One of the understated facets of Manny’s disruption philosophy is that it fails without solid DB play and is greatly enhanced by exceptional DB play. If T Rob and Shop can improve the back 4 this defense will perform dramatically better than previous iterations.

Especially at SS and FS. You need studs back there. Y’all can go back n check the Timeline but I said Quan erased a lot of plays while here

Some thoughts from Lake & Gaby:


- One of the things I noticed was the attention and respect Travaris Robinson warrants when he’s talking. He’s not a big screamer or anything like that, but it just seems like the defensive backs as a whole really tune in and listen when he’s talking, which is something you want to see from a unit that might have underperformed in 2020. Bob Shoop has also been highly invested in what is going on in the secondary and spent a lot of time around the group watching over drills.

Ishmael Aristide has a solid group of guys working there with Gilbert Frierson, Amari Carter and Chase Smith. All three guys showed off their athleticism throughout the 40 minute viewing period. Carter looks like a natural fit, while Smith is probably the most physically gifted of the three. He is long - similar to Frierson, but could potentially be best suited for the weak-side in this defense scheme.

Michael Redding III can make the contested catch. For the second practice in a row, he was a go-to target for Tyler Van Dyke on the long ball and found a way to come up with the grab despite tight coverage from Isaiah Dunson. We saw a lot of the same on Saturday during the last open session, so you like to see the consistency there from the Hurricanes biggest (size/weight) wide receiver. A big step from the second year former blue-chipper would be a treat for the Hurricanes offense

Navaughn Donaldson and Corey Gaynor had the most consistent showings of the offensive linemen during one-on-ones.

Nelson was limited today - worked on the sidelines with Jakai Clark

Whether it’s Redding or someone else, if we really do find someone who can win contested catches it’s going to improve this team more than I can really articulate.

Clemson provided the blueprint last year. Play press man on the outside, and make the receivers win in a phone booth. We had nobody who could do it. Pitt played us the same way. UNC played us the same way. Think Saban watched those games? We MUST find a kid who can make DC’s pay for leaving corners on islands. We literally played 9 on 9 last year. That’s how DCs treated this offense after Clemson. My 2 boundary corners vaporize your outside receivers. Let’s play between the numbers. And we struggled with it. And guess what? King is going to go the right place with the ball 98% of the time. And when defenses play us that way, the right place is vertical on the outside. It’d open up so much for us if we have a kid or god forbid two who can win out there down the field. ****, draw a PI. Just don’t fall down or drop the ball.

I think Key Smith & Redding will be the guys to get those initial 1 on 1's on deep outside plays who can win them for us

Manny and Bob Shoop talking while defensive backs go through drills

They’re doing pass rushing sets with TE/RB’s. Chase Smith just beat Kahlil Brantley bad.

Amari Carter gets passed will Mallory. Corey Flagg held in check by Hodges.

Keontra Smith with a couple nice reps.

All 3 strikers should start. Put smith at will, Carter at mike (I don’t care about his weighs that kid will not be blocked and is physical af) and keep frierson at striker. I trust AmarI at Mike more then anyone else that we have at Mike. get the best 3 at lb/striker

Jennings and Flagg are not cutting it at Mike
