Barry Jackson notes on Canes

[Miami04]

Rosier has a 0% chance of being the starter. No chance

I want to believe that and will be disappointed if he is but I just can't see Rosier not starting game 1

 

[Twhizman]

One stat I'd like to see.how many points did we score off of all those turnovers the defense got for our offense.bet that statll make a lot of people here very upset.

 

[Ageorgiacane4life]

“Some UM people privately hope Perry becomes the starter” lmao nothing private about that. That wasn’t even a good way of sugar coating that statement.

 

[The Franchise]

Both sides of the ball and special teams have huge room for improvement. But go ahead and carry on with the ponderous yearly UM fan ritual of blaming one side of the ball and digging heels trying to prop up the other side.

Great article.
I am hoping to see more I formation, running down people's throats and creating mismatches with our RBs , FB and TE's in the redzone/near the goalline.

And the part about Dallas in the slot and Homer and Lorenzo in the back field at the same time just made me do a mental back flip and somersault.

 

[ghost2]

So are we going to be a read-option spread team as per @DMoney and our QB/WR recruiting, or an I-form team as per Richt's comments and our FB/TE recruiting? Or are we going to be "multiple"? (which I hate...)

 

[kryptonite]

Buckhead? Nah lol. Comment was made in terms of repetitiveness or mind boggling play calling in the redzone but I know you are just playing though

The problem isn't the play, it's that we can't execute the play. Obviously you shouldn't call plays you can't execute, but my point is that running up the middle is ideally what you'd like to do from the 2 yard line. I don't know if a FB and a couple TEs are the answer, but it's something we need to get sorted. As stated in the article, we fail on way to many 3rd downs and part of that is because we can't run for 3 yards if the other team knows that's what we want to do.

Fb is fun and all but richt going to have to understand you can’t just run in 3 times in a row in the goal line. You got to diversify the playbook in the endzone and in general fullback or not. I’m praying Perry or Williams steps up this spring. They are the most talented qbs we have had in a minute

That was the problem. All of those top teams mentioned were able to convert that 3rd and 1 or that td from the 2 yd line. To become a better offense you have to buckle the chin strap at times. I don't think that has anything to do with not being more diverse. That is part of being diverse.

The biggest problem I had with our offense was time of possession. When we struggled to stay on the field, it affects our defense’s stamina big time. We had way too many 3 n out because of rosier’s inaccurate passing (which also led to opponent to box our run).

What’s so hard about saying this?
The entire team had good and bad moments.
We need to get a lot better as a team if we want to start sniffing Clemp Son’s jock.

I think we all would come to the conclusion that it takes more than what is stated here to improve. The OL should be better based on recruiting and one more year of strength and conditioning. That can help. Also having RBs that have a nose for the endzone can help too. (That is what everyone seems to be saying about Lingard especially.)
Factoring in all those things and playing more flexible personnel groupings and corresponding play calling should help out in the long run.

People like to argue and dig heels and pick “their guys.” It wouldn’t be much of an internet forum if people were rational. LOL

Defense struggled to get off the field, allowed too many drives to be extended by allowing so many 3rd downs and 3rd and long’s

It’s because they were exhausted by offenses lacking time of possession. When you don’t give our defense some rest, you will struggle to make plays and to get off the field.

 

[Zanecane]

Tried to tell yall all offseason just how garbage our Offense was, but nooooo everybody wanted to just bash the Defense at all costs.

We had one of the worst Offenses in the ACC, I mean it was below average in several categories. With the additions of all the talent we have at RB, WR, TE & OL, there isn't a single excuse anymore.

And don't even waste my time tryna talk up Rosier, it's time for Richt to push this **** thing forward & develop one of his QB's.

Do you think Richt is just saying all the right things to keep Malik from transferring? I just can't understand how Richt can be leaning towards rolling with Malik.

 

[TrueFloridian]

WHY didn't this team run the I-form with Kaaya when we had Williams at FB? That would've made to much sense I guess.

You know how you fix special teams? Better athletes. Kids like Frierson and Blade will make us much better on coverage. Willing to bet that Feagles will be consistent this year. Need a stronger leg for kickoffs. Like Deejay as the heir apparent to Berrios. Need to find a KO returner. Thomas has zero feel for it.

I don't disagree with that in theory. But we had enough athletes to be better last year. Sometimes, you can have fast guys running downfield with their hair on fire doing everything wrong, and they give up big plays.

I like Deejay as PR too. I also agree that we'd be better off with a new primary KR. I thought Thomas would be dynamite because of his ability to cut at full speed, but he was super average. Lingard or Cam Davis could be nasty back there if they are fearless. Imagine those big bulls hitting that thing in there at 100 mph with no regard for life or limb.

Nope that’s not a good excuse, what about the games were teams just drove down the field and got whatever they wanted. Tired doesn’t matter with how much we rotate players in too... we was up 14-3 vs Wisconsin. They was tired then too? Pittsburgh, unc, clemson , uva from the start of the game drove the ball right down our throats, had nothing to do with tiredness
