Why do some blame just Kaaya? Or just the OL? Or just Richt?
Kaaya has not looked good. Whether it's the coaching, whether it's his shoulder, whether it's his cement feet, whether it's his OL, whether that he was overrated, he's having an average year.
The OL is dog****. No way around that.
Richt is not calling good games, and not game planning well. Some of that has to do with Kaaya, some of that has to do with the ****** OL, some of it looks worse because our WRs and TEs drop a lot of passes, but some or a lot is on Richt himself. He is stubborn and he's called conservative games. Now we get to see if he breaks away from it, or if this is what we get.
One thing that's being discarded because everyone (rightfully hates Golden) is lack of depth. People say it's an excuse. Fine, it's an excuse, but it's a ******* valid excuse. We started the game against UNC with 66 scholarship players. I-A teams get 85. I-AA teams get 65. We started the ******* game with 1 more scholarship player than a I-AA team. During the game we had 6 players get injured. Jackson, Thomas and Redwine did not return. We finished the game with 63 scholarship players. Do we have more talent than UNC? Probably, but not 1-85....BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE 85 SCHOLARSHIP PLAYERS. We lost Cager, AQM, Grace before the season. Now we lost Sonny for the season (likely). Willis has missed 2 games. Bruce (whether he was going to be good or not) was supposed to come in and contribute, is gone and never contributed to an already thin WR corps.
I'm sure some of you will say I'm just making excuses. Fine, go ahead. I have no idea if Richt will turn it around, but look at the entire picture. It's not all Richt. He needs to take heat. He does. But there are other reasons we're 4-2 right now. It's not just Richt's play calling (or lack thereof).
