Oh wait, that's from Hard Knocks and its the Texans running drills (look familiar?)

Maybe many were too quick to claim UM coaches had no clue on this one. Point is that there is no question they have underperformed to date but that doesn't mean they don't know ANYTHING...

The problem was not running the drill, it was running the drill with OLmen. There is no need to work on ball security for OLmen unless the coaches plan on handing or throwing them the ball.
 
That doesn't explain all the homophobic d@ck jokes. I am not a professional football coach, played in HS, but maybe they want a lineman to experience what a RB does. Not too far fetched.

But please, my bigger point is that many are too quick to blindly throw rocks due to obvious, and understandable frustration. It strains their own credibility when they do so...

Fire away.

Relax Bro, there is nothing wrong with making a couple of **** jokes at the expense of coaches.

Lets face it they have a track record of not knowing what they are doing with some of alignments and other formations they have shown during games so when fans question their knowledge in regard to other aspects of coaching it's not a reach.

And if people want to make jokes about its better to add a little levity to the situation instead of just being angry about it. Its all in good fun

Not riled up or rustled in the least way; don't give a hoot about **** jokes. Have at it. That's a red herring.

AG has proven to be tone deaf, excuse ridden and seemingly unable to explain what WE all see (liike defensive backs playing in next time zone when O has the ball on the two). Totally frustrating and sometimes outside the realm of comprehension. Totally valid.

That being said, (over) zealous hatred for the man seems to lead many to go overboard in their critiques and see crap where it isn't. That strains their credibility. I saw this as a valid example.

That's all I am saying.

That's fair.
But nobody has been able come up with a useful reason to have OL running though ball security drills.
Or any other team that runs a drill where OL run through ball security drills.
Since the ncaa rules limit the amount of time teams can actually practice it seems like a more that fair criticism.
**** jokes a side.

Strains the credibility of anonymous message board posters? Cal Jimmy u are rustled.
 
Maybe, just maybe....the big guys who open holes for the running backs just wanted to see what it's like running through one of those. Nothing more or less, they see their teammates do it, so let's give it a shot. That's more plausible than the coaches thinking it's going to benefit the OL at all.

Regarding the jokes that followed, it's typical for here. Most posters view this website as their amateur comedy hour opportunity.
 
Or, god forbid they were just having some fun doing it with our OL? Cuz, ya know, we were 6-7, so fun isn't allowed at any point. Even after 2-a-days.

"Why u smilin?
Cuz footballs fun?
Fun, sir.
Footballs fun, sir.
Football isn't fun anymore, is it?
No, sir
Is it?
Zero fun, sir."

Maybe its a form of resistance running/sprints. Instead of bands, they have them sprint through there.
 
If any of you have played football and had one of these Gauntlet machines you would know you have to get up to speed pretty quickly to go threw it. Nebraska had their lineman go threw it in the early 90's when they were practicing pulling. Don't know if that was what Miami was doing but I will tell you running through it is not as easy as you think.

U are aware that's a skill player running through there as opposed to and offensive freaking lineman

You are taking it in a vacuum. If some on the street tells you something, it might be true. If a politician tells you something on TV, you just know it is a lie. Al has established a rep of "can't coach would a crap";now he and his people have to live with it. Hey, sometimes a politician might be telling the truth and sometimes Al might know what he is doing, BUT the chances are so small why give either the benefit of the doubt. Understand?
