Miami’s starters snap counts from the Virginia Tech game

Why did Horton have two defensive snaps? I know he was #43 in the hail mary scrum but what was the other?

I know Mario highly values a RB being able to pass pro… I’m just going to tell myself that Martinez is head and shoulders above everyone else in that regard. Because that’s the only rationale I can wrap my head around for the play disparity in that room.

Probably the playu before that in case they tried a typical Hail Mary there.

We played the same offensive line the whole game
Just something to look at right there .

Doesn't surprise me. I expect the rotations at multiple positions to get tighter as the season rolls on.

The backups suck. That’s a problem

Chris Johnson needs more snaps

I understand in tight games and when you’re behind you’re gonna rely on your starters more, but he can’t have 6 snaps in a game

I am loving the screens Dawson sets up for him, probably can do the same with Lyle since he's got that speed too.

I agree but also would agree with Ajay Allen

I will say that it does seem to me the coaches agree. They’re looking for ways to get him involved

We needed to rely on the backs that are good in pass pro with the way VT was playing up front

You look at our stars snaps and you got to appreciate travis hunter. He will make a great heisman runner up for Cam

You can see by the snap counts why some of the guys looked gassed at the end.....

Only thing missing and I wish I had the ear of Dawson (hella pause) because I would use CJ in those pop passes and run fakes off those. Like have Cam in the pistol, CJ run across the middle for a pop pass fake (but have him continue to run a wheel route), run fake for the play action which would help get CJ one on one coverage with a linebacker.

I think I saw Andy Reid run something like that before, so this idea isn't new lol

How many backs do folks expect to play? This board might only be happy if we went to the wishbone.
