The second corner spot scares me. Clarke flashed at times but also got burned a lot, Blades hasn't played football in 2 years, Couch regressed big time last year is better suited as a nickel corner, Ivey....no, and Dunson is on a milk carton. I think we badly need a veteran DB to challenge this group for the second starting job.

clarke sucked 97% of the year last year. i watched him in person all of the time. he sucked. with blades likely not returning (i have no inside or outside information), we don't have a second CB. at least blades was serviceable. all the others regressed and sucked last year. as i said in another thread, i'm going to attribute the regression to manday/manuela/maricon and to DVD, who has no business coaching anyone anywhere

Al Blades jr or start one of the true freshmen CBs at the #2 spot. I would be perfectly fine if Chris Graves is starting opposite Stevenson if he’s ready.

I'd rather bring in a talented veteran Corner (if we can land one) than rely on a true freshman.
 
Here is my two-deep. I projected portal additions (fingers crossed) and where I hope they fit in. I recognize that some of these players may not even end up at these positions (Campbell, Scaife, Roberts, Brooks, Keontra, Harrell etc.).

QB: Tyler Van Dyke; Jake Garcia
RB: Henry Parrish OR Don Chaney; Jaylan Knighton
WR: Frank Ladson; Romello Brinson
WR: Jacolby George; Key'Shawn Smith
WR: Xavier Restrepo; Brashard Smith
TE: Will Mallory; Elijah Arroyo OR Jaleel Skinner
LT: Zion Nelson; John Campbell
LG: Jalen Rivers; Cleveland Reed
C: Jakai Clark; Laurance Seymore
RG: Logan Sagapolu; Justice Oluwaseun
RT: Portal; DJ Scaife

SDE: Elijah Roberts OR Jake Lichtenstein; Nyjalik Kelly
DT: Leonard Taylor OR Jared Harrison-Hunte; Antonio Moultre
DT: Portal; Jordan Miller
WDE: Jahfari Harvey OR Chantz Williams; Cyrus Moss
MLB: Portal; Sam Brooks OR Tirek Austin-Cave
OLB: Chase Smith; Wesley Bissainthe
Hybrid: Gilbert Frierson; Keontra Smith
CB: Tyrique Stevenson; Te-Cory Couch
CB Portal; Al Blades
S: James Williams; Avantae Williams
S: Kamren Kinchens; Jalen Harrell

This fvckin' guy was a defensive coach who was here for a total of 6 years...yet the talent on defense is embarrassingly pedestrian.

Our DE's are pedestrian.
We have 2 Miami level DT's.
Our LB unit is mostly trash.
The Safety unit has 3 really good players.
But the CB position is also pedestrian if not for the Stevenson transfer.

We're undersized across the board. We have very few prototype bodies at DE, DT, CB and LB.



We have really good talent at QB, RB, WR and TE.
OL is basura.

It's gonna take Mario a couple classes before this looks like a true UM roster.

Man I wonder all the time what was Manny think on defense.

That OL depth makes me want to puke. Need at least one plug in starter on the OL and another depth player.

Also need a veteran WR, not necessarily Rambo-esque but more like KJ. I would love an impact DE as opposed to a rotational guy. Agreed on LB and CB.

Isn't Scaife coaching by now?

Here's my best guess for OL

1st team: Nelson -- Rivers -- Clark -- Sagapolu -- Scaife

2nd team: Hillery -- Campbell -- Traore -- Reed -- Oluwaseun

Scout team: Seymore, McLaughlin, Washington, Rodriguez, Walker, McCoy, Cooper

Just doesn't really add up at this point to put Chaney over anyone as he has not stayed healthy. Thad's stats really don't mean much considering who they were against IMO.


I think we are undervaluing Rooster here.

Yeah Kids a beast and our best back by far. Once he puts on wait look for him to dominate this year, Coach Feld got these boys showing Real Body Transitions with his strength and conditioning

@Coach Macho how do you like the new DC hire?
 
My OL guess
LT Zion Conerly Walker
LG Sagapolu Oluwaseaun Cooper
C Clark Rodriguez
RG Scaife Seymore
RT Rivers Campbell McCoy

I think Rivers will be moved to RT
Kids left off will not factor in

QB1 - Tyler Van Dyke
QB2 - Jake Garcia
QB3 - Jacurri Brown

RB1 - Jaylan Knighton
RB2 - Don Chaney (when healthy)
RB3 - Henry Parrish Jr
RB4 - Thad Franklin Jr
RB5 - Trevonte Citizen
(All 5 will play, no redshirts, Cody Brown hits the portal)

XWR - Keyshawn Smith/ Romello Brinson
YWR - Xavier Restrepo/ Brashard Smith
ZWR - Jacolby George/ Frank Ladson

TE1 - Will Mallory
TE2 - Elijah Arroyo
TE3 - Larry Hodges
TE4 - Kahlil Brantley
TE5 - Dominic Mamarelli
TE6 - Jaleel Skinner

LT - Zion Nelson/ Issiah Walker Jr/ Chris Washington
LG - Jalen Rivers/ Justice Oluwaseun/ Anez Cooper
C - Jakai Clark/ Ryan Rodriguez/ Laurence Seymore
RG - Logan Sagapolu/ Ousman Traore/ Cleveland Reed
RT - John Campbell/ DJ Scaife/ Michael McLaughlin

WDE - Jahfari Harvey/ Elijah Roberts/ Cyrus Moss/ Thomas Davis
1T - Jared Harrison-Hunte/ Jordan Miller/ Allan Haye
3T - Leonard Taylor/ Antonio Moultrie/ Ahmad Moten
SDE - Jake Lichtenstein/ Chantz Williams/ Nyjalik Kelly/ Jabari Ishmael

(TBH, I would put at Roberts at DT behind LT, but if they plan on putting Moultrie at DT I swapped the two)

Mike LB - Tirek Austin-Cave/ Corey Flagg Jr/ Sam Brooks/ Deshawn Troutman
Will LB - Chase Smith/ Wesley Bissainthe/ Waynmon Steed/ Tyler Johnson/
STK - Gilbert Frierson/ Keontra Smith/ Jalen Harrell

(Need a Portal LB)

FCB - Tyrique Stevenson/ Al Blades Jr/ Jaden Harris/ Khamauri Rogers
NCB - Te’Cory Couch/ Marcus Clarke/ Malik Curtis
BCB - Keidron Smith/ DJ Ivey/ Chris Graves/ Isaiah Dunson

(Really really need a Portal CB, hoping we get either Keidron Smith or Sevyn Banks)

FS - Kamren Kinchens/ Avantae Williams/ Markeith Williams
RS - James Williams/ Keshawn Washington/ Brian Balom

Still have major needs at CB, LB, DT, DE & OL from the Portal.

And NO this isn’t who I personally would start, I’m just guessing who the staff will start to begin the season.

I like it!
He's had some really good defenses recently, other than one season.
I'm looking forward to seeing what his philosophy is.

Hopefully he doesn't subscribe to the Manny Diaz ideology of leaving zones completely vacant and having your DL run 5 yards up-field.

Do you think Kevin Smith teaches Rooster to carry the ball in his left hand? Praying for a miracle here...lol
