He didn’t have a great training camp

It's cause Diaz is using gayturd logic in his analytics. Is Lance available to help out with his calculations, cause we already know he failed 5th grade mathz?!?
 
Have you guys ever coached before?

Trust me, I'm not defending Manny at all here, but some of you are completely ridiculous when it comes to jumping to conclusions.

A lot of players show out in practice and then suck it up at game time. I was at a Heat game watching warm ups and some bench rider was hitting every shot he took and D Wade couldn't hit a shot to save his life. I was like ****, he really is past it. Then game time came and the unknown bench rider stayed unknown and D Wade was playing lights out, hit a buzzer beater in the air falling out of bounds, etc. The point is that you really never know what you're going to get, but as a coach you can only go off of what you've seen. As Rousseau started to get some reps, then he was given more, and then more and more. If he keeps it up I'm sure he will start. Calm down. That's just how some players are. Also why are we blaming Manny for everything? Yeah at the end of the day he's the one responsible, but you should be blaming position coaches for something like this.

So why does GR have to show out, while Patchan has never done much of anything to be entrenched as the starter?
 
Rosseou: fantastic games against UNC and CMU.

Manny: I can't start you against VT because of that training camp you had.


Patchan: worst DE we've seen in 3 years

Manny: I'm going to continue to start you because you got past John Campbell that one time in training camp



We've got a world class genius at head coach ladies and gents.

To you because you guys dont know what your watching. Patchman is rarely ever off on his assignment. Rousseau makes big plays but he's still getting better against the run.

Sorry, but we don't exactly drop in run D production when GR is in there. Hey, in fact, didn't GR make some pretty impressive stops in the run game last Friday night? Weird, huh? Plays that Patchan wouldn't make.

If youre saying that game performance is more important than practice, then yes you are correct. Manny disagrees with this for some reason
 
Great coaches tailor their playbook, plays, and calls towards their players strengths. GR15 will be a first rounder draft pick. Patchan is a often injured player whose been in the programs for awhile. Watching GR15 now, I dont see how it was even a debate. If he wasn't catching onto the defense, then you simplify it!

Coincidentally, it seems like the entire DL wasnt catching on as quickly. UVA is the first game we've seen consistent effort from anyone except Hill and GR15. You know what that tells me? The starters knew their jobs were safe and were in cruise control. They shook up the DL and suddenly guys are shooting upfield out of their stance.

Stroud is going to have some really talented, athletic DL coming up. Nesta, Phillips, GR15, Miller, the duo from NYC... we got dawgs! It worries me that his guys gotta get whooped in one game to get up for the next one.

While I agree with your overall premise, this is a HORRIBLE HORRIBLE example. All we heard for the past 2 offseasons was how unguardable GR15 was and how he basically has the record for the most sacks at Greentree in UM history. The staff was telling us he was averaging 2-4 sacks every time they scrimmaged or even did 7-7 work. So how is it that he didn't practice well or didn't have a good camp? This wasn't the fans making this up. This was the staff telling us how much of a sack machine he was. And now Diaz is shocked that he is doing it in actual games? Amateur hour move. Ill give him a pass though.

I remember Jimmy Johnson when he was with the Cowboys said Alvin Harper practiced like **** from Monday-Thursday and only showed up and balled out on Fridays. He was unguardable going deep. His nickname was "Friday Night Lights" because of it. You think Jimmy benched him for Alexander Wright or Kelvin Martin because he was a bad practice player? **** No. Jimmy knew when the lights came on, Harper was money in the bank. I am not saying this is the rule, but sometimes you gotta make exceptions. GR15 is the exception.

This is patently false. It's not that hard to evaluate talent. Figure out what your players' strengths are and put them in a position to succeed. Rousseau can line up anywhere on passing downs and get penetration.

You're justifying a simple case of corchism 101. Bad stubborn corches get caught up in their scheme and prioritize players who execute assignments particular to that scheme. Good coaches recognize when they have talent and let it go make plays. It's not that hard. I'm sure Patchan and others did a better job of gap discipline and had fewer mental errors in training camp and scrimmages. WHO THE **** CARES?

I thought we were past this crap when Golden and D'Onofrio left yet here we are again. And amazingly we have fans that actually support it. Unreal.

Yeah, totally, I'm sure that's *exactly* how Saban runs things :rolleyes:

In reality, that's exactly what causes the whole "south florida divas" attitude for players.

That was was Manny’s answer to why Rousseau didn’t play more early. “His talent is just starting to show out.”What are we asking of our kids in practice and why are we so slow to adjust when we see a kid has “it?” To quote the great one AI “we talkin bout practice.” This kid was a beast the moment he checked in. It was evident. And we are having him in a reserve spot because of a poor camp? I bet Zion is still starting because he had a good camp...

Personnel deployment is our staffs biggest weakens. Does 15 win us one of the games we lost? Idk, but I know for sure he would have put us in a better situation to win

He's full of it. Stuff like this is what makes people and fans lose faith in our coaching staff.
