Miami Hurricanes' star safety, Kam Kinchens spoke to media today as the team readies for their game against the formidable Clemson Tigers.

When asked about facing the Tigers, Kinchens acknowledged, "Clemson's got a pretty good offense, a really good defense. In terms of stopping their quarterback, they have two really good running backs and a couple of really good receivers."

"Defense has got to stand up, you know. We just got to make plays that come to us and continue to make routine plays."

Kinchens recognized that defensive backs have been in position to make plays, but have not fully taken advantage, stating, "It's kind of hard to work on in practice because, you know, every game is pretty different. You don't want to take the aggression away from the player." He emphasizes the importance of players being conscious of the situation and making calculated decisions.

The Hurricanes have faced adversity in recent games, but Kinchens draws wisdom from experience, saying, "Just take the good with the bad. Take it from the game and see what you did well and see what you did poorly and kind of move on and just add it to your game and what to take out."

When discussing Clemson's quarterback, Cade Klubnik, Kinchens recognizes his dangerous attributes, highlighting, "He's elusive with his legs, can scramble and extend plays very well, and he has pretty good accuracy."

Injury concerns have plagued the Hurricanes, but Elijah Arroyo's return to the lineup brings optimism. Kinchens notes, "He just brings more juice to that tight end room. Just to have that guy back at tight end is going to be real good."

The importance of causing turnovers is not lost on Kinchens, who acknowledges it as a key aspect of their defense. "That's the main key to our defense. We just got to make those plays to get our team off the field."

In a lighthearted moment, Kinchens reflected on his sack last weekend and reveals, "James (Williams) was kind of arguing with me, asking if he could Blitz instead. We love those play calls, especially ones designed for you to make the play."

You can tell they are hyper aggressive asking if he could blitz lmao love that passion. Talking about routine means he knows he’s ******* up and trying to do to much

Huh???

Trying to make a pick is more important than not giving up big plays or TDs…. He’s definitely shown that the last 2 games and
 
Yea that’s a little bit of a scary couple of answers at the end there

Talking about needing to get more turnovers and joking around with JW about who gets to get the sack

Yikes, how about not getting beat deep because he’s getting too pick happy and being ready and prepared on Defense for what the offense could come at them with vs. debating who gets to blitz and try to make a highlight reel play

KK and JW are freelancing too much in this defense. All of UNC explosive plays in the pass game were a result of one or both safeties not being where they were supposed to be. At this point, UM has a pair of undisciplined, safeties with bad eyes. Every team you play from here on out is going at UM deep.

Someone should tell him to stop worrying about what’s happening in front of him and worry about what he is assigned to do.

I have a hard time believing KK hasn't been told that, especially after getting burned by GT the week prior on the final play. If kids refuse to do as instructed they can go stand beside Guidry and Addae on the sideline.

I wouldn’t lump JW in with that (at least to this point).

He’s having one his best most sound seasons yet.

Has he really ? He was blowing assignments last year at a pretty good rip too. He just had some picks to put cologne on it.

Agreed. Take away his 3 INT game, and what has he done? That game made his stats for the season look better than he was and essentially won him All-American status - clearly the voters didn't watch him play and only paid attention to the stat sheet.

Kam is a nice kid, and a decent player, but he isn't some sure-fire 1st rounder or even a guarenteed draft pick (same goes for JW - probably a late round pick due to size).
 
I believe Kam is a very intelligent kid. Very good tackler. Great Athlete.

I really hoped that the coaching would help him here (Addae). Others here would know better than me if Addae is a good coach or not and I believe that Kam is the type of kid that is very coachable.

I find it hard to believe that his freestyle of playing wouldn’t be put in check by the coaches.
