Settle down

[Canesfan1899]

Are we a perfect team, no. Is there a perfect team out there, no.

What we are is a really good football team that is replacing key starters on the ol, dl, and have lost our top 2 corners to injury. We have a lot of young guys playing their first meaningful reps and I’d say we have seen some improvement on the DL, the pass rush and pressure was great last night. Yes we need to improve on getting the qb to the ground d but Lopez is mobile qb and we were able to affect him most of the night.

Would I like to see more Cantwell, absolutely, but Miribal and Mario have earned some trust on their OL evaluations, need to keep improving but we did average close to 6ypc last night.

You’d think we lost the game with many of these threads. We have a long way to go to be a team like we were at the end of last year but have to imagine all young guys getting reps is going to help when we get Lucas and OJ back.

One more thread before tomorrow will do the trick. If not, a follow up thread will provide much needed perspective and solace

Ya know, sorry for trying to bring some perspective to the conversation. Go back to the sky is falling mopery.

That’s a game Miami has lost in the past. We won it by double digits. I think we are ok BUT that oline has to be figured out though.

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?!?!

Its almost like having Toney on a pitch count 2nd half and not having our top 2 backs had an affect. Its clear that even when Malachi isn't getting the ball having him on the field creates opportunities for everyone else. Rb depth definitely worries me if Brown is out long term though.

People forget that very recently, this would be a loss or at least sweating at halftime - maybe as recently as last year. The score was 24-3 at halftime. Perspective is important.

Browns done for the year with the looks of that injury. Mallory has been a pleasant surprise but we need to see if Lyle can add some juice

Weak sauce.

We need another 10 threads before LSU vs Ole Miss kick.

@DMoney said porst and we not doin it!

We win this game by 30 if we had OJ and Lucas. Injuries are a part of the game but we need those guys back.

 

[STtheGreat]

We deserve to drop to 8ish if not lower. They are all saying its better to learn from a win than loss - but what they showed last night is we arent a playoff team. Hopefully they learn to be better at football

Your good op. We did win

As I have been corrected. We did score in the second half. But....

The Injuries, Personnel to position schematically, and going Conservative in the 4th especially on O. Means we won't even come close to surviving a season undefeated. Were looking at 10 wins tops, unless we get real healthy.

 

[CalmBTheStorm]

The reason people here are up in arms over this performance is that there are national champion expectations for this squad. And everybody here can see the glaring weakness on this team and what will hold us back from a natty (besides injuries of course). The interior of the oline is atrocious and will be our downfall. Missing on Seaton in the portal is looming large. Our only hope is that our true frosh OL can step in. That’s not a position that true frosh usually excel in. So yea, we are concerned since our expectations were to bring home our 6th

That penalty by Wilson when Toure destroyed the RB really gave them life.

I think that as the freshmen get more comfortable, they will supplant the weak links on the line. I think people forget that Cantwell isn't nearly as well schooled as Mauigoa was. Cantwell is learning that college football isn't the same as dominating in Missouri, the light will come on for him, give him time to earn his way into the starting lineup. Once he gets there, he will stay there until he leaves.

No disagreement here. Ol absolutely has to improve, I’ve even wondered do you love McCoy or Sampson to guard and get congdon or Cantwell at tackle if that’s where they’re more comfortable.

I’m also not going to **** all over the defense, I expected wake to score a little bit, my first prediction for a final score was 51-21. We were on pace for that until we went into a shell on offense.

Dawson called a great first half, second half was terrible. He does that occasionally, glad it happened in a win. He needs to keep the pedal down even when Toney isn’t in the game. Should’ve been Barkate time.

Exactly. Miami gets that TO, it's likely that ends up being a TD, and the rout is on. Yes, Wake was able to put a little game pressure on the 'Canes, but let's stop pretending that Miami won via hail mary. It was a closer than expected, yet relatively comfortable win. That said, this staff will have a LOT of teaching tape to go over, because Miami did not play to standard in the second half, especially offensively.
