My Post Game Recap - NC State

at the end of the day it's manny's defense. his side of the ball, his scheme, his game planning, his coaching points etc. i assume blake baker isn't going anywhere but regardless it's on manny to fix.

a strength of manny as a head coach so far has been his attacking of problem areas. fired the whole offensive staff after richt and then basically did it again a second time. fixed the punting after the worst punting season we've ever seen. did the same thing w/ kicker. fixed QB this year too and finally got the OC right. i doubt we see such drastic moves on the defensive side of the ball because he has his guys there but all the same he needs to figure out how to attack it like he has everything else that was obviously broken.
CMD needs a massive upgrade on D side of ball Baker, Patke, Rumph(can not recruit) & add an LB coach

Completely different situation. No comparison. Firing Manny made sense at Texas from a logistical standpoint, where it doesn’t here. Also, other factors in play as well.
I'm making the point that a firing can happen mid-season.

Baker is NOT getting the job done

It's pathetic at best. The offense is getting better...the D is getting worse. TFLs, Sacks....all those numbers are dropping. Its like a D'Onifrio defense....wide open WRs and we get interceptions 1 out of 3 games. Its tough to watch.

This defense NEVER comes out and runs the table thr first series of a game. Every game it seems the other team' opening drive has them just throttle us on the first series. See last night as the PERFECT example

Of course it can happen, but it’s rare. Even more rare in a team that is winning.

In Texas, it happened in an extreme situation, when you have someone waiting in the wings like they did at Texas - that’s why I was saying it was a completely different situation - you need to study the situations before you can see the difference between them .

You’re not making a good case for doing it in the here and now. Everybody knows Baker is remedial, but that’s not the point. Makes more sense to keep him on in a reduced capacity with more hands on from Manny. Then you can make a personnel decision post season.

So you either make the smart move, or the emotional move proposed by couch riding walmart hourly employees.
 
If Baker was fired mid-season, how would that impact Diaz’s prep as HC? I’m sure it’s possible, but the only DC I know that’s done both successfully is Belicheck.
 
"This team specifically on Defense are an overly chirpy bunch that plays unfocused & spends all game long talking shìt while getting slid up & down the field against teams that aren't phased by their trash talk at all. They think they're better than they actually are & don't realize they're not intimidating anybody with the constant yapping they do after every play"


This **** right here!!!! My girl thought I was going to have a aneurysm last. I was literally screaming at the tv "Shut the **** up and play ball". They are bumping their gums while NC offense is prison ******* them in the yard.

We are letting back up QBs on half decent teams boat race out D. We never come out ready. We consistently give WRs MASSIVE cushions.

I guess you prefer just "settling"

Have a good day

Offense:

D'Eriq King - 31/41 430yds 5TD's at 75%cmp & 15att 105yds rushing
Mike Harley - 8rec 153yds & 2TD's
Mark Pope - 6rec 97yds & 1TD
Will Mallory - 6rec 78yds & 1TD
Dee Wiggins - 7rec 77yds & 1TD
Cam'ron Harris - 15att 62yds & 2rec 12yds
Jaylan Knighton - 5att 13yds
Don Chaney Jr - 3att 14yds

Gained 620yds (431 passing & 189 rushing) of total offense, ran 83 plays at 7.9 yards per play with 30 first downs, went 7-16 on 3rd down with 33:00 in time of possession.

Astronomical performance by the offense tonight!

Great job by King on pulling it from the Mesh point on that 4th down run on the first drive. King WAS ON FIRE!!! This was his best game of his career, he put the team on his back willed us to victory, this was the greatest single game performance by a Miami QB in decades. THIS IS WHAT I/WE MEANT WHEN WE WERE HYPING WHAT THIS KID WOULD BRING TO THIS TEAM IN THE OFFSEASON! King went straight GODMODE! And made a colossal effort to drag this team to another win.



Great teardrop throw by King to Harley for the TD, Harley also did a great job getting depth on his Corner route, he got the DB to overstep expecting an in route & broke him off something proper getting to the corner end zone pylon, great play call on 3rd down.

