Goodbye Rooster

[ThomasM]

Not Jaylan's best decision.

This O sucks. NO ONE wants to play in this O. I wouldn't send my son to UM to play in this garbage system. As much as I love Miami, I love my kid more, and would want what is best for him.

I will search for it. Aside from King I bet he was most explosive on the team.

That's not what the argument was tho.....

Good luck to the Rooster. He will be targeted with strip attempts wherever he goes. Got to secure the ball with both hands going forward until he can get more positive film in the can.

RB room needs to add some serious talent. Need a new, highly talented OC fast. We need to absolutely crush it in the Portal (and get someone talented in the '23 class).

Yeah, and I do undertand that. I'm not unsympathetic.

Having said that, if TVD and Garcia can have some confidence that the O will be changing, I don't think it's that much of a stretch for Jaylan to come to the same conclusion. Lord knows, UM has been patient with him through multiple disciplinary situations, not to mention the fumbles. I'd love to see him stick it out for another year and try to get some payoff for all the hard times.

Maybe the QBs are getting paid better to stay.

Crazy how most people recognize we have a talent issue on offense while also being shocked/upset at these guys leaving during a roster purge.

That’s just wrong. Very, very funny. But wrong. Lol.

If you need your offensive line to do the heavy lifting for a RB, then the RB sucks. RBs need to make plays on their own.

This is from 2021...click the link Good Brother @OrangeBowlMagic posted this and it should have forever changed people's minds on Knighton. It didn't matter if he had good blocking or bad blocking, he was not good under Lashlee AT ALL.

This is why Parrish and Franklin have a great opportunity

We've had a sub par run blocking line for a while now and some guys were able to be produce somewhat while others didn't. Anybody can be a good running back when you're just running through huge holes. The difference between great backs and average backs is the ability to produce even when the...

Good Brother @bshaw28 has done some good work on Knighton in the past and I don't want to bite his work, but welcome him to post his data points, all of which support he's not that good. But, to be fair, he was playing his best football late this season, despite still having a legit fumbling problem.

Amen @BoxingRobes

Knighton is a straight line 190 lb power runner. He has a running style that simply doesn't match his body type.

For all the "he was misused" and the "OL sucked" comments, I ask you - what exactly are you supposed to do with a 190 lb Fullback?

I didn't want Knighton to transfer, but I wish him the best. I said earlier this year - go G5 if you want to be an every down RB. At P5 schools he's a pass catching/change of pace RB, and I wouldn't expect his role or results to be much diffrent than they were here.

 

[Home Slice]

Hate to see him leave tbh, but I absolutely understand why he'd want to get out of Gattistown

 

[Hufftwoseven]

That's not what the argument was tho.....

Bro argument was that he was explosive and people happy he’s leaving. He produced he wasn’t perfect but we lose plenty of games without his big plays

If you make me look bad you gotta go

I hear you.... I definitely wouldn't say I'm happy he's leaving.

 

[canesupremacy]

I expect him to fumble the transfer pool

As I’ve said in this thread. Regardless of Rooster as an every down back or perfect back or whatever, we now have 3 TOTAL backs lol zero committed from Hs. All were injuries last year with 2 out the whole year. Mario did well in portal with Mesidor and Jackson but everyone else was a role player. What makes us think we’re going to get 3 more RBs that are studs or ready for next year?? Is Fletcher? Idk about that don’t count on a true freshman. Let’s not even go into Gattis is still here so there’s less time for us to swing at portal studs on offense because no one should give Mario the time of day to pitch about coming and producing on offense..

But people just taking shots at rooster not realizing what an alarming problem this is for our roster

 

[fresssh]

Can be a **** of a player with the right coach.

 

[PIPO]

Would have liked him to stay ... at least until a new OC was announced. Could have been dynamic if he was schemed open to catch in space.

He could be waiting for 3 months for an OC

 

[gogeta4]

no inside info but if he goes to FSU, i hope everyone in here apologizes to certain extent for wanting him gone. i hope he goes OOC so we dont have to play him

Hope he goes to FSU...everybody says he sucks right and have fumbling issues?. He actually fits their run blocking scheme

Probably already mentioned: read title as "Goodbye Roster".

Don't count me in the "everybody" camp please. He does have fumbling issues. But he does not suck, not by a long shot. Criminally misused in my opinion.
