Observations after a week of practice

Forgetting Perryman. But the overall point we need better LBs is spot on. I don’t think we should count on Pruitt until he proves to be Spence level good. Go get a proven baller and then see if Pruitt steps up to win snaps.

Spence was such a beast. The last true Miami LB we have had including Shaq. The way he played, the speed he played with, the way he looked on the field, everything about him was what you think of when you think of a Miami LB.

I get what you saying, but Perryman was pretty **** good.

He’s in the conversation. Mauigoa is the best NFL prospect and a monster. He’s probably the guy you take. But Lofton does everything at a high level. He can run routes, catch, run the ball, and block.

Those two are championship players.

Need a lot more of those
 
The way Heatherman likes bigger DL, I expect Bain, Mesi, Blount, McConaty and Lowe as the DE's. Bain and Mesi are the ones closer to the size he likes. For those who think Bain is to small to play inside, Bain was heavier than Mesi last season at 280, basically the same. Bain would need to gain back that 10 lbs, but he can play inside. Please keep Horton and Chase healthy. Heatherman used a smaller stand up 3rd DE last season which was 245 lbs. I like Bryant for that. They have played Pruitt at LB and Star last week. I will guess he moves to star because his size. That's what I would do. I will guess Damari is moved to S. He has to prove he can stay healthy. I have said, I bring in a MIke and a S from the portal. I am excited.

CMac criminally underrated by this fanbase

No, dude was an arm tackling machine and if you ever had to deal with his crap on campus, you’d understand why a lot of people weren’t sad to see him leave.

Was he talented? Yes, but he thought he was the second coming of Dan Morgan, and wasn’t even close. Compare him to Denzel Perryman, who was not only a better player, but a better human being. Sean Spence is more the forgotten guy, he was a nasty, nasty football player that you could always depend on. It was a shame he was wasted by incompetent staffs.

Future NFLer yes, but let's hope the holding calls decrease this year.

He got nailed with some weak calls last year. Dude was called for holding multiple times for merely mauling a guy. It was like the ref couldn’t believe that someone could get whipsawed like that without a penalty taking place…

Spence was elite. I don’t know if he’s forgotten by our fan base. His name is often mentioned in the posts for most underrated or under appreciated players.

While CMAC was not on Spence’s (or Perryman’s) level, he was still very good. The sad fact is that CMAC has been our 3rd or 4th best linebacker in the last 15 years. Behind Spence, Perryman, and maybe Quarterman. Just shows how far our lb play has fallen. Really hoping Heatherman can put a stop to that this year.

Agreed. That’s all I was saying

We have some players like that over the years that were on the heels of so much greatness that they get overlooked for their play. Kenny Phillips kinda fit that mold to me as well. Not comparing KP to CM just saying

After a few years we kinda looked back and were like well KP wasn’t ST or Ed but **** he was good here

With all due respect to McCarthy, if we're saying Shaq isn't a national championship caliber LB, McCarthy doesn't make the grade, either. He was a good run stuffer. I remember him getting smoked in pass coverage. There are some guys on this team right now who have the potential to be better than him. I really hope they take the next step with our new DC.

KP was quality, issue was that he was surrounded by mediocrity and the culture was rotten by that point.
