DJ Scaife - 40 career starts and gets no respect

[rok]

Experience and Talent: Miami's 2022 OL

Can Miami's 2022 offensive line be the best from the school in the past decade?

Is this a record for a player entering a season at Miami? The man is guaranteed to start at RT in 2022.

Projected starting OL against Bethune imo:

LT Nelson - 32 career starts

LG Oluwaseun - 24 career starts

C Clark - 31 career starts

RG Campbell - 6 career starts

RT Scaife - 40 career starts

Bench: Rivers, Sagapolu, Denis, Traore, Reed, Washington

Scout team: McLaughlin, Seymore, Rodriguez, Cooper, McCoy

Starts more important than quality of play?

Ive seen enough of Scaife. Maybe Mario and Mir whip into a better player but I think he's peaked

DJ should be guaranteed nothing. For every good play of his there are equal amounts of whiffs.

I’m hoping these coaches make him into
an nfl draft pick, but there are other players on this roster to play Rodney Dangerfield over DJ

garbage OL...sorry

 

[JgDaCane]

Id have to think Rivers pushed to start.

2nd team All-ACC in 2021. He isn't perfect but has been forced to play out of position since 2019.

Reading the OP only made me angry & frustrated at how big of a bust Cleveland Reed is

 

[Silver King]

They were billed as one of the most experienced O-Lines based on starts last season, clearly not in quality.

But my goodness, we've sure waited long enough for them to mature and be what we hoped. But THEY are going to have to show its changed as a unit- I'm holding to what Coach Mirabal said; that they won't be a weakness this coming season.

LMAO at Rivers not starting

 

[Da Jumbo Mutombo]

Your starting Guards are way off.

 

[MiamiBusiness]

My best guess as of now is Zion, Rivers, Clark, Sagapolu and Scaife. Campbell is the wild card IMO.

Cannot confirm but I think Crisco wants him at tackle pushing Nelson and Scaife based on his limited action in the spring game.

Legit had high hopes for him.

Scaife at guard got abused at times, but I’d rather him there than RT.

But the guards in the OP are definitely off. I lean more with what DBJ predicted in the Barry Jackson thread.

 

[E1k]

Oline is mid ill say that first lol

Think starters will be

Zion
Rivers
Clark
Sagupolo
Jcamp/Scaife

Starts ≠ quality

During the previous regime, a lot of guys started off Seniority a lone. A lot of younger guys, who were better, only got looks due to an injury or a suspension. No one’s job should be safe, including Scaife’s who’s been a massive disappointment. Maybe w better coaching & S/C the light bulb will come on, but as of now, no one’s job should be automatic based upon starts/seniority.

I agree but I think scaife has been solid, i dont think he was starting because of seniority i think its more he’s just the better option from our depth

I think when the line got shuffled & he moved to guard, he graded much better than when he was placed at tackle. His position is guard. I’m just saying nothing should be penciled in after these last 4 yrs. If he’s earned the right to start based upon camp/practice, let’s roll.

I would also add that we are seeing a very nice grassy field there...

The problem is he doesn’t really have a position. He’s built like a guard but gets bullied inside. Plays better outside but lacks true length and tackle feet. Solid college player but he’s truly a tweener on the oline. He’s played well at times and not well at times. He’s just been better than other failed recruitments and/or developments on previous rosters, hence the starts.
