re: Is Chubb back?

I blame Chaney.

#1. The offense has changed from a multiple I look to a more Spread style. Chubb is better from the I. Go back and look at his early highlight reels. You'll see many of his runs out of the I which allows a back to hit harder downhill than the Inside Zone plays where he is reading inside to out looking for a seam to hit. Most backs are coached on the Inside Zone to be running at 85% speed on the mesh. In the I, the back is coming full speed on the hand-off thus exploiting the back's speed getting downhill faster than in the Spread. Nick is not the type of back to flourish in Chaney's offense. Nick's best play out of Chaney's offense in my opinion was the Crack Toss Sweep out of the I-formation against North Carolina last year that he busted for a TD.

#2. Chubb is not getting the ball nearly as much as he used to under Richt and Co. Go back to my first point....he isn't going to flourish under Chaney's offense and I think Chaney honestly sees this, hence the reason why he isn't going get as many carries per game.

I hate Chaney by the way. I miss Bobo like the deserts miss the rain.......
