"Lack of depth"

Advertisement
Will anyone address our opponents' depth and tell me how it's better than ours? That's all that matters when you guys start whining about depth. Our depth at a few spots isn't good. We get that. Now, tell me why our opponents are so much deeper across the board.
 
We have depth, for sure. We definitely have bodies, for sure.

But there is a big drop off between starters and the 2's based on the lack of talented backups.

RB is really our only position where we have both depth and quality depth. You can make a case for DLine as well

Stop with that bullsh*t argument. Miami is building depth at plenty of spots now that the underclassmen have played in some games. Even the backup linebackers are gaining experience, creating depth. And I love how some of you say we lack depth but don't a **** thing gets mentioned about how fsu looks on defense now that they have injuries over there... But I thought they had superior talent and backups to everyone.... the way some of our fans think is that depth issues and injuries are only exclusive to Miami, they are in every program...

great strawman.... next time just look in the mirror and argue with yourself. Anyone who looks at our team and says we have good depth is unrealistic. Freshmen playing is not creating depth if they are the starters....it just making them better as starters.
 
There are some spots on this team where depth is a concern. Even the deepest teams have a drop off from first team to second team but there's guys in the rotation here who are only getting reps because there's no other options. Ideally, you wouldn't want to have to rely on a gimpy Darrion Owens or guys like Smith and McCray to back up your three freshmen linebackers (if this doesn't scream lack of depth, I don't know what does) but you have to play the cards you're dealt. I'm holding out hope that there's no injuries on the O-line as well as there are guys listed as 2nd team who should also never be getting game reps if the depth was where it should be. It's not like the team is devoid of bench talent like some people want to think but there's definitely some holes in the roster to be filled.
 
I'll stack our depth against anybody on our schedule. There aint but three teams that can look Miami eye to eye in the ones and twos on our schedule. Sitting at this table I'm good with the hand we've been dealt, if we move to a different table with a bigger pot..maybe not so much. If you want to talk about playoffs you can have a depth argument, but if we're talking about the coastal, we've got enough. ACC championship game might be a problem depth wise.

The funny thing is. They will continue to overlook our comments because they don't have a real foundation to their claim.

They want to force this "lack of depth" narrative upon us like they want a built in excuse for when Richt and or Diaz make a dumb coaching decision that cost us the game. So they can blame it on "depth" instead of calling the coaches out.

Please tell me how Louisville and UNC all of a sudden got this " quality depth".

These boys are getting game experience and being coached up. That's development.. that's creating depth.

The same way Louisville got depth.
 
Yep, Miami has had plenty of depth thus far to deal with murders row of opponents they have faced. Miami has played absolutely nobody to date but you are yapping about how wonderful the depth is on this team.

Please explain to us in your high football IQ how you came to the conclusion that Miami's depth is a figment of our imagination after playing three cupcakes?

We do have a lack of depth - quality depth.

Putting a player on the field is very different from putting a quality player on the field.

Teams like Houston,Michigan state, Wisconsin, Washington seem to be doing just fine while lacking quality depth... you seriously think their backups are better than Miamis?...

Why do you even post here? No one is saying Miami has elite depth, but the same thing can be said for all of the schools we play too. Don't act like Miami is the only team dealing with this problem.

"Depth" is the new cloud. These dudes don't even watch much college football. They have no clue what our opponents look like or how much depth they have. One imbecile in this thread went so far as to say he doesn't care about what our opponents' depth is.

Depth is only relevant in relation to who you are playing against. Therefore, unless one of these mealy-mouthed wimps can analyze how our opponents are so much deeper than us, all they're doing is repeating stupid **** to set up excuses and to look like geniuses if we lose.

The only real "depth" we lost this season, was AQM, Grace, Cager & Bruce.


The fact that losing AQM has had little to no effect our on Pass rush actually shows we have more depth (on the DLine) than most teams in the country.

We're thin at LB & have inexperienced guys behind our Senior Safety's, the CB depth is solid but not great, our starters are good though.

Exactly how many ACC teams has this team played this year? How many ranked opponents have we played? Why is it a "fact" that we have more D-line depth than any other team in the country and why won't playing 3 tr. Fr. LBs be an issue with anyone left on our schedule? 3 games into the season and already we are the next Crimson Tide?

But it is easier to simply ***** about the "depth".

Talk to me about the quality depth our opponents have that we don't have because that's all that matters. Just claiming we're not the 2001 Canes from a depth standpoint is meaningless.

This is what the **** im talking about. Football is a game of matchups. Why complain about depth when the opponents have similar or worse. It all comes down to coaching and game planning. Period.

We don't care about FSU's team. And the fact still remains that we don't have depth. That didn't change.

Does fsu have depth at safety, linebacker, oline, qb, CB and to a certain extent dline? No

I don't care about FSU.

So you just care about depth in theory and depth in a vacuum? You don't care about our depth as it relates to the teams we play against?

I mean I don't know FSU's team or what their depth situation is. But I do know that they have consistently ranked at or near the top in recruiting the past 5 or so years, while we really haven't done great recruiting, and we've lost quite a few players in the offseason (Some of which were good losses though). I think that is a decent way to show the talent level and depth of most teams.

But more importantly I'm just saying we have a **** load of room to improve the talent on our team. We very clearly don't have as good of a team as we've had the past 2 years. Yet with actual coaching I think we win 10 games for the first time in over a decade.

These faqs live for built in excuses. Its sickening. One of them had the nerve to say we dont have the depth to contend with louisville. You gotta be ****tin me. If not for game experience and good coaching there wouldnt be any "depth" people just automatically assume because a team is winning they have loads of " quality depth".

Dumb *** logic.

You said it best. Talent is only relative in comparison to your opponent. You dont need to have the best; just gotta have better than the rest. We have that over everyteam on our schedule besides fsu. Tbh, their "depth: is starting to look a lil overrated.
