Losing 2-3rd team backups and people are ready to we ready to write the season off. Not Brad kaaya.. Backups lol
We've lost Grace and Muhammed... Two big time players.
Colbert, starting CB, is injured.
Even losing 2nd stringers is a big deal since there is literally no depth behind them.

Listen, Bukkake. I really appreciate your blatant homerism and optimism. It's needed sometimes, IMO. But we are only 1.5 weeks into a long season. We have literally 3 freshman linebackers starting on our depth chart with the equivalent of a paper sack backing them up. JJ had to be moved down into a nickel hybrid to compensate. THAT'S A BIG ****ING DEAL. We just lost our starting corner for a few weeks, meaning Redwine is now the starter. If we have JJ in as a linebacker, who plays if one of our safeties goes down now? What if Corn or Redwine get hurt or nicked up? Am I to believe that you actually think Ryan Mayes or a True Freshman Malek Young will be ready to go against our ACC schedule? Our DL depth is atrocious; good teams run 2 deep with guys that can make plays. Our second team ends will be Toolbox Trent with a club on his hand and a true freshman in Jackson. They are one play away from starting. On the interior, we have 3 healthy players, a guy with a bum shoulder and Ryan ****ing Fines on the verge of the two deep. Does that sound like not a big deal? Offensively, Bruce can be overcome because we have great TEs, but as the season goes on we really needed him to provide depth on ST so guys like Elder don't have to return kicks. Not to mention we are now down to 7 scholarship receivers with 2 being freshman and one being a huge JAG in Langham.
TL;DNR version. Get your head out of your *** and realize that this is a problem. I'm going to enjoy what I got, but my expectations are grounded in reality.
You say that like redwine is a f_cking scrub. He is good... Plus Colbert will be back in a few weeks probably during the bye week. We knew we had 3 freshman starting backers before the season started to begin with so what's the problem now? it is what it is thats the way the cards was dealt. Essentially 2 of them would have started regardless because they were the best options on the roster period and played at a high level in quarterman and Pinckney. They weren't given the 2 starting spots they took it from upperclassmen due to their talent. Mccloud starting because of the grace issue but he ain't a scrub either. Teams would kill to have a 4 deep of Kenderick Norton, Rj mcintosh, Gerald Willis and Anthony Moten. That's deeper than we have been since the randy Shannon era but now it's a huge problem? Man whatever lol. Trent Harris had only had 1 less sack than Muhammad last year and played less plays on the dline last year it's not that serious with that position. All of the dline have been trained by the best dline coach in America. They will all be productive no matter who is playing that's what he does.... And at receiver we still have a talented group yeah it took a hit but truth of the matter is Bruce hasn't been getting many reps and wasn't in the gameplan for the last few weeks. Miami can still go 3-4 wide at receiver but the most likely scenario is that we will run a lot of 2 receiver, 2 tight end looks which is still very good because coley, Richards, Herndon, njoku are very talented. It's not the end of the season so stop over exaggerating everything
