Tyrique Stevenson interview

Advertisement
Beat me to it lol Starts talking about Miami around the 15:00 mark. He pretty much said what we've all suspected for many years but still a gut punch to hear it from someone that played here.

It’s too bad we stopped recruiting DBs at Miami, nobody on this roster comes anywhere close to TS talent wise. We recruit well elsewhere but elite DB and a few other positions dont come here anymore for now hope that changes

When u can’t trust others you’re not playing your best. U peak in the backfield cause the front keeps giving up plays etc.

I don’t think it’s trusting others man. It’s just discipline. You see a play you can make and go for it leaving your assignment. Happens to all the great playmakers. ALL OF THEM! Other teams see your tendencies and set you up. Cat and mouse game. You put the cheese in front of the mouse, he gonna go get 100 percent of the time lol.

We get a gem every now and then, just have to get a roster full of them at db. Even with what most would say “sub par” db recruiting we still get a bevy of 4 star recruits at the position more often than not and even put alot of dbs in the league when you look at the numbers. Actually if you break it down db is probably the position Miami has done the best at in the draft in the last 10 years in terms of draft position and actually being productive in the league too other than maybe dline or tight end.

He’s a great player in the NFL and he was decent here but I’ll never forget the images of he and Ivey getting smoked for deep balls 🏈 over and over and over that season. It was atrocious. And then both of them make it to the NFL and are doing really good at that level but they underperformed here 🤷🏻‍♂️

The key is building up tolerance, and immunity, bit by bit. This is why all teams should have a cheese room.

I am a Kam fan, but in his case, I think some poor instincts and weaknesses (GT, UNC, UL) showed, too. Tyrique is a different level of player, IMO.

Nah tyreke had his share of **** ups here. Every player has blunders. It’s part of the game. That’s why I don’t blame a player for one bad play, even if it looks like that one bad play cost us the game. Because you run 180 plays on offense, defense, and special teams a game and they all add up to the final score.

Can anyone tell me what he said about the team’s attitude going into the Middle Tennessee State game? I couldn’t understand what he said. Thanks.
