Where is Congdon?

Crazy that Hawks saw the field but not Congdon.

How can a DL get pressure when the OL is tackling them? That's why the refs are calling these holds, they are EGREGIOUS, it's straight up "I'm beat, if I don't tackle this DL, my QB is going to get killed".

WRs & TE are also running free. Too easy.

we have 2 heisman candidates on this team

Finalists*

4 holding calls in one half in favor of Miami, not sure 4 have been called as long as Miami has been in the conference

To put it in context. Bain only drew 3 holding penaltys last year.

What happened to Blount?

Looked like he got it caught in a facemask. My guess is he ripped off a nail or broke a finger

I’m sure everyone’s saying the same but just popping in to say Mensah is as advertised. His ability to hang in the pocket and make pinpoint downfield throws is incredible.

I posted a few stats this summer about his numbers against the blitz. Otherworldly. Like, as legit as it gets. This is why. He’s not backpedaling, he’s not panicked, he’s not rushed. He stands in until the last second and just throws dots. As many of us have said all offseason, he will he in NYC in December. As impressive as it gets, honestly.

OJ hasn’t come back in since the first play

his arm was hanging. Looked like a shoulder

 

[CBurrr93]

Let me know when Damari Brown makes a play

He’s the most overrated player on this board by the SFL mafia. He’s never made a play

 

[Cane18]

We kept the same special team corch

That's because he makes the coffee for the staff

Such a funny team, so explosive and the opposite of the typical Mario approach. It’s amazing and such an incredible improvement from last year. Still I’m seeing too many mistakes in the trenches particularly. We all know that’s what carries in the biggest games, but i got some faith we’ll figure it out.

It’s game one man, they will figure that out in the trenches, you can be assured of that.

I’m always I’ll believe it when I see it. DL yeah they’ll figure it out. Proven talent around, even though I am surely disappointed given how weak their OL is. For our OL there is way too much new there even if there is a pool of talent and good coaching. It’s always been an experience position.

 

[TboneJones]

I’d rather Ethan O’Connor in over Demari.

Must be some new age defense thing.

Feels like it’s more about seniority than anything else.

Thomas and Scott’s spots opened up so they put Bryce there w/ Omar rather than moving Poysner who was the guy who often came out of the game for Bryce last year.

 

[Disgustipated]

To put it in context. Bain only drew 3 holding penaltys last year.

maybe the memo finally went out, stop ******* our best team

 

[drewm3i]

who are the two stiffs playing DT that stole Moten’s and Scott’s jerseys

CFB 27 got it right:

Moten - 91
Scott - 87

We will develop.

Where is Congdon?

Who is Hawks?

 

[Silentobserver]

DE is getting most of the attention but tbh I expected DT pick up pass rush slack. Not so much so far

This here. Scott and Moten have been none factors.

Carter has played but hasn't been noticeable.

With so many OL out Miamis DL should have been more impactful that first half

 

[Tinman64]

What happened to Blount?

Finger /hand

 

[91Canes]

Where is Congdon?

Crazy that Hawks saw the field but not Congdon.

Who is Hawks?

Hawks tuah