Mike Harley following up his great UVA performance with a game winning TD! He played his best game of his career tonight, his route running was crisp & precise, he caught every thrown to him & on the game winning TD had great balance staying on his feet & taking the quick slant to the house for 54yds! I was hard on him for his early struggles in the season but he deserves a ton of credit for stepping up & becoming our best playmaker in this WR corps.



Congrats to Pope getting his first TD on the season, he had a bad drop in 2nd quarter, but he made up for it in the 3rd with 2 very good catches. Just keep at it & keep working.



Thank God Dee Wiggins actually caught the TD on the Go route lol. He also had a bounce back game after not performing well for a majority of the season since FSU.

Will Mallory has done a terrific job filling in for Brevin Jordan, he's really stepped up & blossomed as the go to TE in this offense.

Chaney has a nice run early, Cam had a bounce back game with a couple nice runs late in the 3rd & 4th quarter

Lashlee showed up & called a masterful game, he kept us in this game without any help from the Defense whatsoever.

NC St got away with an illegal hold in the end zone on the drive to start the 2nd half on that 3rd down play in the red zone. Wiggins got clearly grabbed & spun around by Dunlap in the end zone.

The biggest difference between this year & last year is QB & OC that's why we're winning games.

The refs completely ****ed us on those goaline plays, they literally took 2 TD's away with a bullshìt "review" & called an awful false start. They also allowed NC St to get away with another blatant hold on Hodges.

This is probably the best offensive performance Miami has had since the 90's (I don't know that for a fact just guessing based of the production). For everybody that was doubting Lashlee & thinking he wasn't good, pay attention; HE LITERALLY TOOK OVER THIS GAME & WAS THE DE FACTO HEAD COACH, HE BASICALLY WON THIS GAME IN SPITE OF MANUELITO & BLAKE FAKER!

Legitimately the worst officiating crew I've ever seen in my life since the Ron Cherry days, they tried their damnedest to ***** us over.

Defense:

Jaelan Phillips - 10tcks 1.5TFL's & 1 sack
Amari Carter - 7tcks & 1PBU
Gilbert Frierson - 6tcks & 1TFL
Quincy Roche - 6tcks & 0.5TFL's
Nesta Silvera - 5tcks & 1TFL
Jared Harrison-Hunte - 5tcks & 0.5TFL's
Bradley Jennings Jr - 4tcks & 0.5TFL's
Sam Brooks - 4tcks
Te'Cory Couch - 1tck 1TFL & 1 sack
Al Blades Jr - 5tcks & 1PBU
DJ Ivey - 1tck & 1INT

Defense gave up a despicable 410yds total offense, but forced 1 critical turnover.

First drive was horrendous by the Defense, NC St just completely marched down the field & scored without any resistance. That would be the theme of the night, they moved the ball at will, literally up until the last 5min of the 4th quarter. Completely embarrassing performance by this Defense, they ought to be ashamed of themselves.

I literally identified in my NC St preview that they run WR Pass play with Thayer once they pass midfield & get into the 30. I knew they were going to call that play, Baker is a dumbass.

No exaggeration this is literally what I said word for word verbatim: Thayer Thomas 6'0 195lbs is their Slot WR, they throw to him a majority of the time on 1st downs, he's a short area Slot with good speed, he gets in & out of his breaks with quickness & an explosive player. He also can throw the ball well... Why does it matter if he can throw? Because they used him on multiple trick plays last year where he threw the ball on 5 WR pass plays for 2TD's (the QB throws him the ball on what looks like a Bubble screen, but then he throws it to another WR either streaking from the same Bunch stacked formation or a WR on the other side of the field running free after the Defense has bitten down on defending against the Slot screen). This season he's already thrown it twice. The Defense better be on alert for this trick play with Thayer, especially given Hockman being such a terrible passer himself, they'll be pulling out all the stops & 30-40yd WR pass play would be an easy TD if we're not prepared for it. Coach Baker, if I noticed this then you better have too!

