After the Storm: CMU

[skeeper]

"Toddler level discipline" was an excellent description in a great write up.

 

[CANEMC]

Yea they are undefeated because of dorsey. Smh

Yea, Josh Allen and their defense.
But anyways, we should've hired him in some capacity.

 

[harphong]

Excellent write-up. Do you have any actual contacts on staff? What are they saying? What are the players saying?

Does Manny/Enos/Baker recognize any of this or are they stuck in their bubble?

I have high hopes on slim odds that any of the staff pays attention to outside analysis.

bubble.

This writeup may be VERY presecient

If I had just woken up from a month-long coma and you would have shown me his numbers after 4 games (73% passing for 1,027 yards, 7 TD’s, and 0 INT’s), I would have said Miami would be 4-0 right now.

This is the only part I disagree with... Jarren threw 3 TDs against Bethune Cookman ( really 2 bc 1 was a screen to Mike Harley and he did all the work getting to the end zone) and won a participation trophy for it, but how is only scoring 4 passing Touchdowns outside of Bethune Cookman equate to having a winning / undefeated record??

Jarren is not even making up for his inability to throw passing touchdowns by scoring touchdowns with his feet which compounds the issue.

Things that I don't understand
Why do we wrecklessly zone blitz on passing downs?
Why don't we give the ball to our best playmakers and utilize their strengths? I.e Jeff Thomas should get most of the jet sweeps with some Mark Pope
Osborn, Brevin, and Hightower should be targeted more on third down and Redzone
Why do we keep playing players that shouldn't be in the game at key moments?

He isnt even at app st. He is the qb coach with the bills.

Josh Allen looks much improved too this year and the bills are 3-0

 

[mirasuegui]

Agree with most of the points: but again think we need to be fair : we got blasted by Wisconsin in Dec. are recruiting class had 19 de commits we had to scramble on the portal to bring in enough players to even field a team, I still think we are double digit players below 85, most of our starters are either true & Red shirt freshmen & sophomores. I think we need to be fair with these coaches : Enos put 30 plus on Alabama and on most SEC teams but had a more mature group, my only complaint is we do have some really slow developing plays. On defense Baker to me is a little to exotic, to much blitzing, DL dropping into coverage, got athletes but it seems we are always in zone not making plays on the receivers but just waiting on them to catch and then tackle.

Being concerned and providing realistic criticism is one thing but just complaining and restating the obvious is just a waste.
At least offer some ‘insight’ and solutions so people who don’t know can have sensible expectations - this is not UM 2001.

Here is an example of decent criticism up to this point in the season, it’s not just “The offense sucks” and “this ain’t the same D.”

You didn't read the write up then?
If you did and you're then referring only to us chimers, bruh, this is what we pay to do on this site.

 

[caneworld]

Speacial team grade should be a fuqin F

Not even an F.... outright Dismissal

 

[JD08]

There's something I'm starting to notice about analytics. People are touting one measure or another as evidence that certain things should not be a concern. Individual stats that are positive are nice to see because it gives a cause for optimism, but analytics are supposed to be used to improve the team, not brag about individual measures.

I'm seeing this in areas other than football also. Businesses have begun boasting about KPI's as if they were the purpose of their existence.

I don't care if we're in top 10 running defenses. We're at .500 against one decent team and 3 ****** ones. Use all those other metrics to improve that one.

Its not a coincidence that Cam hasn't been the same since he left him. Dorsey can coach QBs.

 

[ThomasM]

this makes me miss richt. for all his faults, we were better on D, O, and penalties. the only thing manny has on richt right now is the punter

Had Richt started Williams, he might still be here. Not that his O was any good, but it was far worse with inaccurate QBs.

 

[crossover22[]_[]]

I may be reading into this but if the mood is one of positivity for just barely eking out a win and they think that they’re on the cusp of getting things going if they stay the course then even if they do recognize problems I can’t see much changing schematically or strategically.

But like you say, we’ll get our answer very quickly against VT.

If they think things are close then we are ****ed.

As a Panthers fan i can say cam looks way worse since losing dorsey.

Had Richt started Williams he would’ve retired sooner... In case u missed it Jarren is one of the most inaccurate QBs all time beyond 15 yards and he can’t score TDs

Ha, but he WOULD hit more 7 yard passes than Rosier or Perry.

After previously improving their penalty situation each week, UM regressed big-time and racked up an atrocious 13 for 93 yards vs. CMU, showing toddler-level discipline.

My toddler (who will ask for milk, then fall down on ground screaming and crying when handed milk 5 seconds later) is insulted at having his discipline compared to that of the team. Otherwise - your spot on analysis is much appreciated as always!

 

[NE Canes]

**The greatest errors have spawned from running a variation of offense that runs counter to the talent Miami has on the offensive line. Similar to Richt before him, Enos is running a variation of the pro-style offense with spread elements, predicated on the offensive line getting push up front in the run game and holding their pass blocks for more than 2 seconds. It’s been said before, but it’s almost as if this offense is being run like Enos is still at Alabama, with that level of blocker at his disposal.

The fact that this keeps happening is beyond me. Watching all the speed sit on the sideline while we run 3 TEs is painful.

It makes no sense for a rational OC to not use all these weapons every chance you get.

 

[Swampcity]

Stefan this write-up is one of the best. I hope the Corch's cut it out and read intently. It could only help.

Or a college football simpleton, like myself, would say... It's the EYE TEST, baby. The eye test. And from my viewpoint, Miami is in for a ROUGH conference slate. Yikes.
