New look offense...

**checkerboard_charly** · 10-01-2006, 08:25 PM

Our offense looked alot different against Memphis. Most of the day we didnt use a fullback and when we did it was a Tight end.

We stayed in shotgun most of the game and mainly didnt have a back to block while we were in shotgun. We spread Memphis out and attacked thier weaknesses.

What will we do against Georgia? To me this could be very important. Will we try and run on them without a fullback?

Will we just spread them out and let Ainge do his thing??

If we spread and attack, we ROLL the dawgs.

If we run the ball, we struggle.

It's that simple.

IMO leaving the fullbacks on the sidelines against the Dawgs would greatly improve our offensive attack. I have not been impressed with them thus far. As for the shotgun look , I think ity gives Ainge a better view to read the defense. He looked very comfortable running it from the gun.

I think you're taking your anti-run campaign a tad far. Our passing game has been successful in large part because of play action. If you don't run it, you lose that.

We'll try and stay balanced like we did this weekend. I'd say Cut has a wrinkle or two for UGA that no one has seen yet...

For all the hype going into the season about how Cut was going to spread the field, most of what we have run has come out of 2 receiver sets.

I meant to start a thread on this and didn't, so I'm glad you did CBC.

I think taking the FB's out give the backs a lot of freedom. Sure, they're supposed to go where the play is designed, but following a FB not only cuts down on the vision, it sometimes tells the defense where the RB is going to go and in Coker's case, it might even slow him down.

I noticed that Coker was cutting early and running to daylight in the Memphis game because he saw it right off. Does that make sense to anyone?

Another thing to think about with the spread look and something I saw on Saturday is when running out of the shotgun the backs have more time to see the hole and run accordingly. For some reason our backs have had trouble this year hitting the right hole, and I think running out of that look especially with someone with the speed of Coker helps.

**volmanjr** · 10-01-2006, 08:37 PM

Makes perfect sense, and it also helps that the Rbs don't have to side step them when they don't make their blocks and they left Ainge running for his life too many times as well.

**OWB** · 10-01-2006, 08:37 PM

I will also add that with Coker's speed and how he tends to just run around the line, it helps to have an extra TE on the end to throw an extra block..

Well, I do realize I sound like those bozos in the stands that complain about running up the middle ever play.

I know we need to run to establish the pass,but I do NOT want us to bring out the fullbacks and lineup and "run the ball". I just want us to.....well, for lack of a better term, "Attack, Attack, Attack!"

(P.S. Thanks Johnny, I'd drink one for ya, but I can't handle what you like!)

I also wanna add that on 95% of the plays our O-line totally waxed Memphis and pushed them back almost every time.

Hip Hip Hooray!!!

It won't be that easy between the hedges.

Nope, no matter how Georgia looks, they're still 5-0. They find a way to win even if it has fallen in their laps..

I like the spread look and taking out the FBs was a great idea. The time we had four chances on the goaline we couldn't do squat, and that had a fullback in I think. With Cokers speed the 2 te ace formation will be useful attacking Ga at the corners and off tackle. The strength of the Ga def. looks like the DTs and MLB and they are big and good on the DT. I need to look at there ends but watching the Ole Piss game, they had some good runs on the ends and off tackle. Time will tell and another long week of conjecture and analysis to come. Can saturday get here any faster?

It's going to be such a slow week. I'm already pumped up about this game and it's not even Monday yet..
