Our OL doesn’t have the horses or depth Mario wants and now we have injuries to that weak depth

TVD looked great but the reason we lost was due to our inability to have a run game especially when it mattered

He is right is one context. The best way to keep a prolific offense from scoring is keeping them on the bench.

Sadly, he needs to realize he needs to score as well.

Not excusing Big Manny at all; IF Miami had a competent rushing attack like he wants, our Canes are 5-0 and national media is gushing over the "Miracle in Miami".
 
Listening to these coaches obsess about "balance" makes me insane. Instead of wanting to call a game based on what you are able to do to a defense and what they are giving you, these goofballs live in this fantasy world where every week we should have 35-40 rush attempts and 35-40 pass attempts with 275 rush yards and 275 pass yards.

Consequently they call games with the goal of forcing that balance instead of calling games to exploit the defense they face that day.

Balance means you have the ability to do both things well not that you do each the same amount of times each game. Over the course of a season the numbers should balance out if you have built an offense with the ability to do both. Then again, that won't always be the case. Regardless there will be games where you throw 55 times and games where you run the ball 40 plus times. These forced balance cliched philosophies have created a mental prison for a lot of these coaches and it's frustrating to watch.

The goal line **** is the worst. You lineup with no receivers and three tight ends, one of which is a lineman. You’re telling the defense, don’t bother playing the pass. Now the defense has 11 defenders to stop 10 offensive players (TVD isn’t a threat to run)

Could be. And if bigger backs like Chaney and Citizen were healthy, Miami might have a better, at least competent run game. Unfortunately, Mario and staff are stubborn or don’t see the OL is not suited to maul opposing defenses. They need to scheme the run game to make it work.

Which is a little odd to me, given the Miami OLs Mario played on weren‘t maulers. Leon Searcy was the only legit NFL player in that whole group.

I think he can but the OC who had two weeks to change the offense like he did vs UNC (credit where it’s due) still had two weeks to change his Red Zone offense.

He didn’t so I am hoping for 8-4 now but if he doesn’t fix the red zone it’s not going to happen. Ridiculous the run vs 9-10 guys in the box no matter what mentality.

The fact of the matter is no one really cares how you score in the redzone. We've also seen what happens when you try getting cute with passes so I don't fall on either side. My biggest issue was we were told we had best OL coaches in America and they would revamp the OL.
All 85 players and 40 staff members have been unimpressive. Luckily the rest of the schedule leaves a lot of room for error because we only play 1 team that should beat us. My pitchfork is within arms reach but I won't touch it until November.

we had four horrific red zone calls from the 1 yard line bc they were stubborn in their approach down there and have been all year.

no one cares about the attempts just whether its working. we could've ran it 10 more times or even 20 more times Saturday and wed get maybe 20 yards total? yeah youre not doing anything there other than forcing your vision when its clearly not working. if we ran at a high clip, keep going back to it until it can be stopped. not a single poster here cares about whether were balanced or we ran more or passed more, just whether we were in a better position to win. Saturday running the ball was getting you blown out. passing the ball kept you in it. it could be flipped against VT and no one has an issue if you do it w success. the coaches *****ing post game about it leads me to believe what you said

I think Mirabel is a solid OL coach, but his OL room is weak and unathletic. Coaching won’t fix it, attrition and recruiting will.

Miami hasn’t been able to run the ball consistently since Golden had future NFL players and Duke was running.
