- I got sun burned. Yeah, that's gonna irritate me the next few days

- I expect to see 2 and 3 TE sets from Gattis. Seriously, from Mallory, to Arroyo, to Brantley(who looked good), Mamms and Skinner, I try and get REAL creative with these guys. Especially if a true #1 WR doesnt' emerge

- Ivey was in a ton of press coverage today and I thought played well. Take that for what you will for Mr April. Overall, believe it or not, I like our defensive backs. Were actually good there

- We held out a lot of guys, so take that with a grain of salt. Guys like Campbell(who was dressed out) and Ty Stevenson didn't play (among many others)

- with that said, I still saw too many guys where I said, 'Yeah, this guy doesn't look like he belongs at UM.' We still need another recruiting class or two and heavy transfer portal action

- Thomas Davis can do some things as a situational rusher. Dont think he's ready to be a 3 down end Cy Moss flashed a bit, but he's skinnier than Lamar Thomas in 1991. Give him time with Dr. Feld

- I liked what I saw from Thad Franklin. He has a Lendale White quality to him as a college running back. As for the explosion plays, again, Rooster didn't play

- Still need a WR who can truly threaten the defense over the top

- Now Im going to watch the fights later on, and get some Aloe Vera.

@k9cane I wasn't able to watch live, how did the interior oline and dline perform.

Not as knowledgeable as k9, but I would say the oline looked much better in run blocking overall...and the 1's were very good in terms of creating a clean pocket for TVD and Garcia. Sagapolu is small but plays with a mean streak. Zion did get beat by Davis a few times.

D-line needs alot of help (pls bring me Mesidor and Dorlus, etc.), and part of why the o-line looked pretty good. Lichtenstein flashed at times - think he'll be very solid. LT's 1st step was fantastic and you can see the talent, just correcting old habits from the Manuelita regime. Miller still isn't doing anything for me - wouldn't be surprised if he is added to the portal gang (especially if we bring in multiple DT's).

We, dont give me too much credit, lol.

I dont think there's any doubt we are now a better coached team -- now the question is how quickly can Mario upgrade the talent to where Miami can compete nationally?

I just want to see what this roster looks like in August, and with all available players suited up and ready to go. The way I look at it, they have a few games to get ready for Sept 17 in College Station. For me, that's really our first game

Zion always gets beat by quicker D linemen. Nothing new. So until I see Davis beating O linemen in a real game I will be skeptical. I have seen this movie before "we cant block him in practice" then comes the real games. Hopefully he breaks the green tree all star tradition.
 
One thing that stood out to me was "who was a Mario recruit" and who wasnt. Most of Mario's recruits are extremely well built and athletic. Sagapolu is WIDE, Moultrie is bigger than most of our DT's, so is Lichtenstein, etc etc

as he says -- ''I know what it looks like''

The days of developmental projects(or too many of them) are over with
 
Whats up with Mallory? I see he is a sling, bad shoulder again? Since FSU 2020 he injured shoulder multiple times, I think this 3rd time? Shoulder injuries are tricky AF.. Hope he can recover, might be reason he sometimes seems scared to block or of contact, scared of getting hurt and catching blocks.. ends up hurt again..
 
Sounds like if this front 7 is revamped we could make some real noise this year.
In Mario & Andrew Rogers I trust.

Man, however bad you got sunburned, you should have seen Ferman. That guy is going to be in Jackson's burn ward tonight.

Sorry I missed connecting with you before the game.
