Expected Impact for Francisco Mauigoa??

[Yoyo82]

I’m wondering if he’s still here post spring

Per a poster on here, Flagg was ok being a backup last year. He was forced into playing because nobody else could replace him.

Let him graduate then come on as a grad assistant.

An actual difference maker on the 2nd level and a noticeable improvement. He has the size, speed, and coverage ability that won’t put us in a disadvantage vs RBs/TE’s more times than not like we have been accustomed to since Shaq left.

To a degree, si.

However, Jaquan wouldn't have fixed all the missed tackles by each defender in back half of defense.

Some games it was almost on purpose it seemed. Benny Hill skit. Keystone cops futile.

The D needs Mauigoa and Bissainthe to step up and stay healthy.

Not even great, but consistent LB play has been missing the last few years.

 

[dolpterry]

Flagg gives what he has on the field. Cannot bash him for not having all the talent in the world. He gives 100%

Flagg not only gives his all he is also 1 of the few players to really no the playbook and where to be at all times

 

[BS85]

I see nothing wrong with Flagg being a quality backup to Mauigua. And bring Popo along to eventually take over as backup as the season goes on.

I'm fine with him being a backup to the backup

 

[JOE'CANE]

Will we be running with 2 LBs and 5 DBs as a base defense? Hope so.

Williams and Smith at that 3rd hybrid spot

 

[Supacane954]

Where do we think Chase smith plays outside of the medical tent ?

 

[407cane]

Over flagg?! Returning starters rarely have been benched at miami in recent history.. THAT would show actual change

you really think mauigoa came here to sit behind flagg and that anything in the past that has happened has any actual bearing on that decision?

I get your point but it's just factual that mauigoa is on a different level than caleb johnson

caleb johnson was an average starter, Mauigoa was arguably top 2 in the PAC 12

I'm pretty sure Caleb Johnson also lost his starting spot or started to lose snaps atleast at UCLA as well.

Day 1 starter with meaningful positive impact to LB room?

 

[pyhooya]

I suspect there is a very fine line between Little Manuela and Guidry's D.

I'd offer Diaz's D is indistinguishable from Guidry's if Little Manuela's units didn't miss 50 tackles per game.

Good example is all the whiffs against Mich St. They make even 50% of what they missed and Miami maybe wins that game.

Guidry's D tackles better past LoS than Diaz's futility. In fact, it is a critical component of the philosophy.

Well hopefully Guidrys D is not like mannys d. gimmicky and can only stop lesser talented teams

 

[DTP]

Another year, another transfer linebacker who’s going to “take Flagg’s job”. Let’s hope this guy plays a lot better than the dude we got from UCLA last year that did nothing but miss tackles when he wasn’t on the bench. Flagg is a good role player type but we really need an impact player at MLB. I really like what we saw from Bisanthe late last year.

Emotionally prepare yourself.

 

[Odysseus]

He makes impact immediately

 

[Maskoff407]

Agreed. How long before Thomas Davis is moved to MLB behind Francisco.

 

[miamimike305]

Starting next to Bissanthe all year long lol. Flagg can come in during mop up duty.

To mop up the locker room?
