Miami defense ranking in the ACC

[Ned_Zawalski]

Pitt is 6 and 4 respectively with less talent minus Donald!! Horrible!!!!!!!!!!!

How did you determine that Pitt has less talent? Thanks.

Are you implying they somehow have more talent? If so, how do you determine that?

Huh? Where did you come up with that? I'm asking the guy how he calculated that we have more talent on defense than Pittsburgh.

 

[Ned_Zawalski]

How do you minus Donald?

Don't you love the logic? "If we remove one of the best defensive players in the country from their defense, we have more talent than Pittsburgh." Comical.

This is all on the coaches and the non-effective defensive scheme.

I had never heard that angle before. Thanks for the outside-the-box perspective.

Thanks for your totally unique perspective, I should of thought of it sooner.

Well let's compare U vs Pitt starters (all from Rivals since that is where I got their depth chart)

Chickillo-4
Porter-3
Pierre-3
Green-3
Perryman-3
Gaines-2
Armbrister-2
Howard-5
Gunter-3
Bush-4
Jenkins-3

35 total

Durham-3
Murphy-4
Donald-3
Ezell-3
Gonzalez-3
Thomas-4
Gordon-3
Pitts-3
Williams-3
Hendricks-2
Vinopal-2

Total 33


Obviously its not a perfect comparison because its difficult to quantify talent but I think recruiting rankings is about the best we can do. Obviously some guys busts, some boom but that should even out in the end.

Oh geez. He went to star ratings. "Chickillo-4" and "Donald-3" should have been enough for you to delete what you were writing.

Even if we have the SIMILAR amount of talent, which those star rankings suggest. Why are they ranked so much higher than us in the ACC defensive rankings?

 

[Ned_Zawalski]

....which those star rankings suggest.....

Seriously? Use star ratings to compare high school recruits. Don't use star ratings once they have been proven wrong. If you are still going to consider Donald to be 3-star talent, then let's just stop here.

Don't try to specify one part of the statement. All those teams ahead of us including Pitt do not have more defensive talent that us. Give Bud Foster our players and were in the top 3 in the ACC defensive rankings. Stop with the bllsht. Remember per coach D "yards don't matter.

Our players? Bud Foster would quit if he had our players. I can't believe that after ten years of this crap you people still think we have better players just because we're Da U and our players came from Miami-Dade.

Donald is undersized & wasn't a blue chip coming out of HS.. Please disregard the fact that he leads the nation in TFL.

 

[DeadPoets]

They tried softening the schedule to improve the defensive stats & they couldn't do it.
Fvck this staff for real. Complete garbage all the way around.

But it's ok because Golden speaks well lol

We went from the worst speaking HC to the best speaking HC yet the results are still the same.

Exactly, which is why star ratings are crap.

 

[UMFarArcher]

It's the offense! Can't convert third down! It's the players not executing. It's global warming!

Not the skeem, nor D'Onofrio. They're perfect.

 

[OzarCaneSaw]

If only the offense was better! Why do you think VaTechs D is so good?

 

[BigDikCane]

Bend over and let me tap that *** defense..

Most of the players on our defense don't even come from Miami Dade, smart guy. The same Bud Foster who REALLY wanted Jawand Blue, who cant even get on the field for us......

 

[Ned_Zawalski]

So no response of any substance?
