Title: On the TE TD
Post by: PirateVOL on October 02, 2016, 09:43:53 EDT
CMac got caught look into the backfield.  Poor eye discipline.
You can tell by his reaction that 18 was his man
Looked like we were playing different coverages on each side (we do that a lot)
You can see TK turning his streak loose to try and get over to help.  Gaulden reacts as well but he had a 5 yard deficit to make up.
You can tell the play design was to the offensive left by 16s downfield blocking
Nice play against the defense.
Real time I thought the formation set up the play and while it had a part I think CMac made a mistake and the defense we were in minimized the ability to recover from it.

Oh, and Danielson is a MORON

UGA has hurt us with TE's a lot over the years....and it doesn't matter who our DC is.

On offense...we can't figure out how to use a TE. A TE used correctly can be the most dangerous offensive weapon on your team..Period. Dot. Butch said when he was first hired..."I use the TE a lot in my offense." Haven't seen much evidence of it in 4 years.

We didn't yesterday, although Croom had one nice catch, and was targeted on the bad throw by Dobbs that was int'd.

Previously this season we have used them though.  See Wolf on the nice TD against UF (as well as the drop).

We used them a bunch last year, less so this year, but I like to think that's because our WRs have come along and we go downfield more, which is what has been missing for 2-3 seasons now.  Generally a TE is not a deep threat, though they can be.

We have not used a TE near as much as we should have....going to a TE 1 or 2 times a game isn't using the TE's. Inside the red zone a TE can be lethal if used correctly. If you don't use a TE 8-10 times a game you are leaving yards and potential scores in the red zone on the field and off the scoreboard.
