Idk why any team wouldn't blitz the crap out of milroe.
Because he may be more dangerous when you lose containment as a runner than he is as a passer. Just my humble opinion.
He has 2 years' of tape on him that show he gets flustered with pressure though, as well as not being elite at hitting intermediate type throws. Milroe is absolutely elite and throwing it deep, and obviously as a runner. If you just sit back and let him be comfy back there he's a threat to do both of those things. Getting after him makes him (any QB, not just JM) uncomofrtubale and off his rhythym which can ocassionly lead to good things for the defense.
I'm not saying rush 7 every snap btu we absolutley have to pressure him instead of just having 2 guys chill out at the 2nd level waiting for him to run.

Defense putting UGA behind schedule on offense. They do not have great offensive playmakers on the outside. If they are cranking out 5 yards every time they run it, they are going to be a big problem.
Offense keeping itself on schedule. Jalen having to drop and read for us to keep drives alive will not be a recipe for success. I expect the QB run game to be a big part of what we do, and that has traditionally been a weakness for Smart defenses.

That's never been Kirby's MO.

me either, but kirby has displayed a complete mental bedcrapping when it comes to defensive game planning in 2 of the last 3 matchups, so this aspect is certainly worrisome from our end.
I agree, it will be interesting to see if Coach Smart has learned anything from last year or film he's seen this year. I, for one, hope Ga doesn't blitz as much as I would if I was calling a def against Milroe.

For Alabama:
Can the offensive line play a clean game? Limit sacks and penalties.
Can the defense pressure Beck? Can the secondary stop guys from running free? Beck won't miss those throws if they're there.
For Georgia:
Can the defense pressure Milroe into making mistakes? Do they spy him? Blitz him? Play him like a regular QB?
Can the offense find plays down field?

Rarely on broken plays. He backpeddles and takes big losses against the blitz. Maybe he's been a little better about throwing the ball away, but it's still rare that we make anyone pay for blitzing. I'd blitz every passing down if I were a DC facing Bama. Sure, you might get burned once or twice, but I think you'd get more than enough big negative plays to offset it.
As far as our defense, UGA is the kind of offense that worries me about our new scheme. Can we stop their run game with it? I don't know. To compound that, while I think our pass defense will be very solid in the future, we're very young at DB. UGA hasn't been especially scary passing, but we've been lucky the QB's we've faced so far have missed open guys down the field. If UGA is running for 5 yards a play, AND we have some busts by the DB's, it's going to end badly for us.

This is true, and running QBs used to eat us alive in that scheme. Hopefully Kirby sticks to his guns.

The takeaway was that Proctor and Roberts are the weakest spots on the Oline.
Proctor does not do well against a strong bull rush. An inside push bullrush often ends up with Proctor being pushed into the QB. Our RG and RT are road grader types. The down side is they both get out over their toes too much. If they square a DL up, he gets pushed several feet out of his gap. But if the DL has good hands he can use their forward lean to nose them into the ground and clog up 2 or 3 running gaps.
UGA does not appear to be as good this year on the edge. Running at the TE butt or just barely outside with 1 or 2 lead blockers could give Milroe a big day. This will also bring the safeties up for run support which may be just enough to open some TE seam shots.

This is one of the biggest question marks to me that makes me nervous. As long as kirby is our HC I'm rarely ever going to worry about defense. Kirby and schumann (with who tf knows how much help Muschamp may be providing as an analyst) are going to do their thing regardless of who we're playing.
But our offense is another story. The game against UK was just head bangingly stupid trying to run straight up the center's arse 2 or 3 times every 4 downs. We haven't taken many deep shots all year. We haven't really testted the middle all year. Our TEs are pracically non existent. We rarely run outside or spread guys out into space.
I am *hoping* that maybe they just havne't felt the need to open things up yet. But if we just ocntinue what we've been doing we're in trouble. We absolutely have to make plays downfield as you said .

Milroe is great unless he retreats. Once he takes a step back he's usually done for.

I agree with this, but in reality this is a good thing. BAMA should make the playoffs and this unit will be better come Dec
This game only really has a possible effect on home field longer into the playoffs

TNR just said one of UGA's starting receivers is battling mono.

I think the player that is most concerning is Etienne. He is capable of explosive plays, and we can't give him too much room to get momentum.

Yeah, smoke that London Humphreys is out due to mono.

2 receptions for 63 yards
Probably a next man up situation, doesn't seem like a huge loss

He's a freak athlete (4.4 40, ~40'' vert) and we've struggled with covering deep routes, so maybe not a huge loss based on his stats so far, but still a loss.

I may be way off here ( hope I am) but I am more concerned with the offense (OL play and to a lesser extent the ability of Milroe and the receivers to hit some big plays
