Some hard truths

Advertisement
D'Eriq King has gone from one of college football's bright young dynamic QBs to the old man who is beat to **** and has nothing left but guile. He plays like Brett Favre in those Wragnler Jeans commercials. He's pretty brutal to watch right now. Even when he's effective and moving the ball, its a struggle.
 
Trav, solid post.

As for what our safeties are doing, they're being asked to come up and help do everything but be what their position name suggests, a safety. The amount of ground they've gotta look after since the front seven is flat out bad is obscene.

Lashlee is anything but a fine OC. All a defense has to do to be successful is sit keep their linebackers back until we show our hand. They're sitting on the play because it's so patently juvenile it isn't even funny.

Defense don't even have to cover the entire field as we don't use it. The amount of same area receivers is disgraceful on our part. One of the King INT's, the seem route, we literally brought five defenders into a 10 x 10 yard box with three routes all being run to that same area.

He needs to go back to the drawing board. Fortunately for the rest of college football, this will be his last chance to call an offense.

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.

The team quit tonight. It's ovah.

On top of that, all of his weakness on D have not been addressed.

Still lose contain on the backside
Still leave the flat open in PA
Still have moments where our communication on the backend leads to big plays.

Even those are not that great. The big State of Florida chain is the superior gimmick.

We don’t block well. We don’t tackle well. We don’t catch well. We commit stupid penalties, our guys are consistently out of position, and we play with zero heart or effort.

Badly coached team

Well said. In addition, TO differential went from a strength to weakness & special teams remains a liability. All of these are opposite of what a veteran team should do.

Just wait, he’ll have a three pick game here shortly. He’s gotten lucky numerous times making really risky throws.
 
I'm not sure if it'll be the longest UFR ever, or the shortest. Leaning towards shortest, but believe me, this was not a good game plan, execution by players, or tough effort.

Don't remember the last time I was that embarrassed to be a Canes fan. The complete lack of respect that the players have for their coach is apparent all over the film.

This team was BROKEN by MEL TUCKER. MEL TUCKER.

It was a systematic grinding to a pulp. It was the formula that has broken us many times before. Just stout af OL play, a running back that just beats the **** out of you, and a quarterback that just takes what you give him and ultimately carves you up. Mish State didn't have to do anything but just wait for Miami to put themselves into the juicer and just get their soul extracted from them.

This team is done.

Looking forward to it. I’m curious how lack of respect to coaches translates into sh1tty play.
