Day 1 Spring Practice Discussion (photos,videos,reports)

We don't have anyone with the ability to play the zero technique in the 34. I'd settle down on that..

Looks like we will be a 3-4 team. Looking at the photos of practice, I count 4 linebackers in black jerseys. This makes perfect sense and I would love to see the full time move to the 3-4 hybrid system.

always thought McCord would thrive in a 3-4 but who would Miami put over the center?
 
CORAL GABLES, Fla. - The Miami Hurricanes opened their 2013 spring slate Saturday with the first of 15 scheduled practices. The Canes held their two-hour workout at the GreenTree Practice Fields with temperatures in the mid-50s.

Head coach Al Golden, along with the Canes' three new assistant coaches and four players, met with reporters following practice. Among the players that spoke with the media after practice were 2012 Freshman All-American and ACC Rookie of the Year Duke Johnson and senior QB Stephen Morris, who threw for 3,345 passing yards and 21 touchdowns in 2012.

"We had good tempo, a good start today," Golden said. "I told the team that I thought we were better today than we were when we got back from Durham (the last week of November), which is not easy to do with all the transition and having a lot of guys out there for the first time. We made a lot of progress today."

Miami, which returns 10 starters on both offense and defense from its 2012 squad, finished 7-5 overall a year ago and tied for first in the ACC Coastal Division with a 5-3 league mark. The Canes' offense returns all five starters along the offensive line - LT Malcolm Bunche, LG Jon Feliciano, C Shane McDermott, RG Brandon Linder and RT Seantrel Henderson. McDermott is one of seven injured players being held out of spring practice.

On the defensive side of the ball, the Canes return defensive linemen Anthony Chickillo, Olsen Pierre and Shayon Green, who made a combined 35 starts in 2012. Senior Curtis Porter, who started the final three games last season, also returns to bolster the D-line.

Miami's spring practice schedule features four sessions prior to Spring Break (March 10-16). The Canes will return to GreenTree for a Sunday session at 9 a.m., followed by practices Tuesday and Thursday before the break. Miami's first spring scrimmage will take place March 23 at Traz-Powell Stadium. Naples High School will be the site of Miami's second spring scrimmage April 5, followed by its annual Spring Game on April 13 at Sun Life Stadium.

The Canes will have a three-game homestand to open the 2013 season, beginning Aug. 30 with Florida Atlantic. Florida (Sept. 7) and Savannah State (Sept. 21) follow the season opener.

Is Porter capable of being that double team commanding space eater in a 3-4 that cant be budged? A 3-4 cant be effective without that bull at NT.

Appreciate the updates fellas.

Why does everyone on here desperately want to believe Dewey and/or Crow are complete garbage? It's kind of disheartening. QB's are supposed to take a couple years, at least, to develop.



Next season, when Morris graduates, these two, along with Olsen, are going to be battling Williams for the starting gig. I think that's an ideal situation to have a Senior, 2 RS Sophmores, and a highly touted RS Freshman competing for the job.



IDK WTF some of y'all are thinking.

I think Dewey will compete for the starting gig next year, I think he will surprise a few during this year in the spring.

AJ Highsmith has substantially bulked up.

Lt. Philip Nolan ‏@TheStateOfTheU
Danny Dillard apparently lost 15 pounds and runs a 4.5. Not bad at all kid

Lt. Philip Nolan ‏@TheStateOfTheU
Those 15 pounds that Dillard lost? Duke found them. Playing around 195, which is great

Lt. Philip Nolan ‏@TheStateOfTheU
Tracy Howard also put on about 20 pounds. ****. Playing at 180
