Josh Moore and Charmar Brown - out for the season

I don't expect much from Paris or Spafford tbh. The focus needs to be Barkate and Upshaw (after Toney). I am not impressed with Jacobs but I understand he represents a deep threat. Wingo is the only other guy I expect meaningful reps from.



Agree. I'd rather have a more fast twitch guy as the gunner blocker rather than a brown who didn't provide any real blocking of his assigned gunner

Agreed on Jacobs. With our injuries, I’d like to see him and Spafford on KR instead of Pringle and Mallory. Would takeoff Mali from PR in favor of Coop as another way to get him going.

Spafford i expect less of for this year; however, he got eight snaps compared to Parris’ three against Stanford which is why I included him. After central Michigan, it’s not until Boston College at the end of the year that we play such a non-threatening team. Given the recency of the injury and them knowing that, I’d hope rotations happen sooner than 7 minutes left to go in the 4th quarter.

Wingo and Jacobs will def be the immediate beneficiaries. Wingo is exciting.

I'd fair catch every kick off or let go in the end zone.

I'd also (I'm sure this will be popular) fair catch every punt unless:
1. Opponent starts kicking low 60 yard punts because caught on you dont return, or
2. You are desperate

IMO, gotta keep Toney at PR. I don't think Barkate offers much there - I get not over-repping Toney but PR opportunities are right up his wheelhouse and are potential gamebreaks.

With college randomness, i think you gotta try to take advantage of all 3 phases, even while being conservative. But i get your position

People may laugh but when the opposing team kickoffs I pray for a touchback. That way it’s unlikely we start worse than the 25 yard line.

Miami fielded a kick at what the 20 due to the Wake penalty and still managed to get flagged. Special teams absolutely sucks again. At least the kick coverage has been fine, punt coverage ******* blows.

My opinion based on how limited real practice time is limited. It’s an optimization of scarce practice time for me. But I get why you want your most dynamic guy with space.
 
Lofton can be used in multiple positions.
6’2…243..
Start using our young 6’4-6’5 receivers
 
This why I don’t get dixkheads like Cam Vaughn ..you never know when your opportunity to shine is gonna come, instead of *****ing n moaning put your head down, work. & when the time comes be ready to prove it on the field …oh well it’s wingo n upshaw szn , also need coop to get it going against CMU
 
What is the reasoning for all these shoulder injuries.Seems like an inordinate amount already.

Bad tackling technique

It's actually not (please don't curse me with lightning through my house).

Last year, Keionte Scott missed several games (3?). Mark Fletcher missed two games. Jordan Lyle was our starting RB, got hurt in Week 1, and never regained any kind of form. Girard Pringle missed several games. CJ Daniels missed 3 games. Jojo Trader missed several games. Tony Johnson got hurt. OJ Frederique missed I believe 5 games. Ahmad Moten hurt his ankle and was playing hurt late in the year, and I believe he missed a couple games entirely. Damari Brown, we were counting on, and he got hurt, again.

We had a LOT of injuries last year. The difference was, they weren't all early in the year like this has been, and we didn't have many kids get hurt and just flat miss the entire season after their injury, like what's going on with Marty and Josh. But we had a ton of key contributors hurt last season.

Where we did stay healthy was on the OL. I don't think a single OL missed a game, did they?

We’ve recruited well. I expect us to be healthy (with what we know today) going into FSU and the home stretch through the winter. this season comes down to iol. If we can’t figure that out, no sense in expecting a deep run.
