re: UGA looking like the bama teams we miss...

Yeah, UGA’s offense is scary to watch. The backs and WRs are pretty good but the OL is solid again, protecting Frat Boy Bennett and opening holes for the backs. But the TE’s are off the charts good with 3 potential AAs and they utilize the hell out of them. The play calling by Monken has been flawless so far and they look like a well oiled machine. But they haven’t been challenged at all. I wonder if anyone will before the post season. I can see UT challenging them to a track meet but I don’t think they can slow them down as their defense is lacking.
I see UGA getting a season full of rat poison every week and maybe they will be ripe for the plucking in Atlanta. Time will tell.

I don't know if boob can handle that defense.
Hot take: The only time we haven’t shredded Kirby’s defense in 5 meetings, we limped into the game with 1 scholarship RB and our two best receivers out. Additionally, 2017 Oklahoma, 2020 Florida, and 2019 LSU moved up and down the field on them
Are they elite? Absolutely but they have an awful track record against a combo of great QB play and receivers

UGA is looking so solid and Bennett is playing with a lot of confidence. Kirby has the team playing at a really high level.
I might be alone here and it’s an obvious statement, but I still think the key to beating UGA is making Bennett play keep up in a shoot out. Considering their schedule and their defense, that’s a hard thing to do but that’s how we’ve beaten him in the past.

Wouldn't be hard for us if we had an OC who could attack weaknesses and adapt to changes.
They shouldn't be able to keep up with us.... however when we are handicapping ourselves they easily can.

You don’t have to convince me. BoB is the worst coordinator we’ve had under Saban.

Yeah sorry about that. I know I'm getting repetitive. Just annoyed with this situation and fearful of when BOB will cost us..

Nussmeier and Locksley weren’t great. Tua and the trio of receivers made Locksley look like a mastermind up until Clemson presented a defense that season.

I keep hearing Locks wasn't great but he is worlds better than Bill O'Brien.
I would take Locks right now. Like literally him quitting Maryland, joining Alabama and BOB moving to a "senior advisor" role similar to what occurred at Houston... just with no voice or power to screw us over like he did the Texans.

I love Locks but his simplistic RPO stuff only worked like it did because he literally had an entire backfield of 1st round picks. And once a team had the plan and dudes to stop it we had absolutely no clue how to adjust (State also shut us down).
QB - 1st round pick
HB - 4 NFL running backs (2 1st round and 2 3rd round)
WR - 4 1st round picks
TE - 2nd round pick
Sheet we had 3 NFL starting QBs on that team, too.
We never had any sort of game specific plan. We never made any adjustments. We had a simple scheme and insane talent that would have been impossible to guard in almost any system.

RPO spam offenses always bog down in the redzone if you don't have a tank of a QB. See every Gus Malzhan offense ever fielded sans 2010.

Remember how State threw Tua around like a ragdoll in 2018 and we just completely stopped being able to move the ball after the 1st quarter? We didn't change anything because we had nothing to change to. RPO dive/slant was gonna work or not gonna work.
We played 2 elite defenses that year - State and Clemson. We averaged 20 PPG in those 2 and looked totally lost when things didn't immediately go well. And you could even throw in the UGA SECCG where we looked miserable until Jalen came in.
Hard for me to be all gung ho about how much better that "scheme" was than BoB's

To me the RPO as an actual foundation of the offense only works if you have some monster freakbeast like Cam or Josh Allen who runs really well at 250 pounds or a dude like Lamar who can just outrun everyone on any football field he steps onto. If you don't have one of those, it's basically just another form of play action that loses its effectiveness if you go to the well too many times against a strong front 7 that can just attack the mesh point with no fear of the QB keeping and running around them.

This Alabama team beats Georgia by double digits. Bookmark it, print it out to read to your kids, stamp it on a penny and flatten that bitch out.
I don't care.

This is a fair analysis, but doesn't take away from my point.
I would take that offense over whatever it is we are doing now.
It's amazing to me we had a 4th and less than one and came out in shotgun, handing off to our 3rd string RB.
That kind of lack of awareness is scary and always comes back to bite. He did the same kind of crap last season.

The call was fine - there was a large hole, the RB just tripped over the OL's foot. Bryce is not a good option with whom to run a sneak. Not taking up for O'Brien overall, but that particular play call was fine and worked. I would have used Gibbs or JM in a clutch situation like that as they seem to be very intelligent and composed RBs. OTOH, Williams has a very "live" body that can contort and squirm effortlessly for the FD. I assume Higgins controls the RB sub pattern. O'Brien may not be Bama's answer at OC, but he is not the clown some on this board claim him to be.

Idk what to make of it. Georgia is really good at suffocating and dominating weak opponents. Their defense CRUSHES weak offenses in a way that ours doesn't.
They have a better defensive coordinator.

UGA looks like a beast, no doubt. But we're also three games into the season. Pump the brakes.

I disagree. Bryce is smaller, sure, but he's quick, tough, and instinctive. Drew Brees converted a ton of 4th and 1s with an under the center QB sneak in his career.
