McShay talks Miami Defense

Advertisement
Simpson got I think 5 reps last week. This bye week is perfect timing to continue to get him more & more comfortable. The truth about the portal/NIL era is teams have alot less depth then they ever did. Nobody is 3 deep at a position anymore. Young guys have to be ready bc its not the days of having a Junior physically ready guy behind the starter.

We need to start putting teams away to give 3/4 some rest in these games. No reason they should each get 50 snaps per game the rest of the way.

Thats the problem with the style of play we have been having.. we dont really do that, plus shutting down operations on both sides of ball in entire 4th qtr doesnt lend to that either.. cant run 4 minute offense with 15 minutes left, lol.. its literally called 4 MINUTE OFFENSE lol.. then prevent D.. Ateast one side has to keep playing

I get why we leaned on experience during the gauntlet we had to start the year, but we have to build depth both on defense and offense. I hope we don't wait until the game is out of reach to give guys like Simpson, Russel (if he's healthy), Wiley, Bonner, Pruitt, PIckett, etc. snaps. Don't put them all in at once, but sub them in strategically. Give 1 or 2 of them a series; let them take their lumps. We did that with Blount against Duke last year, and it wasn't pretty, but it's valuable. On offense give Moore, Trader (if he's not on a milk carton), Upshaw, Gilbert, Schott meaningful snaps too. We need more weapons and explosive potential on offense. I think part of the reason we have failed to put teams away on offense is that there's only so many ways Dawson can dress up throwing the ball to Toney and Daniels.

With our resume I think we are still a lock in the playoff if we either:
  • drop 1 regular season game, miss out on ACC Championship game because of a tiebreaker
  • drop 1 regular season game, make the ACC Championship game and lose a competitive game
We don't have to be perfect the rest of the season, though it sure would be cool if we were. Play more guys, get them experience, and build depth.

Mario answer to Bain and mesidor playing 70+ snaps was they should be ready to play 80 basically.. They not coming off the field.. I guess a jogging bain in 4th is best we got

Not ideal. Hopefully that's just rhetoric. Was that from the presser yesterday? I just caught Dawson's part, haven't caught up on Coach and Hetherman yet.

Defensive Tackle

Defensive tackle, I’m telling you some of you guys on here are amazing. Freaking amazing! We have arguably the three best defensive tackles in all of college football and they are playing like it on the field and yet you guys still say you’re concerned with it. I’ll never get it with some of you.

Well, not for nothing but we've arguably had the strongest SOS in the country up until now. Let's see how it works out with the easier part of our schedule.
