I saw a couple of quotes hit 11W today. First was that Williams has had "the most work at RB yet" yesterday or something like that. Now I see Williams isn't at the media session because he's "under the weather".
This feels familiar.
I'm thinking we are going to see a converted LB and, maybe, a 4th string true freshman at RB for this game.

This is where the lack of getting guys playing time during the season really shows. There were plenty of games where we could have sat the starters and got others involved. Day seemed to insist on playing the starters deep into games we had control of.
In effect he wore the starters down and risked injury and hurt the development of the backups. Substitution will become more crucial with the expansion of the playoffs and the additional games that are going to come with it.

Youtube UGA X&O guy via 11W
I haven't watched the whole thing but he's um, somewhat less than complementary of our coaching staff at the end of it.

Day has the pressure of players who want to win national awards and get numbers that attract a good spot in the draft. I'll bet he also has people who have invested in NIL asking for their guy to stay on the field.

Mu-tha fuck. I'm physically sick.
Pretty close to Jax' level feelings about the staff right now. Got damn.

10 minutes in.
This guy is good so far. Crazy how quickly he picks up on the type of personnel, team and scheme we are - including our warts. Just nodding along like, yeah man you nailed it.
Love listening to this stuff.

Still angry at Chic Harley
So, this is a dumb question but is the converted linebacker not a good running back somehow? I'm not being sarcastic, because I get that there's a reason he got converted in the first place but A) he looked pretty good against us and B) from what I understand, our staff wanted to recruit him and had every intention of playing him at running back.
I'm honestly not being a jerk here at all, but why do folks think #19 is such a huge liability? Georgia's pass rush ain't all that, so even if he's not great at picking up blitzes, my read is you'll be okay. I personally spent most of the first half cheering every time Day didn't give the ball to the guy because we didn't do a whole lot to stop him.

That goes back to what I said at the time - the Lack of Preparation is really just a manifestation of this teams lack of true identity on offense. You can't just do "all the things" and expect to execute at a high level all the time. This ain't the NFL, and they don't even DO that in the NFL anymore because it took one of the top-3 ever QBs to play the game (Peyton Manning) to pull it off. He knew he could audible to literally anything in the playbook and they'd execute it well enough to move the ball, usually. Other teams that tried it - like say the Cowboys with Romo - would flame out spectacularly eventually.
No, this goes back to Ryan Day needing to sit down, figure out what type of team he wants this to be and sticking with it. Have a damn plan, even if it's not working.

19 isn't a huge liability but he's no where near the threat that a healthy Henderson and Williams are. When we broke spring ball #19 was coming back home to be a LB and we had a clear 4 deep RB room. Heading into The Game we had to use the converted LB because 1-3 were hurt and they, apparently, didn't trust true freshman #4 guy enough. That's the big drop off people are getting at.

~38:30 mark as he's praising the talent of the offense "I don't think Ohio States defense can stop a nose bleed"
Pointed out the "suspectness" of the OL aside from Paris Johnson several times
I'm just getting more and more pissed off watching it.

How flabbergasted and speechless he gets trying to explain the coaching and operational errors he sees…
that is pain, brother.
