Compare Lane to Grubb.

Take all of Lane's non-football shenanigans aside.

One of the things that has made Lane such a consistently great offensive designer and playcaller over two decades now, throughout radical changes in offensive and defensive trends in football, has been his willingness to change.

Lane has run vastly different offenses year to year. He changes the offense to fit the players on his roster that year, and to exploit the defenses he's seeing on a week to week basis. He doesn't try to fit a round peg in a square hole. Look at what he asked Leinart and Bush to do, versus Sims and Amari, versus Coker and Henry, versus Hurts, and then Dart and Chambliss. Every time it was something very different, fit to personnel and the defense of the time.

He's never forcing a round peg into a square hole.

With Grubb I see the complete opposite. I see a guy that loves the look of a play on the white board, and is excited to run it. Personnel, defense, down and distance be damned. This is a good play, I designed it, it's brilliant, it has 4 different motions, it will work.

The reality is it doesn't work. RPO is great. Our QB doesn't read RPO well. Why are we still calling RPOs? Because our OC thinks its a good play - but only in theory, not in execution. If the peg doesn't fit the hole he doesn't care, it's his peg, he's going with it.

Bobo gets maligned a lot by UGA fans and foes alike for the offense he runs. But I'll give him credit, he keeps it simple for a reason. He may not fool the opponent with ingenious play design and a mile long call sheet. But he's going to call something that his players can line up and run successfully at a high clip, designed to keep them in positive down and distance. There's something to be said about that. I wish our OC would learn from that.

But given that Grubb has been running the exact same stuff now for ~5 straight seasons, across wildly different personnel and opponent contexts, I don't expect much change.

The change has to come from CKD. He has to give his friend walking papers. That's tough. Hopefully our head coach is tough. If he's not, how could we expect our team to be.

All signs point to #5 hitting the bench, at least to start the game. We'll see if the backup has anything better.

Hill is a go for this game, which is a relief. Hopefully he can take 25% of snaps to keep Pierre fresher.

As always with UT, they're going to split guys way out wide, pushing all the DBs far horizontally outside the box, and then try to run right up the middle. It will come down to our ILBs playing with great gap discipline and putting guys on the ground when they get opportunities. Woodson and Metz should combine for 25+ tackles minimum this game. If the RB gets past them, support from the safeties will be sparce due to the wide splits, and they will gash us in the run game.

Latham simply cant be asked to do what those two would've or Sellers will run right by him.

Yeah, ready or not I think we will see more of Griffin. We really don't have any other options with athleticism behind Pierre. At least for this game, you're going to need someone with speed on the backside to account for the QB run option.

Republicans have virtually no shot to hold the house. So its not going to happen. He probably wouldn't do it even if they did hold the house and senate, pissing off everyone more.

We're more likely to see some type of vengeance attempt to levy extra taxes against blue states after the mid term.

DeBoer specified it was an ankle injury today.

High ankle sprains are nasty for skill players. You can be “close” for a month, run full speed straight line and do ladder drills, and still not be able to cut laterally on it without pain and restriction. They are also prone to reinjury if you rush it.

I’m assuming that’s what this is.

There’s no reason to rush him back. I thought it was notable that DeBoer said in his most recent interview that basically he has seen enough already in practice to know what he has. That tells me when he’s physically ready, he's going to get an opportunity. This is not a “he’ll get buried on the bench because he hasn’t practiced enough for the coaches to trust him out there” situation.

If we can afford an injury anywhere its at safety. If anything this helps resolve some of the "how are we going to get all these guys we want to keep on the field enough that they're not pissed and looking at the portal" problem.

Noah Rogers is doing contact individual drills, no team yet. Probably means he'll be full go within a month or less.

The key is that he's ready for the UGA game and crucial stretch following, and he ought to be based on that news.

I don't know how Wommack will keep him off the field.

I think Dre will likely be the 6th DB in dime looks. And the primary backup to Red Morgan as the nickel.

I'll give it to you in one word.

"Reside" and "Residence" are terms which, by their legal definition, have nothing to do with legal status in a place. Black's Law Dictionary defines it as "The act or fact of living in a given place for some time."

A person can reside, and be domiciled (a related and relevant but distinct concept) in the US without legal status.

The 14th is settled law now (and was before). It's a 6-3 result even with the conservative supermajority. The Court is unlikely to have this many Republican/Conservative justices again in the next several decades.
