Ah, yes, the safeties have to want it. Granted I would say if we played a extremely good defense like Miami '01, extremely athletic safeties and linebackers could recover from missed reads and consistently make tackles. Any offense can be theoretically stopped by a defense since there are, after all, as many defenders as offensive players.

However, against average or even good defenses, PJ's offense spreads out the defense and creates one-on-one or even one-on-zero matchups, exploiting the tiniest flaw in a defensive scheme.

PWD also makes the mistake of saying LSU stopped our offense. Like other losses, the offense merely gained yards to piss them away on turnovers or unforced errors. LSU kept home runs from happening, but Tech still got plenty of yards.

Yes, a common fallacy. In actuality, LSU worked for a month to hold Dwyer to 4.1 ypc.
 
If we had only followed the "blueprint" Florida made for stopping Georgia's offense, that game would have been a laugher.

PWD also made the mistake of saying that "Canes beat Nebraska and Miami by a combined score of 71-33 from 1986-1988."

No I believe that completely. What the hell do you think was happening in the second half of their game against us? No offense to the man, but if Cox can pull off a 20 or 30 plus yard run for a touchdown like he did then your football team has indeed become Jim Carey. (and isn't it Carrey? or is that Stephen King....)
 
A few more observations

Some of them repeats of others.

1. The large and small nuances of this offense seem to go on to infinity.

2. The offense frequently forces defenders to make tackles in space on on one. With our skill players, we have the advantage in those matchups almost all the time.

3. Our Gailey-recruited linemen may not have been a good fit for this offense, but his skill players could hardly have been ordered up more perfectly.

4. With his vast experience with the offense he designed in the first place, Coach J can find a way to work around weaknesses. All phases of the offense don't have to be working all that well to be successful.

5. Every time I think I couldn't feel any better about Coach PJ, something like this comes along and I do. He said when he was first hired he likes the chess game with the defensive coordinator. Well no wonder! Martinez is so overmatched as to be laughable.
 
Checking the comments section on the Birddog's blog a few days later is hilarious. There's dawgies all in there trying to defend Georgia's play and downplay the blog's tactical sense, and Mike just shrugs them off. "I'm not a Georgia Tech blogger. I don't know how I could have supported my points any better." Hehe.
 
This was posted on EDSBS too, so it's getting alot more traffic then I think the guy originally intended. I sincerely hope that the rednecks don't flood his comment section and sour him on analyzing Tech games.
 
The AJC guy is an uber dope. I'll say it again: PJ wants you to play assignment football. If you stick to your assignment, you are defining the matchup. PJ then knows the matchups, and knows which ones he can win, which he proceeds to exploit.

The guy is a dope for another reason. We only ran the TO 25% of the time or less last year. PJ's offense is NOT the wishbone, and people who call it that are advertising their ignorance--in neon lights.

The LSU game proved you are wrong!

Will YOU PEOPLE HUSH calling out the UGA fans wisdom?!? Let them believe what they want. We can only be so lucky that the coaches believe the same.

Unfortunately, not everyone believes that there isn't a magical blueprint to stopping the offense that "LSU figured out."

This comment from the blog tells me some of them get it. (My emphasis added.)
I actually went to the Tech/LSU game with a Tech buddy of mine. It was more of a perfect storm situation than anything else.
LSU executed at a high level.
Tech basically did not execute at all.
Throw in some absolutely horrible special teams plays by Tech, and equates to the 38-3 beat down every saw.
I say all of this to make that point that I don’t think LSU and the rest of the football world have the blueprint to defend the spread option, or whatever it is CPJ runs at Tech.
Regarding the original paragraph in the blog, I think we finish behind UF in the East as well, and see us losing to LSU and Okie St. We just have too much of a gauntlet this year, but I do anticipate the D and O-Line being much better.
Go Dawgs!

RE: LSU

Like I said before, LSU practiced a whole month to hold Dwyer to 4.1 ypc. That in itself speaks volumes about both Dwyer and the "blueprint."

yet all those nad lickers ignore the fact that they were covering "receivers" that were in fact ineligible. even before the play starts, they were at a disadvantage. :laugher:

Well, in truth, you have to cover them, otherwise, what happen when you shift to make them eligible? I think the key is if you can force a team to cover guys that aren't eligible, and can make 'em pay.

Part of it is the fact that if they completely and utterly disregarded our passing game then we would start nailing them for it. Our passing might not of been great but we could probably of hit uncover receivers.
