PFF Grades for Miami Vs BCU

General notes:
-Miami had a pair of players that broke 90 percent grades this week per Pro Football Focus: Tyler Van Dyke with an overall 92 grade on offense and Gil Frierson at 90.2 on defense. For perspective, Van Dyke’s best graded games last year saw two above 80 percent – 87.9 against Central Connecticut State and 84.3 vs. NC State. Frierson? His best game last year was a 72.6 percent grade against Virginia Tech. So those were some big strides for an opener, at least.

-Grading out best as run blockers (with over 15 reps): Anez Cooper (81.4 percent), Justice Oluwaseun (80.8), John Campbell (80.1) and DJ Scaife (77.9). The team had an overall grade of 81.1 percent in run blocking, which is excellent.

- TVD was kept clean in the pocket almost the entire game, with PFF reporting two times he was actually considered “under pressure.” Offensive linemen that graded out particularly well as pass protectors (with over 15 reps) were Jalen Rivers (83.8 percent), DJ Scaife (82.4) and John Campbell (78.7).

-PFF noted seven missed tackles in the game, with Kam Kinchens the only player with more than one (he had two). An overall 67.9 tackling grade. The D did record 18 QB hurries.

- Several individual tackling grades were quite poor. The aforementioned Kinchens was at 48.4 (70 is considered good), Jared Harrison Hunte 55.2, DJ Ivey 38.8, Al Blades 28.7 and Avantae Williams was at 27.5.

-The top guy on the team tackle grade-wise was Corey Flagg, who beat out transfer Caleb Johnson for the starting job. Flagg was at 79.9 percent. No. 2 on the list was Johnson right behind him at 79.4. James Williams was also strong at 78.9 with others at 77 percent Gil Frierson and Tyrique Stevenson.

- Miami graded out at 92.6 percent overall . he offense was at 95.1 and the defense with an overall 83.4 grade.

Rewatched every defensive snap today. 24 was the best player on the field & it wasn’t close. 11 is hard to watch. Usually the slow guys are quick to diagnose. He is just a body out there. Unless the play is directly at him he isn’t making the tackle. It was really hard to watch when truly zeroing in on him. The DT’s actually played a really good game. 8 needs to be put in a cannon & shot to outer space. Again, #24 is the best player on that side of the ball.

Coming into the year I thought the pass rush would be a huge strength. At the very least there’d be a big upgrade from last year. I believe there‘s plenty of quickness and power off the edge but i don’t think there’s much more. I don’t see a technician that has a repertoire of pass rush moves or bend to make himself skinny. It was mostly power , trying to walk a guy back to the qb or speed rushes. Thomas Davis and Kelly look the most natural but at this point they’re just specialists and need some more size / seasoning.

I noticed watching Agudes film at UCLA that he was an effort guy with violent hands but once again it was all about walking the OT back. Power and strength. The same happened yesterday. If our guys can’t win with straight speed on the snap or over powering a guy pressure will be an issue. Imo LT or Jackson should be on the field on pass downs with maybe Mesidoor beside one. Causing pressure from the inside. Lichtenstein and Moultrie should get more pt as well. Moultrie showed some good burst inside.

The DL room is deep , talented and will be a strength but Imo we’ll need to cause pressure with scheme. Stunts and twists to play to DL’s strengths and mix that with blitzes. The only real issues is we have a lot of guys with the same skill sets / strengths. But are raw in other areas. Just my two cents.

Informative, thanks!
 
The best thing I took away from Mario was his post game on the field...
- Mention Defense - containment specifcally - must be fixed
- Mention fumble snap at the goal line - can't happen
- Assignments/big play bust on 3rd down
- Susbstitutions they must clean up

Sounds like a poster on CIS...

Revisionist history, but man a LB like Mikel Jones would have elevated this defense another level in the portal.

A WR like Tay FLOWERS would have elevated the offense to another level.

Still can't believe both were close to becoming Canes, yet landed neither.
 
Overall, a good showing but definitely room for improvement - especially on Defense.

Guys need to understand the playbook better, tackling needs to improve and yes - some guys need playing time reduced (or eliminated altogether); we are not playing our best 11 on D.

DL was good - would like to see more from the DEs outside of Mesidor. Harvey and Chantz didn't show me anything. Still comes down to our LBs and CBs. Changes need to be made there or we're going to be exposed yet again.

11 just stood there like a statue when they are running crossing patterns right in front of him… smh

And they were targeting Ivey on almost every throw, they definitely watched some film.

Don't think you have to watch film at this point. Ivey has a reputation with years of primetime examples. He will be a target every game.

The real issue is why we can't seem to find players to out-work and more quickly grasp the playbooks than those two. It's no fluke that they seem to start every year despite coordinator/playbook changes.

One of the reasons I'm not sweating that TD. It was blown coverage from somebody clearly not in tune 100% with the playbook. Everyone will improve once they've got it down. I'd be more concerned if BCC had just straight up out talented/played us for the TD. Though their WRs look pretty darn good for them and so does Jones. They might have a nice season.

Running QBs still an issue ...

It’s always an issue Vs. an athletic QB if you’re in man coverage (DBs backs to the QB), or if you’re zone blitzing and you lose contain on said QB. It’s not exclusive to Hurricane DCs. It happens on every level.

Staff gets paid wayyy too much money for the defense to come out looking like that. Execution and finishing plays against southern miss is gonna have to go up dramatically to have a shot at TAMU

It’s not a PlayStation game, sir.

The waves of talent on that side of the ball (sans LB) will be what makes this a 10-2 team.

Thinking just coaching will get you a win VS ass2mouth is the dumbest thing I’ve read all day today.

I saw Coach Hayes’ postgame show. His one big problem was with BCU getting some big plays off in the first half and the Canes’ inability to get BCU off the field. He pointed out (rightly I think) that in College Station, those BCU big plays would have resulted in touchdowns.

There didn’t seem to be instinctive gang tackling going on yet, but that would come. Everyone had to attack the ball carrier at once.

Terrible edge containment

we really dont have that Stubbs, Rusty, McDougle type that has to be accounted for on every 3rd and long off the edge...
