Is our D-Line really that bad?

[Consigliere]

No, I don't, because he just doesn't have the talent to start for what Miami should be. I bolded the offers I might believe. The others offered very early on expecting him to grow and develop and it didn't happen.

Should be, I like that. Where Miami "should be." We aren't there. Miami "should be" starting elder statesmen and not freshman, I know that.

As for the offers, your speculation is as good as mine. I am sure at least half of them are legit and either FSU and/or UF offered him.
In general, I don't trust rivals/scout offers but too me it is a good indicator of where to begin.

We will see, I will say we should be redshirting Moore.

Like I said, they offered him in 2010. But he didn't develop and by the time he was a senior they wouldn't take his commitment. Not a chance.

Redshirt or not, he doesn't have the physical skills to start for a good defense.

Speculation and unproven both in the offer and in pulling said offer.

I understand your feelings on him, I just don't know. Hard to judge a true freshman DT who is undersized.

Coming into the season, Anthony Chickillo was the ONLY defensive end on the roster who'd taken a collegiate snap at the position.

A true sophomore is our most experienced defensive end.


Go 'head and marinate on that for a minute.

I understand that people have problems with this defensive staff (I do myself).

Let's say there is a DL coach out there in America. We will call him Jon Pulermo and Jon is the best DL coach in the World. Given the above, how much higher would your expectations be for the unit? Mine would still remain pretty low.

Now back to our staff:

Next year, if the following happens, things could change SIGNIFICANTLY

1. Curtis get's healthy and comes back to start from day one
