Diaz updates team after Wed. drills, speaks on Lingard

[ddann]

Meh who cares about speed when blocking is obviously the most important thing for every position on offense except QB.

Actually, if the coaches could teach Jarren to block it would really help with pass protection.

 

[streetja]

This game will say a lot. Not only because it's the start of our ACC run at home or it's our first game back after CMU, but also because it comes the same week as our two best practices according to Diaz.

Fail to follow that up with a good performance against dog**** VT and Manny is confirmed to be Al Golden levels talking out of his *** 24/7.

 

[cway313]

If Lo trasfers without getting a chance, after the f*cking bums I seen play I may go with him. Entire OL has looked like **** 4 games and they still roll those mfs out there week in week out. Robert Knowles enough said. DJ Ivey may be the slowest CB in ACC and rolls out there every game. Scott Patchan still getting blocked by CMU and he starts every week. Miss me with this bullsh*t feed LO to the wolves like the rest of these bums.

 

[BS85]

I'm trying to give Manny a chance but if Lo ends up transferring after the entire world saw it coming, I'll steal a plane and fly the **** banners myself

 

[DemCanesByke]

The comments on Lo and Zion are both terrifying. This is cfb not the pros. Not playing your best player for pass blocking is retarded. If you run a systems too complex for your best playmakers to learn then you’re a dumb ***. Zion not even being challenged? He’s losing me more and more each day

who says he is the best player though?? 247 recruiting rankings??

 

[Klamalama]

After Wednesday’s drills, Miami head coach Manny Diaz stated that he’s been pleased by how his team has looked this week coming out of the bye and preparing for Virginia Tech.

“Yesterday was actually our best Tuesday of the year, was our fastest practice of the entire season - we can measure all the data through our Catapult system,” Diaz said. “The guys have had a great attitude all week.”

Great! Then we can expect no more dumb-*** penalties.

The most obvious answers are often the most overlooked. Good job!

How would we know? We haven’t seen him play. This is like Storm Johnson in 2010 never getting a chance. Sorry if I don’t trust the evals of our staff after watching their other personnel choices. Let the kid get some carries

 

[AHURT12]

If Diaz is preventing Lingard from playing because he needs to work on things like pass protect we should be playing with 6 players at all times.

Diaz is not preventing anything if he cant pass block he's preventing himself from playing. I saw his practice film I felt he doesn't appear ready. The bounce wasn't there

 

[Number1CanesFan]

Quite frankly, I'm tired of all the excuses and spinning. Score shouldn't matter when putting Lingard in the game. Just hand him the ball and see what he can do. What's the point of putting him in up by double digits late in the game against worn out scrubs?

The team played terrible, yet Manny continues to spin. If he saw the lackadaisical effort the Wednesday prior to the CMU game, then what did he do about it to nip it in the *** before the game? Nothing. I think he's too much of a friendly player's coach. Stop spinning. Call players out. Get the job done!!!!

Manny sees “what Lingard can do” in practice every day, eg. pass blocking etc., you don’t. If Manny doesnt put him in against the 1s, then there’s a reason.

 

[The Franchise]

Consistently, UM leads the world in 4 and 5 stars that the coaches are too scared to play. Instead of seeing Lingard as a tremendous weapon who might give us something Harris wasn’t against sorry *** CMU we need a gigantic lead against that **** pile to play him.

WE live in a constant state of fear when it comes to playing talented guys. Then when they get out there they’re so paralyzed by fear of making mistakes that they play slow when they do play. Defeatist organization for so long.

 

[The Franchise]

Miami. Where 5 stars are too dumb to learn our system. Everyone else can figure out how to get their 5 stars to perform at a high level, we don't even put ours on the field.

Funny thing is our opponents know their plays and our plays. But our coaches think our **** is so complex our players can’t get it.

 

[The Franchise]

I think its funny all the clamoring for Lingard, but if he misses a blitz P/U and gets the QB hurt or turns the ball over for a TD everyone's attitude would change. Acting like he's being held back is a joke.

Yeah because our QB hasn’t been getting hit without Lingard in the game. Pugsley from CMU got a free run at Jarren and bellyflopped on him in the end zone. Busted Jarren up pretty badly too. Lingard was nowhere near the field on that or any of the other kill shots that have been levied on him all year.

 

[For_The_U]

Because none of these head coaches respect Blake and that’s clear. And because they don’t respect him even if Blake is trying to have some oversight it basically goes in one ear and out the other RVA. It’s what happens when your AD is really just a ticket Salesman. Smh the disease within this program runs so deep idk if it’s even curable anymore.

****, bro, that's a harsh post. Also true.

 

[Theedy50]

Our OL needs help from the RBs so if you don't know your assignment then you're getting Jarren killed (more than normal).

Putting Lo in and him getting the ball every time and not using play action will work for a half of football at most.

Put Lo in and the ground game gets going even more then the play action might actually work. I like both Cam and Deejay and think they’re really good backs but Lingard too me is just a different type of explosive. Im not sure he’ll get in and do much better or even better at all but there’s no way I’m willing to not play him and find out. He can transfer to anywhere in the Country and play. Hope we don’t ***** this up and have the kid come back as an opponent to rush for 300 on us

 

[PSU Cane]

Let the guys play - and when WRs or RBs miss blocks and it shows up on tape, let THEM answer to their teammates. Jarren needs to hold them accountable. Deejay needs to hold them accountable. Some of this has to be owned by the players, not just the coaches saying you won't play or making statements with the depth charts and media jabs. We need leaders on this team and outside of Deejay on offense, i don't see any. Similar on D. Who's the leader? Shaq coordinates but he seems quiet. Maybe Pinck? Who else?

I understand it to a degree bc you need to set a standard and make your guys work hard and earn it. But somebody like Lo, who has always been regarded as the hardest of workers, seems like a guy who will do it the right way.

I’d like to Zion play without his hand down tbh. Of course I’d like that to be w Jarren in shotgun or pistol also.

Lo should get as many carries as cam Saturday. He should not get more than Dallas. That is clear. But let the kid loose a little.

 

[Canes1968]

Jesus Christ, most everybody in this thread is part of the reason these kids have such entitlement. Everybody around them is telling them how badly they are being slighted and how much they deserve to get on the field and that they should just go looking for greener pastures if they don’t get what they want right now. Instead, they should be hearing that they need to work harder and and be patient and good things will come. Continue to improve yourself and compete and good things will come.

 

[1LuvCane]

+1 . The mismanaging of players is distasteful BY THIS COACHING STAFF (amateur hours and it shows) just like if Zack McCloud wasn't willing to redshirt prior on his own we would have waist his last season but yet they say he is too valuable. Smdh

Don't get me wrong I'm still pulling for this staff to be successful by all means but this talk is all too familiar and US fans have seen this outcome way too many times before.

GO CANES!
