Bill Connelly 2019 Miami Preview

[MessiahChild]

Miami can win with a steady QB – just like it could’ve last year

First-year coach Manny Diaz has done his best to bring a spark to The U in his first offseason. Will it last into the fall?

This guy covers all the bases and hits on just about every point.

Excellent write up. Props for him for giving a clear and accurate synopsis of where we are.

"You know what compounds offensive efficiency issues? The worst punting in the country. Miami was 130th in punt efficiency, which, combined with offensive woes, meant opponents’ starting field position was the 33.5, seventh-worst in the country."

lol we actually had the worst punting in the country.

We can't possibly be as bad on offense as we were last year, can we?

 

[canesupremacy]

Has there been any reports how Punter Hedley is punting on his own? I know he recently arrived after spring practice. We need him to be decent at least

The 60th rank projection for Offensive S/P+ is probably a pretty good baseline to judge Enos. I'd hope he can get us up into the 30s, which makes many of those games where we're minimally favored way less daunting.

If we can get into the 30s and keep a top 10-15 Defense overall we should hit the ACCCG with at most 1 loss.

Great on the numbers, but suggesting Harley as a key receiver and mentioning Asa Martin as seeking to be immediately eligible and being a part of the rotation lol. I love Bill C, but come on.

That's kind of nitpicking an otherwise very complete article imo.

Part of the problem I find with national pundits is they lean on the name players to summarize their pieces on the teams. Harley may be an exception to us, but he was on the field often last year for us.
So if you see an Asa Martin reference here, the Jaelan Phillips mistake in the other thread, be mindful that the national writers may not have all the info that we do.
That is all.

Dude, the guy goes in-depth on literally every single team, and provides great insight. THAT is your takeaway from the article? You're focusing on the wrong stuff.

I'm not sure what's funny about it!

Anything is possible..............except for us being as bad on offense as we were last year!

Lots of positive so far. Kicking bombs.

He's great at going in-depth on numbers. It's a valid critique for me to say that he was out of his depth talking about the roster. He so said that we were thin at DL and an injury away from relying on freshman. I love Bill C and listen to PAPN religiously. Doesn't make his work flawless. His model and rankings mean much more as the season goes on anyways, but I think it's a good starting ground for projections.

Eh, sure, but a guy like Bill C has incredible access to programs. It's really not that difficult to just fact check quickly. That's kind of what journalists are supposed to do.

 

[Trescerocinco]

If Hedley can punt with consistency and offense has a pulse we have a shot at a great season

 

[chilltill]

We can't possibly be as bad on offense as we were last year, can we?

no....... Mark Richt was playing calling was on rookie mode all season

 

[Hegemon]

Jesus Christ that guy did not do any homework to write that article.
