The Work: 10-16

I tell you what, Richt has been ultra conservative... But he can't catch the ball. He can't block. And he can't throw. Kaaya missed 2 key throws; the long 9 route to Richards that was an easy TD and the 4th and 1 throw to Njoku that if accurate was a TD. OL can't stop MF'ers from blocking our kicks. OL isn't opening holes for the RBs. And there have been numerous drops by everyone.

Donofrio can't make the tackles, and our DL are whiffing on easy sacks. He can't sack the QB for them. Sound familiar?

It does but this is slightly different. Here, there were plays to be made and guys in proper position but did not execute. No D's defenses were hardly ever in position to make a play, played 15 yds off the line, and were often lined up in very odd formations (LB covering a WR).

We hired a guy who was fires for underachieving and he wasn't calling plays. Now he is calling plays and we are god awful on O. Giving a ton of yards up on D and special teams is a disaster. Nothing will change untill we hire a competent young coach. This was the most important hire in our history besides Schnelly and we ****ed up again. I'm done with this program and it's lack of direction and leadership
Man, y'all dudes are something else.
 
And yes imma say this also....and yes ill use bama because they have the best team and the best ayers. If they ran the same exact plays and gameplan against unc do they lose?


Uhhhhhhhh no




Get ballers fix the line add depth lock down sfla just like JJ n every smart coach knows and u will win big

Wouldn't it be easier to just run an offense that creates mismatches and takes advantage of our athletic advantage in most games rather than just having to rely on having the best players all of the time? Isn't it frustrating for you at times to watch some of these teams move the ball at will it seems on defenses and see us struggle against the very same defenses with more talented kids? What do you think our offensive numbers would be under a guy like Mike Gundy?

What a difference two weeks can make. At the start of October, Miami was a Top 10 team (whatever that means) riding high with momentum on-and-off the field – the Canes were getting ready to catapult themselves onto the national scene with a win over rival Florida State as approximately one hundred high school recruits packed the stadium to watch them do so.

Miami did not beat the Noles and then they lost again this weekend to North Carolina. The Canes dampened their chances at the ACC Coastal, but the manner of the loss to the Tar Heels was disturbing to Canes fans – especially the continued regression of the Miami offense, which has stalled in back-to-back weeks against defenses that appeared to be vulnerable.

The most ironic part of Miami’s problems offensively is that it's at the point of the season where we can say this defense is for real.

Manny Diaz’s group did their part once again. Although UNC QB Mitch Trubisky threw for 299 yards and the Tar Heels amassed 461 total yards, Miami held them scoreless in the second half including an impressive goal line stand that give the Canes life at the start of the fourth quarter. Miami’s defense has not been a brick wall in the last two games against UNC and FSU, but they've made more than enough stops to give the offense their opportunities.

Nobody was more disappointed in Miami’s offensive effort yesterday than Mark Richt. A source told CanesInSight that he was particularly hard on himself this morning and he will be assessing the way that he’s been calling games. Part of Miami’s struggles offensively can be attributed to the players, but Richt knows that the game plan must be better. The offensive line has been abysmal, Brad Kaaya has not been sharp, receivers have not been consistent catching the football – blame it on whatever you want, but Miami’s offense must be better to salvage this season whatsoever.

It seems obvious at this point that Mark Richt knows his offensive line is the weakness, and has tried to adjust by limiting downfield passing plays that would leave Kaaya susceptible to big hits, but changes need to be made. To this point in his career, Kaaya has shown that he needs a clean pocket to be successful. It’s obvious he is not the most fleet of foot, but Kaaya will need to make more throws like the ones he made to Ahmmon Richards and Chris Herndon on back-to-back snaps on Miami’s touchdown drive late in the third, where he was able to extend the play momentarily after initial pressure to get the ball downfield.

Miami heads into Blacksburg on a short week and open as 5-point underdogs. At the first crossroads of his Miami coaching career, the Canes’ chances rely on Richt getting Kaaya going midway through what was supposed to be his breakout season. Thursday night will determine how willing Richt is to make changes.


RECRUITING UPDATES

**Dating back to the spring, Miami felt very good about their chances with two high profile out of state prospects in particular – D.J. Johnson and Anthony McFarland. Johnson proved the staff’s confidence correct by committing shortly after visiting Miami for paradise camp in July. McFarland, on the other hand, was in Miami in late March but had not returned since then after having a couple scheduled visits postponed.

Miami hosted McFarland on his official visit this weekend. Not only do the Canes have a realistic opportunity to land one of the nation’s top running backs – but they are in the driver’s seat. I would classify Miami as the favorites to land the Dematha Catholic prospect right now.

There have been questions concerning McFarland’s broken fibula injury that he suffered during a preseason scrimmage. McFarland underwent surgery and is already getting around fine. Miami believes that Joseph Yearby and Travis Homer suffered more severe injuries during their high school career so this is not something that has affected their recruitment of him.

