Question for those that know, regarding our WRs

Number1CanesFan said:
Worthless stats. You have to look at each game. We only ran 46 plays against UNC because our defense scored 3 times. We quit throwing the ball when the game was out of hand. Same for other games. We could easily have another 30 -50 passes. I didn't like the play calling but, we threw it 33 times against FSU and 4 TDs with little offense. So, your stats mean jack. What's your point anyway? Our passing game is not a problem. We have our QB, our WRs. Just need some **** blocking and better mix of play calls. The issue isn't the number of throws.

What did you expect from someone with the football acumen of a 13 yr old girl.

That made me laugh.

I totally agree that the short "gimme" passing game needs some juice. Throw it short to guys that can run fast. Perry has looked outstanding for the most part when throwing downfield, but he hasn't shown any touch (and not a ton of accuracy) when throwing screens, drags, etc. That's a lot of easy yards left on the table. At this point I'm willing to assume we'll improve in that department. Against UNC we wisely kept things high percentage, allowing UNC self-destruction to do the work. We aired it out a lot more against FSU, but Perry was inaccurate. I'm willing to chalk that up to nerves of first big start and strong pass rush/weak protection.

This week will be telling. UVa is not a great team, but they won't lay down and die like the Tar Heels. I expect Perry to look calmer and have more opportunity to execute what we're looking for. If he struggles like he did last week, or Richt goes super run heavy, then I think we've got something to talk about there.
 
Wiggins comparable to Ahmmon speed/size ratio. Pope is fast and has great acceleration, not Jeff fast, but plenty fast. Evidence can move too.

Hightower has good speed compared to his size as well.
 
I always liked wiggins, he has that game speed, and drawing 3 pass interference calls against Fsu was comical, he had that db shook, lol. It's a whole lot easier to run routes when you're a great blocking receiver cause the db's arent sure they need to prepare themselves to get blocked or cover, so wiggins had that db on states all game long.

What i luv about wiggins, that man has earned the trust of this coaching so much so, they went to him on 4th & 3. I gotta say this about Ahmon, when it comes to speed, he was our fastest in game widereceiver. I know jeff thomas is fast, but until jeff takes a 5yd route and turn it into a touchdown for over 35yrds or more it's ar82. We saw that man consistenty do it, he did it against UVA, duke west virginia, he was the epitome of being an elite #1 receiver. So right now its the jt money show. But we gone need somebody to step up because im sure teams are going to start consistently double teaming him and trying to force somebody else to step up. This offense was almost where it was suppose to be. Coach dugans will continue to do his thing with the wideouts, adding a hasslewood or t.j. jones wouldnt be bad.

Look at each game? So was Miami going to Miraculously feed all the WRs in one game? LOL.

46 plays against UNC is an excuse. Add 35 plays to that; make half of them passes and complete them at 56% and you still have WR’s not getting the ball enough.

Also I never implied we didn’t throw it enough; I wrote that Miami threw the ball 27x/game … plenty. The issue is the type of passes.

Who said anything about number of throws? The whole post talks about balls caught not attempts?

No fool. They could have thrown more in other games but chose not to run the score up more than they did (i.e. Toledo, FIU, Savannah St., UNC). Number of throws depends on the opponents and the game situation. If you are a team that is way behind in the score, you are going to throw more. Conversely, if you are way ahead, you are going to throw much less.

Sad part is Miami’s WR’s are woefully underutilized. In 6 games Miami has completed 88 passes; that’s less than 15 per game (averaging 27 passes/game).

16 - Thomas … 15 - Harley … 15 - Jordan … 12 - Cager … 9 - Langham … 4 - Hightower …2 - Ezzard … 1 - Polendey … 1 - Wiggins … 1 - Mallory … 0 - Pope

- Elijah Moore has caught 11 passes (2 TDs) and Anthony Schwartz has caught 8 (2 TDs). Both true freshman receivers have individually caught more than Ezzard, Wiggins, Mallory, Pope and Hightower - combined! I didn’t include their running plays.

- Ole Miss has completed 131 passes and Auburn has completed 103. (Use that for reference for those visiting the recruiting thread talking about receivers considering Ole Miss or Auburn...)

- every SEC team except TN, AR and KY have completed more passes than Miami; 9 SEC teams have over 100 completions.

- UNC has 82 completions; Duke, Pitt and Miami are tied with 88 completions every other ACC team except GT has more completions with FSU completing 38 more balls than Miami.

But not to worry, the next time you see Miami start a drive with 2 interior run plays for little or no yardage you can feel heartened by Richt’s commitment to establishing the run. And that “best WR room in the country”? That’s where the trophies are kept because the offense isn’t getting them the ball.

the three defensive scores against UNC and the fact the CMR likes to ice games by running has brought the receptions down. If we play in closer games where our defense doesnt score, the receptions should go up.

That’s stupid on a special level. You don’t read too well do you? Or is it the comprehension that troubles you so? Or just the mental processing?

All of the above, and you’re an idiot.

You won’t get this, and I’ve mentioned it previously, to you, but … MY POST WASN’T NECESSARILY ABOUT THROWING MORE.

Still don’t get? Not surprised, as the questions above surmise, you’re an idiot.

How else do you get completions? An increased completion rate is only going to add a few more catches. Obviously more throws = more catches.
 
Tetragrammaton Cane said:
Not necessarily.

More throws mean more potential for catches, true, but doesn’t necessarily mean more catches - especially, if the throws are NOT high percentage throws.

And increased completion rate will mean more catches, but the boom/bust nature of the offense means more low percentage passes caught (which is exactly how the offense operated last year with Rosier).

More throws are potential catches, but result in real catches unless you complete zero. I think we agree so just leave it a that.

I think he has a problem with the completions or the lack there of, and how we won't be able to sale recruits on how we throw the ball.
 
speed might be over hyped...Berrios was not fast but he was a main factor in scoring last year. Fast helps but I'll take a Howard Twilley type along with the speedsters.

Like it or not mark seems determine to have sec type running attack. We have the backs but not O-Line. We do have great set of WRs and they need to be used
