Players snap count vs Notre Dame

[Schnelly'sPipe]

CJ Daniels: 58 snaps
Keelan Marion: 55 snaps

These boys were not only getting open and making nasty snags they were making downfield blocks like I have never seen at Miami

They are experienced transfers so expected but I believe they outperformed everyone's expectations week one. Edit:did not mean to include Toney

 

[Gables Canes]

Would love to see some Booker Pickett the next couple of weeks

Marion played a ton of snaps, but perhaps the best way to use him is to stay under the radar - let the defense adjust/fall asleep, and then he burns them for a 50+ deep shot. Saw that play out where Baby Jesus started to garner a ton of attention in the 2nd half, and Marion was *going to* hit on that bomb late in the 4th if not for the DPI.

Brantley is dealing with a credits issue from Michigan State. Nothing serious and we'll see him very soon.

OK. That was my first takeaway seeing this. I don't think we're going to play 5 corners plus Scott a billion plays a game, but seeing him not get a single snap and I didn't hear anything about him not being dressed was surprising.

9 snaps from JoJo, so this was just an ankle then and he will ramp up more going forward?

Yes. 55 to 9 is not going to hold all season in terms of Marion's snaps versus Jojo's. Although Marion played well, nothing against him. But Jojo, when fully healthy and acclimated, will play much more than 9 snaps.

I don't see Daniels or Toney's snaps going down. IMO those 2 will lead the receivers in snaps for the season. But Jojo and Marion will be much closer than what it was Sunday night.

I wonder when Brantley comes back if we see Brown get snaps at Nickle

 

[Cribby]

Taylor really came in for one play, got swallowed up on a blitz, and hit the bench lol

I heard he was in two deep and I was like that’s not good

Yea jojo should over take those reps soon and we need more young guy snaps at linebacker over chase and toure

Over Toure? I thought he was awesome except for the coverage bust, which admittedly was a huge play. But that dude isn't coming off the field much the rest of the year, he was outstanding in the run game. Extremely active and violent.

Markeith was terrible last season and has thankfully been passed up.
Mack's had injury issues.
And Jones just doesn't appear ready (at least not yet).

Jones is injured as well. Before the injury he was making a real push to be in the rotation.

 

[Hstokes1447]

McConathy???

Still recovering, but should see action soon. I think as the season goes in we will see Blount playing even more DT snaps and McConathy and Lowe will start to take those backup DE snaps behind Bain

 

[Hstokes1447]

He was in street clothes - probably easing him back.

Blount’s DT/DE snap split is interesting.

Blount is a future DT, just still in a DE body. I really like seeing him play both positions, can’t wait to see him make a few plays and start playing with more confidence.

CJ Daniels: 58 snaps
Keelan Marion: 55 snaps
Malachi Toney: 49 snaps

CJ was out there completely cooking Leonard Moore, but the separation is backed into Dawson’s scheme, that why I wasn’t worried about WR at all. Guys will always be open in this system, as long as Miami has an accurate QB receiver will always eat in this system.

 

[Hstokes1447]

That would be ideal. Brown has been getting reps at Nickel in camp

 

[Glow]

He dont really have a backup

How physical does the DC need that spot to be, can the backup be any of the bigger corners or is Pruitt closer to being the backup than a big outside corner?

 

[Paparazzi Tripp]

Jojo Trader: 9 snaps

Did he get hurt?

He’s coming off the injury from camp. We will see more of him for sure.

 

[Paparazzi Tripp]

That’s a nice rotation. Especially with Moore coming in as a taller target

 

[The Sphinx]

I absolutely love these conversations about depth and rotations rather than our proverbial, ‘Dear God, please don’t let Player X go down because if so we are screwed.’

Really refreshing and great position for our program to be in.
