1 or 2 losses still. UGA beat Clemson and kept their offense in check all game. UNC lost. I'm actually more inclined to think we can have a 1 loss season now than I was before these week 1 games finished up.
We gave up 40 to Bama, but there is nobody left on our schedule with close to their offensive talent. Defensively if we can learn how to tackle I'm actually feeling good about that side this year. The tackling was ******* horrible though. The bright side again is just that these other teams we play for the most part aren't gunna have the type of athlete's Bama has. I think the DEs played solid, they didn't finish many plays though. But I think they will be better in ACC play than most here thought they'd be this season. I also think the DTs were definitely improved. **** we held them to like under 4ypc, which probably was most people's biggest fears. Obviously the major negative was the LBs were complete garbage and basically useless. For all the hype Keontra got, he didn't do ****...which just makes you question why on earth Jennings was even on the field cause he shouldn't be. Bubba Golden will be back though. CBs were about as expected. Don't think Gurvan is ever going to be more than an average to slightly below average starter, But we do have more safety talent than anybody in the ACC still, so again this isn't something that will be a killer for us this season. Overall while allowing 40pts is bad. It really wasn't a terrible defensive Performance imo. If we fix the tackling and have at least one LB step up we will be good.
Offensively, Lashlee just sucked ****. This is who he is though. I really don't think he has any feel for the game. It's like he doesn't have a brain and has to call the same run play that is getting stuffed 20 times. His system just isn't working and rather than adapt and just do what is working - and utilizing the players that are ******* working it's like he's stuck trying to put a big square ped in a small round hole. Like **** dude, Cam Harris on inside runs against the best Alabama front 7 they have had in like 5 years was obviously not going to be successful. Then when it proved to sick you keep doing it, and in situations that make no sense? Honestly I think Lashlee is the biggest weakness of this offense. And at this point I don't trust him not to crumble in big games. Second weakest was the right side of the OLine. The left side was good today. Most of the pressure came from the right, regardless if it was Scaife at RT or not. Personally I believe the OLine will be improved substantially this year and just think this Bama front 7 is going to be literally 2x better than ANY team on the rest of our schedule. It's lashlees fault for the run game not working and not helping our the RT with a chip or something. Lastly get Cam Harris the **** out of the starting lineup. I swear these coaches just can't help from playing the worse player most likely due to them being older. Cam Harris isn't even close to being as good of a RB as Chaney. IDGAF. King and the Wars/TE I think will show put the rest of the year. It's just will Lashlee figure out a run game and keep blowing **** in big games or not.
Special teams is going to be great again this year.
Overall I think the D was actually better than expected and Lashlee was far worse. But this offense will still woop pretty much every remaining defense on our schedules ***.
Lastly just before everyone EVERYONE calls for Diaz to be fired, just understand that unless Blake James is fired and this administration actually has a desire to see Miami football be great, we aren't likely to even hire someone better, just more of the same, with probably even worse recruiting. So if you want Diaz fired you should be even louder about James first. Otherwise nothing changes.
