a swing pass in the backfield against Clemson. King is a great runner, isn’t accurate at times. Still good enough to lead us back to the ACC-CGIn an discussion with a friend I went through and looked at our WR numbers.
1 game so far a WR has been the leading receiver. Outside of that game a TE and we even have 1 were an RB has out gained them also. None of them have had over 100 yards receiving yet and we barely have any over 50. Who does this fall on? Is it our QB not trusting them or having the arm strength to get it to them deep? Is it the play calling not putting them in the best spot to get open and turn it into big plays? Is it on the WR not getting open and being bullied (clearly their drops dont help)?
This is where I think the argument of Manny being more their friend then coach comes in and the issue of never playing the young guys cause of seniority issues.We can't keep using the WRs as an excuse for failure when there are a bunch of other WRs on the team to replace them with. If Pope, Wiggins and Harley can't play, then get them the fck off the field and play the other guys. And don't tell me **** about they ain't ready. Bytch, get them ready! That's your goddam job. It's WR. It ain't OL or DT. GET THEM READY.
No one's covered Key Smith yet. He's wide open every time he's out there, and he adjusts to the ball too. That dude can absolutely play. Fck practice. I know Smith can play, and he can play right now.But let's all keep reiterating there's nothing to see here.

That's the point. Some kids we flat out already know they should be getting pt over pope or harley yet for years now not only do we settle for it but we embrace it. We get fed **** & all we do is the lil english kid who says PLEASE SIR, CAN I AVE SOME MORE. That money has become the norm. All the smoke but none of the fire...No one's covered Key Smith yet.

It ain't rocket science with WRs. Either they can get open and catch the ball, or they can't. Sometimes, you don't know that until the band is playing, but it seems pretty obvious that the game was too big for Pope, Harley, and Wiggins the other night. Looked like guys who wear skinny jeans and carry backpacks out there.
Is not that he's their friend. That's a facade and it's the wrong impression. Im not gonna elaborate more though. As ****ed as I am I still see things for exactly what they are. Its not gonna change anytime soon now, so grab a snickers. Its gonna be awhile.This is where I think the argument of Manny being more their friend then coach comes in and the issue of never playing the young guys cause of seniority issues.
This is what I'm saying. You seen Smith absolutely BURN a defender and it would've been an easy TD but he had to slow down to wait for the ball and got tackled because of it. I'd rather see overthrows to our WRs than underthrows. We were in that game even at 17-35 midway through the 4th. And another point to note is not having Tae hurt us, because IMO speed to the outside is what hurt us, not runs to the inside. I'd put Tae as a permanent spy on Etienne on 3rd downs and he would've won at least 33% of those battles, if not half. But neither here nor there, that's why this 2021 class is so important because we have to have depth if one guy gets hurt somehow (ex: Tae) we have another stud we throw in there to help with the Etienne fire.Going with the veteran WRs to begin the season made sense while the youths find their way, but the freshmens can be thrown into the fire at this point. Payton, Redding, Smith have found their way onto the field but it's time to take the training wheels off.
