Tony chickillo Facebook posting on TOS!

[cane since birth]

Yall are talking like he was this speed rush end that would out athlete tackles on the edge, he was never like that, he would use his strength and size to get by guys, having said that he was misused here, he shouldnt be 2 gapping

 

[pb5cane]

**** Al Golden. But, here, maybe Chickillo's expectations were just a bit too high. Not sure the guy would've excelled elsewhere. Best of luck to him though.

Well he did enough in senior bowl practice and game to make nfl scouts stop in their tracks so ...

 

[Hurracanes]

**** Al Golden

 

[FrancisSawyer]

Prediction: Chick will do well in the League. He's got something to prove. He dropped the weight, and he concentrates on his playbook and his game technique, he'll make his dad proud.

Chick was horribly misused here. Mike Tomlin and the Steelers coaching staff will get the best out of him. I'm in no way saying that Chick was supposed to be Jerome McDougle at UM nor that he will be JJ Watt in the league but the coaching that he will receive with the Steelers will make Golden and Dorito look like the Pop Warner coaches they are.

 

[Tad Footeball]

I'm still not clear what he was talking about re: former teammates. If he was friends with Sileo or something over in Tampa then that falling out should be considered one of the few things Golden should actually be credited for.

Nonetheless, Chick to my Steelers will prove to be a steal as at minimum that staff will make him an impact special teamer but I'm willing to bet we see him as a situational player on D sooner rather than later.

It's a shame that a former player would make a Fakebook post like that. Coach gave Chick a chance, and Chick didn't make the most of his opportunity. It's really that simple. I, for one, appreciate the fact that Coach Al took the high road when he had the chance to respond in kind to the small percentage of malcontents and dissidents. We are a much better university and football program for having Coach Al at the helm.

 

[rsa coral gables]

i'm a steelers fan and i am glad to see him to there. however, they are talking about using chick as a linebacker. interesting. joey porter is the steelers' linebacker coach and i hope he can develop chick into a serviceable player. it would be a little justice for a kid that was as loyal as they come.

Well said, good man. Most of my dear friends on here are not strong enough to take a stand like you did.

Chick had 4 years to get something accomplished here. Coach put him on the field. Coach can't make the plays for him.

All Chick did was stuff his face and get slow and fat. Once there was a chance to make some money after his college scholarship expired, you saw him stop stuffing down pizza and manicotti.

I do have to say one thing though. And I say this as a devout heterosexual: Chick looks so **** handsome after he dropped all that blubber. Looks like a superhero now. I'd love to see him in one of those tight spandex outfits.

Not sure if serious or no but Miami will not be a better place until al is ridin shot gun in his fruity friends motor bike side car out of town

I can't believe they think Chick can be a linebacker.

Bad technique... I don't ever recall anyone saying that... Our players even under RS was lauded for being prepared and intelligent... Franklin started as a rookie... The only person that was criticize for his preparation was Shields who was playing corner all of 6 months... Bailey had to adjust to a new system with a few established vets in front of him... And DVD just didn't have what it took to be a rotational corner... You can't say the players techniques were bad then they ended up starting... You don't start technically flawed rookies... Even Shields started or was granted heavy minutes once he got to the NFL...

well you don't follow the draft as closely as me or you'd know that. i didn't say the guys didn't end up being good. i said coming out of college that was the knock on them. they all went on to receive better coaching and most of them vastly improved. Franklin should of easily been a 1st rd pick but scouts didn't think he was fundamentally sound. Bailey was said to be an athletic freak who had just one move. Trust me. i follow our guys and the draft in general very closely. The only big issue i had with randy besides fielding an incompetent offense was that the program seemed to get very lazy under him and lacked motivation on a consistent basis. didn't seem like guys were putting in the work they should have. they'd come out and go balls to the wall against FSU but then lay an egg against Louisville, USF, and even Virginia.

