Mathis wasn’t seeing the field or going through progressions well. He wasn’t accurate when he had to find a spot to put the ball. He was elusive, but didn’t make the other team pay with his wheels. He should have held onto the read option a few times unless he was being told not to. Smart needs to find a package for Mathis that he can come in and execute. The USC transfer is obviously 1st string. Bennett is 2 and Mathis is 3, but may see the field if they work out a package for him to use his wheels.

He made up for his inaccurate passing by doing a terrible job running the ball.
The defense he sees in practice everyday is better than Arkansas. Stop making excuses.

Excuses?

He was until he felt pressure - even phantom pressure. Even that horrible interception was the right decision. He just saw a LB rush up the middle andv even though it was picked up just fine he panicked and rushed the throw.
ETA: It was actually a stunt from the outside backer. Also the route wasn't great and he still may have gotten the first with a good throw, but the play was to Pickens 1 on 1 in the corner of the end zone.

He's like a new fighter who needs to get hit a few times before he can just go out and execute a strategy. Some heavy run packages would do him a lot of good.

Monken nor Smart did Mathis any favors playing him yesterday. Hell I wanted him to work out, love his determination and family. His dad is a fine man with his support of Mathis and uga.
That said, he wasn't even close to ready. I would be pissed if I were bennett for being looked over for that. Didn't even give bennett 1 team reps.
The press that follows uga needs to hound the coaches on how they could be so wrong.

If the one thing he doesn't see in practice is what prevented him from showing his stuff, you can't blame the coaches for playing him.
You can blame them for calling the first half like he was a veteran.

Most tame away environment ever, no excuses. Quit making them.

At what point do you stop acting like you know more than anyone on this board? It's okay for posters to point out the good things he did as well as the bad things. To ignore either is just being blind to be blind.

It's a message board...
Posted on 9/27/20 at 10:18 am to lewis and herschel
Yeah, and you're being an arse on it to anyone who disagrees with you. Use the board to have some actual discussion instead of attacking those who give counterpoints.

I think what shocked me was how insistent Monken was to get Mathis warmed up by throwing. I know the OL wasn't blocking well and backs weren't doing much better but it became really clear early on Mathis was rattled and was staring down the WR (shite, idk if I recall seeing hims can beyond his 1st option). Yet we just doubled down it felt like and kept having him air it out.
I don't think Monken did Mathis any favors yesterday at all. That said, I don't think is an excuse for Mathis' play, not as bad as that was. I think you have to ride with Stetson and play good defense and just hope JT gets healthy and offers a little bit more than what we've got.

No it wasn’t. The receiver was running a zone route and it wasn’t there. The TE was wide open. Again.. progressions.

Safety was right on the TE until the throw. There was a window for the curl, but I'm not even sure if a curl was the route. Slot guy came open in the back of the end zone, but again would have taken a really good throw - probably the play a guy like Burrow or Tua makes. However, if Mathis had moved the nickel with his eyes he could have had the throw to the outside easily, but the same can be said for the safety and the TE.
Even so, a high throw to the TE could have done it, but I'll still take the 50/50 ball to Pickens over all of them.

I saw him open in the back of the end zone but I couldn't tell if the defender left him because he saw the pass coming or if he was truly open.

If it was a curl, the receiver would not have been settling inside. Mathis threw the curl and the receiver was settling into the soft of the zone. We called that a zone settle route. Im sure it goes by other names.

It’s possible the receiver settled too far inside. He would have been open if he stayed on the curl. He was settling into the LB. It was the right read if the WR stayed in the open zone. His next reads were the double posts. The TE, playing like a slot guy. Had position on the safety if the ball was thrown right. And you had Cook for a 3 yard catch and possible run.

Same reason Fromm won out a couple of seasons ago
Posted on 9/27/20 at 6:50 pm to Peter Buck
What they should have done is a zone flood, then run one guy up past it and another guy cones back, but then you bootleg it to the other side just to keep them hoest.

Some guy on SECR says JTD just got cleared, can anyone confirm?

Kirby said he didn’t need to give Bennett with the 1’s is because they knew what he could do. The fact that they put him in node it was clear Mathis was struggling backs that up.
