    A few scrimmage nuggets

    Although I tend to agree it is a bit premature for all of this speculation, and entering the transfer portal now (before the NCAA has addressed the IC issue) is foolish for most of these kids, it would hardly be the first time a UM football player made a brash/emotional/stupid decision to leave...

    100%. And it's usually because they try to go around the contact or try to avoid the contact instead of driving through it and making a strong play on the ball. Playing small and with limited physicality.

    A few scrimmage nuggets

    He absolutely got a load of 1 v. 1 opportunities last season, unfortunately he often either did not fight for the ball or dropped the ball. All season it felt like any 50/50 balls beyond 20 yards thrown his way were more like 20/80 balls in favor of the bad guys (and I may be being too kind...

    From a production standpoint, Wiggins frustrates me more. He was marginally less productive than Pope with more snaps last season. I also tend to think he's not physical or savvy enough to play on the LOS as an X WR so he struggles with press coverage, but that's more on the coaches (and...

    God, I hope our coaches aren't that insane. Take the skinny WR who lacks confidence, is more of a flag football guy than real football player, and who lacks football IQ and instincts on the field, and move him into a tighter space in the slot to "toughen him up" running routes into LBs and...

    Statistically, he will likely have already dropped a pass in that game, or will soon drop a pass in that game. But you're right, those guys are still going to come full tomahawk.

    And that was him playing with his hair on fire and with full knowledge that if he didn't perform at his best he had ZERO NFL hopes. UGA saw the best of Cager that season, and it was still a guy who doesn't play to his size, doesn't have strong hands, has difficulty separating, and is prone to...

    Yes. Two years on the bench at Baga. Transfer to UM. Be handed the starting job last season. Suck balls for the year. Virtually the same result.

    Are you suggesting his numbers were still "improving" after the NC State game? Doesn't that ignore the fact Duke and UNC, games that happened after NC State, were two of his worst 5 performances of the season? And lol @ anyone, anywhere arguing over whether Pope is an All American. That's...

    A few scrimmage nuggets

    Yeah, I'm writing them both off. Especially Wiggins. I have a tiny little sliver of hope for Pope, and even then only in a minimized role coming off the bench. Jeudy caught 145 balls for nearly 2500 yards and 24 TDs in his last two seasons of college football (as a sophomore and junior)...

    Pope had one good game all season, and it was about 6 weeks before the bowl game. For the record, here's Pope's stats per game: 9/10/20 UAB 2 18 9.0 0 15 9/19/20 LOUISVILLE 4 64 16.0 0 31 9/25/20 FLORIDA ST. 5 60 12.0 0 22 10/10/20 CLEMSON 0 0 0.0 0 0 10/17/20 PITTSBURGH 5 46 9.2 0...

    A few scrimmage nuggets

    I will ignore for a moment that one guy is playing in his first 16-game season in the NFL, while the other was in his third season of college football and played 11 games. But not on his worst day as a starting WR in college did JJ look as bad as Pope and Wiggins did against OkSU: That is...

    I was told by CIS's Diaz Devotees' Club that any time there is the possibility of a coaching error, it's almost always one or more players underperforming. And in the rare case where it is a coaching issue, we look first to the position coach, then the coordinator, and lastly the HC.

    I definitely hit the reply button on my phone instead of the quote button while I was trying to include @HighSeas's earlier post along with yours. **** happens. My bad. If that's what you want to hang your hat on, god bless. But I think it is far more interesting that you keep missing the point...

    I read just fine and process information just fine, friend. It is how I can discern the difference between a post by @HighSeas pointing out Grimes is very limited but along with Toney had his limited strengths maximized by a coaching staff placing them in a position to succeed notwithstanding an...

    Propping up Grimes... Propping up Toney... Sucking off the 2020 **** offense... All in one post about a UM scrimmage. Develop some pride, hit the showers, and try again next scrimmage.
