Mike Smith will start in place of Pinckney

rokulika said:
The way I see it, he was warned during the spring that nothing is guaranteed. There's no question that Pinckney is one of the best players on the team but he does seem to require extra motivation. He's going to be on the field a lot against FSU, which is all that really matters.

You take everything so literal.. Sometimes it is coach speak. I know you are like this in your real life.

I dont know how everyones not praising Rumph after last season. Corner was suposed to be a weakness. He instantly turned Corn into and elite player. And made a backup safety transfer into a NFL corner in one season. Now we see what hes doing with Malik Young and Jackson. Rumph did incredible last season, and it seems like hes going to duplicate that this season
 
stop with the pinkney lost his job and pinkney came in out of shape. neither are true. he's suspended for the 1st half and nursing an injury. on top of they motivational play the coaches are instilling.

as mentioned, barring injury, he'll be starting vs fsu and going off like Jefferson vs Lincoln.

This staff is showing they don't play favorites. They're not afraid to play Golden's recruits if they show improvement in practice.

Yes I love that.. seems like it's no politics being involved with this staff.... the coaches are letting the most consistent guys get the reps.. which is great in the long run because all the top recruits know that they have to reach their top potential in order to play

When is the last time we had players literally being a JAG to day 1 starter? I think this shows the program is in full gear and the kids are buying into coaching and training. It's a very positive sign that kids are working their asses off competing and getting better.

I think we see a gritty team this year!!!

Diaz said Young will not play Nickle because they like him more on the outside.. I feel like Diaz already knows what Young is capable of, so maybe he wants to see Jackson in game action

Seems like Dean is the 5th corner.. I guess his tackling is that bad

Shout out to Rob Knowles for getting that 3rd safety spot.. who saw that coming ??

Pinckney lost his job in the spring and missed the first couple weeks of camp. I'm not so sure he would've been the starter against Bethune without the suspension. We'll see.

Why are you guys downvoting this post. This is real deal.

Add to that Pinckney gained a lot of bad weight and came into camp out of shape

Who started this Pinckney isn't a self starter narrative? He got suspended for targeting. NCAA rule. I haven't heard a coach say one thing directed specifically at MP.

Go Canes!
 
Another one of those head scratchers if we listened to some people on this board, wasn't smith moved to fullback and given 35 because the true freshman was taking his minutes!

This is a really good sign considering it was Owens' job exiting the spring.

Seeing Perry juke Owens out of his Keds during practice last week was an omen.

The coaches have spoken highly of Jackson too. Another really good sign.

Kids are being developed and competition is fierce.

Owens is playing on one leg! I feel bad for the guy and I appreciate his trying, but it is clear he cannot get over that mental hurdle of the knee.

I keep reading about a mental hurdle and it's ridiculous. Kid has a bum knee and he is limited. That is all, nothing mental about it.

Where are you getting this?

Coaches repeated over and over last season that DO was tentative because he didn't trust his knee yet. "He's got to learn to trust it." That type of ****.

It was an ACL tear, yes? Kids come back from ACL repairs all of the time. Why is it that DO's got a "bum knee"?

I hope you are joking. Pickney is the starter...not close. The talent gap between Pickney and Smith is huge. SMH at some of the stuff posted in this forum.

So do you go to games? If so, do you concentrate on a particular player as a play starts, develops, and ends? Owens can run without issues and his knee might be "structurally sound". However, the kid cannot move side to side. So you believe that lateral movement is important for the LB position? Did you see that play where N'Kosi destroys him and almost makes him fall down? When it comes to football play, Owen has a BUM knee and his movement is limited. That is a FACT sir...nothing to do with any "mental hurdle" bs.

Coaches can say whatever they want. Do you think they always disclose all the facts? Do you think they will publicize the fact that Owen's lateral movement is compromised? What's next? You believe the 40 times clocked by Felder? You believe that Berrios runs a 4.3? Think for yourself.

Someone mentioned Pickney came into camp out of shape. Was that true or nonsense?

It'll be true soon if the goofballs on here keep repeating it.

Just like the "Rumph is suspect" myth became reality b/c clowns like you that don't know what the **** they're talking about kept saying it.

Keep sniffing my butt, PlzPayAttentionToMeDaddy. Rumph is still suspect as a recruiter. Only dyck faces with low standards like you think he's proven anything on the recruiting front.
 
Mike Smith challenged Shaq at the beginning of Winter Work.. Saying to Shaq you got more than 80 percent of the snap last year...and he planned on taking some if those... Dude is serious about getting on the field.. I saw significant out of him during the Spring Game... I will be disappointed if Pinkney don't respond to this challenge... Mike Smith has started a fire in the LB Corp... thats a good thing... Steed reminds me of Shaq... watching him play in HS he just has to heal... Wilder is going to start the next fire.. Darrion has to bounce back mentally... Competition will bring the best out of some and make others shut down... Time to Man Up
