Georgia's only hope for pass defense is to blitz like crazy on every play while learning to quickly read screen passes meant to counter this strategy.
They've got nobody who can cover receivers.

No.
Blitz every play and we will get burnt.

this, with zone blitzes mixed in..sure we give up 14-17 points at first, but after that QB is planted in the ground enough to cause the opposing offense to max protect, things change. Anybody notice how bad UT's backup QB looked?
pretty sure our 4 DB's can cover in this setup, ok, might be dreaming here, but they can take advantage of a QB mis-throw or 2.

Does anyone here besides Crispy have a fricking clue about real tackle football?
Some of the responses on this thread are comical. If y'all want to talk X's and Os , please make an effort to actually understand the subject matter.

How would you solve the problem? If I'm an OC game planning against UGA that's exactly the matchup I'm gonna exploit.

It's a tough throw if the LB stays in his hip pocket. If the qb can make the throw, you have to disrupt the passing lane at the los and disguise coverages.

You have to mix your coverages up. Want to keep the offense the offense honest? Then you disguise your D and drop into a cover 3, taking away the seam/post route. Every single defensive scheme has a weakness that offenses can exploit. The same can be said for offensive schemes. It's a chess match, really.If you run cover 2 all game, they'll hit you with the deep passes down the middle. If you run cover 3 all game, they'll throw underneath. If you man-up and run zero coverage, they can kill you with hitch-and-go's, out routes, or just a simple go with a guy who is faster than your CB. The way to combat it is to switch up your coverage; you'll have plays where the Offense has the perfect play call against your D, you just have to hope your athletes can make plays. There isn't a magical fix that guarantees a TFL, sack, or interception on every play of the game.
Honestly, our LBs were in decent position on most every play that has been highlighted in this thread. Sometimes a QB just makes a perfect throw and there's not much you can do. As I said earlier, MOST inside backers will always be at a disadvantage in man-coverage...it's not what they're used to doing.

If there is a younger lb who's better at pass coverage that would be a start on obvious passing downs.

I'm sure they're coached properly but the LBs play stiff
Dawgs have fullbacks playing linebacker

We recruited thumpers at ILB under Grantham, not guys who are going to excel at man coverage. So, yes, you're right. They're both good at what they do, but they'll never be great in coverage.

so all you geniuses don't think we should hit the QB as often as possible?..you make it sound like all the opposing offense are fantastic and world beaters of the highest order...we haven't seen a decent offense yet.
nice to discuss theory but the reality is we can't cover anyone with our secondary and our ILB are horrible at coverage as well..but they are really great at slobberknocking folks, so why not have them do that a lot more often.

No, I want to blitz on most passing downs but I don't want an all out blitz.

Play man to man and bring pressure. You may get burned occasionally but I bet you give up less points this way. Plus, what's the difference in a 70 yd TD pass or a 10 play, 80 yd TD drive? They're both 6 points but one burns clock and wears your D out.

And understand that his job is to force a perfect throw or better yet a high throw to allow the S to make a play on the ball.

You bring pressure in 2nd- and 3rd-and-long situations, when the offense is likely going to pass. If you blitz the QB on a play when they're running, you're looking at a potential cluster frick.

I've seen the hip pocket technique with OLB's on the slant.

like we've seen over and over and over since the Martinez days and Shockley was our QB.
we don't have the personnel.
