#1 is a liability(the one on D)

[ScubaCane]

I just don't think Mauigoa should be starting for us. I understand he's a leader and he has experience. I just don't think he's athletic enough to play MLB in the modern game against all of these pass happy teams. He can't cover and is horrible at tackling in space.

Who do you think should start?

 

[RozayCane]

He’s good against the run and they probably want to keep his brother happy.

Also, not sure there’s a true good replacement at the moment.

He actually played the pass decently this past game. Two pbus if I recall

 

[bobbydigius]

He is flawed and we should do better but he isn’t awful and based on what we need at Mike he is currently the best we have.

 

[TriStarCane]

I think he’s playing too many snaps and is getting tired

2 PBUs but also had 8 caught against 10 targets per Canesport. Not good.

 

[bacane]

Yeah, let’s pull his scholarship & NIL money. Terrible player & we have so many great players ready to go behind him. We’re 7-0 & could be so much better if he wasn’t on the field. Do you people listen to yourselves?

sucks giving him #1 hasn't worked out the way it should

I think OP is overreacting. But I also think Kiko is being overplayed. Popo looked good out there, and gives Kiko a rest. Also, we could pull the MLB and play a striker like Chase Smith or Bobby Washington who are faster and plenty big enough. Just be a little more conservative on blitzes/stunts, and balance out the snaps more, and a lot of this goes away, IMHO.

He’s in a funk right now but he’s showed he’s athletic enough last year imo to play linebacker at a high level. Hopefully he gets it together

play any of our lbs... bobby, popo or Pruitt --- Kiko just seems so slow this year, cant have that at his position the way our defense is this year

One of them appeared to be PI iirc

Smith looks super slow. Injuries have ruined him. You see him on that kick return and also the fake punt. He is a liability.

That’s why I asked the question. There is no replacement as Popo has been ok but not worth unseating Kiko in my opinion

what's the point of posting? just come here on every thread and kill every conversation. we don't need canesinsight anymore because we are 7 -0 ..... everybody shut up

Pruitt weighs 210lbs you can’t start him at MLb when our DT are already small.

Does Bobby know the defense and calls? It’s more to it when it comes to replacing your defensive captain and MlB.

Go on...

I remember when our fans did this same thing with Shaq.

 

[dycane]

If he were the exact same player on a Manny team, everyone would have been pointing to him (and many other current starters) as an example of why Miami needs to hire a guy like Mario who can recruit. Somehow, the greatest recruiter in America managed to assemble the least athletic back seven in modern Miami history.

 

[JHallCanes]

Kiko is still the same guy he has always been

For the people asking for someone else, have you just not watched how much Popo has been playing more and more?

You guys play too much NCAA 2025
