What Texas team did you watch? They were near the bottom of the nation in rushing as expected due to the injuries. So the not missing a beat is an inspector gadget reach. Their defense carried them because Ewers couldn’t play QB for the Pike frat flag football intramural team at Miami.
They were 63rd in the nation and still ran for nearly 3k with all those RB’s out. Mind you, that’s in the SEC. If you think we can do that with 3 of our top backs out for the season then i can’t help you.
Phillips got juicy upon his return, Lightfoot has stayed Littlefoot
He may be referring to speed. Outside of Marion and Lyle, no one on offense is really a burner 4.3-4.4 or twitchy take it to the house if they have a crease guy.
We don’t have depth at QB, that’s for sure
Serious question to the group because I feel like I’m missing something and others know more than I do…
I take practice reporting very lightly, especially spring with young players. I like jojo and toney as prospects but if the expectation are playoffs/winning the conference then no, im not fully believing a room that the potential stars have never played full starter snaps
We should be tired of throwing the safe sure handed returner out there. It's time to get back to real Miami football and be able to change games on returns. We have been a just catch the kick operation for years. Where is the juice?
Questionable safety AND linebacker play
Thanks for responding. I figured that was the case but, like I said, just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something.
Context matters...who did they rush on in the SEC? They literally played the bottom half of the SEC except Georgia and they had 67 yards.
I think we wanted/needed a "sure thing" outside WR to pair with Daniels and Trader, and we absolutely missed on one. It's not a question about our current talent, it's an issue with how young that talent is and the lack of numbers. Point blank we are going into this season where yeah we COULD be excellent talent wise if Trader, Toney, Daniels perform like we all feel they have the ability to combined with if we get Josh Moore, Carr, and Marrion to all play well (and like they have the clear talent to), then yeah things could be absolutely great. But there obviously should be some caution that we are going into this season with so much youth at the position. That's really all there is to it. And if one of Daniels or Trader are injured the numbers becomes a real issue, particularly on the outside. I have basically no real issue or concern about the slot position tbh. Because I believe that Trader and Toney should be the primary slot WRs. Like I think Toney should probably be expected to maybe get 50% of the slot snaps I guess if he's really that good as a true frosh. But the remaining imo should be like Daniels and Marrion outside and Trader in the slot a lot. Sometimes Lofton will be in slot. Sometimes we will have Carr/Upshaw. I'm not a fan of Ray Ray, but he'll be able to contribute some I guess. And then worst case the older transfer Johnson should be a high floor baseline.... So really slot should have very little concern tbh.
