I never hated a team more until this one. Its full of losers from top to bottom. They disgust me
While the W-L record has been underwhelming and the team clearly needs to fight harder more often (and not just go through the motions at times), there are some great players on the team that have done a lot for Miami football:
1) Brevin was huge bringing players like Bolden & Martell to the U in the offseason (which did create more competition in the QB room). Bolden is also a quality addition. The momentum he built led to others like Jaelan coming on board. The W-L record would be way worse, if we didn't have Brevin. He's also a stud at TE and will be drafted high. We're very lucky to have him.
2) Deejay: also gives maximum effort & shows great leadership. Magnetic personality too.
3) Rousseau: he's been a beast for us & by all accounts is one of the highest quality individuals on the team.
4) Blades: bleeds orange & green and an intelligent individual. He's not perfect (no DB is) but he has played hard for us.
5) Hedley: been a rock as a punter and a fun individual.
6) Murphy: while some of the celebrations may have been excessive, he gives everything he's got. Special teams would have been way worse without Jimmy Murphy. He embodies the effort that is lacking from some others.
There are other quality individuals on the team. N'Kosi also deserves credit for hanging in there this season & showing maturity (in a challenging situation for him). He may not be Warren Moon but he has shown fight this season & given the best he was capable of on any given day.
I think the reality is if we had a good Kicker from the beginning of the season, we would likely only have 2-3 losses and be feeling different. The FIU loss was terrible though. Embarrassing. Poor effort. Really untimely for recruiting. We need more players that hate to lose.
