It's Time for Change

The devil you know is most-often better than the devil you don't know.

Miami needs to get Van Dyke out of his heads and to get the yips behind him.

Starting Williams requires a Tecmo Bowl-like playbook for the true freshman and that won't bode well in Tallahassee.... nor can you start a third-string Brown who can't hit the broad side of a barn with his aerial attack.

You go with Van Dyke, you coach him up this week and if he falters, you got to Williams—while you have a few packages designed to capitalize on Brown's wheels.

The problems with that are:

1) If TVD has 3 INTs + a fumble, it will get ugly fast & we will get boatraced something like 55-10

2) We’re not scoring nearly enough to overcome that many mistakes (only 6 pts against NC ST)

3) If TVD starts & throws a couple INTs, it will turn into a feeding frenzy (which is an even worse spot to throw your backup QB into)

Play clean, mistake-free football & surround Emory & Jacurri (couple of series) with our most explosive players (Brashard & CJ) and we will have a chance. I’m confident our D will bring it but we cannot be putting them in bad spot’s repeatedly (short fields etc due to Turnovers).

TVD was seeing ghosts against NC State. Could be 10x worse against FSU.

Damari Brown #6 has a chance to be an excellent CB for us. He looked so smooth and natural when he got in the game vs NCST. Davonte Brown #7 doesn't have the same fluidity his brother has and he is literally a walking talking pass interference penalty. Jadais Richard #25 is another kid I'm very high on. Guidry wanted more experience and I understand that but Richard should have been playing more. Regardless we should start seeing more of #6 and #25 at CB.
I'll believe it when I see it.
 
I feel like most all position groups are playing well from OL, RB, WR, DL, LB, Secondary.

The one position group that isn't is QB.

We should be 8-1 right now. It's a shame really
QB1 is playing as bad as you possibly could right now.
TE room is struggling outside of blocking by one guy. Room is good for a few drops a game.
CB room is struggling. Lots of slow midgets and penalties waiting to happen.

I'd say WR room has improved, but I'm not sure I'd say they are playing well. Very inconsistent group that isn't always getting open. But, better than last year, for sure, especially George, but he goes missing, too.
