yeah lets blame him not lashlee
I don’t agree. We’ll see next fall.He is the best blocker but it's pretty close between several of them. But he's also basic with the ball in his hands whether it's running or recieving. The best reciever out of them and it's not close is rooster and he'll be used heavily in that role. And yes he will play some. But the 3 I mentioned will get far more burn than anyone else. I'm talking about the 3 who will consistently see the field if healthy. It's not an opinion either.
You're comparing apples to oranges. The only one who had similar amounts of carries was cam. Thad and Chaney were very limited in carries. I get the case you're trying to make. I agree he needs to work some on keeping his eyes open and being decisive in picking his holes. The entire emphasis of the previous staff was pick your hole and explode. Problem is when you have lil to no rushing lanes you question yourself repeatedly & start to lose confidence. Why don't you wait to see how he looks this year before you label him a project. But hey, do you.It isn't all on Knighton, but a majority of it is on Knighton. OL is part of the problem, but his running style/decision making is a larger part of the problem.
Cam, Chaney, Thad - each put up better rushing stats than Knighton behind the same OL. The reason isn't the OL. They've simply been better at running.
I broke down with screenshots what Knighton needs to work on completely separate from OL play a couple weeks ago in this thread:

Fair enough. But if you wanna do all of that and intellect isn't the issue(which it doesn't at all seem to be than you also have to apply a lil math and logic into this equation as well... You're staying as what appears to be the emphasis to ur argument the fact he only averaged 3.9 ypc opposed to Thad,and Chaney and cam who did so much better. My question for u then is at what point do you factor in he had more than double the carries cam had, more than 7x the carries Thad had & **** near 15x the carries that Chaney had... You don't figure that lil tid bit might factor into what someone averaged per carry? Or is your thought that Thad would have 150 carries and keep averaging 7.5 yards per carry or the same for anyone else? Obviously you know rooster had carries that weren't for 4 yards a clip. You seem to be on point for the most part so all id say is if you're gonna do these in depth breakdowns than just be better. Cause kids read this and families read this. Believe it or not no one likes unfair criticism...I didn't know - and I'm not attacking him, or saying I know more, or trying to say Knighton sucks. Did you look at the thread?
I'm saying let's look at the bigger picture and ask these questions:
1) What are the odds the OL was the worst it's been in 25 years, to the point where Knighton averaged a half yard less than any other leading Miami rusher?
2) What are the odds that as a Sophomore, Knighton was the finished product and doesn't have anything in his game to improve on?
3) If in the last 2 years - Cam avgs 5.2 ypc, Chaney 4.6, Thad 7.5, Brown 4.1, Knighton 3.9 - what are the odds it's 100% on the OL that Knighton is the lowest?
The odds are pretty slim for each, right? That's the bigger picture.
For the details - I'd say keep an open mind, read the thread & screenshots, and see if you think what I'm pointing out about Knighton has some validity.

And that is perfectly fine. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. I'm simply telling you things as it's being projected now. It's not like it can't change. I hope you're right. Because that means he'll be stepping up. Which is all I care about. How we play on game day.I don’t agree. We’ll see next fall.
Stay sleeping on Parrish
I guess you think I'm ****ting on him or something. That's fine too if you'd like to feel that way. Do you know what running backs have been practicing healthy throughout camp?
Thad looks like a grown man. He said in his presser that he is 238 and hoping to get down to 225-230 for the season. That is a large running back, especially for the footwork he has.Thad going no where .. will get killed here by saying this but he might be RB1 this whole season..…he is good

Take out the Central Connecticut State and App State game and Cam Harris had 43 carries for 218 yards or 5.07y/c and 2 Tds (4.65 TD%). With all his games he had 71 attempts for 409 yards or 5.8 y/c and 5 tds (7.04 TD%). ... of course if we actually looked even deeper we'd probably see that like half Cam's yards came on like 4 of his runs...Fair enough.

Yeah I wasn't even gonna get into the breakdown of actual competition opposed to YMCA. To me that was even more of a case of why he really didn't think that argument through. We gotta be careful with these analytical breakdowns. Far too logical for on here.Take out the Central Connecticut State and App State game and Cam Harris had 43 carries for 218 yards or 5.07y/c and 2 Tds (4.65 TD%). With all his games he had 71 attempts for 409 yards or 5.8 y/c and 5 tds (7.04 TD%). ... of course if we actually looked even deeper we'd probably see that like half Cam's yards came on like 4 of his runs...
Jaylan knighton in his 4-game run of UNC - NCSt - Pitt - GTech had 87 carries for 417 yards or 4.8y/c and 5 Tds (5.75 TD%). Fun fact: Those 4 games were the 4 games Knighton had the most carries. So clearly compared to Cam Harris' season after you take out the non-p5 Knighton was just straight up as good or better once you include TDs during this 4 game stretch. And this was with double the carries...
Now Idk if Knighton was hurt during his final 3 games (right after that 4 game stretch of him playing very well), but there was a very clear difference. He then had 43 carries for 100 yards or 2.3ypc and 3 Tds (6.8 TD%).
Thad Franklin had like half his yards in that Central Connecticut game as well. remove that game and he had 16 carries for 84 yards or 5.25y/c and 1 Td (6.5 TD%). Which is better averages than Cam harris, but like Cam played bama and MSU at least.... I mean 16 carries for 84 yards and a tD is like solid for 1 game - Knighton against UNC had 17 carries for 92 yards and 2 TDs (and another TD receiving), so if you just took that one game Knighton had a great year!... So yeah, comparing a guy with 145 carries to a guy with like 16 that matter, isn't a good idea...
Here's where I think we agree and differ on some things - and it's all good, just different ways of looking at it. No right or wrong.Fair enough.

Our running game under Mario should be Knighton day from what we saw under the failed manny regime.Solid. I give it an 8.2
It may take a village to raise a child but it takes a Parrish to establish an elite running game.
