Man, we just don’t have any chemistry on offense right now, and it’s killing us. You can feel it every drive, it’s like the pieces don’t fit together. We’ve got all this talent, all these explosive players, but there’s no rhythm, no flow.
Every time we line up, the entire stadium knows where the ball is going on a run down. While the blocking schemes might vary a little with inside zone one play, power the next, it still ends up the same way. Best believe it’s going right through the A or B gap. That’s it. It’s predictable. And it doesn’t fit what our backs do best. We’ve got powerful yet fast running backs who should be gliding, cutting, making people miss in space. Instead, they’re getting swallowed up between the guards before the play even develops. It’s like we’re handcuffing our own athletes with a scheme that refuses to evolve.
We also lack chemistry in the passing game. Why recruit players like Carr, JoJo, Ray Ray, Lofton, Moore, and Johnson if you’re not going to use their strengths? These guys can stretch the field, win one-on-one matchups, and create separation, but we don’t put them in positions to do it. Ray Ray and Toney should be terrorizing defenses every week.
In those two running back sets we like to run, I’d make Lyle, Brown, and Fletcher the fullbacks and slide Marion to tailback. Now when we run that flare screen, it’s Marion catching it in open space, forcing defenses to keep eyes on him every snap. You hit that a few times and defenses are suddenly frozen and the run game opens wide up. Because if they’re not paying attention to that flare, Marion is housing one easily.
I would also play Ray Ray and Toney together to put the fear of God in defenses. I would motion Ray Ray on the jet sweep Forcing defenses to keep eyes on him. You can fake the jet sweep and isolate him on a backer or slower safety giving him or Toney an ideal match up.
The way we rotate running backs, no one can get a rhythm. Just make Lyle and Fletcher your Primary backs and Brown your third down back because he has great hands. Also using him as your closer.
If Miami is serious about winning, they have to find chemistry at wideout. Sometimes you need the right lineup to bring everything together. JoJo has to play. No more mind games and BS coaching talk. We desperately need what he brings, a slippery, greasy receiver who slides and glides into open areas of the defense. He’s the kind of guy who can turn a broken play into a highlight and keep the chains moving when nothing else is working.
It’s not even about play-calling at this point; it’s about chemistry. Nobody looks confident or in sync. When the timing between the QB and receivers is off, the offense looks flat and that’s exactly what we saw against Louisville.
We’ve got the athletes to hang with anyone, but until this offense finds its identity and starts playing as one, it’s going to keep looking disjointed. You can’t win games when your best playmakers aren’t getting touches and your unit doesn’t move with purpose.
