No lie, this been me all season.

Just brutal.Based on life as a fan, I 100% believe this rumor
Not physical enough for run fits yet, playing in the box, setting the edge, taking on blocks, blitzing off the edge, etc. The nickle spot is asked to do ALOT in the defense. Very unique skill set needed to play the spot, thats why its such a devastating loss.Bryce Fitzgerald

Agreed on all that but I gotta send up prayers regardless. One or two takeaways in crucial games can ease the painNot physical enough for run fits yet, playing in the box, setting the edge, taking on blocks, blitzing off the edge, etc. The nickle spot is asked to do ALOT in the defense.

Pruitt.Cam?
Honestly It'll probably be Dylan Day or just one of Poyser/Thomas tbh. Day has gotten a decent amount of PT so far. Isaiah Taylor has been Scotts replacement who is obviously more of a safety. So I'd think that is more the route they'd go over more CB. So I could see them just opting for Fitzgerald to be in the game a lot more as the FS and dropping one of the safeties to nickel...Pruitt.
I may be wrong but I feel like Poyser played a lot of nickel at Jacksonville State. My immediate assumption was like you said, more Fitzgerald and move Poyser to that spot.

This was my initial thought as well although I think it means more creativity on the back end with personnel. I see Fitzgerald, Day, and Antoine getting more burn in the secondary while Poyser, Brown, and maybe O’Conner fill in the nickel role situation depending. It won’t be a straight forward next man up substitution to replace what Scott did.I may be wrong but I feel like Poyser played a lot of nickel at Jacksonville State.

On the rewatch he only played like 2 or 3 snaps in the second half then was replaced by Taylor. So likely got injured in the game not in practice. Then when we were getting gashed with Taylor in look like he was replaced by Cam PruittHe’s played about 99% of the snaps at his spot. Pretty sure he was even in on the last drive of the Syracuse game. None of those kids play his position. One of them is likely going to have to. But we need OJ fully healthy immediately because we likely have to move one of the 4 corners to nickel now to replace him and we need the other 3 to actually play corner. This is probably the 3rd best player on the entire team along with Bain and Toney and the only one who really doesn’t have a backup.
No way to sugarcoat it, this is a massive, massive loss. I don’t think the defense falls off a cliff or anything, we should still be very good but this kid was literally playing just about every play and he was doing it at an all-conference type level. Heatherman has to make some real moves now. And a legitimate offense is coming to town in 4 days.
This is correct. Per PFF he only played the 1st 2 snaps of the 2nd half. No clear injury. Left leg was maybe a little gimpy jogging through the 2nd and last play. Maybe. Idek which leg the boot was on in the photo. He doesn’t seem concerned and isn’t looking at it or reaching for it. Hope we get clarity tomorrowOn the rewatch he only played like 2 or 3 snaps in the second half then was replaced by Taylor. So likely got injured in the game not in practice.

Can we get rid of this clown again.Mario out there recruiting still and running possessions that last 5 minutes long and we get 20 yards and wants to focus on that
meanwhile we are still alive in the playoff picture and the natty but Mario probably doesn't even know yet or care
HEY! Mario!
you know if we can come out there, maybe throw the ball down field and pick up the pace a little bit and win BIG and do it the Miami Way and run up the score a little more, which we Easily can... we should be good to make the playoffs.
makes me remember when FSU went undefeated but they were so @ss the last few games vs UF and the acc ship that the playoff committee said **** na
we, MARIO, need to realize this and cant just keep winning to just win, we got to show the F out
praying for Scott - hes the heart and soul of this Defense , need him, @TheOriginalCane @skeeter I heard he rolls the best honey dutches in the game. We need him
I heard Lofton could be the best player on defense if he wasn’t having such an impact on offense.Maybe against the pass, but he can’t bring the tackling, blitzing, or filling Scott can. I’m not even sure that skill set is currently on the team. Maybe try Brantley in there and give him cocaine?
He does effectively slow down our offense so …maybe???I heard Lofton could be the best player on defense if he wasn’t having such an impact on offense.
I meant I couldn’t tell him good news or the news he was asking for. I’m weird with injury stuff so I was being a little ambiguousMario will take you hostage for any info
Lofton can play Nickel but drop to LB, DT or DE on one playI heard Lofton could be the best player on defense if he wasn’t having such an impact on offense.
