Interesting read on UGA's deep game

As I said before, I am not sold on Mason and his ability to hit the deep ball. Does it seem that the coaches are thinking the same, and hoping for receivers to be able to make moves after the fact in order to get long yardage?

“Sometimes you don’t have to have blinding speed to go deep, sometimes it’s just a matter of getting off the jam and getting the guy cut off,” head coach Mark Richt said. “You know all these guys have pretty good game speed not many guys just run away from people. But you know we have had a good history of placing the ball where our guys can catch it.”
Put another way, the hope is that Mason can hit Bennett, Conley or someone else on a nicely placed pass after the receiver puts the move on a defender.

well yeah. You don't HAVE to have a JSW track star to just blaze past people to go deep.
Sean Bailey and Momass both had average to above average speed, certainly neither of them were 'burners', but those guys caught deep balls on the reg. Beating the jam and running a crisp route has more to do with it than speed, IMO.

The back shoulder passing game will decimate their secondary.

Not in that way... The bigger question is, does Mason have the ability to get the ball deep or are we hoping on the receiver's ability to make a move to get a lot of extra yardage?

What is "deep"?
Obviously he doesn't have a Stafford arm, but no other QB at UGA has either. We won't see Mason throw it from the endzone to the other 30 on a go route, but we dont' need him to either. I guess to put it simply...he can make the throws our offense needs him to make to be successful. That's all I care about.

Deep ball is about timing and route running. Even a 4.2 guy needs to run the correct route as in cover 2 he is jammed and in cover 3 he has to close 8 to 10 yards just to get even with the DB. He also needs to do this to end up in a spot that takes the FS out of the play... as well as the CB.
Selling slants and posts are what allow deep balls to work.... and vice versa... that is what they are saying for the most part

curls/stop routes as well

Georgia's success on the deep ball usually comes off play action. If the DBs hesitate on the fake that creates an opportunity to get into space.
I'm not worried about Mason's deep game. He is an SEC caliber QB and I'm sure he has a gun. Deep game is a small facet of the overall offense anyway.

This is one of those areas of the passing game that Murray perfected and I absolutely love that it's part of our offense. You don't see many other teams run it but it's such a high percentage, high reward pass.

I'm trying to figure out how an article about our two best deep threat receivers being out got turned into another thread about Mason's arm.
However unsold you may be on Mason's arm, I'm less sold on your reading comprehension.

Yep. Georgia has a history of completing short passes and turning them into long gainers. Last year against South carolina and, of course, the "Run Lindsey, Run" TD against Florida in 1980. I KNOW there are others, but those came to mind immediately. I also realize that we have thrown some long balls and have been successful, too.

Yea it's gonna get whacked. I hope it does, I hate gifs as avi's or sigs. It's why I can't look at the Rivals boards.

Serious question... Who is our biggest down the field player w/o MM and JSW? Is it Bennett, Conley, Rumph, or Davis? Will Ole newcomer Charlie be a wildcard that Clemson doesn't prepare for?
