So a friend of mine broke down Gabby and Lake 2nd scrimmage podcast. Here are the notes he took:
OFFENSE!
* TVD was TVD
* Jake Garcia needs work on Gattis’s playbook. Lake says he needs to stop forcing throws & sometimes go conservative or throw it away.
* Jacurri up & down. Just typical freshman things.
* Drops (not so great)
* Rooster is gonna be RB1. Staff is keeping him in healthy with limited snaps. Being VERY cautious on him.
* Thad & Parrish ran the ball just fine.
* Davon Perry looked decent (walk on RB)
* Chaney’s injury is hopefully a 6-8 week thing… yikes
* WR - the biggest question mark of the entire team. Make or break basically
* Ladson & Smith most likely starters on the outside. They like Keyshawn as WR1 right now. “Frank is frustrating the most” says he isn’t using his body like he should.
* X looks good, had a drop in the scrimmage. Predict him to get 800 ish receiving yards.
* They need to win more 50/50 balls. Not enough contested catches. It was more of 25/75. It could also mean the secondary is seriously legit.
* Mello, George, Smith flash, need more consistency. Thinks if Ladson & Keyshawn struggle these guys are going to play a lot more.
* Jacolby was the only one with a receiving TD. (YIKES).
* Cannot drop the ball or you will get benched. Lake thinks this is another possible Pope/Wiggins situation…
* Sounds like they are throwing the ball and trying to utilize TVD at his best.
* TE group looks fantastic. Arroyo is gonna be the starter with Mallory injured.
* Expect two TE sets. Skinner is going to play.
* Jalen Rivers = STUD
* John Campbell has taken a big improvement. Still needs work but has been serviceable
* The group is good. The coaches are happy with the O Line.
* They really like Gattis & confident he’s gonna do his job just fine. Plenty of praise for him. Potential HC one day they mentioned.
DEFENSE!
* They think the defense is going to be borderline great / elite.
* “Darrell Jackson is a freak” Lake thinks him, Mesidor, Agude are game changers.
* Harvey is very talented & athletic. Thinks he’s the 1B for Agude.
* JHH & LT “20-25 snaps” make those plays.
* Chantz Williams “talented and very athletic” 20-25 snaps.
* Jake Lichtenstein “freak, his length is gonna be important”
* Moultrie is “very quick”
* It’s going to be a lot of personnel on the offense they face. But sounds like the transfers are going to start. Mario fixed that room quickly.
* David Lake: “deepest group in my 15 years working for Miami”
* DL group is stacked. Strongest part of the team other than safety & TVD. Much much better than 2021. They think it can be as good as Clemson.
* Linebacker play is “serviceable”
* Caleb Johnson is going to start. Says he’s super strong and has shocked some players he’s tackled.
* Keontra Smith needs improvement. Execution isn’t 100% there.
* They think Steed & Johnson are the two primary starters. It’s more of experience at first who’s gonna play more. Staff wants to see Wesley & Chase in games more before giving them more playing time.
* James & Tae looked fantastic. Safety room loaded
* Rique was at STAR. Looked good
* Te’Cory Couch has been locking down ****!
* Couch & Porter can play nickel
* Rique, Dunson, Frierson more physical guys.
* “The D line group is going to help the secondary”
They said the A&M game is a big test & game you’ll see how the team is. The coaching has been fantastic. Much praise for Addae & improving the secondary significantly. Players will play more on certain schemes they face. Georgia Tech for ex. “9 personnel groups on defense” Lake thinks they’ll have a top 30 defense.
