N’Kosi Perry starts with the ones to begin Monday's practice

Sep 24, 2018

Although Mark Richt did not commit to a QB in the post-game interviews following UM's win over FIU, it sure looked like he was beginning to tip his hand on Monday morning.

After coming into the game in relief and leading Miami to their third win of the season against FIU on Saturday, redshirt freshman QB N'Kosi Perry began Monday's workouts on Greentree with the first team offense, the first time that's ever happened.

Malik Rosier worked in with the second string, followed by Cade Weldon with the threes, and Jarren Williams with the fours.

Miami has a short week this week and continues their season at home on Thursday night (8 pm) against the UNC Tar Heels.

over 28 games Malik's percentage completion is 53%
over 3 games Perry is at 66.7%

Malik % completion has actually dropped 2 points from 2017 to 2018.

bottom line: Malik is a 50% passer. that is what the stats say that he is and he will never get signficantly better than this.
Perry has too few games to get a good sample size but he has the upside

If you want to win something significant we need a QB that completes a lot more than 50 % . PERIOD!

Dorsey career I think was 58%

My add on is that It’s also a lot of getting the ball to the correct playmakers in a manner that allows them to get YAC

That was a smooth transition by Coach Richt. Hoping Kosi sticks and balls out. I think we have the defense to make a run at the ACC.

The oline issues are what they are for the rest of the season... luckily they could be much worse like what FSU is dealing with.

Our oline isn’t going to dominate any one this season but there are enough quality pieces to allow Perry to make throws and RBs to make plays for the most part.

We most definitely do. I'd say Richt saw that FSU sucks, VT sucks, GT sucks, and BC looked good until this weekend. Really nothing to lose. There shouldn't be a team on our schedule that can play with us regardless of who is at QB. Might as well groom the heir to the position since it was so close to start with.

Not gonna lie I was surprised when I saw Perry actually run out onto the field for that 3rd series

I know they showed him warming up but I was like ehhh this is just a mental thing Richt must be doing to Rosie to step up

TIFWIW but SMD had this to say "Also: Expect struggling punter Zach Feagles to be replaced on Thursday by backup Jack Spicer. At least it sounded that way this morning...." While she has no facts, sources, or real information, it at least sounded that way to her.

I was wrong about richt was pretty sure we was gon get Malik the whole season. Glad I was wrong tho

Richt and the rest of the staff and players want to win NOW! And the kid gives Miami the best opportunity! So perhaps, as I opined many moons ago, Richt ISN'T so STUBBORN after all. dUh. :youre-nuts:

Let's hope Malik handles this with class, a la Hurts.

I'm not worried about Malik. He'll be just fine and what not. After all, he is a TEAM PLAYER!

I Am happy this is happening, I just want to see more. I want to see how Perry does when he takes some good hits and when he faces some adversity. #5 is our starter on the short week. Let's Roll!

bout time. now lets open the playbook, and go win the ACC.

Who's to say the playbook hasn't been open all along, but Rosier's inability to make reads/audibles has made it look vanilla AF

I absolutely agree with U! No need to have JJ mess up his hamstring and what not.

The most serious bone bruise I can ever recall a player having. Rest him again and maybe just maybe he can play against FSU.

It's probably a patellar bone bruise. Those take longer to heal because of repetitive bone on bone contact. Rushing him back before he heals risks stress fracture, cartilage damage, osteoarthritis, etc.

Remember a bone bruise is really a fracture to one layer of bone tissue; the name is misleading.

Breaking Down Bone Contusions - In Street Clothes

Patellar bone contusions are even more complicated due to the biomechanics of the kneecap. The kneecap or patella is embedded within the tendon of the quadriceps muscle group. This somewhat unusual location enables the patella to increase the moment arm of the tendon, increasing the moment of torque and consequently improving range of motion. However, as it moves, the kneecap comes in contact with multiple areas of the knee joint, particularly the femur. This repetitive bone-on-bone contact can negatively impact healing and prolong the rehab process.
