Definitely thought Kacy was going to be better here.

He was always injured. Might have been decent if ever healthy.

 

[KrazyCane]

It would be criminal to not have Amari Carter, Gurvan Hall, and Bubba Bolden not on the field at the same time in some plays this season. Especially when the LBer position and striker positions are younger in terms of experience.

This Miami defense is talented, and probably the most athletic group Diaz has had at Miami. Also I would say their is more quality depth on this defense than years past.

DE-Phillips/Williams
DT-Ford/Miller
DT-Silvera/Harrison-Hunte
DE-Roche-Harvey
LB-McCloud/Jennings
LB-Brooks/Huff
Striker-Frierson/Smith
CB-Blades/Williams
CB-Ivey/Couch
S-Hall/Balom
S-Bolden/Carter

Weakness 4th DE, experience at LB, speed at CB with starters.

 

[UMFarArcher]

It's ok to type practiCe in the body of the thread?

No exceptions.

Balom as the 4th safety is no bueno

D coordinator is a liability based on what we saw last season. Regardless of the cis brigade shoving stats down our throat I saw a ton of questionable things from Baker last year. Let’s hope the athletic backers help some of the inefficiencies we saw last year.

I would rather have Frierson in rotation as the 4th safety over Balom. He should be fighting for reps at safety to increase his chances of getting drafted or invited to workout... especially with only 3 safeties with experience on the roster.

 

[rok]

He was promoted by Richt right before he retired .... I believe

That's a fact but Banda and Patke were made co-DCs iirc.

Whatever the case, Manny should have full control of that side before during and after games.

I forgot about Frierson, I don't recall him being mentioned yet this fall.

Jennings is running with the ones at mlb, McCloud is back outside.

 

[YUMU]

Jennings is running with the ones at mlb, McCloud is back outside.

thank you. Have you heard anything on who leads at the striker position? How are they both developing?

 

[Cribby]

I haven’t asked about anyone , I was just told other day how good Jennings has been. He’s looked so go that they moved mccloud back outside. Steed has also really surprised coaches , hes definitely going to get burn.

The obvious choice for striker is Frierson , its always been his spot to lose. Even though Smith is really good.

We had Knowles getting significant burn back there for the last 3 years. I think we'll be ok.

This is great news. McCloud, Jennings and Steed know the LB position and this defense. Brooks, Huff, Joyner, Cave, Flagg are still learning to play linebacker in this defense. Their time will come.

Balom, Harrell and Washington vying for the 4th safety spot is fine. Plus, Keontra can play safety in a pinch. We're good there but need Bolden, Hall and Carter to step it up.

Uh, who else would it be. There's Bubba, Gurvan, Carter, then the freshmans.

 

[Shogungts]

Remember, she can't see the stationary bike anymore. That's like half her tweets gone, right there.

I am a little upset that they haven't added the artificial sound of a truck backing up to these interviews.

Huff should get a look at striker since lb the depth is better than expected. He’s still a little undersized , he’d be a good fit. Just my opinion.

 

[DroCane]

She's gotten lazy as ****. That whole interview, and she just puts out 2 tweets. Maybe all of our insults are getting to her.

You guys are lames for making fun of that lady like that.
