Highlights Spring Game Highlights

Sounds like Mario will be doing whatever it takes to get a WR1 in the door

It’s was always weird to me that Manny had all these press man Corners and would never play press man.

“Weird” is a very nice way of putting it haha

I’m crazy excited about the future, but those highlights seemed pretty pedestrian for a Miami offense. Do we lack gamebreakers as much as that made it seem? I know Knighton and Chaney are out but just didn’t see much burst anywhere.

Thank you for making that gif of Dunson, that was textbook Redzone coverage, the way he played to the outside hip off inside leverage & then came underneath playing through the WR’s hands to bet the PBU.

Really liked what I saw from Dunson, IMO he should be the starter at Boundary.

It was good to see Dunson and Couch (seemed confident again) play well yesterday.

A top 5 at CB of Stevenson, Dunson, Porter, Couch, and Ivey is pretty legit. And, it gives the 3 freshmen time to develop.

I was thinking the same. If TVD had connected on 1-2 of his deep throws it would be perceived different. And Mario said the offense would be vanilla and it was.

And speed doesn't seem to be the forte of Parrish and Franklin, but they still were somewhat efficient moving the sticks; that did impress me.

Short answer, yes. When your best skill players on the field are TEs its hard to find "Miami speed." Rooster coming back will definitely help. Anything we get from Chaney is a plus at this point. We desperately need speed and wiggle at WR.

Those play with our backup OTs are why every other post on the recruiting board is a mammoth OT visiting Miami.

Washington and McLaughlin will almost certainly never play here.

Y'all arent going to like this ..but 22 looked slow and fell down too easily in his runs. We need knightong and chaney to be healthy

you're not wrong, and the rumors about being somewhere else next season make sense after seeing him yesterday. He doesn't make the most of running plays..

I'm not saying he should be the starter, but at the same stage, he's miles ahead of where Gus Edwards was.

And as Thad's body matures and develops, it going to be fun having a 230+ pound swiss army knife. He caught the ball very well yesterday and he made the most of short yardage situations.

Thad has a ways to go, but he has a high ceiling if he can put it all together.

It's hard to be optimistic with those two and not sound crazy lol.


They could start by gaining 20 pounds each and developing a better punch. Both are woefully thin.

I will say I did like the receiving ability shown.

He’s gonna have to lose some weight and hopefully get faster and quicker while doing it.
