It's off season talk......everyone is a first rounder at this time for every school. It's to get the fans optimistic to spend money. 90% of cfb power five fans thinks they have a legit staff and good players. I'm sure fsu thinking they will go 15-0 as well and we know they suck ***.I seriously think these guys are just trolling us sometimes.
.... Wait til September, we'll see.
I would say he knows more then u sir.....LCE ain't one of us who make some dumb *** post. LCE be on point with his **** most of the time
I don’t think Manny has a seniority issue at all. The only reason some older, less-talented players were on the field is because he didn’t recruit better replacements.
Shaq, Pinckney and McCloud played early. He benched Blades for Couch. The only real seniority issue I can think of was Patchan initially starting over Rousseau, and that was injury-related. Rousseau got the job quickly and Patchan bounced.
Manny said McCloud might play a Trent Harris role. That makes the most sense at this stage. His issue is going to setting the edge.
Your welcome, I have to get LCE coffee ready and a sammich. It's my dutyThanks Mrs. El.
I'll bet you a cold beer that DJ Ivey does not start at corner and Jamal Carter does not start at Safety.
Meaningful snaps? We'll see. But those kids don't take snap 1 vs Bama, and to be totally frank I'd be pretty surprised if they play a ton of snaps, barring injuries/suspensions/Covid, whatever.
Jennings and McCloud would be a little hairier to me, because I don't think the kids behind Jennings are especially excellent and McCloud is 400 years old. I know both kids will play, but Jennings might start, IMO there's no way McCloud starts on the edge. Maybe if we didn't sign Deandre Johnson, but he's gonna play 1 spot and McCloud won't beat out the rest of the bunch for the other spot.
I cannot even tell you how disappointed I'll be to see Ivey, Carter, or McCloud start and play a large percentage of snaps to start the year off. I hope you're way wrong. We shall see.
Ivey is going to start lolPencil in McCloud as a starter at SDE.
DeAndre will be playing the rotational role that Trent Harris/Trevon Hill played. And Harvey will be the guy at WDE.
Also expect a big dose of BJ Jennings & DJ Ivey all year too lol The Safeties will remain Bolden, Hall & Carter, the young Safeties will only play 3rd team & mop up duty.
Seniority always wins with Manny.
IDK D$, there's just too much Evidence against this
Manny plays politics and seniority
- Pope/Wiggins over Smith/Redding/Restrepo/Payton (Anyone else) Freshman all had COVID issues and no spring
- Patchan over Rousseau Rousseau was coming off an injury
- Knowles over Hall/Frierson
- Pat Bethel over Nesta/Ford Nesta was also injured
- Ragone (lol) over Brooks/Huff (Anyone else) This one is a head scratcher. Ragone should never see the field
- Mccloud & Jennings over TAC/Flagg/Brooks/Huff (Anyone else) All these linebackers had issues
- Jhavonte Dean over Blades/Ivey Ivey is starter material now? which is it?
- Ford over JHH Ford was solid. JHH came on strong and then had to miss 4 games
- Sciafe & Clark over Rivers
- Amari Carter over Hall/Harrell/Balom
The list goes on and on
Very safe bet by you considering Jamal left 4 years ago.
I'll focus on the defense because that's where he's been most involved:Manny plays politics and seniority
- Patchan over Rousseau
- Knowles over Hall/Frierson
- Pat Bethel over Nesta/Ford
- Ragone (lol) over Brooks/Huff (Anyone else)
- Mccloud & Jennings over TAC/Flagg/Brooks/Huff (Anyone else)
- Jhavonte Dean over Blades/Ivey
- Ford over JHH
- Amari Carter over Hall/Harrell/Balom
I agree, but it will because TRob loves him.Ivey is going to start lol
I get we all tired of Zach but if he is playing better than cam he should play over himDL should be
1st Team -
DE - Harvey
DT - Nesta
DT - JHH (Ford or Miller against heavy run teams)
DE - Johnson
2nd Team -
DE - Chantz Williams
DT - Roberts
DT - Taylor (Ford or Miller against heavy run teams)
DE - Cam Williams
Mccloud shouldn't even be in the picture
Can we pin all of this so we can put these fan theories to bed?I'll focus on the defense because that's where he's been most involved:
Rousseau played over Patchan, which caused Patchan to transfer. The only reason Rousseau didn't start the first game is because he had battled an injury in camp.
Hall played much more than Knowles. He was our second-leading tackler. Frierson does not play safety.
Bethel played because he was better at that time. Note that our rushing defense dropped from 21st to 75th when he left. We could've used his discipline against UNC.
Brooks has played much more than Ragone. Unfortunately, he has battled injuries and has not performed particularly well. Huff is struggling to pick up the defense, which is why he got passed so quickly by Flagg.
This is a bad recruiting issue, not a seniority issue.
See above. Flagg also played a lot despite no offseason and catching COVID in the middle of the season.
Blades and Ivey weren't Day 1 starter talents. Note that Couch beat out the more-senior Blades last year.
JHH was starting (as a RS-freshman) when he got hurt, despite still being raw.
Hall plays more snaps than any safety. Harrell just got moved to CB because he wasn't playing that well. Balom is a three-star true freshman in a COVID year who still got meaningful snaps.
IMO, most of the frustration comes from bad recruiting, not seniority. We need to keep recruiting better young players. A full offseason should also help.
Is ivey that good in practice?I agree, but it will because TRob loves him.
He has told multiple people that Ivey reminds him of Jaycee Horn, minus the confidence. TIFWIW, but TRob is a straight shooter and not afraid to criticize a player.
