Good write up on our roster.

How good will replacement at safety be for Thomas? I assume Fitzgerald, he should be even better than his natuon leading 6 ints but he will be counted on to be more physical in run game.

Can Thornton adequately replace Keionte scott? He seems like a good player Thornton at BC. Or will Thornton be replacement at safety for Thomas and Fitzgerald maybe the replacement for Keionte scott?

How good will our re-tooled OL be?

Who will replace Bissainthe for us at LB?

Will we see any drop off at DE for us losing both Bain and Mesidor?

We have upgraded at QB, WR, and several other positions have lots of potential.

The ND game likely is the difference between getting a bye in playoff vs not.

I hope we can be solid at OL, and I like our chances to go on a run. Its tough to rebuild and still be as dominant give we lost 4 1st round picks to draft. Mario is doing a good job with roster retention and acquisition plus recruiting.

I am cautiously optimistic for next year.

I think Dunnigan replaces Thomas

Don’t think anyone will replace scott, will probably have multiple guys playing nickel this year. Thorton and poyser will probably multiple positions. Bryce looked solid at nickel but idk if he’s physical enough for it full time

Its blind faith but i don’t think mirabal will produce a bad oline. For sure will be growing pains but I like the recruiting we have done there. Buchannan/Ervin/Cantwell are future stars imo, will probably see the floor this year and the ceiling next year and the year after

Idk if wiley replaces wes at wlb but bonner is probably the wes replacement. Lb is a key watch for spring just to see who’s in the mix

We will 100% have a drop off at de, and its no knock on who we have but its almost impossible to replace two first rounders and especially a player like bain. Im high on lowe, i think he will probably end up as our best overall edge. I like the depth but depth will never have the impact of two superstar players

I think this team has a high ceiling, we will win games in a different style than last year. I think winning the acc is the floor

Super potential, he has the natural body size pause. He isn't one of those he need to add weight types, Bain was like that where he came in physically ready. Don't know if Lowe has Bains bend but I know he has power and he was a 5 star, and usually the off season hype is real under Mario. 8 times out of 10 if they say someone is turning heads early I usually believe them. And as a TF they mentioned him a ton as being a dude and then he got hurt. He has Bains hand usage, straight violent. Pause Pause Pause

We will know early that he is one of them imo. So much talent in that room, Charles is the same way man. So many great evals in that room.

Mario dont know how to lie about players and fake hype them

I feel like with that way we use those tight splits it benefits that OL development. There will be early mishaps for sure but the first 3 games scheduled are great for that. Cantwell will be big time and will be a bully, he will struggle with pass rush early then adjust. I think McCoy may be the LT and that's fine cause he can do it all, and Samson at LG is ideal cause he played really good there and has that XP there. The rest of the OL I wouldn't know but I do trust the staff in this area. It wont be perfect but it will be top 10 at worst top 20. And with the way Mensah plays just give the man 3 seconds. Again I could be wrong but I feel really comfortable about this season.

I think in 27 and 28 we will be a fully loaded true Miami, assuming we close on a lot of those top targets. But if you are concerned or anyone thats normal, we got a bunch to replace, even I get concerned at times. I have to make sure I am not being a homer and check myself sometimes.

Buchanan seems legit. Mccoy is prob better on the outside.
I heard the merriweather kid has alot of talent its just uga OL coach is garbage

Wilson and Lightfoot without weight gain are not good against the run or setting the edge. If Lightfoot gains weight he would handle those 2 things better than Wilson. Wilson is just a dominant pass rusher. You simply can't have 2 starting DE's who can't do both of those things well. I think Lowe and Scroggins may get more snaps than people think. Blount is probably in their with them, but we don't know how his play is split between inside and outside.
No question, OL is the biggest concern. TE and LB depth are concerns also for me at the moment

I felt like Mesidor got away with not setting the edge a lot but we were mostly always positioned by the defense where they were in pass rush situations.
