Seems like Perry targets Harley as opposed to JT and I wonder if this is because he’s more in tune timing wise from working with him with the second unit.
Hope he finds JT soon even though Harley looks pretty good catching the ball.

He’s thrown less than ten passes with JT in the game and one of them went to JT. How do we get real data from that?

Look, I know we've played some suspect teams, but that defensive 3rd down percentage is fcking amazing. Think about how bad we've been even against bad teams and for how long. How many years has it been since you had any faith we'd keep a team like UNC from converting 3rd and 8? I really can't say enough about that stat. If opposing teams don't figure some sht out on 3rd down we're going to be very, very hard to beat all season.

Not only that, but UNC kept a safety deep on JT pretty much the whole time he was in there.. Kosi was just making the right reads.

Disagree here. The issue is not that Thomas didn’t take a knee, it’s that the kick return blocking is horrible. A good returner should be able to take that kick out, but the KR team, like the PR team, like the PA team, like the FG team, like the Punt team have no clue on how to block or set up the runner. I left out the Kick off team, but then I remembered GT last year and that return was so egregious that it had to be included.

All Hartley had to do was look across the field and see how UNC set up their blocks - runner had a full head of steam and green grass before a Miami defender was near.

Sloppy is a euphemism; Special teams shouldn’t be this hard. Right now special teams are a full liability.

so with our Athletes its a coaching issue!, I love Hartley's ability to recruit and coaching the TEs. But either he needs help or needs to be replace as the ST coach.
 
Defense A-.... Come on. How can anyone give that defense an A-?!?! Lol. I would love to see what an A+ Defense look then. Cause that was lights out! You’re going on with that one lol

Yes. And ST's may come back to haunt Miami. OUCH!

Not only Harley: Langham, Hightower etc. They have to be purposely playing them more snaps due to his comfort level.

Richt was very conservative with the offensive gameplan and was obviously trying to protect the freshman QB in his first start

That 2nd series was garbage.

The QB controversy was put to bed… although Mark Richt kept it going until the last possible minute. The stadium jumbotron announces the starting lineup 15-20 mins before kickoff and Richt declined to submit a QB; the announcer completely skipped the position. Richt even went so far as to have Malik Rosier take snaps from Tyler Gauthier and give handoffs to Travis Homer (both first-teamers) in pre-game warm-ups. What we expected ultimately happened, as N’Kosi Perry took the first snap of the game for his first career start. It was the right move by Richt and it was simply time to move on from Rosier, as he’s taken this team as far as he could.

Richt had no choice than to start Perry. The entire stadium would have turned on him and it would have been an ugly scene hearing Rosier booed as he walked on the field for the first snap. Richt made the choice when he let Perry play the entire game against Toledo. There was no going back unless Perry started and played awful
 
I'm a bit concerned about ST's and the QB run, if those two things rear their head in a more closely contested game we could be takin an L.
They almost blocked a punt when we did that stupid wide out shift into regular formation crap, I can only assume that it was something we wanted to test out for some odd reason because it made zero sense.

St. Louis is going to get Perry killed. Something has to be done there.

Scaife is the answer. Now that Richt has benched Malik in favor of Perry, he needs to get Scaife on the field. Throw Scaife into the fire at LT. Move St. Louis to RT and Donaldson back to RG.

I hope we don't have any restrictions in the game plan/playbook next week for Kosi. We gotta work jordan/mallory in the middle of the field more vs FSU to expose their linebackers.

The seam is wide open against FSU's 2 deep safety look. It's there for the taking.

I want to see Manny use more 3-4 fronts like he did on the Garvin TD. Maybe it can help stop the run as well.

It was a nickle package zone blitz. They did have 3 down with shaq and Joe standing on the edge, so it's more of a 3-4 look. Joe dropped and Shaq stunted behind Garvin. It was a nice twist to manufacture pas rush with 4.

When your D outscores the other team 21-10 (should have been 21-3), it's an A+ game. Plus all the tackles for loss, 3rd downs, etc.
 
People are expecting perfection from the Defense which will never happen.

I think I saw a stat where 43 % of UNCs run plays were either tackles for loss or near the line of scrimmage.

That is about as perfect as we are going to get against the run.

I'm not so sure about that. I think there is significant room for improvement . Go back and look at the ND game last year. I dont think they did much of anything in the running game against us. I realize that Manny's scheme has it's faults but I don't think that his scheme automatically dooms us to be a unit that is inconsistent vs the run. I think his defense puts an enormous amount of pressure/responsibility on the free safety. That player must make all the checks and calls while also being a dependable eraser and JJ is that guy. Amari is getting there but he is not quite at that level yet.
