My Post game recap

Thriller has been a shutdown CB. Teams be afraid throw on him. The out route was a play where the DB CAN'T make a play on the ball without getting DPI. It was a great throw and a great route.

Good ball placement too and really hard to defend, that was literally the only time he was beat yesterday other than that he was shut down

Great recap LCE!

Chaz Sewer Rat and Captain Jack Spicer is classic!

Were there some negatives? Absolutely. But when the positives far outweigh the negatives, we have to be encouraged.

The defense was a human highlight reel. With all the splash plays on D, the O didn't get much time on the field. I heard the O only had a total of 35 plays late into the 4th. And it kept a lot of pressure off Perry in his first start. There were several shots of Perry waving his arms trying to fire up the crowd and going up and down the bench encouraging his guys.

Got to give some props to Rosier. He had a headset on the entire game and seemed very engaged giving signals and celebrating with both the O & D.

Now onto FSU week. Chop to flop!

Nope. the INT was on Him...it's not wise to throw the ball into the seams vs a Quarter Safety. It's the same thing He did vs FIU, except Harley bailed em' out. The few times I've seen Him come off His 1st read, He's either thrown it into double coverage, or thrown an INT like He did tonight.

This. I'm sure it will be corrected through film review and additional practice/game reps. Seems like the type of thing a young QB just needs to learn by experience and repetition.

Offense:
N'Kosi Perry - 8/12 125yds 66%cmp 1TD 1INT 1Fum 6att 26yds
Deejay Dallas - 11att 114yds 1TD
Travis Homer - 14att 88yds
Mike Harley - 2rec 70yds
Darrell Langham - 3rec 33yds 1TD
Brian Hightower - 1rec 13yds
Choc Gray - 2att 3yds 1TD

Offense gained 354yds total 229yds rushing at 6.7ypc as a team & going 3/6 on 3rd down.

Homer & Deejay had some great runs, they put the offense on their back, ran tough & made big plays. That was a great cutback by Homer on the 56yd run & Deejay had some real nice ones all night as well. I really love how we run blocked this game, after last year only rushing for 59yds we absolutely made it point to pound the rock against this weak run Defense & we did.

Perry started off hot again with some really nice throws especially the comeback route to Hightower. The degree of difficulty & ability to execute the intermediate passing game is what is what sets him apart. His continuity with Harley is already paying off, once he gets in sync with JT4 this passing attack will be deadly. Couple of great throws to Langham & a nice TD too.

**** of a throw to Harley, he threw that thing on a rope, on the run while rolling to his left, (once again degree of difficulty). He could've easily went with the check down to Brevin (which was his 1st read), or he could've just ran it for a short gain, but he made a great read & put it in the money to Harley who also made a fantastic catch.

We need to implement some outside Zone Read Option runs with Perry, he doesn't run well within the tackles, get him on the outside with a possible RB to pitch it to in order to freeze that LB & he'll break a few for a big gain. But, even in HS he was never really a runner, his Senior year he rushed for less than 200yds the whole season.

A few teachable moments; On the sack fumble, if he would've gotten it to Homer out of the backfield it would've been a great play on his part. Obviously, it's Perry's 1st start in ACC play & 3rd game total of his career, it'll probably take him some time to recognize as much time in the pocket as you had vs Savannah St & FIU you won't have vs ACC lineman. He'll get that down.

On the INT, very similar situation to last week vs FIU, got too greedy & made an ill-advised throw. He does very well on the quick reads, but one thing he needs to work on is not forcing passes. As DC's get more tape on him they'll start baiting him with those Safety's on the back end. He's still learning how to read Defenses, but he has to drill it in his head, don't fall for the trap... There's always a Safety lurking.

Other than that, the kid has been a great upgrade, when he's in rhythm he's throwing strikes all over the field & his accuracy really opens up the run game allowing us to have that balanced attack to put up scores while sustaining long drives keeping our Defense off the field. We're a much more efficient offense with Perry. Once he gets synchronized on the Deep ball, he'll be carving teams up down the field.

Defense:
- Joseph Jackson 5tcks 1INT 1TD 2FF's 1sack 1TFL
- Zach McCloud 8tcks 2TFL's
- Sheldrick Redwine 7tcks
- Trajan Bandy 6tcks 1.5TFL
- Shaquille Quarterman 5tcks 2sacks 3TFL's 1FF
- Michael Jackson 5tcks 1PD
- Mike Smith 4tcks 2.5TFL's
- Jonathan Garvin 2tcka 2FR's 1TD
- Gerald Willis 4tcks 1TFL
- Michael Pinckney 4tcks
- Amari Carter 3tcks
- Tito Odenigbo 3tcks 1TFL
- Romeo Finley 1INT 1TD
- Jhavonte Dean 1INT

10TFL's in the 1st half 14 total on the game, 3 sacks, 3 Defensive TD's & forced 6 turnovers! DOMINANT performance by the Defense! Held UNC's 2 bum lefty QB's to just 114yds total passing. Nathan Elliott was 16/25 105yds 0TD's 1Fum & Chazz Sewer Rat was 4/10 10yds 3INT's all 3 for TD's.

Our Run Defense still struggles, gave up 89yds in the 1st quarter, over 100yds in the 1st half & 215yds total. Michael Carter & Sewer Rat had too many runs for big gains in the 1st quarter. That's something we really need to get fixed as we roll through ACC play, because a few offenses we face down the line (UVA in particular) will give us a real problem with those QB runs.

Other than that, Defense did a phenomenal job putting heavy pressure on UNC. Coach Simpson has done a great job coaching the DL's up. Thus far, he's been a great addition to the staff & has made us more attack prone than we were with Kool.

