Elijah Roberts

[San Amaro Dr]

There's a WHOLE LOT that's not said that happens in practice. Elijah doesn't even run with bigs, he runs with linebackers and corners in practice. That should tell you something.

Great. Looking forward to seeing him play as stated, I think very highly of him.

 

[Tellitlikeitis]

All we heard during spring/Camp was Greg Rousseau. The same has not been said about Roberts. Extremely talented but let's be realistic until he puts it on film.

Fans were allowed to watch practice back then. It's closed to the public now and coaches are keeping it in house. Rightfully so. Again it's about seniority with UM

Also a valid point.

This man child ran down a **** reverse in the spring game from opposite hash

Y’all got to stop with this strongside defensive end stuff. Miami has never had a dend bigger than 265 in the diaz era. Maybe Chad thomas but that’s about it. We have athletic edges . Robert’s is a 3 technique all day and going to be a **** good one

Chad was definitely pushing 270..and RJ In some packages we used him at DE..I have no issue with Roberts playing that spot if needed. But definitely not full time

ER can **** well run…..and he looks to be in great condition. People forget he was a highly ranked recruit and I think he’s poised to really contribute this year.

Jahfari Harvey - 6'4" 252
Deandre Johnson - 6'3" 260
Cam Williams - 6'4" 240
Chantz Williams - 6'4" 255
Zach McCloud - 6'2" 254
Quentin Williams - 6'3" 280
Jabari Ishmael - 6'5" 245
Thomas Davis - 6'2" 220
Elijah Roberts - 6'4" 270

Per the current roster on MiamiHurricanes.com, that's 9 legitimate DEs for 2021. And we've lost Holley and Blissett, so that means at least one of these guys will need to play inside some.

But I do agree that it would be very nice to have a big body SDE to line up against the bigger teams like Bama. We need the versatility to go big/power or small/speed when we need to.

Mama Roberts droppin gems.

 

[TheMatador]

Most people want to look and feel good and would avoid having a gut if they can.

Yes, but if you lift heavy you can get bulky.

IHear me now and believe me later.

I thought Cam was gone, or did I miss something?

Never announced. They’re probably trying to fix it or he’s suspended til his grades are up which I hope is it.

Q Williams is already inside i believe at 280. and gaining. He is still athletic too

Standing next to nesta he looked every bit as big in that group photo.He's gotta be pushing around 300.

 

[2xbamm]

LOL.Yeah our DTs don't want to get fat.Blissett before the medical issue,Hunter,Williams,Holley,Roberts all top at 270-280 and either can't gain weight or refuse to fatten up.I can see Taylor and Haye both over 300 already blow past most of them soon.

Do you really believe this?

 

[Coach Macho]

Can somebody tell me exactly what a "strong side DE" is versus the spread offense? Where does he line-up when there's no Tight End?

Hmmmmmm

Manny has played left and right ends pretty much exclusively since he’s been here other than year 1 but it seems most don’t notice that.

Lashlee did the same with the X/Z last year too. Air raid concept.
