I hadn't noticed. I'm just doing my best to understand people's true positions.
I don't care about transfers starting. That kid from UCLA looks decent on his film. Wouldn't mind him starting at all. I like Pat Bethel but I think this kid put a lot of good stuff on film.
Wouldn't mind if Bubba Bolden was here already, working with Feely, getting in Miami shape, etc... He's not though and he hasn't earned anything. People would complain about Redwine and his limitations but want to anoint a kid that hasn't really played any college ball. His HS film is good though.
Wouldn't mind if Trevon Hill was a starter, he just doesn't seem to be a run stopper. The dude can run like nobody's business. He's a talented pass rusher and he could probably come in the game in on second down depending on what the offense is doing.
I didn't assume Trevon Hill would start because when Chad Thomas was starting at SDE he was around 275 and Joe Jackson was at 250 or so and he was at WDE. That was the way it was in 2016 and 2017.
Last offseason, Joe Jackson got up to 270 or so and moved down to SDE and Garvin became the WDE. When the most recent roster came out, Garvin was still weighing in the 250s (even though he got big in the weight room) and Hill was 245 or something like that. Both of those guys are WDEs in a Manny Diaz defense. Thats why I assumed Patchan (or Rousseau, who is backing up Hill) would start.
Tate, I haven't heard any reports confirming that he was better than any other QB on the roster. I only see porsters grasping at straws to create false narratives. If he is the best QB and he is outperforming the other two, I'm sure the media would be reporting it. Quite frankly guys, thats not whats being reported... Anywhere.
