Chaney

[Rickyvol77]

The other thing missing this year is because we don't have JJ anymore, they don't trust JG to make the fast hard slant across the middle to a WR and they don't have a TE to throw too, so it limits the field even further....think back of how many 3rd down conversions we had last year bc JJ went up and snagged a hard slant

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Chaney gets too pass happy sometimes, and he wants to "trick" people on 3rd and short when a simple screen, rollout pass, QB keeper, etc. would suffice

We need high percentage plays and if our OLine is what they should be. 3rd and 2 should either be a give to the HB or a roll out play action call to flat . Brings me to another issue. We snap out of the gun about 99% of the time . I don’t feel like this used to be the way we operated. I’m thinking this is being done for JG because he is more comfortable seeing the field that way . Has anybody else noticed this for this season?

Was that friend Phillip Fulmer, ? If not it doesn’t mean much

No you’re right. My friend the pediatrician, thought he was going to be making coaching hires for the UTAD moving forward . Thank God you were there to set him straight. I’m sure that after Saturday’s game, he was the only UT fan in the country who dared to have an opinion on the future of the program.

A better question is. When it's third and two why are you throwing the ball thirty yards down field ?

If one is in a quandary, choose both, add a box of snickers, a sweet tea and a side salad.

If Jim Chaney was great , Georgia would have never got rid of him.
He has only been good when his talent was stacked .

I honestly like his play calling and think the issue is more sample size (so many 3 and outs means he didn’t get to call many plays at all).

What I liked: aggressive throws down the field.

Example: we barely miss a fade route on 3 and 1. But the balls to throw a fade on 3 and 1, is the type of aggression you need for a big upset. He threw that knowing he was going to go for it on fourth and then they converted the 4th.

My main concern though is what is the issue in protection? Some of it was an inability of our backs to block their LBs. Some of it you have to tip your hats to Georgia on design (the blitz were they put 4 guys on the line all on the right side, forcing our oline to slide right and then they send a db from the left and he comes clean).

Pruitt mentioned issues identifying the Mike and sliding the protection. Some teams put that on the qb. Some put it on the center.

Despite this I saw Chaney attempting things alleviate the pressure (quick throws and screens). The interception was a good call. The back was open in the flats (a place you want to throw against pressure) and JG just held too long and committed a cardinal sin (never throw late to the flats). We threw a bubble screen in the 2nd half and our wrs blocked the wrong players. We tried setting up some delay screens and Georgia played them well.

Would I have liked to seen more quick throws to the flats, more screens, etc? Sure. But I think that’s more an issue of our small sample size (few plays ran because we couldn’t convert) than it is “Chaney sucks!”

 

[RiverVol]

I know we are all frustrated with the offense.

I think JG's inability to read progressions and feel defensive shifts and movements result in every single play - effectively - being half as complex as what Chaney has actually drawn up and coached.


I'm open to being wrong, but unless Chaney has handcuffed himself to JG, I don't think he's to blame. I think he's most likely drafting complex plays that can compete with the best, and every time the ball is snapped, half of the depth of the play is represented.

Jim Chaney Stinks!!
If you can't run out of single back set, then you better use a TE or Fullback in the backfield as a lead blocker.

I bet Alabama uses a lead blocker to run on them.

He is no longer at Georgia, for a reason. He had one good season.

 

[FLVOL_79]

In all seriousness, and not trying to fat shame him, but he REALLY needs to lose some weight. The man is a walking heart attack waiting to happen.

Probably already happened and he thought it was just gas.

 

[CA_Vol]

You’re not wrong.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

He has his hands tied down to an incompetent 5th year senior QB.

He’s very limited with he can do with the offense.

 

[TennVols12]

Nah. Georgia blew our offense up. BUT, we should have been punting. The second half should have been an ugly defensive slugfest.... but ya know... 3 fumbles and a pick.

I will say I wish Chaney would stop throwing on 3rd and 2. It’s getting predictable.

