Mods putting in work today - Let's talk about X

TheOriginalCane said:
I'm not downgrading X's importance as a WR, I'm just putting some things into perspective.

TVD gets hurt? We are in big trouble.

Parrish gets hurt or Knighton can't go, it thins out our biggest offensive strength over the first 2 games.

X gets hurt? I'm not happy about it, but we have other WRs and TEs and RBs who will just have to catch more passes.

I'd rather have perspective on this than to run around freaking out and exaggerating like 1060 is.

There is a reason that when skill position players go out, the betting line does not move. That is in CFB and in the NFL. Maybe... MAYBE... it'll move 1/2 point or 1 point if the right guy goes out, but that is rare.

Instead, it is exactly what you reference that will move a betting line: cluster injuries to 1 position group. That is problematic.

Now, losing a QB... you can move a line 7 points, maybe even more in certain instances.

Losing X isn't ideal, but in the grand scheme, he is just another dude that we can plug and replace. The replacement level guy (Brashard, likely) isn't a huge dropoff. Now instead of going 4-wide with Brashard and X, we put in Arroyo and go 2 TEs, and the total dropoff isn't so bad.

**** happens, dudes get hurt. That is on the staff, specifically the OC, to adjust. It didn't happen in the 1st quarter, it happened on Thursday. This is not some insurmountable injury. Let's go get these ****ers Sat night.

Why did SMD @AggieFootball? We don’t want them to know about this. At least we don’t throw the ball so not sure how big of a loss this will be.

But seriously, this sucks. Not the best but the most consistent and the most reliable receiver. Next man up. Let’s see that playbook open up and start using the TE.

Regardless of X our O is gonna look like ****, we don’t match up well at all with A&M and our WRs can’t get separation against FCS level talent. They’ll load the box and dare us to throw while Gattis draws up 3 straight runs into the teeth of the D. We gonna lose 31-10

Receivers were open all day against USM, TVD just locked on one receiver and didn't scan the field. He admitted it, and the game video confirms the many open WRs. Having X out may hurt, but since TVD became so dependent on him, it may also lead TVD to actually go through his progressions because his safety blanket isnt there to lock onto.

We had a 90% completion rate vs our FCS opponent. It's a bit of hyperbole to say our guys couldn't even separate against FCS talent, no?

WR is still a question mark on this team, but some of you all are ridiculous.

that’s what happens when u throw the ball 5 yards each time… that’s not gonna beat A&M. We averaged less then 6ypp vs SoMiss that’ll be a recipe for disaster this weekend

I don’t disagree we had dudes he missed, but maybe that’s a byproduct but of the dumbass scheme he’s being asked to play in

This right here. I'm not saying there is a rule for or against this type of thing, but there is some stuff in life that is just befuddling.

Why in God's name did she feel compelled to type those characters in her Tweet?

This is why I'm grateful for Mario and all of his double and triple misdirection. We've got idiots in our sports reporter corps that, if they were covering the Donald Trump/nuclear secrets story, would send out copies of the nuclear secrets with @'s to Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un, in the hopes that those dictators would retweet them...

Pathetic...

I pray that this post is resurrected on Sunday and we are all laughing at you.

I can’t lie, I don’t have the confidence to know what’s going to actually happen, but I’m not going to pre-judge an offensive coordinator before he’s actually had his first Miami game against a P5 opponent.

Gotta make sure the competition knows man. There can’t be any surprises or unfair advantages. Things have to be on an even playing field lol

She’s so trash

You just whined that our WRs couldnt get open vs. an FCS team. When its pointed out they were in fact open against the G5 team we played, but TVD just didn't get it to them, you pivot to a completely different nonsense argument. Do you have any idea what you are talking about?

Of course my number one priority is for Miami to win no matter what, and to enjoy that feeling. But if we do win, it’s going to be a lot of fun railing these whiny girls.

He was definitely TVD's safety blanket. He will now have to look at others. While I like Restrepo, it's not like losing him will break our offense. We have other capable targets.
 
I’ll be right here, you better pray hard
