Canes @ Southern Methodist - 11/1/25

[PennsylvaniaCane]

Smu has the 133rd ranked pass defense - we have 1st and goal from the 7 and we throw the ball 3 times and we can’t convert.

Dawson ain’t it

2 TE condensed sets running everyone into the same space being covered by LBs.

 

[YLCANE]

I’d be breaking g **** but I know meathead Mario won’t fix a ******* thing
Same ****
His process is broke
Nothing improves
Standard is bull****

It’s all talk but no results

 

[TheATLCane]

8 penalties is inexcusable from Mario and particularly Mirabel's OL

 

[STG]

How the **** this team gets worse every daaamn week

You ever follow Mario's career? This is what his teams do.

 

[FL Cane]

or Lofton just could hang onto the TD

Seriously. Dawson hasn't called a bad game. Our guys just keep self destructing.

 

[KingB02]

Had 1v1 at the top with our 6’4 WR and put him in a trash route! It was perfect for a fade route! Smh

 

[Jonnyblaze]

We might be seeing why Dawson was keeping it on the ground and running inside all this time. Passing game is a comedy of errors.

 

[ssvir]

He is not a full time tight end. More of a Deebo Samuel type guy who is a utility knife. If he was used correctly I think he would be much more effective

He's a fat and slow. Nothing like Debo

 

[jtwist89]

I’m done with Dawson. He’s great with a #1 overall draft pick QB. But who isn’t?

 

[AUcane]

He is not a full time tight end. More of a Deebo Samuel type guy who is a utility knife. If he was used correctly I think he would be much more effective

Eh, he’s limited physically so he’s only good for in the box plays.

 

[Tru C]

Penalties and drops are putting us in situations where we clearly need to pass

No! Many of those penalties have come AFTER he runs for 4-5 yards and then try to throw it. If Fletch runs for a first down then give it back to him. They have shown no interest in tackling him

 

[smack99]

He is not a full time tight end. More of a Deebo Samuel type guy who is a utility knife. If he was used correctly I think he would be much more effective

Well his *** can head elsewhere to get used “correctly”

 

[Brains]

JFC this offense has too many issues. Dawson’s fumbled this talent.

Dawson is apparently responsible for Trader and Lofton's ****ups.

This fanbase is incredible.

 

[canemachine]

I disagree he looks Lazer focused, he is having a really good half.

The look of a winner. We've had too much indifference around here. We need people it means something to.

 

[MarkyMark]

**** off **** - we haven't been relevant in 20 years but a complete moron asshat wants the coach that is in year 4 and has us in the top 10 two years in a row with top recruiting classes and portal classes.

MIAMI doesn't need losers like you on the bandwagon

You are part of the problem - Miami needs a real coach not Al Golden 2.0. Check the records before you respond.

 

[cway313]

This doesn't feel good to watch.

 

[ewcanes]

Oh c'mon he got lit the **** up.

Pathetically weak, he’s a big TE, it’s his job to catch the ball and take that hit.

 

[mossmadness]

Lofton ******* sucks @DMoney

Crazy the degree he has hyped up a glorified FB in 2025 because that one team in the NFL uses one.

I said from the day we got a commit from Lofton: it’s a bad sign for the offense Mario wants to run going forward. And I stand by that today.

 

[PennsylvaniaCane]

The key play was on 1st down Carson passing up the slant that was open and instead threw a fade to Toney.

Obviously Lofton has to make that TD catch.

An ***** of an offense.

No way are Schott and Gilbert any more of a step down than Bauman and Lofton.

 

[RadioRahim]

The defense has mostly played well. The O has been lacking in terms of scheme, but honestly feel like this has been more on the players just not making plays and boneheaded mistakes. Coaching can't correct for players dropping balls, mental mistakes, and unforced penalties. Though proper prep during the week obviously plays a role.
