We had zero pass rush this year. Zero. Some was Guidry but I don’t think we have the talent we thought we did.

It was bad but I’m dying to find average time to throw data.

My gut tells me Miami’s opponents threw the ball quicker than about 98% of other teams, because we covered NOBODY all year. The entire season the opposing QB hit his back foot, his first read was open, and the ball was out. It was insane. Go back and watch the Syracuse game. McCord was playing against air in our back 7. It’s hard to get to the QB when the ball is out in 2.5 seconds. But your point is valid, we didn’t have many wins in one on one pass rushing situations.

I think the WRs were open so dam easy if affected how fast the d-line had to get there. With our revamped CB room guys are gonna be locked up on far more occasions

That probably the biggest thing how will the linebackers and young defensive lineman develop. If a few of them take the next step in development that will take our defense up another level to actually being good. Whomever the DC is they need to make sure they have teachers to maximize that front 7

Yes and that's why the DC hire is so crucial. Whoever he is, he would be well served to hire a staff of technical coaches adept at teaching and developing young talent. What his defensive philosophy is will also be a significant factor as far as scheme is concerned. However, whatever his schematic preferences are, it is important that he establishes rock solid fundamentals as the foundation. Guidry to me was a guy who did a good deal of unconventional things that were nothing more than silly gimmicks because there was absolutely no foundation in terms of fundamentals, discipline and communication.

Agreed on all points. Look at the DEs who played most of the snaps. Bain was ok but was coming off an injury and clearly missing the burst and explosiveness that we need from our weakside DE. He may be too big for the position. Baron was an undisciplined freelancer who refused to set an edge. He fattened up vs the weaklings on the schedule then went AWOL in conference play. Alston was hurt for most of the conference schedule. Mesidor was coming of an injury and was playing out of position at DT. Malik Bryant is clearly not starting caliber and kids like Cole McConathy, Armando Blount, Marquis Lightfoot and the rest of the freshmen DEs weren't ready to contribute in a meaningful manner. This offseason will be crucial for all those young kids.
