After 2nd Time Watching

[305to954]

I think the youngsters will grow into the position and get better and better every game. They faced the best they can anticipate during the regular season and were not as bad as perceived by many. Moving them now will destroy the progress already made and does not bode well for their future. This is a young team and will have growing pains but the long term benefit is worth it. As they grow we will be winning the Coastal while they progress and it will prepare us for the ACC championship and beyond.

Yea..they will get better, but we can’t depend on that..I mean 10 sacks..I think 2 off the top of my head was on the QB..but that’s not Miami standards..that’s not power 5 conference standard..maybe Zion will be good, he looks the part..but he’s not close too ready..Campbell had a rough game tooo

I still like this team a lot, nothing I saw last night in Orlando changed my mind. But they need to clean things up, and they are really thin in terms of depth at certain spots

onto Sept 7 and Chapel Hill

Agree K9 I really like this group.. I didn't curse or go crazy last night. I said think how young we are. This is really going to be fun watching these guys grow up and learn to make plays and finish games. This is the fun part development. Seeing guys like Gilbert make plays.. how can people not be excited.

Offensive Thoughts -

- Jarren, Zion, & Campbell - Need to get used to D1 P5 game speed. Potential is there for all three though. They should only get better.
- Enos play calling was great on the first few drives and pretty good overall. The OT struggling and Jarren not throwing the ball away, made it difficult to scheme.
- Deejay, Jordan, Scaife, Osborn, all played great and showed they can be leaders on offense
- Mallory was non-existent
- JT still seems like he isn't involved enough
- Need more Pope than Martell

Defensive Thoughts -

- Thought the DBs played very solid, besides Gurvan missing the tackle on the long Toney TD. Kudos to the DB group and coaches
- 2-3 bull**** Pass Interference calls (on Blades & Finley) really hurt us/momentum
- Garvin needs to be more impactful.
- Played ok, but LBs look slow man.
- Strikers played awesome - Finley and Gilbert
- Ford looked very solid. Encouraging stuff from him, Frierson, Rousseau (would like to see more of him), Blades, Amari, Patchan etc.
- Bandy - DAWG (enough said)

Overall -

Penalties on Cam's run, JT muffed punt, and Baxa missing easy FG killed us. Game was ours for the taking even with our QB and two OTs being Freshman in their first starts and looking like it.

Encouraging game and there's no reason we shouldn't win the coastal but discouraging that we could've easily won if we didn't shoot ourselves in the foot multiple times. UFag sucks (borderline Top 20 team)

You dont think UF shot themselves in the foot??

Its interesting, last year after LSU it really did feel like the end of the Richt era. Like you knew where this was heading

Last night, it felt like ,"OK, it may take some time, but I see where this could be heading.'

Sitting right behind the bench, you could see how engaged and into the game our guys were. And seeing them leave the field, you could see the disappointment. But now this is a test for Manny Diaz - getting them refocused and recalibrated to Sept 7th.

Again, Rome was not built in a day. I remember a lot of frustrating losses as Butch built this program back to prominence

I didn't want him to get on the plane. lol I felt the same way.. I like our backs the OL needs time to gel.

Yeah they were beyond disappointed. You saw brevin's face on TV he looked like someone died.
On to UNC I'll be in the building. Excited to see the guys up close and how they respond to a little adversity.

I would only add that we need Diaz to be involved more with special teams.We gave 17 points on special team play.No Bueno!

It was important enough for Beamer to coach special teams personally. We haven't had that type of commitment to special teams since Coker fired Don Soldinger.

show me a good loser....and I'll show you a loser.

Losing can never be easily accepted

Also, if u watch again u can clearly see Zuniga beating the OL from the snap of the ball every single time. In my opinion the snap count needed to be addressed at some point in the game. Adjustments could had been made. They were getting beat from the snap of the ball. 10 sacks is unacceptable.

They have to get the substitution packages in from the sidelines quicker so they can break from the huddle with plenty of time left. It'll allow Jarren vary the snap count and keep the element of doubt in the DL.
