He will.

Everybody is sleeping & ready to burn the kid, but I'm telling you, nobody has put in more work than him during this shutdown, he's literally out there every single day, no exaggeration.

I would love that. Who do you like of the Freshman WR’s to do some things? Are you figuring Restrepo as a DB or a WR?

Redding, Keyshawn Smith & Restrepo. I'm not very high on Daz playing as a TF, but due to lack of depth & he'll probably play more than expected.

And X is 100% a slot WR, I said it from day 1, even when there was a heavy push on the board for him to play DB I was saying Slot WR all day. My comparison for him is Michael Campanaro at Wake Forest. He can be a dynamic short area WR that can move the chains & work the seams, I also would like to see him at Punt Returner.

Daz supposedly looked good in spring practice

People can take the ,“ I heard this before bro” approach all they want BUT I’m buying whatever the **** coach rob likens is saying too without question... He just coached a first round receiver in last draft nkeal Harry and is about to put another one in at the end of the first round probably in Brandon aiyuk who was was one of the most explosive receivers In the country last season. He knows what it is supposed to look like

I remember that Campanaro. I hated that little twerp. Seemed to feast pretty good against us in the slot.

You & me both fam.

You've seen it like I have, the boy has been out there every. single. day. Even today this morning he was out there again grinding putting in work. It will pay dividends.

****, in the few instances where he did play last year he showed he could make plays, I think people just can't compute that the offense he played in last year was not inducive to his skill set.

Every player on the team not named Greg Rousseau and Lou Hedley. I’d rather see the 3 freshmen WR and Payton get more time than Pope and Wiggins.

I think Holley Harrison-Hunte Blissett And Harvey have something to prove. I’ve been hearing about the abuse they have been giving to the first string offensive line last season. Wanna see if these guys are the real deal!

Especially Holley and his dance moves
 
All the LB’s, but would love to see my man Steed finally get out on the field for the Canes. He should know the scheme up and down, just a matter of faith in his knee and getting him reps reps reps and more reps. Unfortunately, the Rona not helping.

Go Canes!

Will Mallory- After a dominant spring and fall camp, most people inside the program expected a huge season from Mallory. It didn’t happen, and he disappointed with his hands and lack of physicality. But there were signs of promise. In the four games Brevin Jordan missed to end the season, Mallory averaged 55.75 receiving yards per game. That’s 725 over the course of a season, which would have put him 4th in the country among TEs. The key will be cleaning up the drops and get getting tougher. Greg Olsen got off to a rocky start as a Cane and recovered. We will see how Mallory adapts.

Nesta Silvera- An injury put Silvera behind the curve as a sophomore and he never fully caught up. He struggled using his hands and moving laterally, which is essential at his size. It can’t be all bullrush at this level. The good news is that DTs usually develop later and Nesta was dominant in the first week of spring. Time will tell if that is real improvement or victimizing overmatched interior OL.

Kai-Leon Herbert- Injuries and illness have stunted Herbert’s development. He’s lost valuable practice time, and it showed when he hit the field against Duke. The physical tools are there- his high school testing numbers are comparable to Ezra Cleveland (one of the best OL athletes in the upcoming draft). Herbert rotated with Zion Nelson at RT in spring and the early returns are promising under his third OL coach.

Zach McCloud- My two biggest concerns on defense are replacing Shaq Quarterman and an overall lack of physicality. McCloud can address both. He is a thumper and a physically developed fifth-year player. His instincts and IQ will determine his success. Too often he was late to pull the trigger, which caused his athleticism to play down. He is relatively new to MLB and that position suits him better than striker.

Gurvan Hall- Last year was supposed to the breakout after an outstanding fall camp. While he wasn’t bad (55 tackles, 2 sacks and an INT), he didn’t take the next step. Sheldrick Redwine, Jaquan Johnson and Rayshawn Jenkins didn’t make the leap until their third years or later, which bodes well for Hall if he keeps studying the game under Coach Banda and Ed Reed.

Which players do you want to see make the next step in 2020?

Perfect list.

I'd add Mike Harley.

I'll go with Jon Ford. He's made small, gradual improvements yearly but has never taken the big leap into dominance. If him, or any DT can blow up plays consistently it can make our D line practically unstoppable.

this is the right answer for defense. Jon Ford becoming dominant will give us an unstoppable d-line which will trickle into boosting the performances of the back 7.
