At least play all the kids

[LuCane]

This team just doesnt have any good players outside of the QB maybe.
And the staff bears plenty of responsibility given that 50 blue chip recruits should be enough to find at least 1 guy you tune in to watch.
But there's a lot of inconsistency. we've played BCU, MTSU and SoMiss and none of the freshman have even flashed. U expect to see something in conference play?

By this time we knew we had Duke, Spence, Lamar, Greg, AR15, Perryman... ****, even Shaq. The fact that you're not seeing em already is because they arent here and that's concerning because not only does it mean the recruiting/eval is ****, it also means the development is ****.


When was the last time you tuned in to watch a player that Miami RECRUITED?

To answer your last question, I’m almost exclusively now watching games for a group of players Miami has recruited the past two seasons. If we sneak out some wins, great. If we continue to lose, I pray it’s with guys like #31 and a few others getting 5x the snaps they’ve received per game so far.

Me too it's all about finding our core group on young soldiers for the future, and build momentum into next season. And do you think we'll see Graves soon, I'm tired of seeing Rique trailing receivers

Quite scathing for your standards

Our competition.

You support the notion that our talent is either equal or worse than our opponent talent?

We are what we are and that’s been relatively clear since Southern Miss: average to below average in almost all aspects.

Can we make our now unlikely ‘run’ at the ACC coastal with more of Bissainthe, Chase Smith, Kelly, any new CBs (since they all get toasted or miscommunicate anyway), Skinner, a real snap distribution at WR, Cooper (OL), and ***whatever other experiments*** we can muster up the courage to try? Yeah, I can see we’re trickling them and different things in. This post is about fully opening the faucet.

Look, what Mario seemingly wants to do (discipline, ‘physical,’ etc.) and what he’s said he wants to build was never gonna happen overnight, but ***that doesn’t excuse the last three losses.*** It’s a brutal product to watch. He’s paid huge money and given much bigger resources than any other previous coach exactly so he can build his program WHILE winning at least the games he should. So far, he has failed at that.

Especially considering a loss to an MTSU team that’s even been rocked by a team (UAB) we took transfers from (who ironically mostly sit on our bench), among other ‘below average’ teams (UTSA and James Madison). And, now a 24 point showing against a weak UNC defense.

Mario will likely talk about the fumble and the mistakes players made, but I wish he’d mention we are plainly underperforming our [mediocre] talent and focus accountability on improved strategies. Our team takes forever to even get started, which is usually an indicator of prep/strategy.

So, fine. Keep hammering away at round holes with square pegs. Most fans have no real choice but to watch. ***But, let’s do that with most of the young guys, maybe?*** No need to slowly build up their snaps or try to win with the other guys. We’re already losing and climbing uphill in the ACC.

I think it’s our best hope to make this product feel less torturous.

This is where being transfer heavy hurts you. Look at Michigan State this year, they relied on transfers holding them up last year and no one got experience. Now they're one of the worst teams in the power 5. USC is going to figure that out if they don't win the PAC-12 this year. Manny kept bringing in transfer after transfer to save his job, but then all the young talent at WR never got reps...now they're learning on the fly taking their lumps in live games and we're seeing the results. Hopefully more reps for the kids this year will allow them to get much needed experience that will bare fruit in future seasons.

I don’t. If you’d more directly ask me what you’re getting to, I’ll be happy to answer. Being below average to average is considerably more than a talent issue. But, I think you know that and I’ve made my stances clear across the board since the beginning of the season.

You're a smart poster and we played to win. We played to win with players we thought could win the game. A couple of plays here and there, guess what, we win.

You score with 4 plays inside the 2.

We don't go for it around the 50, kick it deep, and play defense.

Knighton doesn't fumble.

Mallory picks up that crucial down on a catchable ball.

Take any 2 of those four things, we likely win the game.

I don't get this thread. I understand the thinking, but why throw in the towel? That's how you lose a team.

Its same damm thing every f'in week with this ****astic group. 85 is always on the list of "If that play went our way" I'm so done with that POS. Cant break a tackle, cant block, cant catch a contested ball. Why is 11 still out there? How come few of Marios guys are playing? What evidence is there that Mario is a good coach? He has his D'onot in Mirabal. Our OL looks like ish and Tinkerbell is the only untouchable coach. At this point the season hinges on 1 game. Beat FSU.

****astic group? That's a good way to refer to anyone wearing this team's uniform.

Mallory made a lot of plays. I imagine you were happy with those and you choose to focus on one play he didn't. Now he's a POS? That says more about you than him.

Oh, I don't know, maybe a few of Mario's guys are playing because they're the next man up. Are you there in practice to say otherwise? Are you aware of who is injured or not?

I have my questions about Mario a lot of us do. Maybe Mirabal is his D'No, but the OL is as much Mirabal as it is him. I'm sure he'd take accountability for how that unit is playing.

So you're one of them. The only game that matters is FSU. Got it, suggestion though, tune out until then. You seem pretty upset they aren't living up to your expectations. Maybe a mod can give you a break until then. What a dung pile of a post you served up.

Re 85, you confuse doing the minimum with making a "play." He doesnt make plays, he catches the ball IF no one is around then he runs until 1st contact then he's done. Why did Mario bring guys in if he didnt expect them to play? He saw 11 etc and said we need better yet all of Manny's guys are playing and few of Marios. I judge success by wins and losses. And not all wins and losses are the same. Beating FSU is better then beating Duke. If we're going to be a .500 team I'd much rather one of the few wins be against our rival.

You, amigo, are a beta cuck Mea Culpa -- Low class on my part -

 

[k9cane]

sometimes going backwards can actually expedite the progress you want to make

If you're going to struggle and take your lumps -- do it with the young guys and let them learn. Eventually, it can pay off if the talent is there...

You're special, I get it.

So Mallory does the minimum, got it. What an astute point of view that is. He had one contested opportunity this last game, he caught it so there goes your theory that he doesn't. Most TE"s catch the ball in space typically. Doing the absolute minimum I guess doesn't account for 54 yards of his 115 being yards after the catch. You wanted to ***** a day and a half later about one play, calling him a POS, pretty dumb. Again, that says more about you than him.

Obviously a coach brings someone in to play. What's your point here? Does that mean they'll be a starter? If he isn't playing Manny's guys nor his own, who should he play?

You judge success by wins and losses? Well, I guess nobody was successful Saturday. I'm not sure why you would even have an opinion on an individual. They lost, no success given. Enlightening. Maybe the board should adopt this thinking.

Not all wins and losses are the same. Enlightening. You're killing it today.

Beating FSU is better than beating Duke. Preach brother, you've got my AMEN.

If we're going to be a 500 team, we need to beat more than just FSU. You said it hinges on one game, so can you please make up your mind.

Beta cuck, man, ouch. At least be original and come up with your own insult rather than using CIS popular jargon. Beta is calling players POS. Referring to the team you supposedly root for as a ****astic group now that Beta as ****. Calling another man on a forum is Beta as **** and doesn't validate a thing you said.

Nobody in my lifetime has referred to me as a Beta or Cuck, but some keyboard warriors on a message board. You nailed it and I bet you hit post reply feeling like a champ for once. I wouldn't want to take that away from you, or would I?
