Shaq and Pink both better have a 100plus tackle season this year.

and before you ***** start replying to me about how that's so hard...please stfu and go see the Bermuda Triangle, Nate & Dan, Vilma, and DJ, etc....

Shaq is so overrated at this point. He needs to play a helluva lot better and he needs to be a DOG in the phone booth because he is kitten right now.

He's a nice MLB that's played well...that's not good enough.

And you wonder why local kids hate UM. Miami is the only school with fans like this clown that trash their own players more than rival fans.

I could give a **** bish!

Let me tell you a thing or 2 bish...local kids aren't reading a got **** message board polluted by fans you ******* MORON and if my opinion hurts them then **** THEM, FCKK YOU, and **** any mentally weak minion that has an issue with someone's opinion of their play.

GTFOOH you *** wipe.
 
Mccloud just isn’t good. Too much film on him at this point. He got lumped in with the others just because he was a freshman.
Takes forever to diagnose plays and is way too stiff in the hips.

Shaq and Pinck need to take that next step into the elite status. Vilma made a huge jump between the regular season his sophomore year and his junior year. I’m leaving out the Rose Bowl because that was by far his best game that year...but it was also somewhat of an anomaly. He was very solid that year...but he exploded that game.

But yea, D. Smith, Wilder.....don’t know who it’s gonna be.....but we need better play from the Sam spot.

This is a message board.... a place to share and discuss opinions. All teams have messsge boards...which means all fans have opinions.

Big difference between someone sharing their opinion on a message board....and some weirdo going at a player directly on social media.

This kumbaya crap some of you spew is just plain stupid.

I agree WELL isn't good enough... I'm expecting a lot more... I can't see them getting 100 tackles though them game has changed ... a lot more pass plays nowadays and a lot more rotation/subbing than the teams of the past... but I'm with you I need more than what we have seen this far

Saying stuff like this on a message board makes no sense other than trying to rile people up, and before you start back at me - I don’t give a fūck, you’re entitled to it. Say whatever the fūck you want.

My point is that this type of opinion works only if your nose to nose with Shaq. Are you the one going to tell him?

A coach doesn't rotate just for the sake of it imo...the rotation says just as much about them as it does about the coaches imho.

They should play so well that coaches can't stomach anyone rotating in for them during the course of a game...unless it's a blowout.

100 tackles a piece....they sure as **** miss their fair share so it's doable imho.
 
Eat a **** bro. What you wrote is nonsense.

How about you eat two dycks.

No nonsense here. All the starting LBs have room for improvement nobody disputes that.

Just saying your keyboard warrior act is lame as fūck. Make it real by getting on the players yourself, otherwise it’s fingers on a keyboard.
 
McCloud did take a step back, but I think it was b/c we went with a nickel defense with muddy badger..

Last year, like 16, there was a drop-off in athleticism and caliber with the back-ups - but not quite as pronounced. I might be in the minority, but I think we'll miss Owens(I thought he was pretty good as a rotational guy and flashed at times).

The young pups is who Im interested in. Wilder looks like a guy who can run in a straight line very fast but he looks a bit stiff. Jennings, people question his quickness and Steed is the guy people tell me is the one who will surprise people.

And I like the move with Derrick Smith to 'backer. Nowadays, you need to have guys who are flexible and play in space

Tremaime Edwards and Roquan Smith will be the first two LBs in this year's draft ...Roquan has 252 career tackles and Tremaime has 213 ... Shaq has 167 even after missing a game last season his could have less than 100 and top both of them... our concerns are different I would rather more impact than tackles... I would rather 25 less tackle and 10 more impact plays... What you are saying has its validity just don't agree on how you are saying it. And if you want I have a video roll of every tackle Shaq has missed ... if he was the only LB to miss a tackle that would be a cause for concern but that happens every Saturday and Sunday ... just as recent as the National Championship Game and even the Super Bowl

@UknowWhat ... a question (not a criticism) on Shaq's play last year:

I noticed on a lot of plays, based on assignments, Shaq had the option of a delayed blitz. It seemed when he did this he almost always had his head down to crush the QB. Oftentimes the QB was still able to get the pass off beforehand.

Not knowing LB technique or how Shaq is taught to diagnose these plays, is there any reason he didn't keep his head up more to attempt to bat down passes?
