How is that him and Deon are competing for the same spot? NEED our 2 most talented safeties on the field at the same time!

And Hester also competing behind them? Those are the 3 most talented safeties in my opinion...

A lot of you guys dont remember how good Jacory looked early on. He was a Heisman contender for a few weeks in '09.

Threw the most incredible pass I've ever seen from a Miami quarterback.

The corner route against FSU?

It's pretty crazy how that throw literally ended up being the apex of his career. It was all downhill from that moment.

Anyone defending Jacory is outside their mind and didn't really watch the games back then...homeboy never met a triple coverage he wasn't convinced he could jam a ball into. Easily one of the worst QB's I've seen from the standpoint of understanding down and distance, game situation, and when/where to take a risk.

He single handidly lost that game at Ohio State. He was basically their 12th player.
 
Yup. If this is Saban or a legitimate championship coach, Kaaya starts. Fat Albert strikes again. I mean think about it, a fifth year senior is running neck and neck with a true freshman. That should tell you all you need to know about the lack of skill of the 5th year senior. Heaps is a Kansas reject...effin Kansas?!?!? 2-10 Kansas!!!!
I know Coley wants Kayaa but golden wants Heaps. Kayaa is Coley guy, he didn't want Heaps at all that's Goldens doing because he was scared.

You know this because...,you are on the staff? You are Coley's best friend and confidant?

Or are you just speaking out of your ***?
I'm pretty sure your a passive viewer. I'm more of an analytical viewer. I can read into to things. You may not have that ability. Everybody different.

lmao hilarious. Your "analytical view" comes off as a sure thing which is not. A lot of what you say sounds like straight up garbage *** BS.

Haven't you figured it out yet? Everyone on here is a coach. ...they know what's best for the program and team. I mean we had a lot of posters video game teams go 14-0 last year

Don't sleep on Dallas. He will find a way to sniff the field, and will make enough plays to make it hard to bring him out.

Garbage is the American english (AE) term and rubbish is a british term so it probably depends on his upbringing.

If I were a tool I would make a grandiose thread about what I'm about to say, but I don't have that much corch-porster in me so I just want to say it here and let the back-page drifters consider my thoughts. Based on the sort of images, reports and impressions coming out of the first four (yes, I know only four) practices I feel pretty confident that Kaaya will be the starter against Louisville. By pretty confident I mean that unless he melts down or lights up with Olsen on top of Memorial he will start.

The way I see the whole Heaps deal is that Golden brought him in not knowing what he should expect from Kaaya; and I think at the same time he didn't know what to expect from Heaps. The same way we gave Heaps the benefit of the doubt for having a basketball school to throw passes to, Golden most likely did the same. Maybe he is this great talent brought down by system and lack of surrounding talent. He was a five star prospect after all. But now that he's here, besides being a mommy's boy "yes sir, no ma'am nice to meet you" smiles guy and being "vocal", i.e. weirdly texting future receivers he doesn't know who seem to also find it kind of weird, he has not wowed anybody to any great extent.

But Kaaya seems to be delivering about as well as anyone of us could have expected from a true freshman four days in on the team. It looks and sounds really good. So the Heaps insurance policy, like a life insurance policy, may turn out for us as best as it possibly can: as one you never have to use. Yeah, let's see what happens in full pads, scrimmage, etc. But if Heaps can't impress in shorts, why would he do any better in a scrimmage? Or against Louisville? It works the same both ways after all. Meanwhile Brad Kaaya's mom was an actress in "Friday". No but seriously, I wasn't on the Kaaya train, but the guy with the mutton chops and pocket watch just stamped my ticket, and here's the main reason, as I figure it:

Jake Heaps is an opportunist, not a Cane. His "Miami "U" Made" cut off might as well have said Gatorade on it. Brad Kaaya is a cane...he didn't get kicked around and crawl here with a smiling aw shucks desperation. He committed over all other schools. Probably never even heard of BYU or Kansas. He came to win. In Miami. I think he will.

Golden: Darrell Langham will arrive "tonight."
4:15pm - 8 Aug 14

Our full class is here...nobody needs JuCo or prep... Good job by these recruits to focus on their grades

When was the last time that happened??? If ever???

