I thought that play calling killed Peterman. His first three completions were all fast throws that didn't require him to hold the ball a long time. Then for some reason, the calls started to make him hold ball longer than that first series. I definitely feel confident in his abilities and that coaches will be able to adjust to his ability and skill set. We only stalled with him when we decided to let him sit back in the pocket with a bull rush coming.

Same with the first 2 drives by Worley. Perfect play calling with short quick throws. Then changed to running the ball and throwing down field.

I was watching and I pretty much agree. He had some good zip on the first throw. Problem was Georgia DC knew right off he had to "bull rush" to disrupt and rattle our offense without Worley. Seemed to work because with Worley back, they settled down and got back to business.

Was it this, or did the defense adjust and cover the short routes tighter to give their blitzes time to get there? Or did the coverage adjust to give Peterman pause and make him go through his progressions, slowing him down overall?

I'm not saying it's not the playcalling, but you have to look at all the other factors before you can say it definitely was the playcalling. Adjustments happen every single play, even by the players themselves.

Not enough involvement this year to make a decision about him yet. Unfortunately for him, the games he has played have been an utter catastrophe --> his performance, not teams.

I thought the play calling for Peterman was awful too. What do D's do when the backup comes in? Especially when the o-line is sub standard? Pin the ears back and bull rush which is what they did. For them to call 3 drop-back pocket style pass plays on that one series was paramount to giving in. Really bad series for the OC there...

All I know is that I saw us come out with quick passes the first series and then never tried them again with Nate. If it works, make them stop it. Our offense stalled with worley on drives 3 and 4 after posting 10 points easily.

While I agree that drop back pass plays hurt Nate, we don't really know what has happening on the field. Perhaps Georgia changed their D to stop the short quick passes so we had to do something else. You guys that coach from the couch amaze me.

Get out of here with logic and rational thought. It's more fun to bash coaches and claim bad play calling then to look at the entire picture.

Fans are so bad about seeing big picture when it comes to play calling. After Peterman hits some short passes and understanding that UT is trying to keep passes short, UGA starts pressing up and taking away the short routes?!? Nahhhh, must just be terrible play calilng by the coaches. You are right.

Adjustments happen that you can't see from the stands or tv. Let the guys who get paid and manage 32 points out of a freshman/first year player dominated offense handle the play calling.
It appeared to me that Georgia underestimated our O line and thought they could get pressure with their front 4 allowing more help for their inexperienced DB's and when they weren't able to the first two series' they changed it upband adjusted, taking away our quick throws and pressuring Worley with blitz's and stunts.

I've watched the game twice now. (Doesn't get any less heartbreaking)
I'm not much on bashing coaches or players, but what I saw in Saturday's game was a bit of both. The middle of the field was wide open all game. I don't know if the designed plays we were running were meant to be thrown deep to the sidelines or not. But, to me it just seems like they quit going to the short, quick throws.

Go back and watch all of our scoring drives. They were all well called and well executed with short throws and runs to set up the deep pass. Not the other way around. I was just scratching my head a bit on the term "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

Peterman and the offensive line killed Peterman.

The guy just isn't very good to put it nicely when it's a real game.

Good execution can make any OC look better.

That being said, I wished they would get away from this read option and some of these slower developing pass plays and go to a quicker passing game to offset the struggles of the O line. They just can't hold their blocks long enough against anyone to make that stuff work.

Steal some more plays from Leach and Sumlin's play book. They did it first couple of series with the 2 backs bracketing Worley. More slants, curls, and more shallow crosses to take advantage of LB's teeing off on this inept O line.

That's what I would do anyway. Doesn't mean I am saying I know more than Jones and Bajakian.

We were commenting @ the middle of the field being empty play after play while Worley was getting maimed.
IMO, every play ran should have a shallow cross or a drag into the middle of the field to keep the LBs honest. Our OL simply cannot handle a good pass rushing team that brings extra.

Peterman got thrown to the lions again, and did not get it done. But, to my untrained eye, he looked to throw pretty well. The guy actually has decent wheels, but has never ran yet in his two real tests. Had one wide open zone read for 10yds and passed it up JW style. And that intentional grounding call ... Horrible. Outside the tackle box and the receiver 5 yds from ball. Refs killed that drive for us.

I think NP can do well for us down the road. Let's dont give up on him.

Or it could be that I said I saw this on the replay. We were still getting a 5 yard cushion on first and second down on the second series. And I guess if their almost 6 foot corners press up on two of our 6'4 wideouts, we don't have the advantage. Given the personel, those short passes that worked on the first series for Nate would still favor us if the corners played tight because we have strong wideouts in Croom/North to fight for the ball. But naw girl, ya just playing.

They tried to get too fancy with Peterman in. The read option on 3rd & 2 which resulted in a fumble. Many bad play calls but some good ones as well

I see a lot of folks want to change plays that didn't work. I understand everything doesn't work. Now here comes the but. Two games in a row we tipped our play with formation in critical situations. First in ou game no back on two yard line means we are going to pass. Then against ga qb under center first time all yr means run. Why tip your hand. Make the def defend everything.