That was a great hit by Shaq, & props to Garvin on scoop & score!
On the first run after the we scored the TD with Garvin that was a clear hold on Patchan that didn't get called.
Complete bullsh*t penalty on Willis after getting stop on 3rd down.

Really hope Shaq is healthy, he's the most important player on this Defense as the Mike LB, he cleans up so many plays & is the captain of this Defense alongside JaQuan. He's a tough kid & great leader, he runs this Defense, we need him on the field. Speedy recovery for Shaq!

JJack with the pick 6! JJack played like an absolute monster! He was unblockable & put up a Khalil Mack type performance. Keep in my mind, he's playing hurt with a messed arm & is still killing it.

S/O mi bredren Mike Smith! LION PAW! He played a great game coming off the bench. Zach McCloud played well this game too, he made some nice tackles & has stepped up his play from last year.

Great pick 6 by Rome Finley! He's come along real well this year in his new found role. I'm glad he's being utilized properly.

Please for the love of God, no more Bobby Knowles. I'll pay whatever it costs to get him off the field. He should NOT be playing significant snaps in any game, only Special teams. Just give his snaps to Gurvan Hall or Derrick Smith, D Smith doesn't even really play Striker for us, Finley does. Amari Carter played great in the 1st half idk why Diaz took him off the field for so many plays in the 3rd quarter. I understand he's a vet but got **** man smh lol.

Mike Jack doesn't seem to be playing as he did last year. I know after the FIU game he was graded really high, but so far I don't see him breaking on routes this season. It looks like he's just not going to get beat deep, but is allowing everything underneath. Not saying he's bad, made a nice PD on one play, just saying I think he can be better than he's been & yes I know he's been pretty good.

S/O to Jhavonte Dean on the pick, I doubted him all offseason & felt that we should be playing one of the 3 TF's ahead of him, but clearly I was wrong & will hold my L on that. He's played pretty well thus far with 2 picks on the season & has had multiple opportunities for more.

My predictions for the game was Miami wins 37-16 rushing for over 150yds, passing for 260 & on Defense getting 4 sacks 8TFL's & 2INT's. We scored 33 in the 1st HALF! 21 points from the Defense & an incredibly effective rushing Offense.

I gotta give major props to Coach Richt on going with the QB change, I honestly didn't think we would see much of the backup QB's this year aside from garbage time in a few games, but he made the right decision in going with Perry. His arm talent is just so much better than Rosier's it increases the efficiency of the Offense sevenfold.

Don't wanna get too ahead of myself because even with how good Perry has played thus far, he's bound to make more mistakes & have a down game some time this season. However, his ceiling is much higher & so is his floor. So when Perry does eventually have a bad game, I doubt it'll be 42%cmp bad. Just needs to work on protecting the ball more.

Also really happy to see Captain Jack Spicer (don't know if that's his nickname or not, but it is now lol) get the shot to be the new Punter. Not going to beat a dead horse with Feagles we know how bad it's been, just good to see this staff isn't forced to play him due to lack of depth.

Can't wait for FSU! We haven't blown them out since 01 & I sense this game is the perfect time to do it. Those weak *** batty boy dancy man dem are not ready for War! I say we beat them into submission & force them to quit early, so we can run the clock out in the 4th quarter!

CRUSH FSU! GO CANES!

Great stuff. LCE's post-gamers are on par with Dan E. Dangerously's old pre-gamers.

Take away the 3 defensive TDs Rosier plays tonight.

Nah dude. Those defensive TDs took drives away from our O. Perry did good. Even his int shoulda been a reception. He had only a few plays in the second half before they started just running the clock out.

You're right about the O not playing that much in the 2nd half, we only had 26:48 time of possession to UNC's 33:12 & only ran a total of 46 plays the entire game to UNC's 75.
 
Said this in D Money's thread too, but I think that it's really encouraging that our defense was able to play so aggressively and effectively, with all of the big plays we made, without Jaquan Johnson, arguably our best defensive player. He usually makes a ton of plays in the run game to turn possibly big runs into less than 10 yard runs, so I've got to think there were a few plays last night that he may have made to limit UNC's longer running plays. With him almost certainly back next week against FSU, that obviously puts our defense in an even better position to attack FSU's weak offense.

I definitely agree that Jaquan being out played a big factor.

But our run Defense overall has always been inconsistent under Manny, it's usually we give up big yards early then make adjustments 2nd half & shut it down, which we did vs UNC.

I just think it's a problem that could rear its ugly head once we play a better Offense with much more efficient QB's & a better OL.

Yeah, agree with that. Our defenses, even full strength, have tended to have points in games, like you said usually in the 1st half, where we get gashed, and as many on this board have analyzed, is a byproduct of our aggressiveness, sometimes over aggressiveness, in shooting gaps, or failing to maintain discipline in our run fits. Jaquan has been effective in keeping some of those mistakes from being huge gains, but even when he plays we still are susceptible to some big running plays.

It was a good performance. Thank the God's that they couldn't hold on to the football.

I wasn't happy that we only outgained them by 25yds and we gave up 215 yds on the ground.

A better corched team would have given us fits.

I think we would've out gained them by much more if the Offense was actually on the field, we only had 46 plays total the whole game as an Offense, most of which was in the 1st half.

Defense played phenomenal causing pressure & forcing turnovers, but Run Defense is still a concern.

They had 24 first downs against us and about 7mins more TOP.

That could be one reason that we didn't get to run more plays.

We also ran the ball so much because the Defense needed time to sit. They were out there for forever because they kept scoring.