We had -1 rushing years for the entire game, and your fix is to run the ball on 3rd & 2?? Seriously?..

 

[JohnWardForever]

In all seriousness, and not trying to fat shame him, but he REALLY needs to lose some weight. The man is a walking heart attack waiting to happen.

If I were the HC, I would put demands on the Staff's fitness. You want the players to be in top shape, but you flop around with 200 extra pounds? An OC needs to be able to RUN to a player sometimes and chew butt. Well, not with those Man boobs. I simply cannot take the Man seriously.

 

[TMvol10]

I’m not sure why we didn’t try to move the pocket or roll JG out. He’s actually a decent passer on the move. He was getting hit sometimes before he even finished his 3 step drop. Why not roll him out and give him the choice to pass or keep it?

 

[Vol4Life2289]

A better question is. When it's third and two why are you throwing the ball thirty yards down field ?

This all day! The sad part is, those are the only throws JG can complete, and that’s if the receiver makes a great play on the ball and catches it.

 

[VFL-82-JP]

COME ON, MAN!

Put _something_ in the title other than just his name...I thought he pulled a hamstring!




Haha

 

[The Original Fade]

JG didn’t call a 30 yard sideline go route on 3rd and 2 Saturday, Chaney did.

 

[MurphyVol]

I think Chaney is solid and always have. Yes he makes mistakes but he's tried a lot of stuff (reverses, flea flicker, hurry up) to move the ball this season. I think if we had a mobile qb we see something like what Ole Miss is doing. If we had a Manning we'd be throwing it 50x per game.

Just remember that JG is his qb and Friend is his o line coach.

Much like the last few seasons, our qb is sub par and our line can't run block. That's tough to scheme around.

I'd love to see a new o line coach and Chaney take over qb coaching duties next year

 

[CA_Vol]

JG didn’t call a 30 yard sideline go route on 3rd and 2 Saturday, Chaney did.

You have no idea what he called.

 

[rusty11]

With the running game not working I'd like to seen some quick throws to the RBs out of the backfield.....use it like a running play...Maybe some toss sweeps...screens. Make the defense play sideline to sideline. I thought it was a very vanilla game plan. Sometimes when you are out manned you got to be creative.

Uh...Remember that JG can't throw a swing pass...He just can't .

 

[-WillthaThrill-]

There was a lot that went wrong Saturday on the offensive side of the ball. Our QB play was terrible and the RBs/Oline all had bad games. But what did you guys think? Personally, I didn’t think our OC was on his game. The players didn’t looked prepared, it didn’t look like the game plan was very good, nor were the adjustments. Ive called plays before and admit, sometimes you can’t do anything right. But how in the world were screens and draws not part of the plan playing against that defense. How come backs were running routes and not staying in to block more? It’s simple math that when the defense brings 6 guys, a back needs to stay and protect. I think Chaney needs just as much blame placed on him as anybody for what happened Saturday.

That is true when the D brings an extra guy you have to account for him. You'd expect your 5th year senior qb to be able to read that and get the ball out hot to make them pay for it. GA figured out pretty quickly that Guaruntano can't do that and from that point on he was a sitting duck.

Lol you all are adorable. Chaney left Georgia, they didn’t “Get rid of him.”

Their offense the year after Chaney was atrocious.

 

[Vol in]

Chaney, JG, the O - Line, there is plenty of blame to go around. I don't know that you can put more blame on one person or position group than another. The offense was inept, really the whole day. We hit two deep balls for scores, but there were no sustained drives of any kind. We couldn't run the ball, we couldn't pass protect. JG held the ball too long at times, didn't feel the rush as has been his MO for awhile now. Chaney called a pass play on 3rd and 2 in my opinion because he didn't trust our run game enough to pick up 2 yards when Georgia was sitting in a short yardage defense. I'm not justifying the play call, I'm just speculating on why the call was made. The bottom line is, the offense has A LOT of work to do. I don't think the blame is on one particular guy or position group, I think the entire offense needs to "put on more steam."
