Some of y'all don't comprehend what's actually going on. **** the recruitment it is what it is. But when you keep saying how desperately we need an influx of talent on the offensive line, it really screams some of y'all clueless. Do you know how any lines work 9.9 out of 10 times. It takes time to come together and develop. That's not saying the people we have on here are the answer or anything else. It's just saying the obvious. Told you last year the offensive line was going to take some time to come together because we're going to have four new starters and five new positions. If you think you replace that in one season and get them back to peak form y'all really are ****** clueless. Some of y'all saying Jackson is a bust because he didn't come in like cici ready to play day 1 on a national championship caliber team. News flash, if cici would've signed with us and we were a national championship caliber team him or annez wouldn't have played year 1 either. Just calm down a little bit. Would it be great to get more talent? Yeah absolutely, you always want the most talent possible. But if all of a sudden you're questioning if Mario and Mirabel can recruit and develop offensive line talent, then just go shoot yourselves. Jump off a ****** building. Cuz life ain't meant for you... None of us want to see us struggle. But this is the reality of having all these new starters and replacing the talent that we replaced. When you didn't give the people that would be replacing them snaps previously, then you're going to have to go through the pains that come with developing them in the present. This is exactly the problem we are having now and will have next year at other positions. Just deal with it. Portal or not you're still going to have problems it's just a matter of how much and how quickly you can get through them. Tighten the **** up and quit all this crying. Whether or not this fruit signs with us or goes anywhere else just is what it is. We have the number two recruiting class in the country and y'all are complaining like ******* because one kid that's shown over and over he doesn't want to be here is debating if he can force himself to or not. Sad bunch of grown *** men acting like hoes...

imo i think the frustration is that our upper class OL are not playing well and the guys behind them for the most part have been here for a bit.

And the OL has gotten better from the first 4 weeks, they looked awful then they showed major progress. And f that kid he aint for UM, we will whip UGAs *** in the coming years easily.

I agree with all of this, but not what we were told this offseason 🤷‍♂️...that's what set the expectations

Man I know the loss last night technically doesn't matter. Sure as **** matters for recruiting momentum. We would be so dangerous on the trail right now with a win last night down Toney.

they started to get better but this was the best DL they would face and got smoked. the worst performance of an OL under marios tenure year.

Yea vs grown men they got smacked, I expected that vs a ND UGA and IU, those fronts will cause us problems in the playoffs but we can still win. I hate to surrender the LOS though and wave the white flag there. We need Jatori but sadly I think he is Auburns to lose unless Mario knows a few magic tricks which he does.

I agree we look better against acc teams
But against notre dame we looked like cheeks
And this was against their 2nd and 3rd string dudes

I get it. But same issue applies. The talented upper classmen that we had are already gone. The line is extremely young. Never received meaningful snaps, let alone played as a unit. Some playing brand new roles and we're seeing the struggles as a result. All this panic and desperation won't change that. Mccoy, only returning starter & an entirely new position. New starters in New positions all around him. Samson only other one with experience & again new position (at this level) and New starters around him. A good line becomes that because they know the strengths and weaknesses of the people around them. Familiarity. That doesn't exist at all right now. Sj from one side to the next. Buchanon,congdon,etc. sure Rodriguez has some familiarity but that dude's played guard and had never been healthy let alone with this group... Anyone in a position to play has next to no experience.

Freeman knows what it takes up front he is an OSU guy, they been recruiting different since he took over. It was like keeping Mario at Oregon, they just replaced Kelly with someone on staff who we all knew was better.

The problem with that is it's not Mario and Mirabel telling you these things. It's dudes that ain't no different, that just have a voice on the internet. Nowhere did anyone that knows anything relevant tell you this offensive line is going to be dominant. That would have been a fool. In time it will be dominant. Just to expect that right now is insane. literally

I just have to reset expectations
I was so hurt after losing to Indiana I was hoping we could win the title this year
But at best we are like ole miss last year
And we’ll get bodied in the playoffs against a team with a dline
So that’s why just win the acc win the first round game
And next year
Hopefully we’ll have
Samson congdon sj jatorri cantwell/irvin
And that should be a pretty solid oline that takes us over the top esp with Mali as a junior

Even the dline should be better
after seeing this team play
I doubt Blount Scott or lightfoot go pro
Unless they have a cfp run like Bain and mesi last year

That dline class this year of theirs is stacked
I would personally trade our dbs for their dline class
This is why their 3rd string dudes were killing us bc they truly stack year after year

That - and Ohio State last year - were the most talented teams Miami have faced in the last three seasons.

Are you saying this notre dame team is one of the two most talented teams we've faced in three years? I'd hope that's not what you were saying. This year's team isn't even close to as talented as last year's was.

I know Mensah was a late addition from a portal perspective. He was running or pressured for his life vs Notre Dame and in a few other games as well and when you have a QB like Mensah, we would all like to see him operating behind a solid O-line.

It’s better what we have here va what he had at Duke and he’s talented enough to overcome a lot of it but IMO, I don’t think he will be able to overcome this line vs better competition in the playoffs. Not with a defense that isn’t capable of helping out the offense much by creating havoc and turning opponents over.

That defense Saturday was one of the better defenses we will see, even in the playoffs.
