We could have playable depth at safety if Fitzgerald proves he can atleast grab someone’s ankles
I listen to cover 3 in season and before. Starting at win totals time. So I’ve been listening lately when I’m caught up on CIS pod. Those guys had good points but really their main concern(and mine) is the fact that we end the season with 7 straight conference games and two in the cold at the end of the year. Can you imagine us navigating that schedule without issue? Idk.
But we will be stout on the lines. And should be able to defend better this year. They had us losing to the domers for sure and maybe beating ufag
Beck gonna be a problem behind this OL in the ACC.
Agreed, wish he could have enrolled during the spring. With him now being 190, hopefully that helps.
I'm cautiously optimistic hearing our WRs are struggling to separate from the DBs. That's what you want to hear in early camp, especially when pads come on. I'm not "down" on the WRs nor "up" on the DBs. We know we upleveled that DB room dramatically, and the WRs are only now running routes under Dawson's and Beard's scrutiny with a new QB. But two weeks from now, we want to start hearing about spectacular catches in blanketed coverage.
I will never sharpie a win for a Miami team in the cold, ever. And I will never sharpie in a win for the Miami Hurricanes against a middling ACC team.
HOWEVER....I really think VT is going to stink this year. Sure, if it's 17 degrees, I'll be scared ****less. But I really, really think that's going to be a very average football team, or worse. I'm not convinced at all that Pry even makes it to that game.
Pitt, yeah, for sure. They'll be tough, they always are. And prior history has zero bearing on this season, but we have handled Pitt well for a long time. We've won our last 2 games up there, in 2021 and 2019.
I do wish we had a bye sometime in late October or early November like everyone else. But I really don't think the schedule is that bad. We have 8 home games...when's the last time that happened? Ever? We don't leave the state until November 1. 6 of the first 7 games are home. IMO Louisville is the best ACC team we play, that game is at home, and we have 13 days to get ready for it. We all point to the SMU game, which will likely be tough, but that will be SMU's 5th straight Saturday with a game. Not like they're going to be well rested, the 2 they play before us are both on the road. So they have 5 straight games, the 3rd and 4th are back to back road trips, then we come calling.
The Pitt game, again my concerns above, but they play Notre Dame and GT in the 2 weeks before us. GT being on the road. Those are 2 physical, hard-nosed teams who are likely to handle Pitt physically. Not like they have a bye before we come to town.
I think this team is set up to play well in the cold. It's a big, physical offensive line, and really good defensive line.
Last year pre season? Or just in hindsight
Because the staff doesn't want any buzz out about him.
Every player you hear about in camps has been curated & pre-approved.
When you hear "buzz", about a player, it's because they want you to hear about him.
Beautiful placement
We’ve finally got a legitimate squad that can make some noise in consecutive years.
WRs are gonna have to make critical plays when teams decide to stack the box but having a battle tested vet at QB like Carson Beck will prove to be the acquisition of the year.

Toney and moore buzz make it very obvious lol
Last year it was JoJo and Ny Carr and neither one did anything when the season started.
I feel like this has been everyone’s concern though. And by everyone, I mean Miami, the media, the coaches. This isn’t really new information, and I’m not discounting it just because it’s from Bud…in fact, I’m not discounting it at all. We all know that we lost half a dozen receivers last year and are replacing with younger guys and transfers. It’s a huge unknown and been talked about to death.
Exactly. Total nonsense. Now, if you want to say the folks who view practice are journalists and writers and don't know ball, that's one thing. But they're not being told who they can and can't talk about, they watch drills, take notes, and report what they seen. Obviously they have off the record discussions with staff members who can skew things, but the practice reports are what they are. The staff doesn't have holograms out there making fake plays or hiding kids behind walls.
Very true, I think just his point was more, nobody is separating yet. Obviously it's early, but I'm sure some/most of this is from the summer anyway. In a perfect world, the narrative would be, "Miami lost their top 6 pass-catchers, but the room can pick up the slack because Player X looks like a budding superstar, and Player Y should be able to replicate what they lost in (blank)"
His point was, when he asks, one guy says Trader looks good, the next guy says Toney looks good, the next guy, etc.
Yeah, there's a chance all these kids are elite and nobody is pulling away because they're all so good. But that's certainly not a heavy favorite. Most likely, it's because they're all pretty much the same and nobody is standing out as elite.
Chance Robinson….
Here is your Chance
Here is your Chance
We needed a WR1 and whiffed after Beck’s decision went longer than we needed it to.
Surprised at a logical take from Bud. Shame they let Horton walk
This isn't true at all. I may personally curate it for strategic reasons (gameplan, injury), but the staff never talks to me about what I post or say.
