And that’s ok, not going to agree on everything, good debate. I do agree with 901, he sometimes forgets what he has and gets pass happy, so much so that Chubb and Michel had to request a meeting with him on getting them the ball.

I also understand the OC is the most criticized position coach, sometimes more than the HC. For instance, a lot of blame went towards UT’s OC last year but one of the reasons I have UT winning a minimum of 8 games, is I think the defense takes a major step forward this year. The defense did not play well last year except a few games. UT gave up 29.9 ppg last year against P5 teams. I think this year the D doesn’t have to think as much and can be more aggressive, JMHO.

As for Chaney and TE’s, here he is admitting that he didn’t use the TE’s as he could have. I will concede we don’t know how much of that is on Smart, but if the spring game is indicative, the TE’s were targeted more the WR’s.

Why Georgia featured the tight ends more late in the year

Agree. Chaney has a pretty good history of incorporating the TEs into his offense.

Any scenario where we see one elite TE land at Bama and the other end up at Georgia?

I think how we use DWA this year is more important than what Chaney has done historically. DWA was Price’s prediction for most improved player this year when he was one swain’s show this week.

It’s really difficult to draw any conclusions on why the TE’s weren’t used more at UGA. Kirby set the offensive philosophy, then Chaney drew up the game plan. Kirby’s had no other OC’s than Chaney, so we can’t see how he is without him. Chaney put up his best numbers with smart statistically in terms of scoring offense and offensive production, so I guess that’s a good sign. As for mecole, he spent half his time at receiver with a true freshmen qb and 2 first round talents at RB and still had enough production in his second year at receiver to be a second round pick, so I don’t fault Chaney there. Imo it’s the OC who is ultimately responsible for getting playmakers the ball, especially when the head coach is a defense guy.

Him running a 4.3 forty and his potential coupled with Tyreke Hill being a complete DA made Mecole a 2nd round pick. Him and Riley was absolutely under used.

Maybe in 2018, but not in 2017. Either way, it falls on the OC to get his playmakers the ball. That's why Michel and Chubb had a sit down with Chaney after they felt they weren't being properly utilized. In Chaney's defense, its difficult to feed so many mouths on offense. Swift, Holyfield, Hardman, Ridley, Holloman, and Nauta are all talented. There were plenty of players that ran a good 40 at the combine, so saying that's the only reason the Chiefs took him is a bit disingenuous.
