Title: Jennings is one mean SOB Post by: PirateVOL on October 02, 2016, 10:24:30 EDT Just ask #78
On Kamara's TD Jennings laid a whupping on 78 and buckled his knees Oh and Jennings didn't let an opportunity for trash talk go to waste either Title: Re: Jennings is one mean SOB Post by: Black Diamond Vol on October 02, 2016, 10:29:02 EDT We've been riding Azzani pretty hard for a couple years now, but I think it's time to give him a little credit. The WRs are easily our most improved position group this year. Jennings and Malone are real weapons, and Byrd looks like he's on the brink of joining them. Now if we can just get Preston Williams up to speed.

Title: Re: Jennings is one mean SOB Post by: VOLMAN on October 03, 2016, 04:20:30 EDT Don't forget Smith, for a little guy he has made some unbelievable catches....he doesn't rack up lots of catches usually but when he gets an opportunity he rarely fails. :patriot: :powert:
Title: Re: Jennings is one mean SOB Post by: BanditVol on October 03, 2016, 10:19:19 EDT My main problem has always been the rotation. It was never settled enough to give any of the guys any consistency or rhythm in a game. And also, injured guys kept playing, like North, without being productive. But in the specific case of North, maybe a back injury is just hard to diagnose. :dunno:
Early in the Georgia game, I didn't like some of the WR sets. But i guess it worked out in the end, and...FINALLY, in the fourth year of Butch, we have a clearly identifiable one and two WR (Malone and Jennings), with I guess Smith being the slot guy. Williams is a good backup to Malone/Jennings. I'd like to see more of Byrd, but otherwise pretty happy. Title: Re: Jennings is one mean SOB Post by: Tnphil on October 03, 2016, 10:25:37 EDT We have been more settled on the WRs than we have since Butch has been here. Good thing, IMO.

Early on Jennings and Williams had been splitting snaps but Jennings was slowly gathering the Majority. In the slot, Smith got the clear majority till he missed the game now he and Byrd are splitting snaps and more than a few times are in the game together. I saw Brandon Johnson in for a couple of snaps Saturday but that is essentially the rotation. We ran a LOT of verticals Saturday. I suspect that is why we rotated more. But still 5 in a rotation with an occasional 6th is not much of a rotation.Early in the Georgia game, I didn't like some of the WR sets.

Williams is a good backup to Malone/Jennings. I'd like to see more of Byrd, but otherwise pretty happy. My biggest issue is the lack of TE opportunities. That being said the passing game has really improved the last two weeks. The receivers are getting open more consistently. We are being far more aggressive with the route trees. Dobbs threw Smith open down the seem, he was not open when the ball was released but he was open where the ball arrived. If Dobbs can keep that confidence level and execute more consistently then the passing game will explode.

Maybe it just took most of last season for DeBord to wean Dobbs and co. from the Mac offense that Jones brought with him. I think a big factor, and maybe the biggest, is that Malone finally got healthy. He actually started making a difference in last years uga game.

Spot on about the TEs.....You can create so many mismatches using the TE....Don't understand it. |
