We can all agree the talent left on defense by randy shannon who would currently be upper classmen is a dumpster fire.

2011

Al Golden's first recruiting class and currently juniors or redshirt sophmores (What should be the core of the team)

http://rivals.yahoo.com/miami/football/recruiting/commitments/2011/miamifl-11

#36 ranked class, patchwork last minute class when AG took over with no commits and no visits scheduled in December. Small class, some good finds like Dorsett and Scott, many players who never made it here or were kicked off the team


2012

top 10 class, current sophmores or redshirt freshmen, including many of the current contributors and actually talented players on the team. Lack of big recruits in the front 7 on defense and many defensive players we are still waiting and seeing on as they develop. Good class, remains to be seen whether its great or not.

2013

Top 20 class, current freshman, can't be really judged so far but seems to have some promising talent but not a lot in the front 7 on defense.

Bottom Line

There is no way to expect this team to be anywhere near a contender yet. We have no upperclassmen talent especially on defense and the talent we do have is young.

This is the first recruiting class without Nevingate and look at the depth of talent AG is bringing in. It will take a few more cycles like this until the team is ready to be elite again. Bringing in top 5 classes where most of the players can redshirt is still a few years away and having a depth chart with any kind of depth of talent.

Waiting sucks but this class should bring optimism to what AG can do without Shapiro lingering. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Holy *****...is the moon blue? Is there a cow jumping over it while a pig flies by? Hath **** frozen over?

(First post I've ever seen from Bicho that made any sense)

Oh, and I agree with you.
 
I understand your point, but people are just dumbfounded as to why our defense is THIS bad......



I mean we can't stop ******* anyone. Nobody. Our defense shouldn't be allowed to wear the "U" on their helmets.







Our entire defensive philosophy needs to change ASAP

It's not about rushing. Everybody knows it takes time.

The problem is we have more than enough talent for gt,wake,unc, and vt.

This is 3rd year in this scheme and still can't stop anybody. Below average offenses look like the broncos everytime they play this D.

Offense play calling is questionable. You got a injured Qb, best player in duke hurt, the o-line every time they face a decent d-line they struggle except for a few plays vs fsu.
 
You guys are losing track of what has UM fans so disgusted. It's not that we expected to win a NC this year or even compete for one.

We did, however, expect the team NOT to get dragged around the field like Lawrence Phillips' girlfriend by a shtty Vag Tech offense.

We expected to improve instead of getting worse over the course of the season.

We expected to play a few full games this year instead of a bunch of ****** uneven efforts where we're up and down every game and in dog fights with bad teams.

We expected to not try to match last year's historically inept defense with another handful of 500+ yard gashings against us by mediocre ACC teams.

The problem is that we seem to be regressing during this season.

Morris seems to have gotten worse and the defense is falling in whatever rankings you're looking at with each game they play.

When you're building something, you're supposed to show improvement. Growth. It looks like we've been going in the opposite direction for weeks now.

Defensive performances are no doubt troubling.

When Chad and Moten and company we are bringing in are physically ready to play and the defense still looks like this then you know there is a problem. Who in the front seven that currently plays will even sniff the NFL? #52 and maybe Chickillo as a late round energy type player.

This should be McCords redshirt freshmen year where he gets spot duty and AQM should be redshirting.

Another thread that leads to the same place a hundred others already have gone before.

Hope the coaches fix this leaking defense this weekend to end the madness.

Point of this thread being the team is 7-2 and ranked. Under the circumstances that's pretty impressive.

This is what 7-2 looks like. if the defense was better the team would be 8-1 with a loss to FSU because they have elite talent and depth all over.

all the other teams with 2 losses and ranked around where miami is have warts too. Either terrible defense or offense or a mix of both.

Talent of defense sucks, there's a variety of reasons for that but its the current reality.

Spot on. Neither of these two had any business being forced into action as a true freshman.. The worst part is they were just as dominant as any of the upperclassmen.
 
im convinced that morris' injury was significantly more serious than first reported. his mechanics remain poor because of who he is and because he remains injured. AG wont admit this so as to not have his QB targeted but i believe this is hindering him.

agree with the OP regarding talent. there is a vast lack of talent. plus the qb, our best WR and our best RB/player on the team are injured. big losses especially with no depth at any of those positions.
