With offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer coming in, there are plenty of questions surrounding Georgia’s offense. The running game is certainly not one of them, with a talented stable of backs led by Nick Chubb and a powerful offensive line returning four starters.

First among the questions, who is going to be under center? The Bulldogs have to replace a senior starter for the second year in a row, and they’re in the midst of a three-man competition between Brice Ramsey, Jacob Park and Faton Bauta for the quarterback job.

Next on the docket, who is going to line up on the outside? There’s good reason for concern, as Georgia is losing its two best receivers to graduation. While Malcolm Mitchell is back for his senior year, there’s uncertainty behind him.

Sure, there’s reason for concern. But there’s also good reason to put that concern to the side, and it starts with Jeb Blazevich.

Last year’s Freshman All-SEC tight end made an instant impact, bringing in 18 catches for 269 yards, fourth and third on the team, respectively. He was a beast in the run game as well, more than holding his own staying into block. He showed a knack for making tough catches, with many of his receptions coming in traffic. The rising sophomore has high potential as a two-way tight end, capable of becoming a major factor in both the run and pass games.

With Schottenheimer calling the shots, Georgia’s tight ends figure to be the beneficiaries on offense. Blazevich, as well as Jordan Davis, Jackson Harris and Jay Rome, who was limited in 2014 after foot surgery, could be the receiving weapons the Bulldogs need.

At the NFL level, where Schottenheimer spent nearly a decade as an offensive coordinator, the Dawgs OC’s tight ends thrived. The last two years in St. Louis, tight end Jared Cook led the team in catches, totaling 103 catches for 1,305 yards and eight touchdowns over two seasons with the team. Those Rams teams, like Georgia, dealt with inexperience at quarterback, as Sam Bradford suffered injuries both seasons and played just seven games total.

In all six of Schottenheimer’s seasons with the New York Jets, a tight end finished as one of the team’s top-three pass catchers, including Dustin Keller leading the team in catches and yards in 2010 and 2011. None of those Jets teams was loaded with talent at wide receiver, blending in a mix of unproven players and past-their-prime veterans, so Schottenheimer had to find alternative ways to throw the ball.

Georgia has talent at receiver, especially relative to what some of Schottenheimer’s teams have had. Mitchell has the potential to be an excellent go-to possession receiver. Isaiah McKenzie has breakout potential. Terry Godwin and Jayson Stanley join the team in the fall as touted freshmen.

While those players adjust to new roles and whoever the new quarterback is gets settled, Schottenheimer’s offense could make things easier by featuring the big tight end targets.
