I don't know, but how is Anthony Evans speed?


it's great. Another head scratcher I have is why AE isn't getting more reps.


Evans is only 170 lb. But more likely maybe 160. He'd get killed running rutes for a full game.

He's not standing as tall in the pocket as he did last year imo. Would rather check it down or pretend like he's about to scramble at the first whiff of pressure instead staying with his read and risk taking a hit.

Right now he seems to have one foot in and one foot out, like Stafford did. I guess we'll see what happens.


He doesn't trust this OL. Last season, he felt incredibly comfortable and was able to keep his eyes and attention downfield. He's clearly feeling a bit panicky...the checkdowns speak volumes.

We're talking about Kirby Smart. AE is probably not seeing the field due to insufficient blocking abilities.

lmao

How big was devonta smith? How about tyreek hill? IDGAF what a receiver weighs if they can do the #1 thing that any WR should ever be asked to do, which is catch the ball.

1- his mechanics this year have looked like shite. Seems to almost never set his feet and just looks off throwing the ball

2- just me speculating, seems like the pressure of it all has got to him. It all feels off to me

Beck is fine. His receivers are dropping catchable balls.

Sort rounds, balls uncatcheable, failing to read defense is not on receivers

I always thought Kirby primarily recruited Beck to troll Dan Mullen, who is known to be a poor QB evaluator. TBH I was surprised that Kirby ended up going with Beck as a starter, although he does have some tools that makes him viable.

Sometimes it takes only one person on the team to be the catalyst for a championship run. IMO I think that catalyst is Nate Frazier.

We saw what this team can do when they feed off someone who pounds the rock with authority and makes plays.

I don't think our overall success is Beck throwing better or our D just getting better in pass coverage. I believe its a small piece and its ETN and Frazier becoming lightning and thunder

Etienne is the best running back we've had for at least 4 years, so in order for Frazier to be "the catalyst for a championship run," that means he'd basically have to be Barry Sanders.

Offensive football is all about the quarterbacks and the wide receivers these days.

that is...debatable. Zamir, cook, and mcintosh all have extremely solid claims to be better at this point.

Etienne never falls forward and rarely breaks tackles. It's like some of you are watching a different product.

Maybe he improves but I want an extra yard every si glw run.

ETN is not the best hasn’t even problem 100 yards rushing in a game. But guess who has?

GA said they need the run game to win and Frazier gives them the combo needed

How much does poor blocking have to do with it?

That was before Tate got hurt. The OL has suffered. He was more than just a right guard for that OL.

107 total yards

7.4 yards per carry

1 td

Pretty easy to see he is the man at RB

Sounds like you are making a case for Frazier as well
