#13 Robertson, #24 Pickens, #36 Blaylock, #130 Jackson, #196 Bush, #196 Tongue, #324 Blount, #346 Cager, #383 Simmons,

#13 Marshall, #84 Chase, #112 Palmer, #126 Sullivan, #166 Dillon, #166 Lee, #448 Jenkins, #608 McMath, #2164 Jefferson


Yet LSU's receivers look like world beaters and apparently our receivers can't run proper route patterns or catch the damn ball.

Give me a break on blaming receiving depth. Blame the damn coaching. Looking at you Cortez Hankton.

#13 Robertson, transfer recovering from knee injury
#24 Pickens, freshman
#36 Blaylock, freshman
#130 Jackson, injured most of the year
#196 Bush, freshman
#196 Tongue, freshman
#324 Blount, junio
#346 Cager, transfer who was injured a lot
#383 Simmons, senior who played his heart out

#13 Marshall, sophomore who was solid
#84 Chase, sophomore who was great
#112 Palmer, did nothing
#126 Sullivan, TE who did nothing
#166 Dillon, did nothing
#166 Lee, did nothing
#448 Jenkins, did nothing
#608 McMath, decent year
#2164 Jefferson, sophomore who showed out this year

They had two great WRs, one solid one, and a RB who had some good yards.

They were a year older and in the system longer. Our WRs weren't garbage but they weren't on the same level as them.

Robertson would be considered really good if Fromm could throw it to him.
Pickens is a badass.
Blaylock is very good. Bad throw led to him getting hurt.
Jackson has been hurt all year.
Cager is out.

How many Freshmen started for LSU and how many returning starters? How many returning starters for UGA and where were they rated?

How many Freshmen WR's are starting or making an impact at LSU,Bama,OSU or OU?

How's Haselwood doing at OU?

They literally changed their system this year. Receivers learned new route patterns, new reads and new block assignments once Joe Brady came on board.

Robertson is fully recovered from his injury.

Pickens and Blaylock may be freshman but they are uber talented. Should have been featured more IMO.

Bush is a sophomore

Blount should be getting more playing time if he had been coached up the last couple years.

There are two differences between LSU. LSU has an innovative OC running a dynamic offense, and a talented, athletic QB.

We have a tomato can at OC and Jake Fromm, a physically limited game manager who has regressed.

Most of the Georgia receivers were either young, injured, or Matt Landers for a majority of the year

Time will help 2 of the 3 of these, but the coaching at the position does seem to need attention.

Cager came into a new program and had a great deal of success when he was healthy enough to play. What do you attribute that to compared to D. Rob or the new kids?

Fromm can throw a back shoulder fade to a tall guy. Thats always been his thing, and I guess thats part of the problem as we have relied on that too much since 2017. Too bad our QB cant hit an open robertson in stride for a td. I imagine Robertson would look like a badass with Fields at QB.

Wow...how did a kid ranked so low have such a huge year? That's impressive by any measure. I assume largely due to scheme and coaching him up but dayum.

That's one of the hardest throws to make. Why do you think he can make that throw but not others?

BTW, I reject your premise that it's the only type of throw he makes.

How many times, specifically, has D. Rob been missed like that in his career at UGA?

Maybe it is, maybe it isnt, but it should not be a harder pass than an open pass. While He threw a rare INT on such a pass to a shorter guy the other day, we dont even beat ND in 2017 without Wims grabbing a 50/50 back shoulder pass on that late drive. Fromm obviously excels at it, but maybe you can tell me what else he excels at since you reject my claim. Over the middle? No. To a RB? No.

For long tds? 3 off the top of my head. Each in a big game.

Block assignments don't change as a whole. You essentially block the guy that lines up across from you, unless you are supposed to come down the line to block a LB.

Route patterns....yes, different, but the difference mainly comes in chemistry with your QB. You have to be reading the same moves a CB makes, where he lines up, etc. It has more to do with being on the same page as the QB, than anything. That's where having a bunch of freshmen can really hurt...or having a new QB.

quote:

Robertson is fully recovered from his injury.
Seems to be, but I saw him give up on routes way too often. If his initial route was covered, he didn't seem to nderstand where the routes of the other eceivers were taking them so he could adjust and try to get open. More often than not he seemed to just go into a slow trot while watching the play.

quote:

Blount never seemed to have the talent necessary. I was surprised he was still on the team, honestly.

If this is true, you could blame him for knowing his QB is a pre read guy who often throws to his pre read, and struggles big time to create if his initial read is not open. Thats one reason it matters a lot to have a Qb who can make things happen with his legs after the initial play is dead. Fromm isnt that kind of Qb.
