Congratulations Gerald Willis -- 2nd Team All-ACC

[Unsider]

We've become the Rodney Dangerfield of college football. What an absolute ***ing joke. GW is 1st team - EOS

That’s because of all the bogus hires we have made in coaching. Change must start now, this off season, or be prepared to be the program that’s lives on Preparation-H, year in, year out, decade in, decade out.

 

[sitzee]

Freakin Highway Robbery!!!
Dexter Lawrence over Willis???? Willis almost DOUBLED Lawrence's production across the Board

 

[simplycanes]

Seriously, why did the ACC even bother bringing us into their conference?

 

[HighSeas]

Those Clemson DTs are all hype. Happens all the time in CFB to be honest. Glenn Dorsey was the first I noticed. Any time he was in the frame the broadcast would slobber all over him. Dude got Sapp comparisons. Then he was exposed as a JAG in the NFL.

Winning matters.

You could make an argument for Brevin being first team as well.

It matters who you get drafted as well! Not in all cases but a lot of the time it does.

 

[gogeta4]

It’s him or quinnen Williams from bama for the top dt in the country and it’s not close after that

Miss State dt is better than anything at Bama

Forget Gerald. Jaquan is 2nd team??? I want a recount.

Voter fraud

 

[TheMatador]

i thought feagles deserved at least an honorable mention

Yeah. Figgles among the specialists. Missed him.

 

[TheMatador]

Voter fraud

Voter suppression, for sure...and we didn't even get to have our illegals vote. Like all the Greeks. They're too busy tailgating on campus and didn't even bother to vote.

 

[avicenna75]

Wilkins & Lawrence combined for 17.5 TFL.... Willis had 18 ALONE. Unbelievable.

 

[TheMatador]

Our forces march on Greensboro tonight.

This outrage shall not go unaddressed by King Swofford.

That must be the cartoon world's alt-right.

This is the politics of college sports. Willis outplayed Clemson DT Dexter Lawrence who had 31 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, 0.5 sacks, and 1 interception.

Willis had 59 tackles, league leading 18 tackles for loss, and 4 sacks.

The productivity is not even close.

Let's not forget, Clemson also has Clelin Ferrel who had 42 tackles, 16 tackles for loss, and 10.5 sacks.

So while Willis is seeing double teams, Dexter Lawrence has another first rounder on the other side giving them both 1 on 1 opportunities.

This is the Clemson hype and darling off the ACC. The bottom line, Miami has been better or equal to Clemson's defensive team as our LBs and secondary are better than Clemson's.

Clemson's defense gave up on average 198 yards passing and 92 yards rushing while Miami's defense averaged 141 passing and 127 rushing. In total Clemson gave up 290 per game while Miami gave up 268 per game. That's an amazing stat given how much more Miami's defense is on the field given our lackluster offense.

Have a glimpse into a voter mentality!! Good old Tobacco Road boys.....

"Wilkins and Lawrence are both dominant — I don’t care that Lawrence has lesser stats than the DTs on the second-team. Watching Lawrence in person showed me that every linebacker Clemson has is able to move freely in large part — intended — because of Lawrence the attention he commands "

 

[reg]

They truly f'ucked over Gerald.
Fact: He had more tfl's than the other two, combined.

Wilkins- 43 tackles, 12 for loss and 4.5 sacks.

Lawrence- 31 tackles, 4.5 for loss and 0.5 sacks.

Willis- 59 tackles, 18 for loss and four sacks.

 

[TheRichtShow]

GET OUT OF THE ACC RICHT YOU USELESS SACK OF LARD THAT WAS THE TOP LAYER OF THE POTTED MEAT CAN I JUST OPENED

i can't believe we have such a useless arrogant coach, fck my life fck everything this idiot doesn't do anything right not a single fcking thing

The **** does Richt have to do with being in the ACC? Was that his decision?

You are right though, your life is ******* pathetic

 

[Canesfan1899]

Ain’t that some ****. Joe Jax honorable mention da ****

 

[Empirical Cane]

That must be the cartoon world's alt-right.

Nah. Just snowflakes upset about no puppies or coloring books in their safe space.

 

[moshated305]

Only reason G-Willis is 2nd team is because we're 7-5 and Clemson is undefeated with 2 DTs that will also likely go in the 1st round. I doubt Willis falls past the 2nd. Garvin didn't make the list given he's only got 5.5 sacks on the year; he's a talent, but he just didn't get to the QB enough. Burns over Jackson is because he passed Jackson in all stats (8.5 sacks to 10). But Joe Jackson not being on any of the lists is the weirdest thing I've seen. Should've at least been 3rd team.

Dexter Lawrence had 5 tackles for loss all season. I get he's not there to create havoc but how do you not reward the guy who led the conference in tackles for loss? Put Lawrence on Miami instead of Clemson and tell me he still makes it first team. He wouldn't. He's probably not even honorable mention.

You're asking logical questions that I don't have the answers for. I feel that the voters were lazy and just went with the popular names instead of looking at actual film and stats.

Honorable mention Joe Jackson lmao... Shaq made it over GIII interesting.
