Watch as Coach Kirby Smart explains that there are two things a defense can't give to an elite QB: clear pictures (QB reads the defense pre-snap) and time (protection beats coverage). Coach Smart shows 3 plays from the 2022 Peach Bowl in which the opponent executed successful passing plays. The Georgia defense made changes on obvious passing downs, and this presented a different picture to the QB. The 1st film clip shows the QB holding the ball and protection breaking down, resulting in sack. The 2nd clip shows an incomplete pass because of changing the picture.
