ATHENS - Georgia Bulldog starting QB Carson Beck previewed the upcoming game against Vanderbilt with media on Monday and offered the following comments.
On being successful against the blitz…
“First and foremost, the offensive line picking up the blitz helps me. Big time. Not only that, but the center, Sedrick [Van Pran], — and my study of film and seeing what defenses are going to try and do when they do blitz us, making the right ID as far as mike points and changing protections and all that stuff. Having Sedrick there to help me with that and then also just studying film. Obviously, the execution of it, picking up the blitz, but that’s a huge credit to our offensive line.”
On watching film with other teammates and his accuracy this season …
“As far as film, I know Sedrick and the whole offensive line watches a lot of film together. Most of the time I watch a lot of film by myself, but there is a lot of communication that goes back and forth between me and him. In practice, coaches prepare us well as far as scout team looks and that sort of thing. As far as accuracy goes, I think that’s just a chemistry thing. As we continue to play and I continue to understand certain guys and the way they run certain routes, I think that goes towards the whole accuracy thing.”
On his baseball background helping him handle pressure…
“I can say that’s part of it. I’ve been through a lot of things in my life that have helped me to the point where I can handle pressure. Being a pitcher, playing baseball, you’re the only guy that’s really doing anything when you’re up there pitching. Baseball’s a little bit more boring of a sport. When you’re sitting there pitching, you’re the guy, all the weight is on you to sit there and execute. Whether you’re throwing 80, 90, 100 pitches a game. I definitely say that can accredit to the way that I handle pressure.”
On how he has improved since the first game against UT Martin…
“Obviously, the confidence standpoint, I think that’s the biggest thing. Continuing to move forward, I think I can improve in every area as far as it goes, as far as timing goes, little footwork things, the knowledge of the game, the feel of the game, trying to learn how to play football again. It was a long time since I had played in a game and the game speed compared to practice is so hard to replicate. Really the only way to replicate is to play in the game.”
