Sure. It may be the center. But even then, if JG is a leader, he is practicing this with the guys on their own time to get it right. Our very first play last year had a muffed exchange. I’m sure that was the center’s fault entirely. It’s on the centers, it’s on JG, it’s on the coaches to get this right. I’m just concerned that JG just doesn’t seem to grasp the speed and fundamentals of college football.
We will see this season. Maybe he steps into the role, learns to read a defense, learns to quickly check through his progression, and stop taking massive hits. A lot of that last part is on the OL, I know. But some of it is on him too. When you KNOW your OL is porous and still hang on to the ball, or fail entirely to read a blitz, that part is on you.
I’m pulling for JG because he seems like a good kid and he is our QB. I’m just not confident.
