Updates from practice (Day #2)

[CaneSince07]

Ain't heard Mack's name yet, he healthy ?

 

[JHallCanes]

Jacobs has been saying our DBs have been playing a lot of press man in practice as that has been something he has needed to improve upon.

Sellers was horrible last year and he keyed on Harbor a lot

Jacobs still put up numbers

Idk man I feel like saying these guys are being “slept on” is redundant because there’s too many to talk about. But he could light it up this year

 

[Trav]

There's a bunch of guys who can make plays. I'm saying there's going to be heavy rotation

I don't know how Dawson sleeps at night thinking about how to get all these guys touches. You legit have 7 guys that need to see the field. And that's assuming Spafford, Parris, and Evans don't break through.

 

[TwentySix]

if you take off the playoff games, as I said he was simply solid

Based on… what? He averaged 14.5 y/r if you take away the playoff games, which would have been good for 10th best in the country.

The bigger issue for me with him back there is some of the decisions, way too much fielding punts inside the ten for me, but he had big returns in plenty of games, even though he didn’t score (oftentimes because guys missed blocks or just straight up ran into him)

 

[VustyVoles]

Who has shown the highest level of twitch over the first two days? @DMoney

 

[Canes2026Champs]

Oh boy, QBs are turnover machines! /s/

Nah our secondary is just that good. There ain’t a QB in America that could throw on these guys more than 30 times and not get picked off.

 

[Canes2026Champs]

Pringle scares me back there. Can he catch a punt at the 10 in November at Notre Dame?

Helllll naw. Mali needs to be back there, especially from November till the end of the season.

 

[YankeesCane]

Hoping Moore is ahead of the 2 transfers

Well the media would say CJ Carr

 

[ST26]

This thread contained more updates from 247 writers than from the people we actually support.

@DMoney tighten this **** up.

@DMoney and Ahmmon did a great 50-minute show talking about the VIP portion of practice. I don't see anyone else in Canes media doing that

 

[Alex_Dynamix]

How many returns did he take back to the house ?

Yes, PR is about making the correct play and being sure handed as well. 1 was in the Top 10 in returns, but if you take off the playoff games, as I said he was simply solid, which btw is not an insult.

Miami Hurricanes PR should be dangerous, feared, and explosive.

Guys like buddy from Iowa and Texas. They had twice as many yards in less games. And TDs.

1 hasnt done that yet on PR. Hes only a year in so ofc he can improve, but its not blasphemous or insane to say the return game can be improved upon.

 

[killacam]

I know Toney is our best player but it would be nice if someone else can help on punt returns

Lets get more burners on KO returns

No. Toney is a threat every punt return to take it to the house. Give me that threat on special teams.

Dawson was talking him up the other day. We haven't had a player like him in ages. All it takes is 1 play he takes to the house to keep him on the field

 

[Alex_Dynamix]

If you don't think Mali's a threat to return one every time he touches it I'm not sure what games you were watching.

Dude said our Punt returner should be dangerous, feared, explosive, as if that doesn't decribe Mali to a tee, cant make this **** up.

 

[Numb Nuts]

Brother, if I can't bust the owner's balls, what the **** are we even doing here?

 

[ScorpionKane1]

Likely next year. Fitz likely to take over from Poyser (NFL) and open up that Nickel role.

Is poyser eligible to come back next year?

Yeah, he’s a junior this season

And it is my belief that he slowed down thinking he had 6 against a&m…