Here's the link 👉🏾 https://www.canesinsight.com/threads/nc-state-preview.165186/

Bolden is really a subpar tackler, that's back to back weeks he's went in for a soft shoulder tackle & literally bounced off a WR. Plus the bad angle & missed tackle on the run by Person.

On the long run by Person in the 2nd quarter, that was just a flat out terrible play call, that side of the field was wide open because Blades was sent on an unnecessary Blitz & was ran completely out of the play leaving a **** near 20 yard chasm wide open for him to run through.

Secondary was awful tonight;
Blades on the pass to Emeka got worked on a post route on the first drive, then had an awful PI penalty & then in the 2nd half got worked again by Emezie on another Deep ball. This was his absolute worse game of the season.

DJ Ivey had no idea where the ball was on the TD to Devin Carter, he's a Boundary Corner that has no clue how to use the Boundary, the sideline is supposed to be an extra Defender for the Boundary Corner, but for Ivey WR's actually uses it against him somehow smh. Yes he got the INT late, but that doesn't excuse Blades & Ivey's play for the rest of the entire game.

Te'Cory Couch was the only DB that played good football tonight, he was the only one that had any fire in his belly & actually played like he got some **** sense. For the 21 class absolutely need a Portal CB.

Baker, Patke & Rumph gotta go! They weigh this team down both in their inability to coach their units consistently & their inability to recruit, they are net negative not a net positive & have done nothing but underperform their entire tenures at Miami. **** poor job by these coaches this season with their units.

What a completely idiotic penalty by Roche, that weak *** OL was clearly flopping like James Harden & he sold it to these overly litigious ACC refs that would throw a flag on every play if they could, but Roche has to be smarter than that & not fall for the obvious trolling by a soft OL, he goaded him to push him & it worked.

Defense looked lethargic & tired all game, they were completely sleepwalking & playing like they were uninterested. This was their worst performance since the Clemson game. Miami got cracked open & was pure Swiss cheese all game.

This team is still incredibly undisciplined, we had 8 God damned penalties in the first half & 12 penalties for 101yds on the game, that's as unacceptable as it gets. These players don't look at Manny as a disciplinarian figure that they have to respect, they just play recklessly & are plagued with constant mental errors, when they make a huge mistake he just brings them over to the sideline & coddles them. This team specifically on Defense are an overly chirpy bunch that plays unfocused & spends all game long talking shìt while getting slid up & down the field against teams that aren't phased by their trash talk at all. They think they're better than they actually are & don't realize they're not intimidating anybody with the constant yapping they do after every play. It's a sign of a team that has no authority figure at the top that can reinforce a standard & correct their immature behavior on the field.

Now let me get to the Baker man...

Baker called an absolute garbage game, again another player I identified in the my preview was their TE Angeline, they throw to him frequently in the Red Zone, so when NC St drives into the Red Zone, what does Baker do??? Sit back in soft Cover 3 Zone & leaves the TE unaccounted for, just like he does for every TE we play, Baker for some odd reason does not believe that the TE needs to be covered ever. He is a ****** horrendous Coordinator.

Baker has a wooden & laconic personality, he has no fire at all & he doesn't demand excellence from this Defense, his philosophy is just to barely survive while hanging onto a thread, this is worse than Bend but don't Break, it's give up as many yards & as many TD's as possible, aimlessly Blitz on every play & just hope something goes wrong.

He's a lazy *** nightshift security guard asleep in the surveillance room while the burglars are breaking in the building & stealing all the merchandise. He's a big ****** ZERO, a nothing, a poor excuse of a Corch & has entered into D'Noforio territory, he coaches Defense like he's an assistant manager at an Office Max, just Bland with no courageousness or tenacity at all. FIRE HIM.

On special teams, what are the odds that we would actually give up a ****** Kick Return for a TD, we usually literally boot the ball to the back of the end zone, but it was just pure dumb luck & ill-preparedness for us to give up a TD on Special Teams too. This team just figures out ways to shoot ourselves in the foot in those moments.

