Hey why has everyone ignored Mike James?

[CaneAlmighty]

Mike James quietly is having a solid year.
I wish Fisch would make the offense more run oriented. We have the line and the backs to be dominant. Plus the arm at QB to make teams pay if they sell out on the run.

 

[Staybon]

i think most fans think of the turf toe having Mike James when they think of him. He's a back than can be a solid starter - what's wrong with a guy who can get you 5 a carry and keep the chains moving and help open up the play action game? He's not a guy who's a threat every play to break a big one, but we have a guy who is in Duke. So work them together. They are the best two options on offense right now. They both need to get the ball at least 15 times each. Now if only we'd run the ball enough to actually use play action. And if only we'd play toward what we have right now - guys who fit a pro style offense better than spread.

b/c he doesn't really keep the chains moving. If Mike James touches the ball 15 times a game UM is screwed.

I think your mind is playing tricks on you just so can continue to post how much you miss Miller.

LULZ. You going to tell us again how we don't miss Lamar Miller or Tommy Streeter? and how Mike James + Duke is better than Miller + Duke?

Mike James averaged 3.9 YPC against BC and 3.0 YPC against KSU. That's not really a chain mover; that's JAG. What games are you watching where averaging less than 4.0 YPC keeps the chains moving?

Are you going to come back and tell me how MJ averaged x against B-CC so he's therefore a chain-mover?

3.9 keeps the chains moving. 3.0 and a cloud of dust keeps the chains moving. Let the man run from running formations while the OL has their hand on the ground instead of in pass blocking stances running from the shotgun and his per carry most likely goes up. Running so much from the shotgun without the threat of a read option or a big time passing attack makes no sense.

 

[Staybon]

and i'm not a "we don't miss Miller or Streeter" or anyone else guy. but they aren't on the team. can only play with what you have. so call plays and formations that suits their strengths instead of the strengths the coach wishes they had. same goes for the defense. we are undersized but pretty quick/fast. makes no sense playing off so much when they are fast and having guys try to take on blocks head up when they are small.

Did you know that Lamar Miller led the ACC in carries of 2 yards or less? I bet you didn't. Fact is that Miller was not a chain mover. His YPC got boosted by his 1 to 2 big runs a game. Miller was your typical hit or miss type of RB. Not a chain mover.
Mike James is more of a chain mover. Sure he won't break off big runs but he can consistently get you 3-4 yards a pop with your occasional 10+ run.

who the **** said Lamar Miller was a 'chain mover?' That has always been used to describe the RB's who pound out the tough yards. Miller doesn't do that. Keep your scatter-brained nonsense to yourself and don't let it infect this board. Miller was also fourth in the ACC in carries -- and second among those top 4 in carries in YPC. All of your arguments are bull****. Miller is one of six RB's to go over 1,000 yards here, is playing on Sundays, and carried the team at times last year. You bashing him, and propping up Mike James, a guy who is on his way to averaging below 4 YPC in college for the second year in a row means you are truly biased and have no sense of what is going on in the real world.

Mike James is not a 'chain mover.' He averaged 3.0 and 3.9 YPC against the only real teams we've played so far this year. That's not moving the chains, that's being a below average RB. You're wrong, as usual, and can't even keep your dumb *** arguments straight. Mike James averaged 3.8 YPC last year, too. Averaging below 4 YPC in college is pretty bad. Mike James will probably end up doing it for two years straight. Worst starting RB at Miami I can remember. I love the kid, he's super nice, always smiling on campus, even when I saw him a few days after his mom died, and by all accounts a hard worker and great guy. He isn't a good RB and doesn't 'move the chains' or 'pound out' the tough yards whatsoever. Never has. He's a below average RB. Guys like Lamar Miller play in the NFL, make the big bucks, make big runs, and average over a 1.5 more yards per carry than James while getting a ****load more carries.

You're absolutely factually wrong. It's bizarre that you keep arguing this. A guy who averages less than 4 YPC is not a 'chain mover,' bottom line.


And you claiming that Lamar Miller is not missed this year, and wouldn't be an upgrade over Mike James is up there with the dumbest comments ever made on this young board.

A punter got drafted before Miller.

Fact of the matter is the running game is not suffering or is a problem. It were, I would understand your non regressing boner you have for Miller. May suggest putting ice on it.

