Marcus Clarke

[Hurricane Hero]

Defense or Offense? I was told by his coach that he is lightning in a bottle on offense and is better on offense right now. He also told me that if he is able to refine his skills at corner he could be a major contributor. What are your thoughts?

 

[DMoney]

If I had to bet I think he ends his career on offense. There is a bigger need at corner, though.

 

[BoxingRobes]

If he wants to make money in the NFL...stick with corner. But a creative OC can get him some fun snaps on offense and he should be a special teams ace.

He and Restrepo are nice problems to have.

Kid’s gotta play cb, and I expect he will be good at it with a bit of development.

 

[bmorecane]

But can he tackle? Doesn’t test like he can.

 

[PSU Cane]

Corner is the biggest need on this team right now.

Anyone capable of playing CB needs to be in that room.

 

[caneholic88]

Imagine a school located in South fla having 4 scholarship cb’s on the roster going into spring lol

 

[CFLCane]

In true Miami fashion we'll prolly misuse him till year 2-3 of his career only to watch him declare early....but in all seriousness.

H'es 100% going to rep @ D in 2020. We took 3WR's and the depth at CB won't allow for any other scenario. If he wan't to earn his way to an offensive role he'll have to do it through winning ST reps on returns. ....imo of course.

Yea that’s why I think his money position will be on offense and special teams. The kid is going to ball out for us on that end.

Is he enrolling early?

 

[Memnon]

Is he enrolling early?

No.

 

[Memnon]

We have no choice but to play him at CB, even though he won't actually be ready to play as a TF.

Should be able to contribute on Special Teams though.

We’re in rough shape at corner.

**** we were loaded at WR in the beginning but we lost Ezzard, Cager, and Hightower to the portal and JT4 and Osborne to graduation. Can’t forget about the loss of AR either. We are super flimsy all over.

Ive been saying it and ill keep saying it, you switch him and Restrepo and it should be an easy decision. Restrepo is the dog we need on defense. He has that same demeanor as Jaquan Johnson had. Steven told me that Marcus has the best hands hes ever seen at any level. Said the kid just doesn't drop a pass. Steven also told me it doesn't matter where he ends up that Marcus has always been the best if not one of the best players on the field. Steven has been coaching Marcus since pop Warner days. Take it as you will. Im just glad we got him. Him being listed as a 3 star is a joke.

We may need to rethink what it means to be ‘loaded’ at WR if your post is to make sense.

He’s very underrated and I’m glad he’s a cane!

 

[Damiencane86]

He unfortunately has to stay at corner no matter what thanks to this staff's inadequacy overall, but no reason he can't return kicks and possibly compete for punt returner and make an impact there.

he needs to be at corner from day 1, and STAY THERE!

How exactly does testing measure tackling? Tackling comes down to form and heart, especially when you have the speed and agility that Clarke possesses.

 

[fresssh]

May pan out, maybe not. But at least hes an athlete dammit. No more slow technicians please. I dont care if someone could improve their 40 time. I want fast twitch athletes that can turn and run effortlessly. We always see our corners slow as balls in highschool, and try to find reasons to like them. Rumph has to go.
