Some national views on the Canes

That's because you haven't seen them play a true pass rush scheme. You will be pretty happy with Hetherman this year.
I also hope the experiment at DT is over. If you want to play them at end then get them to look like a DE. I remember 4 years ago Messidor was by far the best player on defense. If the plan is to have both him and Bain at 280 again and taking a decent amount of snaps at DT that is a recipe for disaster like we saw last year. Have em drop down to 255 ish and get after it.

I could see that point of view if they were playing in the Mark Donofrio(no D scheme). The DBS did them no favor which is true but I’m also not seeing the elite burst and athleticism with this duo. I like us to be stout against the run though
 
Look, clowny, here's how clueless you are.

You are talking about the David Stone of 2024. He was a backup as a freshman.

Meanwhile the rankings posted were for 2025 rush ends. You know, as in rushing on passing downs. It's a projection of what will happen in 2025, not what happened in 2024.

Damonic Williams is a squatty nose tackle. He will be in for rushing situations. Between Stone's off-season improvement, his big NIL raise, and his increased role in the defense on passing downs in 2025, he will definitely be playing a lot more as a sophomore than he did as a freshman.

It would be great if you were smart enough about football to know this stuff, but I don't expect much out of you.
Sure you wrote some great stuff(highly doubt it) but I didn’t read it

Nice to see the love for roc boys. Best non miami fan channel out there…. They have ball knowledge and are objective…. I would even say they are extremely bullish on the program as a whole

The Bain you saw as a freshman and first year Messidor are what you will see. If you don't remember how their burst looked go watch those highlights. These guys are very good and it will show.

Weird....... We're mentioned more than the mighty fight Irish?!?!?!

Bain for sure. I understand why everyone is high on him. I think he has an all ACC type season. I’m not sold on Messidor. His 2022 campaign was decent, but nothing more. I know he’s battled some injuries, played out of position, and had bad coaching, so I don’t fully blame him for his subpar play the last 2 seasons. Hope Messidor proves me wrong.
 
I always like to look at these national rankings to compare our perception in this Canes bubble versus the national view. These guys are Michigan fans who do a good job with national coverage on their YouTube channel. Of course, the real story will be told on the field:










These guys do great work and definitely lurk the message board. Always impressed with how much they know about this team and roster.

WOW! They are going to blow up in this new D.
Take away those bush league stunts, there was zero pass rush generated, I’m not following what you’re even saying.