Not really. Once Mike James started becoming somebody who would receive real playing time, his YPC become more realistic. It's just a good example of why James should be the 3rd RB here, though.

Where do you think Mike James gets drafted? Do you think he ever gets 10 carries in an NFL game? The running game does suffer because UM currently has the worst starting RB it has had in the modern era. Duke + Miller would be ridiculous; Duke + James is dangerous because James doesn't add anything to the mix besides being an effective fullback.

It has nothing to do with a 'boner.' It has to do with the fact that you're a dumbass so I'm going to educate you on Hurricane football; I don't want this board to be Canesported in Bolivian.

Yeah. Take his B-CC out and he's averaging less than 4 YPC -- around ~3.5.

Of course neither will. Neither will get the same amount of carries as Miller did last year. What a stupid, misleading statistic.

Give up. You're blatantly wrong -- Mike James sucks. LULZ @ my "desire" to have Miller back. I'm simply disagreeing with your statement that UM doesn't miss Miller b/c we have Mike James, you scatter-brained moron. you can't contest that, you so you bring up some absurd statistic to try to justify how our running game is fine, and throw out a logical fallacy, even though one of our RB's -- who has gotten more carries than our best RB -- is averaging less than 4 YPC against FBS competition. Just like he did last year.

Why don't you explain to everyone how we didn't miss Andre Johnson against BC because there's a 'cap on yards,' and UM can only get so many offensive yards in one game.

I'm sick of 'bashing' Mike James. I see him around a lot and he's a super nice guy, always smiling, even right after hs mom died, and by all accounts one of the hardest working and nicest people on the team. I really hope that whatever he does he is awesome at it, and I hope he blows up and ends up a first round pick. Unfortunately he's not a very good RB at this point, and is below average. He doesn't really move the chains, and is best used as a utility guy, like Quad Hill. **** maybe he has a future in the NFL doing that, but it probably isn't at RB. To claim that we don't miss Miller and that Mike James makes up for him because Miller had the most 2 yard runs or less in the ACC shows that you really are a DBC-like ******.

All of your arguments are bull****. Miller is one of six RB's to go over 1,000 yards here, is playing on Sundays, and carried the team at times last year. You bashing him, and propping up Mike James, a guy who is on his way to averaging below 4 YPC in college for the second year in a row means you are truly biased and have no sense of what is going on in the real world.

Mike James is not a 'chain mover.' He averaged 3.0 and 3.9 YPC against the only real teams we've played so far this year. That's not moving the chains, that's being a below average RB. You're wrong, as usual, and can't even keep your dumb *** arguments straight. Mike James averaged 3.8 YPC last year, too. Averaging below 4 YPC in college is pretty bad. Mike James will probably end up doing it for two years straight. Worst starting RB at Miami I can remember. I love the kid, he's super nice, always smiling on campus, even when I saw him a few days after his mom died, and by all accounts a hard worker and great guy. He isn't a good RB and doesn't 'move the chains' or 'pound out' the tough yards whatsoever. Never has. He's a below average RB. Guys like Lamar Miller play in the NFL, make the big bucks, make big runs, and average over a 1.5 more yards per carry than James while getting a ****load more carries.

You're absolutely factually wrong. It's bizarre that you keep arguing this. A guy who averages less than 4 YPC is not a 'chain mover,' bottom line.


And you claiming that Lamar Miller is not missed this year, and wouldn't be an upgrade over Mike James is up there with the dumbest comments ever made on this young board.

A punter got drafted before Miller.
And you conveniently left out Mike James averaging over 5 yards a carry his sophomore year. Little disingenuous are we?

Fact of the matter is the running game is not suffering or is a problem. It were, I would understand your non regressing boner you have for Miller. May suggest putting ice on it.

Not really. Once Mike James started becoming somebody who would receive real playing time, his YPC become more realistic. It's just a good example of why James should be the 3rd RB here, though.

Where do you think Mike James gets drafted? Do you think he ever gets 10 carries in an NFL game? The running game does suffer because UM currently has the worst starting RB it has had in the modern era. Duke + Miller would be ridiculous; Duke + James is dangerous because James doesn't add anything to the mix besides being an effective fullback.