Overall, this was a spectacular offensive game, but we looked like a Big XII team out there, we looked like Texas Tech on Defense, that was a **** travesty. Thank God for D'Eriq King, Rhett Lashlee, Mike Harley, Will Mallory & the offense, they won this game for us despite having no Defense to assist them at all.

A win is a win & I'll take it, but it shouldn't have to require a Herculean record breaking effort by King in order to beat a team like NC St. This team needs to seriously pull their heads out of their own *** if they wanna survive on the road vs a good Va Tech offense, if the Defense doesn't fix the issues these last 4 games against teams that really have nothing to play for (except for UNC) are gonna be an arduous task to overcome.

Keep winning, but this shìt better be addressed ASAP!

****, this is genius. Echo my every thought, only said it better & with supportive evidence.
 
Where would you put Banda, if Manny hires a new DC? He would want to bring on his own staff, but he’s arguably our best recruiter on D.
 
Yeah, right, Miami is gonna fire coaches in the middle of Covid? Barely have enough money to make a move under normal conditions. Point is the head coach, who is here because he's an alleged defensive genius, needs to get his hands dirty and fix the mess.
 
Advertisement
The goal theoretically is to cause havoc upfront & get the offense behind schedule & disrupt rhythm, they want to creat 2nd/3rd down & long situations, the problem is we give up like **** near 6-8 yards on first down so all the hyperactive Blitzing backfires because offense can see from a mile away where our telegraphed Blitzes are coming from & because we do know pre-snap audibles, all the offense has to do is hard count get a read on how fast we're timing the snap & run motion to check to whether or not we're in Man or Zone & then literally audible & signal a Hot route to the exact spot where the Blitz is coming from.

We basically tell Offenses, this is where we're coming from before the play & this is how many we're sending & because Blake Faker is an idiot he gives them a tell on exactly where to go with the ball where a Defender would be except they're not because they're too busy Blitzing unsuccessfully.

We do no disguised looks pre/post snap, we do nothing at all besides put our Defense at a disadvantage on every ****** play. Baker is a pure shìt play caller & doesn't understand how to properly run this Defense.
So dam true. Watch us and watch the Dolphins. We both blitz a lot, but they can disguise **** because they don't have db's coming from 15 yards away. And for the love of God" can we please have some defensive audibles, when people hard counts, and make us declare what we're doing.

If Baker isn’t fired after this year then we know Manny isn’t the answer. They will spew all these bullchit stats like they always do but my eyes don’t lie. Baker ain’t it and Manny has to move on from him. We know Rumph and Patke are wasted coaching slots so that’s 3 easy changes that HAVE TO BE MADE IN THE OFFSEASON for Miami to take that next step. None of them can recruit worth a **** either. We need to hit the portal for a CB and a LB

I knew we were in for a long night when the tv broadcast showed Manny trying to fire the team up in the endzone. He bounced around multiple times and the players didn't even move. He had to start pushing players to get them to even react. I tell my guys in baseball, how you warm up is how you'll play. Those kids were dead and it showed on the field.
****, imagine this season if we don't have King. 6-7 would have been the ceiling.
Refs did their best to **** us again. Tons of holding all night and the first roughing the passer call was clear targeting and they ignored it. Dude launched and head butted king. Then later they had the roughing call against Roche but picked up the flag because state scored. The holding call on one of the long pass plays against us was complete bs imo.
Defensive coaching changes better be made at the end of the season or Manny is torpedoing his own ship. It's pretty obvious they aren't getting the job done. Peeps that want to talk about stats need to stop. Stats are for when you want to say something other than the obvious. What's obvious to anyone who's watching is that the defense just isn't good.
 
Great Great job, LCE!! I've been calling for baker. I have to keep his name lower case cause he sucks.

Thank you for taking your time out to explain all about the game, I really appreciate you, my brother!

I see big trouble brewing with this defense and it's just a matter of time.
