re: I like Nuss but he doesn’t see safeties

Nuss showed some great stuff but don’t underestimate the “backup factor” against the defense. Georgia planned a defense against a running QB without a deep ball game. Had they prepped for a gunslinger he may have been much more limited. See Matt Flynn going in for Aaron Rogers and setting Packer records.

This is an overstatement. We don’t give credit for teams ability to adjust to any situation. The defense is either playing some form of man to man or zone. It’s not like they need a whole week to adjust a game plan. These adjustments can be made easily within the game. If you ask coaches this question directly, it’s pretty much a non issue. If I had to make one assessment of JD going out is they have one more defender who isn’t spying the QB and being completely taken out of defending the pass.