So Franklin had bad technique yet he started as a rookie? Naw man you don't start a rookie at tackle when he has bad technique... We know about the motivation issue but fundamentals wasn't an issue... Even with Sentrel... All of our players weren't fundamentally sound but the majority of the guys were... I follow the draft... I don't recall many of our players having that issue...

well obviously his technique improved since getting better coaching. and you must be "ignoring the noise" if you didn't hear scouts question the fundamentals of our players. they stated that he had trouble blocking and sliding and that due to footwork had trouble moving laterally. but did excel in pass protection against SDEs

What noise haha? Our players were being praised for their intelligence... You're making stuff up and regurgitating popular quotes from the board... You said Vernon was underwhelming when he accumulated 11 tackles for loss and 6 sacks as a sophomore... Then you proceeded to say he had fundamental issues when that wasn't the case...

And what did OV do the rest of his time here? and yes OV should of been a double digit guy in college. soo are you getting bent out of shape simply bc i said OV didn't produce as much as he should have or because i'm questioning randy shannon's coaching ability? and i wasn't referring to OV i was referring to Franklin

Your one of those people who talk to hear themselves talk. Using vague comments like guys had technique issues **** you can say that about any dam player from any school. Most every kid that comes out of school has some sort of weakness that can be chalked up to tech ique issues by below avg internet posters who really don't understand anything.
A guy can't read and react or is slow out his breaks ? Hey that's technique.
A guy can't get off blocks? *** it, put that under technique too
A guy having trouble in space? Let's put that under technique also. Smh.

Only on the Internet can one coach crank out NFL starters but he can't develop players and the other guy can because they don't like the other guy.

hey stupid who doesn't know what vague means. i gave you a specific analysis of Franklin's knock on him going into the draft. nothing vague about it. for some incredibly stupid reason you think i'm saying Golden is better than shannon. both are sh*t coaches. in hindsight, does it really matter who was the sh*ttier one? I've seen your other posts. you are the rare Shannon slurper. a rare specimen indeed. i'll give props to randy for being a good DC but you can't argue that he wasn't a terrible head coach and that guys under performed under him.

Chick did what most college students do, which is add the "Freshman 50." Al warned him about that and tried to work with the young man, but he was too self-indulgent to take his time at UM seriously. It's okay, though, because he pulled his act together and got himself drafted. Can you imagine how well he would have played at UM and how highly he would have been drafted--as a result of that stellar play--if he had listed to Coach Al's advice about keeping his weight down? I shudder to think of the possibilities. Chick is young and made some mistakes, but, hopefully, he learned from them and will take advantage of this new opportunity the Rooneys and Coach Tomlin have given him.

What is the source of your rage and vitriol, good friend? Perhaps a meeting with your local vicar or pastor will help you overcome your demons. Better yet, if you are Catholic, schedule a meeting with the priest in your local parish.

[JHallCanes]

In my opinion, the biggest issue he can have is that his son was played too early before he was developed, due to depth issues. But he didn't seem to mind at the time (all these kids want to play right away). While its easy (and fair) to point to all the issues on D, his son had about a couple thousand chances to rush the passer on throwing downs in his college career and only managed 15 sacks, I believe getting less each year. I think we all rightfully want to complain about the scheme and all that, but this kid, while he has a ton of heart, wasn't very good. He was great in high school when his sized was an advantage. Wish him well but can't imagine he will do much at next level.

So it's the size advantage huh?

Explain to me then how he was more effective as a freshman weighing 245 lbs than he was as an upperclassman.

Chick lost his way at UM. Maybe the whole "I'm a 5 star" thing got the best of him. Maybe it was cliques. Maybe it was his own self-indulgent gorging.

I'm not sure what the source was, but if he had gotten himself in the same rippling shape with his prominent shapely glutes at UM that he did after his vacation scholarship expired, UM would have been better off for it.

I can assure that Coach Tomlin won't put up with Chick's slacking. He'll cut him in a heartbeat.

I hope every Cane drafted have outstanding careers, not just b/c I root for them even when they get in the NFL, but b/c there needs to be another indictment on Golden's scheme. I hope Chick and DP52 go to multiple, MULTIPLE pro-bowls. I hated Golden the moment he said, "the talent is not here" during his 2nd year. Who says that about their own roster???! Coach Al Fools Golden, that's who!
