Youve been an extremely vocal Richt supporter and defender since the beginning, so it’s not surprising to see you defend him again as if he’s near flawless. As I mentioned to you and others during his first year, the irony is he even admits he has to keep adjusting himself. And, he proves that by his subsequent actions.
There’s a reason even the best teams try to add something (and I’m not talking trick plays) on top of their base, ‘just execute’ offense.
The margin of error in college is different. Sure, if the OLinemen all do their job, the RB makes the right read, the QB understands pre and post snap and the WRs catch...voila! But, things breakdown a lot. QBs and OLs need help. WRs need an edge every once in a while. RBs miss blocks.
I don’t understand why some are so against accepting that Coach Richt knows a ridiculous amount (obviously more than everyone here combined) of offense, but chooses to be very straightforward. And, that the approach has its pros and cons.
If you’re a D-Coordinator, you typically rather face a mostly straightforward, predictable offensive approach than the alternative. Coach Richt adjusts, as I noted and he has mentioned himself. We’ve seen it. At this point, I think most reasonable posters just wonder why it takes so many steps and what the rationale might be around some of the delays in the adjustments. It’s fairly obvious incrementalism.
Coach Richt is a seemingly rational man. He seemingly always has a reason behind what he does. So, while there certainly is a reason, isn’t it fair - on a message board no less - to wonder why, as only one example, the G and RT situations are still being worked on halfway through the season when 80% of this board openly talked about it during Fall camp? There are many situations/scenarios that could have put that expected vulnerability to a much earlier test. And, that’s just one example.
Agree.
The clowns that defend Richt to nauseam legit know nothing about what we’re griping about. That’s why I call them cult members, even former players gripe about how basic and vanilla the offense is.
There’s things you can do to help the ol, the qb and the entire offense. Just adding small wrinkles.
Every dc in America would prefer gameplanning four Richt than say a Clemson offense. Constant manipulation and confusion caused by simple movement, motions and shifts. Which causes breakdowns and allows easy scores. Those type of offenses have “found money” at least once or twice a game.
It’s fair to question a guy who’s previous program had qb / offense issues his last handful of years. And was one of the reasons he was canned,so he’s not above reproach.
Just because an ol misses a block or a wr drops a ball doesn’t mean the scheme as a whole has issues. It’s way bigger than that.
He needs help, somebody to bring him into the twenty first century. From and oc or special assistant.
Which I doubt he ever does.
