Nothing new or earth shattering here, I just need to vent somewhere, and my girlfriend and my dog are sick of hearing about it.

- King is a tough, gutty, athletic quarterback that gives his all, but it's clear he's not a game changer at this level. He's not getting very much help at all so I'm sympathetic, but he can't raise this team up. A great or even really good quarterback might.

- I can't think of the last time Cam Harris made a guy miss. Give him a clear lane and he's pretty effective. But RBs have to create some juice on their own. He has none.

- Mallory is pretty **** close to entering bust territory. He could still turn it around but man. If your can't block consistently, and you can't make important catches, what value are you exactly? A decoy?

- OL is still a disaster. Somehow they're actually worse than last year. No one is consistent. For all the Zion 1st round talk I'm not sure he's even an NFL practice squad guy right now.

- There is not 1 LB on this roster who would even be in the 2 deep on any of our great or even good teams. Not one.

- Our starting safeties are good in run support but useless in all other aspects. Don't you have to have some manner of utility when the ball is in the air to be a starting FBS safety? Everywhere but here I guess.

- I still think Lashlee is a fine OC. But he's not a miracle worker. With a decent OL and better QB he'd look like a genius. But he's slow to slow to adjust to the limitations he has to work with.

- I don't know if Diaz is coaching to not care about keeping contain or of we just can't do it but I've never seen anything like it since maybe the '97 season or some of D'Nofrio's crapfests.

- The lack of toughness is inexplicable. I don't care about Rique getting burned on that double move. It was desperation time and he jumped a route to make a play. He's one of about 4 or 5 guys on the entire roster who play with passion and intensity.

- Diaz should go full early Butch era and let the young guys get experience. But since he's coaching for his job, and he clearly trusts the veterans no matter what, we're actually likely to see less, not more of the young guys.

- This team has a flare for the inexplicable leading to disaster. The Mallory TD drop, the Hall video game glitch, Zion completely whiffing on a basic outside shoulder move.. it's surreal.

Oh there's more.. But feel free to add on.

We were in a DOGFIGHT with Appalachian State for Christ sakes.

This team stinks. O-line, WR’s, Harris, LB’s all completely stink. D-line, secondary and QB are Avg at best. This team doesn’t have any talent at all. NONE.

Manny has been here 6 years and the defense does not have 1 NFL starter. Not one.

The best players on this team the last couple of years have all been transfers. Who has this guy actually recruited.

Take your Orange and Green glasses off guys. This is a terrible football team. We’ll be lucky to win 6 games.
 
I’ve been meaning to bring up our lack of toughness after last week. We are incapable of taking over any game we are in with OL/DL we currently have and they aren’t even average.

Harley has joined in on drop crew. Bench em.

Like I have never and never will understand continuing to play kids that make mistake after mistake. Then you’ll get asked why the young guys aren’t playing and we hear they’re still learning and making mistakes. Honestly sir it won’t be no different from what we are already seeing. Play the fresh blood because something isn’t clicking period.

Someone said doing the same thing over snd over and expecting different results is insanity snd my friends that’s Miami in a nutshell

I put this team would be lucky to win 6 games on Twitter before the season started and they fired my mentions up on Twitter. I asked for them ppl to holla at me today and my mentions was quiet as ****. Your team is never in a good spot when you have more questions than answers entering a season.

I'm now kind of surprised we won that one. Had their coach seen today's game tape first he would have outside zoned and quick hitch/screened us to death.

Hearing the commentators repeat all game every game these guys can’t tackle well, drive was killed with the false start penalty, touchdown called back because of illegal formation, there’s no contain for the cutback, corners are playing 8 yards off King has to take that, canes ran for 15 yards on the last run play outside the tackles no need to keep testing the middle of the defense, lack of urgency for these guys, defense is out leveraged before the snap, bad pursuit angles, etc…
