I highlighted Smiff's presser for @IndayArtHauz and so that those of you screaming at the top of your lungs "Why isn't this freshman playing?" get some insight as to why they don't.

I didn't expect the kid to say "**** the coaches, I should have been playing". He clearly should have played over Pope and Wiggins last year, still a **** job by the coaches (last year).

Keyshawn obviously doesn’t know what Keyshawn is talking about. He was ready to go last year and it was all coaches playing favorites, I heard it here at least 5000 times

This is perfect

it was odd when Rousseau wasn’t getting as much playing time as a freshman as I hoped but for the most part Manny has been plenty willing to play guys early

“Play the backups” is a great message board line because it’s hypothetical and you can’t be wrong

the Tate Martell game was a hilarious example

Lmao. Keyshawn was ready no matter what Keyshawn says!
 
Pope and Wiggins must know that playbook so well! Must be so difficult to learn 7 plays on offense. Manny is about to show you this season (a season he should win 11 games) why he’s in over his head. Good luck watching it unfold. I can already see the dog fights between Virginia and Georgia tech

At one point, Smith said he and fellow second-year wide receiver Xavier Restrepo were being “hardheaded” last season and not paying attention to details like they should have, which resulted in them not getting a lot of offensive snaps as true freshmen.
“I feel like that stopped us from playing last year,” he said, “and we improved much more on that end.”
Smith later clarified that he didn’t feel like they were being stubborn, but that it took them a while to adjust to the college level.
“Just paying attention to detail — I wasn’t really big on it,” he said. “Coming from my high school, it wasn’t really how football is down here. The coaching is different. Coming in here and being able to listen to the coach — it was a lot for me. I had to learn a lot.”
 
Well you can have coaches who play players who know all the playbook. Then there are those coaches who say ok. Im just gonna call what the players know and can execute. WR is not an especially hard position to grasp.

McLoud has shown to be a pretty bad LB and he was playing as a true FR. Whats the difference here? The mistakes our SR players are making let the more talented players make them and learn

X should never leave the field And they should use two te sets or at the Very least throw to Mallory more then twice.
 
Kid is a leader. Takes ownership at every opportunity in this interview. Love the moment where he says things started to change when he started to pay attention and work on the playbook.


Man - wanna see him succeed big time
