My Post game recap

Never, ever, ever, ever sleep on FSU. That’s your first mistake.

Records and talent don’t matter in this game. They will be ready...talent or Taggart aside. Heck we were pushing those Jameis led teams to the limit with Al Golden! Let that sink in!

You best believe that game will be a dogfight.

We definitely shouldn't sleep on FSU. What we should do is foster a strong hunger and desire to absolutely destroy them. Realize that this game can be a dogfight, but also just build the confidence in ourselves to know that we can execute and the hunger to want to embarrass them.

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!

I totally agree , per usual.

I’m watching the replay and noticed Perry never keeps zone read up the middle. And there’s literally nobody there. It would be huge gains, I’m sure he’s making read off the de most times but it’s something the staff will pickup on.

The only real negative ( other than Diaz going Diaz ) was missed tackles. It was atrocious, Carter had an awful game. There was one play where there was like 5-6 missed tackles on one way. Luckily everyone was hustling to the ball. It was still a tfl.

I’d prefer Diaz calming down the blitzes, uss more man press and just pin the dl’s ears back.

I was impressed again by the ol run blocking , also the short yardage struggles seem over.

Good win , but we gotta be better. FSU is a rivalry game and they’ll bring it.

Agree with everything except that Amari had an awful game, I thought he played well in coverage, he took a bad angle on a missed tackle, but he was in no way awful imo.

I thought he had a bad “tackling” game , everytime I turn around I see him flying by missing a tackle , barely getting a hand on guys. Which I don’t expect from him.

If that been Knowles last night people on here would’ve lost their ****.
 
Fine to enjoy a nice win, but we shouldn't be valuing it more than it is worth. That UNC team is in the discussion for worst power 5 team in the country right now, and the only game left on their schedule they are favorites in is probably western Carolina, and considering they already got raped by another directional Carolina mid major, I am not putting money on them.

I expect to comfortably beat FSU, but it is a rivalry game and will not be surprised if it is closer than we want and think right now

How many games does Rosier have a competition percentage over 60%? I’ll wait!!!
Click to expand...

How many games did Rosier come out the half and throw an INT & fumbled the ball?

How many games did Rosier run around like a chicken with it's head cut off and throw up a punt INT?

Even Richt said He only played a good half of football...stop acting like He's a finished product...kid still has a whole lotta learnin' to do.
 
Perry can run if he has too but after watching him take that one hit and fumble really scares me. Kid needs to gain some weight before he can be a true dual threat

Man yall scared of FSU lol.

Just go rewatch the Va Tech & Cuse games, this isn't the FSU teams of old, this team quits & has a locker room full of selfish players that haven't bought into Taggart at all.

Idc what yall say we rollin'em up! They gone dance they asses all the way back to trailerhasse after we whoop'em for 4 quarters. No doubt in my mind!

Your confidence is noteworthy because you keep **** real. I agree with you, if we do our thing, we break a very soft FSU squad quickly.

I'll tell you my biggest concern-- Punting. They have good athletes. Better athleticism than anyone we'll see in the ACC ex-Clemson. Free field position always levels the playing field.
 
Great write up LCE. Zach McLoud did play well last night. It should wonders for his confidence. I hope he keeps getting better.

Go Canes!
 
Why isn't Burns getting any carries? At the end of camp Thomas Brown said Burns was the most improved RB

I liked the way we played for the most part.
Only thing I will add is the same thing I said last week. I like the I formation and want to see more of it. (Not only in short yardage and redzone.)
I also want to see Lo and Cam get some carries but other than that there's really not much to complain about.

Defensively we finally cashed in on some TOs. It was fantastic to see
Loved the stat that was mentioned about us not losing a game since 2009 when scoring a Defensive TD. Hopefully we score on D every game from now on.

NC had a big run early in the game where their RB with the dreads got around Shaq and everyone in the game day thread was dogging shaq for being to slow to get there, but in reality, Shaq flushed him outside to Carter. Only problem is Carter was being manhandled by a skinny WR, and RB just ran right around him...
 
Agreed Amari Carter didnt have a good night last night. Bad run fits and poor tackling
