Practice Q&A

[Canesfan1899]

Where is Malik Bryant playing and how is he looking?

 

[Trav]

They will both be big parts of the offense. I've always viewed Lyle more as a Melvin Bratton and Fletcher as an Alonzo Highsmith (not saying they are as good, but in terms of role and skillset).

Funny you should mention those 2. They made a lot of big time plays in big games but their overall numbers weren't amazing. I think it's fair to expect Lyle and Fletcher to match or exceed their production.

Your projected 3 starters at WR on 8/31?
Your projected 5 starters in secondary on 8/31?

Regarding the 5 secondary, does heatherman utilize a ‘striker/star’? And if so who on the roster fits that mold?

 

[Canesfan1899]

It's not that I doubted it, but now seeing everyone out there healthy, I think we have a chance to be one of the top CB rooms in America.

From liability to that would be a freaking miracle.

 

[MiamisMoperiestMopes]

Would we have won a playoff game and the ACC last season with this years defense and corches?

 

[Cane&Abel]

Has Beck been given the freedom to audible the play call AFTER the huddle has broke ?

And has he been “Mr Check down” as many have said he would be?

 

[YankeesCane]

Anything of note for Cole M?

 

[YUMU]

Where is Tommy Kinsler in year 3?
Is he playable?

 

[MedleyCane]

When will we learn the severity of the most severe injury (to date), which is not an injury to a WR?

And a follow-up: will the amputation be below or above the knee?

 

[Trav]

Tell me about the defensive tackle players. The season rides on them inside. Pause
Be dead *** no capping

Yea this. By my count there are 3 I feel good about and everyone else is totally green. Even one of those aforementioned 3 is unproven at this point.

 

[DNordy]

If you’re Mario, what is the biggest goal of camp? (Aside from avoiding injuries)

 

[Rellyrell]

I have a ?, @DMoney

If @TouchMoney26 & @TheOriginalCane worked together, better odds: Saving Moriah Mills from the asphalt of America or getting injury reports from The Hecht?

Thanks in advance.

WOH NELLIE now you’re speaking my language. 30&5 were the founding fathers.

That's the portal. For everyone sh*tting their pants over this coming freshman recruiting class people forget how good we've been at reloading through the portal the last few years.

Thinking about OL depth and the fact that we're losing a lot after this season, does the current backup OL give you optimism for 2026? I'm thinking about names like Kinsler, Okunlola, Minaya, Plazz, Buchanan, Alofaituli, etc.

Yea just want to know if we have a first rounder type there

I checked my top 10,000 worries and the 2026 OL prognosis on 8/6/25 wasn't on there.

This wasn't a thread about worries. It was a thread about questions. Most of the obvious have already been asked - so I decided to ask about OL depth.

You said everything you needed to say “big time plays in big time games” = BALLERS, we were spoiled, and there were many others that delivered on the grandest of stages. Pure numbers mean something but they don’t tell the complete story. That gets written with time.