The only time I can remember a UM class coming in intact without any JUCO or prep kids was Randy's first class in 2007.
 
Jacory Harris actually had a chance to be great until Whipple decided to throw deep every play. Aside from BC his senior year Jacory was actually the best QB we've had since Berlin.

He had a terrible arm. The WR had to be wide open to complete a pass. His ball had way too much air under it.

His arm was fine until he busted his shoulder against FSU. The deep out to Benjamin inside the FSU 5 yard line was one of the prettiest balls I've ever seen a Miami QB throw. After that injury, he was never the same.
 
Jacory was hot garbage at the end, but he is a cane. Also, he is the last quarterback to beat FSU.

My view on safety situation was. Have Deon at free safety. And Jamal and Dallas having an or at strong. even though I think Jamal could play free safety and I do think Deon could play strong too.

I believe I did read though that Deon and Carter were on field at same time today.

And heard staff say they wanna play Deon and Dallas in a nickel/safety role too. Like I have mentioned before for Dallas.

I'm on the boat for having Deon and Jamal as the starters and using Dallas in a honey badger role in the nickel as a safety/nickel. Give me all 3 on the field. That's what I want.

But either way, their will be a main 4 man rotation there. So Deon, Dallas, Carter, and Jenkins all gonna play. I think Hester could make a crack into that as season goes and Gayot could play special teams this year.


Think it's awkward how they have it too. Me personally I would expect the guys at free safety to be Deon, Jenkins and Hester. Then Strong Safety, Jamal, Dallas and Gayot. Makes no sense to me how they have the guys lined up at safety right now, their at the wrong roles.

But this makes me believe their experimenting. Cause Deon and Jamal were on the field at the same time too.

This is spot on. Deon is a free safety all the way. Dallas Is a strong safety.


That's the thing. It's very confusing. I'm just gonna chalk it up to experimenting.

I know Dallas could play free safety too, but he fits the strong safety much better, I honestly think Deon or Carter would be better options than Dallas at free safety.

I could be wrong too, I know Dallas was a ballhawk in high school, 19 interceptions as a junior and senior and has been said to have great instincts, but I just see him more comfortable as a strong safety, very tough player, can hit like a brick.


I'll be happy with. Give me Deon starting at free safety and have either Dallas or Jamal starting at strong. Then you can do some mix and match by putting Deon or Dallas into that nickel/safety.

People get way to hyped up about safety designations. The best two safeties will be out there, and both will at times be forced to handle either spot when we go to coverages with odd back ends. That 3rd safety/nickel position is the one that should be specified more clearly because it will require some different skills.
 
I am all for having all three out there. I actually think Deon would be the best nickel. We know that kid can cover 1v1. And I am not sold on having A.Crawford, Howard and Burns at the same time as they have all been suspect tacklers in the past. I am aware they were young but if you know you have a comparable cover guy, Bush, and hes a much better tackler than I would go there.... Maybe I am over thinking it, but thats my .02
 
Lets not forget it was the year before that too.

Let's not forget that the last two years mean nothing this year. The records and stats don't carry over.

lol ok man...if you want to believe we magically have a top defense thats on you.

Yes. Recruiting better players is now considered magic.

so we're gonna go from one of the worst defense in college football to being one of the top defenses ? In one year ? With D'Onofrio ? Pass me that koolaid when you're done. With the talent we have, I CAN see it happening if D'Onofrio gets it together. Im just not understanding how you're so sure without even seeing us play a snap yet this year.

I think our defense SHOULD be much improved...we do have better players across the board. But I also believe we had enough talent last year not to give up 500 yards. The point I was making is that maybe its not so hard for Kaaya to look good against our defense considering how the QBs last year did against us.

Typical overly emotional reaction from message board clowns, who, most likely, don't converse so irrationally in normal day to day settings.

I never said we'd be a "top" defense this year, so loosen up that garter belt and relax. I said last year or the year before means nothing this year. This year's team will make its own way.

This post should be tacked to the top of the board.
