Diaz comments on second scrimmage

[Canemang]

Would they let Jarren start his first game in nationally televised game against a rival like Florida though? Remember what happen to Kayaa his 1st start against Louisville? It's risky.

Why do people keep saying this stupid sh*t? So you’d rather have a worse QB start the game you referenced because they have playing experience?

Comparing a RS freshman to a dude who was in campus for 2-3 months is just dumb

You mean the same Jeff Thomas who was the only one with any fight in them when we were getting smacked by LSU?

Yeah the same one that left the team for Illinois! Yeah that one

People acting like Jarren is a true freshman who just showed up to campus like kaaya did. Difference is Williams is possibly a better talent who enrolled early and has been through 2 spring ball practice periods as well as 2 full fall camps.

How is 9-3 … objective? Isn’t it as speculative as 0-12 or 12-0? Are you cowering? What does “objectivity” have to do with it?

And what does “O line is not ready mean? Ready for Florida? Ready for September? Ready for the Coastal? Ready for FSU? Ready for Miami’s defense?

They’re not better conditioned than last year? They’re not better coached than last year? They won’t be blocking around a better scheme than last year?

Seriously, are there 3 teams on Miami’s schedule that have a defense as effective as the Miami Hurricanes defense that the offense faces in practice?
Isn’t 9-3 is a middling non-choice choice? Doesn’t it say we’re not 6-6 and we’re not 12-0 so let’s be in the middle of the two? You don’t believe this team is more than just 2 games better than last year? And, though Manny is a first time head coach he has several ex-head coaches on staff; is this is a better coaching staff than last year? (It’s new, yes, but so are the staffs at UNC, GT and Louisville. Manny ran the team around Hard Rock to let them know Miami will “protect the house” [adidas May have a problem with the slogan] and VT, GT, UVA and Louisville are home games.) Richt = Enos? Richt > Enos? Richt < Enos?

You do realize that Richt might still be the coach but for a competent punter? That Miami could’ve been 11-1 last year with Rosier at QB? And possibly 12–0? (The LSU game, though not “close”, was beatable by a better coached team of the same ability as the ‘18 Miami team.) How is this team not better than last year’s team?

Am I being objective to believe this ‘19 team will go into the ACCCG 12-0?

Bro, I'm sorry my answer provoked such a long and drawn out response, particularly as it was meant as a parody piece I see us at 10-2, but I do also think the O Line is still a liability. Any injury to only 1 starter and we may be in trouble.

What is this disease Diaz says infects some players on da team?

Our D...

The main thing is, we need the entire team to rally behind whomever is selected. Can’t be having splintered factions like in past years cause someone’s personal friend didn’t get the starting job.

I just watched the 2 minute highlight clip from yesterday and I’m calling Williams the starter.

Tate two picks and looks like Rosier throwing the ball. Williams with two great escapes of the pocket and passes to Mallory.

Jarren Williams can be speical. He’s the guy of the 3 you’d hate to lose the most. The other 2 have no chance at playing at the next level & you kinda know what they are already. Jarren with his size & arm strength has the highest upside.

 

[Memnon]

Would they let Jarren start his first game in nationally televised game against a rival like Florida though? Remember what happen to Kayaa his 1st start against Louisville? It's risky.

It's equally as risky starting any of these QB's.

There is no safe bet, the exact same risk is taken with all 3, there's no way to know how any of them will respond vs UF's Defense.

You go with the QB who gives you best chance to win... So somebody get Rosier back on campus & get him a new jersey number... I kid I kid.

This ain't the 1990's no more, True Freshman are starting from day 1 at programs all around the nation, Jarren is a Red Frosh he's not brand new to Football. Tate doesn't have any starts, he played mop up duty vs Oregon St, Rutgers & Tulane & Perry has the most experience of the 3 but he's the most disliked by the fans.

You don't pick the QB based on number of previous starts, you pick the QB based on who operates the offense the best & can drive the team down the field & score TD's.

2nd team DL: Hill / Miller / Gozie / Rousseau

That's not bad right there

 

[Cane6]

I don’t care if the only passing plays we run are screens and 3 step drops, with our collection of skill guys, a top 10 Def and hopefully a punter, there is no reason we can’t go 10-2 at absolute worst.

Mallory is gonna blow up

Well the reason I said the stupid sh*t is because it really does factor into the equation. N'Kosi has played in a big time game before. ****, even Martell has even played a few snaps in big time games at OSU. They may be better equipped to handle the emotion, momentum swings, and adrenaline that goes with playing in a game against Florida. If you start Jarren, it's a catch-22 of sorts. He may rise to the occasion, he may not.

Mike Harley...seems like the light has turned on

 

[Canedog]

Does Jarren steal Tate’s girl if he starts? The plot thickens.

Great question. Kiki not da kind of girl to hang with a second or third stringer. Tate was playin four his woman last night as well as the starting spot and it sounds like he came up short.

 

[Silver King]

Good things and bad things happen in a scrimmage, like they happen in a game, like they happen with turnovers and penalties, like they happen in a season, like they happen in life.

Manny has done what most woke coaches try to do - instill a team 'fight back' trigger to respond when something bad happens. Not to dwell on it and fold up the tent, but to get back after it to where something good happens and you grab the 'Big MO' again. Its part of what the 'Buy in' of new eras.

We'll see how good he's done soon, because in case you haven't noticed, its part of the culture change he described that was desperatly needed after last year.

Watched the Yankees play this last 6 weeks or so? When their starting pitching (defense) has been a little spotty, and they've gotten behind early, they didn't panic. The 3rd time they've seen the pitcher, or get to the pen, they put the talented bats (they know they have - and we always say we have talent) to work.

In contrast, the reigning WS Champion Red Sox - loaded with talent, were going bad and knew after the AS Break they needed to take it to the Yankees (maybe just to make the Wild Card). They start with a 19-3 win, win the next 3, then missed the sweep. Then they tanked.
