Did any media ask or did Diaz address why walk-on Ragone was in the game when UVA was in our redzone?

Fuq this staph
.imagine when our roster is mostly those types in three years....yikes

This isn't Manny's fault. The guy who was in charge of the defense on the previous staff was a terrible recruiter who let the LB depth go to ****. Oh wait....

 

[SWFLHurricane]

I had Ziti Ragone last night that was simply divine...

 

[MainLineCane]

What kind of moronic logic is that? So because the kid just happened to not fvck up and allow a TD, we should be fine with a 3rd string walk on coming in during crunch time.

If the Pats are down by 6. 2 seconds left at the 40 yard line and the coach decides to take Brady out and put Josh Gordon in at QB and he just happens to throw a TD pass. Does that mean it was a wise decision?

Hmmmmm

Let me get back to you on that one

 

[Salt]

I think it’s obvious we have some depth issues at lb. Someone’s number has to be called out there. Hard to fault anything the defense did that night regardless who played. They essentially won the game.

My favorite was the Mr. Belvedere theme song.

This is at least 4th game he has played in. Has recorded several tackles. Believe he is listed as a striker

Bad example, as you know that move would get Belichick hailed as a genius.

 

[OrangeBowlMagic]

I got laughed off the board in camp for having the audacity to suggest there are serious LB depth concerns.

But yeah, you definitely want a walk-on LB in the game in the 4th quarter of a must-win football game.

1. McCloud = redshirt
2. Joyner = injured
3. Jennings = injured
4. Huff = academic redshirt

Now, god forbid, imagine if 55 or 56 go down for any significant amount of time? Goodnight.

He’s played in 3 games at the Striker position. Guys need breathers and maybe he does a good job in practice. Sorry you think our coaches should be checking scholarship statuses on the sideline. If we have 3 strikers all of them will get on the field. If the coaches think he can get the job done fine. In three games we have no reason to think he can’t. Sorry you’re running out of things to complain about. You’ll have a new Saturday soon

No need to ask him. The answer is obvious.
We only have two healthy backup LB’s. One is Brooks and the other is McCloud.

Brooks is a MLB and Pink got hurt so Brooks couldn’t replace because he doesn’t play that position. His normal backup McCloud is redshirting so the only available option was the walk on.

Incredible how people don't realize the lack of depth on this team—yet scream that Miami should be so much better than it is in the midst of this 15 year lull.

When you're playing walk-ons in goal line situations, while still robbing the Transfer Portal and leaning on grad transfers—news flash, you're nowhere near contender level.

 

[HighSeas]

darn I missed it

 

[PanamaCityCanes]

People are acting like we replaced Tom Brady with Josh Gordon. If the guy understands his role and can make a play, who cares if he has a scholarship or not? I mean, we have a scholarship kicker and no one wants to see him anywhere near the field.

Ideally they should be checking scholarship statuses in the offseason so they don't need to play walk-ons in games.

So that leaves the option of throwing a 3-star true freshman into the game.

Or recruit better so those aren't the two options.

I was going by your words, which were really just a cute jab at the staff. Rational people know that you can't fix a position weakness in one offseason.

Why should anyone give a **** if he's a walk on? Can he play is all. Jesus, have we forgotten the placekicker move that happened IN THE SAME GAME?

Why is there a position weakness to begin with?
