Next morning thoughts (Long)

If Martel is not the starter, any chance we put in a special package for him each game? I think they did that with him at OSU.

I got a chance to watch our guys yesterday with the family. It was my two year old first time seeing the team. She loved Sebastian. Lol. Now that spring is over, below are some thoughts regarding yesterday and the spring holistically. Please forgive all grammatical errors because I am not going to check for them before I press "post thread." I am still a little hung over from both alcohol and "kid stuff." F'uck all of these **** Orlando parks and ****. These kids have absolutely drained ya boy! Lol

QB Leader
I have maintained that I do not have any favorites and like most rational thinking people, I don't think that the QB battle is anywhere close to being decided. I do, however, believe that Perry is the leader in the club house going into the summer workouts. Here's why:
1. He started out the spring with the 1st team because the coaches said that he worked the hardest in off season workouts.
2. At first, our dumb *** Miami reporters were saying that it's a two man race between Perry and William's. Now geniuses are saying its between Perry and Martell. Both are dumb accessments. But much like every joke, there is normally some truth to be found. The common denominator was always Perry. The coaches have shown much of the same which leads me to my next point...
3. Via coach speak, the coaches are all going to give the same political type of answers, and they have valid reason for doing so (Motivation tactics, transfer management, etc...) However, Perry remained the QB who took the majority of 1st team reps throughout the spring. In long, he started out the spring with the coaches trotting him out as the QB with the first string and he finished the spring with the coaches trotting him out as the first QB with the first string.
4. He had the best showing and was the most consistent in the 3 scrimmages.
My man @Sigma_Cane_7 put it best, Kosi has always had a rifle for an arm, but now that rifle has a scope on it!

Nesta ol Nesta
He is a flat out bully! He plays like a bully but he acts even more like one, which I think can be almost as important. Think of people like Dennis Rodman, Warren Sapp, Bill Laimbeer etc... Nesta never stops talking s'hit,....Never! Whether he is the one making a play or not, he is go in ng to talk s'hit. If the offense gets a pre-snap penalty, he has a dance that he does and then he talks made s'hit, all before the next snap. He does this with ever pre-snap penalty. If he is the one that makes a play, look out! Psychologically, his style of play and personality will wear on you mentally. I picture him as the crazy guy that sees you in the street and ask you "are you the ma****er that shot my mama and got my girl pregnant."

He is going to be a great one!!!

Martell
The hate needs to stop for several reasons, but if for nothing else, the guy can f'ucking ball. He struggled early on but he finished very strong, and that should count more than his initial struggles. He had a GREAT spring game! He made some true on the money throws and was very decisive regarding when to run. He has an "it" factor that can't be taught. There were people in my section, (black, white, and Hispanic) that were literally talking s'hit about him before he even took a snap. The s'hit was ridiculous. I am glad he shut them the f'uck up with his great performance yesterday. HE IS LEGIT!!! Summer workouts will be fun to follow this year because we have a true QB battle on our hands!

D-Line
LOL at every O-Line that has to face our D-Line, especiallythe DE's! Harvey is a **** monster and to think he is not yet at the level of Garvin and Rousseau, is absolutely scary. Oh, and Hill is not even on campus yet! Patchen will also provide quality depth. Again, LOL at opposing O-Lines!

Linebacker Depth
We desperately need the portal to continue to show us favor. Joyner, I think will a good one, and hopefully Huff and Brooks can come in and hit the ground running. Either way, we need a couple of gifts from the portal.

TE's/WR's
KJ Osborn is a godsend! He is the best addition on the team and I honestly think he is going put the country on notice going into next year's draft. Mallory is equally as impressive as a TE, and many will argue that Osborn and Mallory are the second best at the positions respectively. ****!

Final thought
Overall, in our very basic, vanilla offense that was on display yesterday and throughout the spring, our offense looks like it came from 50 years in the future, compared to what we had to deal with in recent memory. I also don't think that our defense will take a huge step back like many are predicting, if the even take a step back at all! They are that good! I am going into the summer feeling very optimistic about August 24th!

Nice, solid overview Reg. Somebody giving us a decent overall picture that is realistic.

Love Nesta becoming a nasty Sapp type dude.

You hydrate, rest. The Canes need to work out hard this summer and get ready to bust some *** this next year. Besides banging on Gator skulls week 1. we need to show as a team that we are better than our last year's garbage record.

Canes!

As for my son, I have a quick story from yesterday. I made the comment that I could not tell if we had any commits or targets on the sideline. My son, Austin, asked me "what's a commit?" I kept it simple and told him that a commit is a player that is not in college yet but has promised our coaches that they will be playing for Miami's football team when they get to college. He responded by asking, "Can you take me to the coach so I can promise him that I will play for Miami?"

I was thinking the same thing earlier today. This QB comp is SO FAR from over. And whoever wins better be able to hang onto it with his play on saturdays. There is competency and a coach that demands excellence. The standard is set.

Also agree on Nesta. Most talented DT we have had here since maybe big Vince? And if he’s coached right, and he works hard, he can be an AA next year.
 
I laughed at the park fatigue line. Can you imagine paying an extra 150 per person at Universal so you can wait for a half an hour instead of 90 minutes for the rides? What a ripoff.
Good to see a great Cane family repping in Otown.

@reg Did ya see Friersons closing Speed?

Did I? I was trying to have a conversation with the guy in front of me about it, but he was not as thrilled as I was. That was my first time seeing Frierson in person. I was a big fan of Gilbert based on his film and pedigree, but now that I've seen him in person, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Gore is going to be proud of Gilbert carrying the torch.

@reg my man you were sitting right in front of me and my family! Looks like you even got my son and I in the 2nd quarter (below). You have a beautiful family and well behaved kids. Like you, I walked away relatively confident in the performance. Great day for a spring game!

I love it! That's crazy! I appreciate the kind comments. I loved when our section booed the FSU fan!

Nice write-up Reg. Love what I'm hearing about Nesta. He's gonna terrorize mf'ers for years to come. As far as the QBs go, one thing I think has been overlooked is the fact that out of Perry, Williams, & Martell, Perry has had the lowest level of QB coaching of the 3 - by far - when you consider their HS & college careers. Jarren had private coaching from Quincy Avery, Martell learned under Meyer & Day...Kosi played in a backyard spread offense in HS & had Mark & Jon Richt as his developers at the U. Bottom line, it's likely that Perry has the most room for improvement & will see the biggest jump in his game under Enos. I don't think we know how good he can be just yet. One thing that's obvious: Enos is a game changer & all of our QBs will be light years better than they were before. Great pictures by the way, you guys are beautiful!

Great post and thank you.

Regarding the above bolded part of your post, I can honestly say that I never thought about it like that, and I can't recall it being discussed on this board. That's a very strong topic of discussion.

I am excited about all 3 QB's, in which you've brought up another reason to be optimistic about that group!
