**** Sam Bruce is built like a tank. He has a NFL body already

 

[LuCane]

The detail of the position coaches has already been evident at this early stage. If he can just stay healthy, Coley is going to thank everyone for returning. He's shown things at the LOS that I hadn't previously seen from him. He really looks clean and will be a huge problem for anyone placed in front of him. We can discuss some of the details of how I envision Richt getting him open and clearing space as the season goes on.

While not a "WR," I think we're going to see everything we hoped for out of Njoku. He'll be used in the slot, in combination with Herndon and should dominate at the edges and in between the wide hashes. You combine him with Kaaya's almost weird accuracy and we'll see a lot of 12-15 yard in routes, Gronkowski-like quick outs and ins from the slot and seam routes.

Couldn't be more excited to watch both of those guys play. They're likely both in the NFL next year.

Lu, the people who are thinking we'll be lucky to win 8 games aren't putting enough stock in how dominant Kaaya will be with Richt calling plays combined with his freakish accuracy and our extraordinary pass catching talent in Coley, Berrios, Richards, Harris, Njoku, Herndon, Yearby and Walton. That pass offense should be practically unstoppable.

I definitely see with Richt at the helm, we will be a force to be reckoned with, Chise!! I can't wait

You are forgetting about the O-line. That will be the great equalizer for other teams. Miami's line is going to be a huge weak spot.

Doubt it, everyone on the line has started more than 12 games. They were very young last year and have matured physically and mentally. Coach searels appears to have brought a great change about the unit. Having Nick Linder and sunny Odogwu back healthy in the fall really solidified the starting group.

Also, with Techmo Coley calling plays, how would ANY line look good? A better play caller will make an average line look good. A bad play caller can make an average line look horrible.

I was going to post this in the TE thread, but Richt has to be absolutely giddy as a play caller with the versatility he's going to have when they get down near the redzone. You have 3 TE's that can play multiple positions on the field at the same time without limiting your play calling. When most teams line up 3 TE's on the field, it's power running game. But imagine the play calling flexibility Richt can have while splitting Njoku out wide at WR, Standish at TE and Herndon at H-back. You can motion Njoku down and go power-I running, or play action with Herndon slipping into the flats. You can flex Herndon out and go single back, or even motion Walton out of the backfield and go no back while still crrating mismatches and space. You can go trips with Coley, Herndon and Njoku, while still being able to run the ball, throw a WR screen or match up Njoku or Herndon on a CB or a WR on a LBer. There's absolutely no reason for this team not to be vastly improved in the redzone, with a competent play caller, what should be an improved OL and Kaaya's ability to read defenses and make quick decisions. That flexibility and lack of predictability should help the OL as well. ****, I'm excited to just watch this **** unfold, I'd be walking around with a raging boner if I was the one calling plays.

Every time Richt talks to the media he sounds almost c0cky. It took him a little while to get his sea legs back as a playcaller, but he's walking around with 3 legs lately.

Look at Kaaya's numbers in these scrimmages. They're absurd. That's not a fluke. He's poised to kill. Those TEs pose all kinds of additional problems for defenses.

I can't wait to watch this offense. Richt has had some incredible success over the years coaching QBs.

Miami may still be a recruiting class or two from accumulating the type of depth you need to be at the upper, upper echelon but it's top-end, front line talent is very good. This was not a rebuilding job Richt took over and he knows this 9 months into this job. Anything less than 10 wins this season( barring any catastrophic injuries - which again, can happen to any team) will be a buzzkill

How could you possibly forget to mention the best player on the team in your analysis of Kaaya's potential targets this year? The Samborghini will soon remind you why he is peerless.

Exactly. Richt has a ridiculous amount of success as a playcaller, and we've seen it first hand. Now he has one of the best QBs in the NCAA as his on-field general, behind an OL running a scheme more suited to their strengths and that is now physically up to par due to improved S&C...then you have freak-level TEs, a solid group of WRs, including a true #1 and diverse range of skills in the guys behind him. On top of all that, if everything is covered, there are two excellent receiving threats out of the backfield in Yearby and Walton. If this unit stays healthy, it will put up some stupid numbers.

My thoughts exactly. I think people forget that these kids finally have good competent coaching after 15 years of clowns running the show. Just thinking about all of the weapons you listed to go along with a Heisman contender QB with freakish accuracy and an experienced and elite QB coach/OC in Richt and you have to think that defenses will be krapping their pants at the thought of facing this offense.

Defensively we could be in store for a complete turnaround. I still have my doubts about Diaz but if the rental car issue doesn't cost us Grace's season we have some excellent talent so I don't want to hear any **** excuses from him. Dozens of DC's would kill for the chance to have the personal we have no matter the depth issues. I may be getting ahead of myself a little but this team, assuming we have all hands on deck could shock people. I can't wait.

He can't help himself as he's a SEC ball-licker.
He probably spends 10-12 hours of his day listening to those hayseed retards hosting the college football shows on
satellite radio.

You guys are going to be hugely disappointed. Brock is going to be crying in his breastmilk.
