Flagg is not hurt

Familiarity I believe really helps the 'heady' kids, in practice particularly. Familiarity with drills and with the offense helps with anticipation and reaction - a big part of a 'thinking man's' game. Familiarity also helps in games when they see something they've seen on film. But then there are times a play comes that they haven't seen. And of course, even with anticipation there are times when athletic limitations keep one from being able to make a play.
I imagine once the real bullets fly and the player falls short the coaches give some leeway because, after all, they seen the kid make the play in practice a million times. And he's a 'leader', who helps everyone get lined up. Yeah, poses a dilemma as to when to pull the plug and get the more talented player on the field.

Well, when he lead the team in tackles AGAIN, this year I'll be waiting to taste your tears.

Crazy how a player so slow and unathletic can lead the team in tackles. What's that say about the other players yall keep putting in front of him!?

Tears? Ya boys be on some other ****, What I stated was facts, he is slow.. We will see how season plays out, will rout for all these boys to ball out regardless, I dont think dude is a UM level talent.. Nothing wrong with stating that on a message board where everyone share their opinion.

Bruh. Linebacker is a cerebral position. You don't need to be a top end athlete like a cornerback.

Plenty of slow successful Middle backers mane. You act like the league been full of Mike backers running sub 4.4 40s or some ****

You are not wrong, but what you'd find in a film review is that these successful slower linebackers (listen, there are exceptions for sure) are in a scheme where they aren't asked to do something where their lack of speed is exposed...for example like having that slow MF'r running sideline to sideline...they might keep'em in the box and when in coverage, just play straight back or some hook zones. And even then, those slow MF'rs might get exposed here n there by some dynamic offensive players (the play of Josey Jewell getting his ankles broke by Saquon Barkley always comes to mind as the example of this).

Didn’t matter which player got to him….could have been a lineman, a RB or a WR- once they engaged, it was over- he was out of the play. It was not just his speed, it was also his strength and toughness. No idea why this guy is getting more benefit of the doubt than any player we have ever had. Its weird.

And as far as Strong singing him praises. I watched that interview with Strong and think it is being overplayed. Flagg was the other scheduled interview that day and so as has been the routine, the interview asked the coach a softball question about the player he was about to interview. I do not think there is anything more to this than coach speak.

That's what I BEEN saying about the Backers in Manny scheme for YEARS.

You can't ask a guy like Flagg or Quarterman even, to be the force defender in 30 yards of open space against elite level quickness.

That's unfair and something even the fastest backers are rarely asked to do with a competent DC.

Let that man play within the tackle box like a Brandon Spikes or Dunta Hightower and you won't even notice his lack of speed.

If you can’t see the massive talent disparity between Clemson’s LB and Corey Flagg then you need professional help my friend. Most teams in the **** ACC have two MLBs better than Flagg

“You don’t need…” yes you do if you want to compete with Clemson, bama, UGA, taint

This is comedic af to me... cause how did the young man lead the team in tackles if he's just an 8 year old in a man's body getting bullied by slot receivers and long snappers 🤣🤣🤣🤣
 
He was a step too slow last year… both physically and mentally. Unfortunately I saw much of the same in spring game from him.

He’s a great young man. Great locker room guy. Hope he continues to develop but based on his tape he Doesn’t belong in the 2 deep at the university of miami. This year is another chance to change that tune though

Leading the statistically worst tackling team in the country in tackles isn’t exactly an accomplishment. MLBs naturally rack up more tackles than any other position on defense anyway genius.


But go ahead and keeping defending this guy. You look ridiculous
