Cash Jones

This is a new, unique thought that has never been posted before and definitely deserves a new thread 3 days later.

I said it before I did not have a problem going for it at that moment I would have rather it been and someone else’s hands at that point though

If you wanted to stick with tempo. Perhaps QB sneak or QB power run to the left.

I just hate the shotgun on short distances/inches…

2, 33, 86, 1 are a few playmakers that come to mind Ran 32 right at LT Overton makes no sense at all

I wouldn’t have a problem with it if it weren’t for 2 things: 1. Cash jones shouldn’t have been on the field 2. The decision should’ve been changed once you seen gunner was at the first down. Let them review it. I don’t like predetermining to hurry up and go for it no matter what.

Dude has ZERO rushing yards on the seasons albeit on just 5 attempts is that really who you want to put your trust in the most critical play in the game?

1. "Players not plays" -- Get the ball to player best equipped to make it happen for you in that instance. 2. "It's about us" -- Put yourself in position to execute to the highest level rather than relying on getting them to bust the alignment or not be ready.

Mistakes were made.

Running with Cash is a tendency breaker. If you want to catch the defense off-foot, wouldn't it make sense to go *slow* so they can see Cash in the backfield and think "OK this is probably a pass"? Honestly, it's probably on Crawford though. If the decision was made to go for it on 4th prior to the 3rd down play, then he needed to have someone other than Cash in on 3rd down.

This is the shiny object that draws attention but it's not the biggest reason fans should be upset. Cash does enough things for the offense and special teams to rate continued 3rd down snaps. I'm more upset that we find new ways to get out-coached by different Bama staffs. And, that we're constantly reacting to things they're doing and we rarely force them to make in-game adjustments to things we do.

The play was there. Make your blocks. I don’t put that on Cash. No guarantee any other back breaks that tackle either. Make the block and walk into the endzone.

Thank you. Played well on the line all game. Why wouldn’t we block that? Hindsight is 20/20.

I think the angst comes from not learning our lessons in these situations. Notre Dame playoff game - Cash Jones up the gut and gets stuffed. Kills all momentum of a comeback. Austin Peay - albeit, a cupcake game, but at the time we were struggling. Gets stuffed again. Alabama - 4th and 1. “Players not plays” and he gets stuffed. So what do we do? On 3rd and 9, with tons of talent on our roster, we throw a designed swing pass to none other than Cash Jones. Way too much talent on our offense for this.

One thing that worries me is Kirby’s lack of acknowledgement on this part… he usually fixes issues, but I’d own the fact that we didn’t do the right thing, and say it was a lesson learned. Instead he doubles down. Humble coaches ready to adapt is how Saban kept the run going for as long as he did…

Preaching to the choir on that one my man. Always some tough breaks and bad decisions when UGA plays Bama.

You may be right. Cash may have done enough to rate continued 3rd down snaps. Maybe just not 4th down snaps.

IMO, in the process of trying to rush and discombobulate Alabama, UGA did the same thing to its young RT.

I'd venture to say that just because he doesn't come out and say that publicly doesn't mean that there isn't a different message behind closed doors.

I'm perfectly fine with Cash being Georgia's two-minute RB and obvious-passing downs RB. If he gets a carry, it needs to be in garbage time or a 3rd and long, settle-for-a-field goal/field position draw play.

Rushing to the ball in tempo was the worst thing to me. Gunner most likely got the first down. To not even consider looking at it is bad coaching. To go hurry up with bad personnel in the game is bad coaching 4th and inches you line up shotgun and run weak side zone….. AWFUL coaching.

I can get behind going for it. I just don't understand how you dont get your A team in there, and then call your best 4th down/2 point play that's not on tape.
