Dallas is a 2000 miami safety, the play is never over with him. He hits his own players if he has too.

These ****ers do this to me everytime. I'm trying to remain cautiously optimistic but they're getting me hyped again.

#Canes QB Brad Kaaya on time he's spent, sacrifices made to get ready: "I came here to play football. That was my whole decision...(1/2)

More Kaaya: "I wasn’t coming to Miami to just enjoy the extra stuff that Miami has.”

Wanna circle back to David Njoku really quick: Him moving to LB may not be bad. Some guy named DJ Williams (you've might of heard of him) and a guy named Dan Morgan (you may have heard of him too) came in as offensive guys and made the switch, and you know, the rest was history. David would be an absolute nightmare as a SAM. He was nice as a LB in high school, as well; putting up 85 tackles in a 10 game season is pretty impressive. Could you imagine D Jax on one side and D Njoku on the other side?? How will the QB be able to throw over them on those quick slants? FINALLY, we're starting to have (bump, that) WE HAVE the athletes that can be move around. Our depth is not all the way there, but let this team win 10 games and a bowl victory this year and the elite talent will start flocking to us. We've seen this story before w/ our Canes in the 90's and we know how it eventually turned out in the early 2000's; it's happpening again.

DJ Williams did not come in as an offensive player. He was the #1 LB recruit in the country. But we were so stacked on defense that they put him at fullback for a year just to get his off the charts athleticism on the field.

True...but I think you're missing the point. My point is that DJ was that sort of athlete that could play on O and D...my point is we are starting to get there again. The luxury of having athletes at ALL positions is amazing. When Jimmy was here, he would recruit a guy at S and place him at LB and caused nightmares for the opposition. We are not all the way there, but each year our class is getting better...each year true football players are being on the field. If our qbs become game managers, let's say throw for 2500 w/ 20 TDs and 5 ints and sustain drives for 50% of the game, we will win 10 games this year b/c we finally have talent...and some are becoming two-way talent.