**The Hurricanes are posturing to land the American Heritage duo of offensive lineman Kai-Leon Herbert and Teddarell Slaton, who have both been increasing their contact with Miami recently. The Hurricanes coaches believe that these two are impact players from day one in Coral Gables and they are recruiting them like it.

Herbert is a Michigan Wolverines commitment, but Miami’s biggest bargaining chip with linemen remains the opportunity to see the field early. Michigan coaches went all over the country on their bye week to visit commits and targets, but they did not send a single coach down to south Florida to check on Herbert. Miami is selling him the chance to start at left tackle next season.

Speaking to a few local coaches who have seen Herbert play, almost unanimously the thought on him is that he must add strength, but he is a left tackle prospect all the way and is an A-plus athlete at the position.

Much has been made over the last five years about Miami’s inability to land prospects from American Heritage – Sony Michel, Torrance Gibson, Tarvarus McFadden, and Brian Burns are all ones who got away. Hiring Mike Rumph as cornerbacks coach was supposed to quell whatever “issue” was there.

Given Miami’s immediate need for an infusion of offensive line talent, landing the duo of Herbert and Slaton to pair with a 5-star caliber player in Navaughn Donaldson would turn out to be the biggest recruiting coup for Mark Richt in his first full recruiting cycle.

My prediction is that Miami will sign these two in February.

**Miami hosted IMG Academy TE Tre’ McKitty for an official visit this weekend. Formerly a Canes commit when Al Golden was at the helm, McKitty is currently a soft commit to Oregon. A source at Miami said the Canes are “full go” on McKitty and plan to prioritize him down the stretch at tight end.. With Brian Polendey in the fold already, Miami likes the idea of adding McKitty as a versatile weapon – similarly to how Chris Herndon’s skillset is being used in the offense now. The two videos below show that he is an effective blocker and can line up in multiple spots split out wide or in the slot. Miami internally believes that they are in the thick of things for him, but he will still take trips to Auburn, Oregon, and Florida as well. He is an early enrollee.

**Just a reminder that Miami safety Amari Carter announces his decision on Saturday night at 7 p.m. All signs point to him choosing the Canes.

Amazing that SOTU put out a recruiting update this morning that listed eerily similar information and discussed the exact same recruits in the exact same order that Pete did. What a coincidence!
 
I mean Golden never said he needed to have the defense call better plays or change anything. So at least that is a good sign, but I will believe it when I see it. With Njoku, Herndon, Coley, and Richards we should score 40+ every game

to be fair, it would have helped if those guys didnt drop this many balls and BK didnt shoot passes over their heads. if both units make those plays, were looking at a much diff score
 
And yes imma say this also....and yes ill use bama because they have the best team and the best ayers. If they ran the same exact plays and gameplan against unc do they lose?


Uhhhhhhhh no




Get ballers fix the line add depth lock down sfla just like JJ n every smart coach knows and u will win big

What do you think our offensive numbers would be under a guy like Mike Gundy?

it'd be a lot easier to do those things if Kaaya isn't a statue in the pocket esp when the OL is getting abused. thats a big issue bc hes gonna get smacked on every drop back, the downfield throws become limited due to the time needed and hes not gonna create more time w his feet so he needs an absolutely clean pocket.

Now Kaaya is getting smoked on every pass play? Is this where the narrative is going? The OL never blocks anyone? LULZ at you suckers starting the same cannibalization of players nonsense again. Will you ever learn?
 
Richt is going to get this thing going in the right direction! All the fake fans attacking him need to shut up and let the man recruit and actually develop talent unlike our previous coaches.

Lol yea. Just like Golden needed more time.

The excuse train is already rolling.

Golden really did a number on you.

It's not even that Golden did a number on him, it's just reality. We never saw any sort of change during all of Golden's tenure and his main slogan was "It's on me", which is what Richt is saying. Richt made the same comments after the FSU game and we all said ok, we will see what Richt's made of against UNC. What we saw was the same exact ****. If nothing changes Thursday, then Richt is who we think he is, a CEO with an outdated offensive approach.

For what it's worth, I definitely think I saw some adjustments in the offensive play calling against UNC versus what we saw at FSU. Everyone was calling for us to target the TEs and use the middle of the field. The result was obviously not what we wanted but I'd say we definitely did both of those things on Saturday.

There were changes. There was more reliance on the run game... which is what Recht said he wanted to do coming into UNC.

We **** the bed on the field, and UM is trying to stem the tide of negativity.



I think it's legit. My friend is a huge Michigan fan, and he said Herbert started looking around, so they started looking around. We can flip him for sure.

Richards will be great here but he's isn't there yet. coley is injured half the time. Our line is terrible. How the **** do you see us scoring 40 a game ?

let's not sit here and delude ourselves based on what we saw in practice any longer

these are golden softies through and through

being a jag fan our practices had us believing dante fowler was the second coming of von miller and that our wide receivers were near untouchable

n0pe