It has nothing to do with a 'boner.' It has to do with the fact that you're a dumbass so I'm going to educate you on Hurricane football; I don't want this board to be Canesported in Bolivian.

You bash one of the 6 guys to ever go over 1,000 yards rushing at UM, and prop up a guy who averages less than 4 YPC.

You love looking stupid, don't you?

Mike James is averaging 5 yards a carry.
You continue to lie in order to support your nonsensical desire to wanting to have Miller back. This aint fantasy football dog. He's gone.
Mike James and DUke Johnson and O.T. are here and neither will lead the ACC in carries of 2 yards or less like Miller did. Bank on it.

Yeah. Take his B-CC out and he's averaging less than 4 YPC -- around ~3.5.

Of course neither will. Neither will get the same amount of carries as Miller did last year. What a stupid, misleading statistic.

Give up. You're blatantly wrong -- Mike James sucks. LULZ @ my "desire" to have Miller back. I'm simply disagreeing with your statement that UM doesn't miss Miller b/c we have Mike James, you scatter-brained moron. you can't contest that, you so you bring up some absurd statistic to try to justify how our running game is fine, and throw out a logical fallacy, even though one of our RB's -- who has gotten more carries than our best RB -- is averaging less than 4 YPC against FBS competition. Just like he did last year.

Why don't you explain to everyone how we didn't miss Andre Johnson against BC because there's a 'cap on yards,' and UM can only get so many offensive yards in one game.

I'm sick of 'bashing' Mike James. I see him around a lot and he's a super nice guy, always smiling, even right after hs mom died, and by all accounts one of the hardest working and nicest people on the team. I really hope that whatever he does he is awesome at it, and I hope he blows up and ends up a first round pick. Unfortunately he's not a very good RB at this point, and is below average. He doesn't really move the chains, and is best used as a utility guy, like Quad Hill. **** maybe he has a future in the NFL doing that, but it probably isn't at RB. To claim that we don't miss Miller and that Mike James makes up for him because Miller had the most 2 yard runs or less in the ACC shows that you really are a DBC-like ******.

Now you resort to cherry picking. LOL.. Take out Millers games vs scrubs while you're at it.
And how is leading the acc in carries of 2 yards or less MISLEADING? It's actually very telling of the type of back he was. Ask any OC and they will tell you they would prefer a player that constantly got 3 plus yards over a hit or miss type back that was good for 1-2 long runs per game.

Lastly, please refrain from putting Miller in the same category of Andre Johnson, McGahee and Portis. Thanks

Cherry picking?

Um, James averaged 3.9 YPC last year. The entire year. This year, against FBS schools, he is averaging 3.5 YPC. UM plays FBS schools the rest of the year, so it seems likely that his YPC will remain around that. That's not cherry picking; UM only plays 1 FCS school and stats can be grossly inflated, so it's not really worth discussing unless you're a DBC - like ******. "Cherry picking" would be using an FCS game in a small sample size to inflate the statistics of a player, you dolt.

Oh, the scrub teams? Okay, lol. He had his best games against OSU and Virginia Tech.

And you're a dumbass. I'm using YOUR logic. If there was a 'cap' on yards, then why would Willis McGahee help us against BC? A team can only get so many yards, right?

You are all kinds of stupid.

LMAO @ your over-exaggerating bull****. In the games before Miller got injured, why don't you go look up how many "2 yards or less" carries mike james had compared to Miller. It's actually pretty funny -- the percentage of James carries that go for 2 yards or less is much higher than Miller's. It's not close.

And LULZ @ a player "constantly" getting 3 yards. Ask any OC, except the Miami Hurricanes OC, apparently. Hey, CaneAlmight, where do you think Mike James gets drafted?

 

[Joecane]

Because he's not that good. Thread over.

 

[weownfsu]

Because he's not that good. Thread over.

Any offensive coordinator would rather have him over Lamar Miller.

 

[bathtubgin]

smdh at people calling a guy who goes down at first contact pretty much every time he touches the ball a power back. When have you ever seen him move a pile? How often does he break a tackle? He has at least twenty lbs on Duke but Duke does those things 100x better.

He seems like a great kid, very hard worker, and someone you really want to see succeed. That said, he's an ok back at best.
