Left tackle Earnest Greene was beaten on third down on the second drive, causing Beck to throw the ball away.So there was some positives and negatives like every position.” It’s making sure that, ‘I know if this guy is running a stunt, or a twist that I’m going to pass it off by getting my hands on the other guy and not letting leakage in there.’ But they also picked up a max blitz, picked up some tough things to pick up. “We had one lapse in a protection, (and) one time we got beat when we shouldn’t have been beat. And there were times that we had some sloppiness,” Smart said of the offensive line. “There were times that we functioned at a high level. And that’s something that will just have to improve because Georgia can’t telegraph its run plays the way it did at the goal line. But many other runs were out of shotgun/spread/run-pass-option formations. Georgia’s best run there was actually in a more traditional formation, the quarterback going under center and putting eight on the line. This was similar to a few runs in the red zone. Smith for 19 yards, which is why you probably don’t remember the unsuccessful Milton run the play before. That wasn’t a case of Georgia not being powerful enough at the line it was just Ball State playing it really well because it saw run right away. But when Georgia’s linemen pulled, Ball State just played it well.
It was six-on-six in the box because one Ball State linebacker followed a receiver out and Georgia had Delp on the line. Despite it being a passing down, Ball State began the play with seven in the box and upon the handoff swarmed the Georgia line. One example: On second-and-10 from midfield in the second quarter, Kendall Milton was stopped for no gain on an inside handoff. Of course, that’s not the only area where the blocking has had some bad moments. I watched our guys do it in practice they do a really nice job of it.” They’re going to have an opportunity to show it for the next however many games we have. I think we have a very good perimeter-blocking team.
It’s really trying to figure out who our best 11 are, what those plays look like. My concern is not about not having Darnell, we’ve known that for a long time. But we have more depth at some positions and less depth at some positions that allows us the freedom to do some things. How much of this is the Bulldogs still feeling their way without Washington? This is how Kirby Smart answered that Monday: Smith missed a block on the one Brock Bowers touch, which only ended up a 3-yard gain. He’s also getting reps the more experienced Ladd McConkey will get. That may be from a lack of experience as much as anything, given his injuries during the past few years. Arian Smith missed some assignments early. Which brings us to … The perimeter blocking But he’s just not close to the weapon Washington was as a blocker, which to be fair nobody was going to be, but it means Georgia always was going to have to play differently. Oscar Delp, a sophomore tight end, has seen an uptick in playing time. That’s a stark difference, even accounting for the loss of Washington and the addition of slot receiver Dominic Lovett. After using 12 personnel (one running back and two tight ends) on 59 percent of plays last season, it has been only 12 percent so far this season. In 2022, the Eagles reached Super Bowl LVII against the Kansas City Chiefs.Georgia isn’t using as many double-tight end sets as expected.
