Just like 99 percent of all football teams.Has he ever watched a Banks team play zone? My goodness, no down and distance on 3rd down is safe! It's 3rd down and 30yds, we play zone, 33yrd completion. It's 3rd down and 5, slant route completed for 7. He doesn't do zone well IMO.
He had a tough game but the TD pass in the 4th Qtr, there’s no defense for that. Gotta give Ga Qb credit for a great throw.
We rarely see the plays where he covers his guy. His PFF rate wasn’t great but it’s wasn’t horrible either. He’s not the reason they lost.
Yep. That's the odd thing to me. Heupel had a front row seat so he knew no matter what we tried, UGA was going to move the ball. Our only hope was to keep piling on points. Making a 2 score game with the clock on our side was the best bet. Instead he turtles up and just like the prevent defense, he lives to regret making that decision. I know last season we relied on D, but this is a new year. That defense is mostly gone. Injuries complicate the situation....again. Our LBs are a disappointment...again. Heupel needs to lean on the strength of the team which is....gasp...the offense this year. Just be the offense we've seen and depend on that. Anything you get from the defense this year is a bonus, but it's fools gold to hang your hat on that bunch this year.Nope. We tried to adjust out of the half. We said, oh they are having success in the passing game lets try some zone looks...and they ran it down our throats on a 75 yard 8 minute death march.
I hope he learns from it and goes for the throat in the future.Yep. That's the odd thing to me. Heupel had a front row seat so he knew no matter what we tried, UGA was going to move the ball.

I agree, it needed to be a 2 score game, it's kind of like '22 the offense was going to have to win it. I believe it was in the first half that he punted on 4th and short. I kind of wanted him to be aggressive and to go for it as the offense was playing good but I also didn't have a problem with punting it at that time. The problem I did have was in the 4th after the Stockton turnover fumble and we were down close to the 30 and played only for a FG by running it up the middle 3 straight times, I felt like we should've taken a shot or two at the endzone as I felt like we needed two scores to hold GA off and Brazzel and Joey were hitting home runs. FG put us up 8 and I knew GA was going to tie it up, also felt like Coach should've called a timeout before the GA 2pt conversion to make sure everyone was on the same page. Sometimes you have to play to win instead of playing not to lose. Oh well maybe we'll get them in twoYep. That's the odd thing to me.

Pretty sure that 3rd play was an RPO with Joey also having option to keep and run the ball himself. CJH was shown after that play and he was very upset. I believe he was upset at Joey for not keeping the ball himself. Looked like he could have ran for the 1st down.I agree, it needed to be a 2 score game, it's kind of like '22 the offense was going to have to win it.

This. Banks does what he does to help the team. Not his resume.Tim Banks is always going to try to stop the run first, because thats one of the only ways opposing offenses can deny us additional scoring drives. So yeah if we can't stop the run with 4 down linemen and 2 linebackers (and I don't think we can)...load up the box, play man to man on the edge and hope for the best.
If we had played a bunch of drop 8 coverages, Georgia would have run for 250+ on us.
Redmond got hunted. Poor kid.
He also breaks down Tennessee’s defense vs UGA’s offense
One thing that stood out to me is there were a few times in short yardage situations when Georgia was out there with 2 tight ends, a full back, and 1 wide receiver and we come out in our base nickel packag with 2 linebackers and 4 down lineman.
That is 100% on coaching. I know i formation is a rarity in today’s game especially in the middle of the field, but its pretty inexcusable to me that we don’t see their subs and have our heavy package ready to go in situations like that.
It looked like we had two players hit the same gap on that play. It wasn't the only time we had that problem.Georgia's long run in overtime was with 3 tight ends. We came out in a 4-3 with Telander as the middle backer. He went unblocked and never came close to the runner. Looked like he was running in mud.
yeah, linebacker play to me has been the biggest disappointment. I don't understand what happened in that position room. They all look uncertain and like they are thinking too much instead of just going out there and playing hard.Georgia's long run in overtime was with 3 tight ends.
