First time I saw Hope out there I thought he was a safety. Big kid for a freshman.

What's so wrong about his post? Pretty accurate statements imo.

Bingo. Ultra conservative works if you have a great defense. This defense might be slightly better than average. Corners still suck, depth at defensive end is horrible, backers not named Perryman are meh, safeties not getting better.
Positives: Porter, Smith and Perryman.
The corners don't still suck. Lee Chambers and Mike Williams played alot last year and sucked. If anything, we know Gunter, Finnie and Hope will be factors in run support and will be far more aggressive in coverage. Not alot of soft coverage being played today.

Fisch said before the game the O was going to be vanilla
Also I do think we'll be able to generate a deep passing game with those guys.

I think there will be sone dumb plays this year with our cbs just because they are so young. But I think it will be the most improved position on the team this year. Gunter and hope look good plus we will have howard and bush

I was only able to stay for the first half but it wasnt much to see. There were way too many walkons playing today, we desperately need the incoming class to get in and get to work
Some thoughts for offense:
- Williams arm isnt any worse than jacorys and he looks fine rolling out of the pocket and can move around and create time. Is it just me or does he kind of throw like Philip Rivers, kind of shot puts it?
- McDermott is a lot bigger than i expected and he looks like hes ready
- Seantrel looked healthy and bigger, Bunche was amped up, like his attitude and hope its contagious
- Flowers looks real good for 17 years old, him and Gadbois look mean and for being Freshman
- People need to remember we have 3 scholarship WRs right now, D Johnson was playing WR. the best WR today was a walkon kidd
- Crow and Dewey wont play this year unless something tragic happens so i dont know why people put so much in their spring games
- Overall the Off was what i expected, 3 qbs we had never seen using a vanilla playbook, and A LOT of walkons.
Defense:
- Liked seeing a 3-4 of Chick, Porter, Smith, Cain on the edge. Nice to see them switch it up
- Kirby, Perryman, Johnson all looked real good. Throw in Buchanan and Paul and I think our LB corp will be alright. Losing spence will hurt but guys like Paul look better than Futch ever did. I was looking for witt but dont remember seeing him, he hurt?
- Gunter looks good, McGee looked like hes been listening to the coaches.
- Is Armbrister a LB? If so im not sure why unless hes real slow because hes not any bigger than 200lbs
We need better players and thankfully 20+ will be arriving this summer

None of them should ever start at Miami. They suck and show just how far we've fallen.

Wish I could have been there, wish I could have seen it.
From many comments I've read here, I assume some didn't listen when Golden and Fisch indicated a very bland offense in this game due to shortages in certain skill positions - especially receivers. It's hard to spread the field and pick out open receivers if they aren't on the field - at least in my experience. A vanilla offense is easier to defend, and with limited pass receivers, the pass is easier to defend.
Thanks to everyone for all the comments. We all want it all, and we all want it all right now. Me too, but it's not going to work that way. At least the coaches got some film and we know exactly what we need to work on for now. So will the players.
I've never seen a spectacular spring game. Still wondering if such a thing exists.

NFLCANE didnt say Lewis should start. He placed Lewis in the WR rotation.

As explosive as he is I cant agree with u. If he works hard he could start.

If anyone were to possibly know where a torrent would be available, that'd be outstanding.
(I can't get ESPN3).

havent watched the game yet but you guys are getting all in a tissy over nothing. this team is facing a complete roster overhaul. this season will be similar to last year in the W/L column but I expect the D to play much better and for us to look much more like a team overall. we won't see significant improvement until 2013. just sit back and enjoy the ride

He is not the fastest player in the country but he is quick, runs pretty good routes, tough as nails. Im not saying I think he should start but the kid has practiced against howard for a long time. So he has gone against a great corner. I think he possibly could start or be a big part of the offense as a freshman
