Funny, but spot-on true. Whatever talent comes back on D will be overcome and then some by D'Onofrio and his grapefruit brain.

Agreed
The only player that stepped up regularly was Perryman, and even he disappeared for significant stretches. I don't blame him necessarily, or all of the other players on D, because coaching put them in a position to royally underachieve, but still, there were few players if any on D leaving that "made their presence felt."
Gaines the biggest IMO, but even there, he was a far cry from Vilma.
Quick, I've got a cream puff of an "antique" AMC Matador that I'd like to sell you for $30K, it's worth twice as much.
Call me quickly.

Agreed
Someone that writes covering the Canes should implement the same jersey-color system that Golden implemented in the preseason, for the coaching staff following games, including Golden.
Maybe at some point he'll get it a/o consider doing something about it.
Man I hope this happens...

If Wyche is who the coaches supposedly think he is, he'll start.

If Wyche can't beat out Moore for the starting spot next year, then we are in for a long long year on defense....

Wyche should start from day 1... we didn't recruit him to play backup.

^^Lets hope he gets in. Hertolou better be solid as well. Come in and start from the get go. Was he able to get in early? If not, when? I know it's been posted elsewhere, so apologize for the redundancy.

Wyche is petitioning the ACC but not likely to get hear until he spends one more semester at Juco. Heurtelou is supposed to get in, but not here yet.

There will be zero pass rush on non-obvious passing downs next year just like this year.
It was painful watching Chick, Porter and Pierre/Robinson try and generate a pass rush this season.
you don't think another year in the weight room will have McCord and AQM become more well rounded players, where they don't have to play on just pass downs?
Golden can't even sniff Zook's scraps... Golden is at best an average recruiter.

Whoever supplants Shayon will bring more pass rushing ability on non-obvious passing downs.
McCord, AQM, Kamalu, Thomas, Harris, Smith, Jackson, McCray are all pass rushers.
But I do agree that it was painful watching 3 DTs try to get to the QB. Guys like Chad Thomas should help alleviate that.

2014 defense will have more flexibility to move in and out of different fronts.
Kamalu and Chick can both play out of the DT and DE positions. The 2 JUCOs seem built to play the Nose in a 3-4 or DT's in a 4-3 on early downs.
Would like to see AQM gain a good 20 pounds this offseason so he can play on early downs.
If Chad Thomas can come in at around 255 he should see playing time sort of like AQM did this year but be more productive.
LBs will be bigger and overall faster with Kirby and Figueroa seeing more action.
With this all this being the case no reason why D'onforio can't play more press at the line.

Hopefully we are able to redshirt a few of those guys but I have a feeling a lot of these guys will be playing primarily special teams (Young, Owens, Gayot, Hester).

The one new recruit I can't get a handle on is Trent Harris. Love is tape as a DE but he's a tweener at the college that I think is best suited at being the prototypical Rush OLB in a 3-4.
