Kentucky JG scouting report

[ATLVols]

After rewatching the game, Kentucky was completely sitting and waiting on the short throws from JG. They knew what we have seen. JG tends to throw the ball to the “check down to RB” or closest receiver a lot. He tends to not push the ball down the field except for go routes which are easier to read for a QB (hence the go routes called for Harrison Bailey near the end). So, Kentucky was not treating deep as a threat for JG. UK waited and was prepared to break on short balls. That’s what happened on the picks.

Then when JG struggled, we kept throwing those really short passes (understandably since he really struggled). UK continued to sit on it, so the problem got worse. This is another reason we just need to move on.

AND we have a stupid OC who continued to call those sideline patterns that are the most difficult to throw and the easiest to intercept!!!
STUPID IS AS CHANEY DOES....FIRE HIM NOW

 

[jackieaprilesr]

agreed. Chaney is either predicatable or limited

How big of an idiot post is this? You hv a top 3 OC in America but 1 qb who is very limited and sorry. You hv to attempt to do what his strengths are despite him not really being good at anything.

 

[Boone&Crockett]

I agree the offense is a crap cocktail, every ingredient stinks right now, if Chaney is a top 3 OC he should be able to figure this out, soon.

 

[VOLfrombama]

They need to stop being stubborn and call the plays for this group since they obviously cant read a D or get lined up right. Take the pressure off the Qb to make nonstop adjustments within 15-20 seconds. I haven’t seen many spicy plays run expect go routes.

Just let Kennedy get them lined up. Then you can run more perimeter stuff with all this speed and shiftyness we have. Screens, slants, and pitches. We just aren’t good enough up front to run over people like Pruitt wants to . I like chandler but he’s not physical enough to make his own hole.

Watching the UT offense is like watching the cake fart video from 2008.

Like..I'm a little excited for what might happen but in the end completely horrified and disgusted.

 

[ThreatLevelOrange]

What I saw today was just like the 2nd half of the BYU game. Chaney had no confidence in him throwing the ball anywhere. Can’t hide the QB at this level.

About the only thing oc can do with a qb like jg is run the ball, because all he can do is throw short passes consistantly. He has to call plays to his qb strengths; which are very limited. Our oc is very good at what he does, it has been proven, he just has never had a qb like jg. Let him have a good qb and our offense will score. I feel Pruitt will replace jg this weekend, but he has to do it and not put him back in unless an injury. The new starter needs to be on a much longer leash than Pruitt has given to the backups. They will make mistakes, but no more than jg makes and they will improve with game experience.

Same think UGA was doing. It’s how they were able to pick off a pass intended for Gray out of the backfield. Our coaches have been handcuffed by the QB for 4 years but IT’S THEIR JOB TO DEVELOP A BETTER ONE

 

[Lane Train 4]

One bright spot is Wideman looks ready!

 

[Boone&Crockett]

I agree, we should not see Guarantano again this season except for a injury situation.

 

[ATLVols]

I personally think Chaney is a really talented OC. Play calls have been so limited because of JG’s inability to throw well, especially recently. We basically had to be a run-only offense Saturday because JG was off that badly.

I've seen Chaney call plenty of good games, and not when he was with other teams but when he was at UT. Whomever is at fault or for whatever reason, UT doesn't have a quarterback. There is only so much you can do in a situation like that. Look at Auburn. Nobody, including most everyone on the team, has any confidence in the quarterback position.

 

[Chilmonty]

#2 will start this Saturday.......unfortunately......

Chaney and Weinke can't be this bad at devoloping QBs. What si the deal? Does the QB room have a low IQ? lack of talent? They just don't have "IT"? Why is there not one decent QB on that roster by now?

My guess is #15 HB.

Exactly right. Pruitt should have brought in a transfer QB or had Harrison Bailey ready. But now only option 2 makes sense.

 

[ShoalCreekVol]

On our lone touchdown drive, we ran the ball 13 out of 14 plays. Marched down the field and scored. I'm starting to think throwing is overrated.

I am on record for HATING the hire of Jim Chaney. He may have a reputation for knowing the game, but HE SUCKS during games and in QB development.
And HE was calling the plays against Georgia State last year...and against BYU, too.
I guess it's just convenient for you to resort to name-calling instead of acknowledging those facts.

TOP 3 OC IN AMERICA? And you are calling me an IDIOT??
What criteria are you using to rank him that high? Hell, he ain't even the 3rd best OC in the SEC East, mush less the entire SEC!

I don't care who you think you are....there's a valid REASON Kirby Smart refused to re-sign Chaney to another contract--and it's because he wants to WIN CROWNS!

And we're all still waiting on ANY OC to find JG's strengths...

I may have gotten a little too upset by calling for JABBA's firing now...but I'll give you even odds that he won't be the OC next year!

Well, just keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better.
Then ask yourself how good this UGA team would've been with JUSTIN FIELDS as their QB?
Then ask yourself why Kirby let JABBA go a few years ago....

I'll take KIRBY'S eval over yours, sir.

And I still think Pruitt is our guy, but cannot understand why he hired Chaney unless he was forced to do so after his experiment with Helton at OC.

This makes zero sense. If you value Kirby’s opinion, you should respect Chaney. The entire coaching world knew UGA was primed for a championship run when Kirby took over. The cupboard was full. Kirby could have just about anyone he wanted and he chose Chaney. What does that tell you?

You can’t figure out why Pruitt hired Chaney because you haven’t thought about why Kirby hired Chaney.

So I was talking to a coach and I said enough is enough. I was then told we hv viable options but when an OC has his guy that he has recruited he doesn't want to lose a recruit than can be a program changer. The way qbs work is if a recruit thinks he has a chance to be the man he will come in regardless of numbers because qbs are divas and others will leave. So if they play a young guy and he shines and locks down a spot then they lose said recruit. So that made me feel as if someone is saying that they're trying to hold tight on JG who is awful to appease to the 21 signing class thats not finalized yet. I'm not quoting him on this but it was said and I'm not putting this on Chaney because he'd tell me if he felt like this. We have a very close relationship and he's a friend of mine regardless of where he works, but another guy told me this. I kinda shook my head and refused to ask Chaney because I've literally never heard him say any kinda bs like this EVER

See now you're lying to yourself. Go do your research we took Chaney from UGA and he had to pay out his contract. Kirby also did try to retain Chaney. Lmao saying he won't be OC next yr how silly do you sound. Man I'm done responding to silliness. Chaney can go anywhere and get a job including working for Saban. The man's resume speaks for itself. Save your thumbs and don't type anything else of tomfoolery like you've already done. And to say the man can't coach qbs PLEASE. I bet you can't find 3 ppl to agree with you and its thousands on this board.

All I can say is.... damn..

Thanks by the way..
