He will start, that’s just what it is.

Until he graduates & has no more eligibility he will be on the field plenty.

More observations in 2nd viewing period from Gaby and Lake:

-Pulling guards, pulling tackles. Offensive line is very active here during 11 on 11
-Cyrus Moss had a sack on Jake Garcia on a roll out
-Jordan Miller getting first team reps at DT with LT in 11v11
-TeCoury getting first team reps at corner opposite Ivey
-Henry Parrish is very good at stretch runs.

We NEED Miller to step up!! He is the biggest body we have on defense and can plug the holes. Can't teach anyone to be that big, that strong, that quick! Simplify things for this guy if need be.

Elijah Arroyo just swallowed Jahfari Harvey. He’s going to get on the field a lot of he does that consistently. That was super impressive

Pause

 

[TallyCaneFan]

Dang. I can't think of a more veiled, harsher indictment. Teaching them the concepts of defense....

He actually said, "Teaching them the concepts of the defense"

 

[TallyCaneFan]

But how does his wife feel about it?

Was waiting for this one!

Let me translate. “It’s different (it is not based on gimmicks). It’s different (guys have assignments), it’s different (we wrap up)…….”

But how does his wife feel about it?

Hopefully, it’s just his wife and not some side piece.

"If your best player standing next to you on the sideline you won't win alot of games".

That has to be earned. Every year. Not given. That’s the stuff the past regimes have done and we all hated it. I love Kam too but he has to earn his job back as starter. Handing it to him is just putting us in the same culture we have had the last 15 years.

He actually said, "Teaching them the concepts of the defense"

Ahh. That’s an important word to have in there. The way I read it was that they were learning the concepts of defensive football at a college level for the first time.

Thats what she said re: pluggin holes and big body

 

[JustAFanHTX]

if Ivey and Flagg are the starter by week 1…………….

Then you’re going to sit down on your couch and clap it up and support Miami like you’ve always done.

 

[Yoyo423]

Williams moves like a CB man. FREAKY.

Agreed.. No reason to move him to LB like so many are suggesting.

 

[theibisrules]

That’s not his game, good thing knighton and don can catch

With self practice can jt become his thing?

 

[Dghustla]

Jakes accuracy

 

[Paparazzi Tripp]

AYE WAS IT JUST ME OR DID OLD DUDE SEEM LIKE HE WANTED TO SAY THESE LINEBACKERS TRASH AF ... THAT ***** SAID "BRIGHT EYED AND WILLING TO LEARN LOL" THAT SOME **** YOU SAY ABOUT THE SORRY *** KIDS WHO PLAYING POP WARNER CAUSE THEY MAMA MADE THEM BUT THEY GARBAGE .

I was thinking the same thing! Straight up! Lol

 

[Angry Ibis]

Y’all are a bunch of ***** if you don’t like Blades.

 

[RedSquare]

First team offense cooking now. Mallory with a couple catches and TVD with a 25 ish yard gain to Jacolby George with Ivey in coverage

yeah, but that doesn't count

 

[JHallCanes]

I think Brown is fighting Thad for that “move the pile/keep the chains moving/goal line, 4th quarter bruiser” role. If he doesn’t get that, it could be trouble for him. I like the kid too. He’s got a chance to shine in the Spring because it’s only him, Thad and Parrish. He has to cease the moment and realize come Fall things get a lot harder and the walls start closing in in that RB room.

Also you can never have enough RBs

We’ve seen it a lot here

 

[Southcane]

Y’all are a bunch of ***** if you don’t like Blades.

I think all players should be a clean slate and let's judge them at the end of the season. As far I'm concerned all forgiven if you are willing to stay, the coaches want you to stay and you work hard to earn your spot on the team.

 

[JHallCanes]

Agree. Kam's instincts and intelligence are off the charts. He will be on the field a lot and I can see the coaches relying on him to initiate communication on the backend. What he lacks in speed he more than makes up for with how quickly he processes information which allows him to anticipate and play fast. I expect all three to play but Kam is the best safety on the team. IMO

Zero chance Kam leaves the field this year

He’s just too good of a player. They’ll just have to find a way to get all 3 of them out there

He’s definitely one of the best tacklers on the team as well
