ALWAYS appreciate your analysis and takes...with that said, a few points...
-- Unless Miami replaces entire OL unit w/ "KJ quality" grad transfers, uptempo is best way to mitigate glaring weaknesses
-- QB is forced to throw ball under 1 sec (ok..being silly) because OL provides no push/protection on consistent basis
-- More plays Miami O runs, less plays Miami D defends
-- I've been saying for years Canes are built like Manning's Colts (minus a productive O)
-- He has no other choice, defenders too often reached QBs as fast as they could run
-- Perhaps putting QB in shotgun 20yds behind LOS will buy time behind putrid OL unit?
-- Without dramatic change, Miami's OL could have a 15 sack game next year
-- Lashlee thinks (as he should) that he can fix the problem through coaching
-- Soon after he arrives, he will realize only full OL replacement will solve the OL issues
-- Appears Williams and Perry can't process that fast
-- Matocha the interim answer? Grad transfer? TVD?
-- Miami's OL simply can't do either on consistent basis
-- Even more strongly disagree if you think SMUs OL unit play isn't significantly better than Miami's
-- Atheletes? Majority blame. Coaching? Minority blame.
-- My guess is OL unit shows no improvement, nut ball gets out quicker so hopefully less sacks (risk of Pick 6 elevates though)
-- As an OL unit, they played good enough to put up the stats they did
-- Miami wishes they could have done half of what SMU accomplished this past season
-- Performed as a unit significantly better than anything Miami's has done since 2002
-- Miami's QB will do so out of necessity and sheer terror
-- I think he would challenge for #1 slot
- Because of separation, not system
-- That is in every OC's job description
-- Exactly what a team built like the Pony's should do
-- Spread O run/pass blocking schemes are supposed to be identical to further confuse D
-- Helps undersized OL perform as whole sum greater than individual parts
As before "In Lashlee We Trust" until OL gives up sacks, can't push for runs, and WRs get no separation. Those aren't system problems, those are athlete fails.
I'm guardedly optimistic Miami can get 4-6 Ws with Rhett, but don't expect more until proven otherwise.
