lol because people think OL taking pictures with their shirt off after a lifting session means they are DOGSAgain I ask what are we doing in the weight room? Guys praise Feeley on this board but we are a weak team.
I think they need to put Campbell in at OG. No way he isn’t one of the top 5. I’ve always wanted to see Scaife at OG, but I’ve seen enough. Move him back to tackle. We have 2 weeks to get a new unit figured out.
Zion is good and I think has promise, but you really think Zion is better than Scaife at tackle at this point?No he isn’t. Zion is and keeps proving it over and over again. He went up against another NFL guy and dominated. The REAL problem is that we’re playing 3 centers on the interior.
Zion has gone up against Patrick Jones, Rashad Weaver, and Snowden from UVA....all NFL guys with Jones probably being a first rounder and hasn’t given up a sack unless the play or protection blew up somehow. Not only is he our best lineman but nobody is even in the same stratosphere on that line.Zion is good and I think has promise, but you really think Zion is better than Scaife at tackle at this point?
FactsHes not a guard. Never was one........his best position is either out wide at Tackle or center. The only reason he s at guard is because he is short. Its acually annoying as ive likely been saying this 3 years now. UGA had a guy who is/was very similar to scaife play Tackle at a high level. The crazy part is John Campbell isnt bad looking at guard...but they keep him out at Tackle because he is 6'5.
GAYNOR isnt much better or better at all he gets B8tch repeatedly. Its not seen as much because he is at center. In fact one of the plays Scaife kind of got bulld ozed was because Gaynor was of no use on the DL game.
Our interior consist of 3 centers....THATS why we cant get much movement inside...add to it LBS jus blitzing the a gaps because we are so predictable on run downs and have a qb that we dont want to run the ball. If thats the case he has to go wild cat a bit more than he has shown
I’ve been saying for three weeks he’s playing well , people just can’t get over last year. He’s been the best and most consistent ol.Zion has gone up against Patrick Jones, Rashad Weaver, and Snowden from UVA....all NFL guys with Jones probably being a first rounder and hasn’t given up a sack unless the play or protection blew up somehow.

I use the UM gym facilities. I frequently bump into the kids (although not since covid). The last time I saw Scaife--maybe a year plus ago?--I was surprised at how thin he was.
I think he's a guy that is a victim of a lack of depth. Ideally, a kid like this comes in, redshirts and spends the 1st year bulking up and working on developing his strength. But, because of the lack of depth, he's been a three-year starter and never had that luxury.
Gaynor is a problem, he's not good blocking and his snaps are ******* awful, he's throwing the timing off on some of those screens with low snapsGAYNOR isnt much better or better at all he gets B8tch repeatedly. Its not seen as much because he is at center. In fact one of the plays Scaife kind of got bulld ozed was because Gaynor was of no use on the DL game.
Or are they not being coached up!!! It seems other schools in the sec are getting better results.Someone make it stop.
These south Florida O Linemen are SOFT
Maybe we could say the same thing about WR's and DB's. They are from SoFlo and are not doing very well.Sfla should only be recruited for skill position players and defensive players.
Lineman should come from parts of the country that produce them. Id look at players that teams like Wisky, Iowa and Ok state are interested in

In the past 15 years, our South Florida OL have outproduced our national OL by a massive margin. 77% of our drafted linemen since 2004 have been from South Florida, and a bunch more have been starters. Our national OL have mostly been busts.
Obviously, there are better OL nationally than locally. But they are tough to recruit to Miami, so we get the Zach Dykstras and Matt Piphos from Iowa. The hope is we can recruit better nationally when we win more.
