Miami vs Duke: Manny Diaz speaks on the game Saturday

[Calinative]

88th against the run
13th against the pass
14th in sacks
2nd in TFLs

A Hallmark Diaz Defense

Since Diaz helped Carter & Williams get drafted using us as muses, it’s only right he helps Martinez & Fletcher get drafted this Saturday. Run the ball down their fcking throat (PRESS PLAY)

Yeah I'd expect similar gameplan to FSU.
I just hope it's not 95% of inside the guard runs again. Can we get anything outside lol. But if it works it works so whatever.

62-26 loss to Carolina back in 2020-

They ran for 529 rushing yards-

I’ll never forgive Manny for that beat down-

**** Manny Diaz mang!

Manny's defensive lines always struggled to learn how to squeeze down vs getting up field. let those tackles get up field chasing TFLs and kick them out. sprinkle in a few trap plays. I trust this offensive staff to exploit them.

That UNC game in 2020 was just a reminder that Couch, Ivey and Carter were some of the worst dbs to ever play here….until this year. Bolden ******* sucked too. Wonder if he still dyes his hair.

 

[Silentobserver]

I'm surprised he never tried to block a punt by blitzing the punt returner.

I had a thought this morning. Hasn't Manny given up rushing yards in a couple games that were historically bad? Like 600 yards, or something ridiculous? I blocked it out, but I'd laugh my butt off if we rushed for 600 on them this weekend.

You know how ****ed off everyone here will be though when we do that but Cam only throws for 150 yards?

Just watched those highlights and Carter, Bolden, Ivey and Couch were playing like it was their first game like ever. It was absolutely embarrassing. I’d say it was up there with the Middle Tennessee, Clemson in 2015, and the orange bowl final game in terms of embarrassing home losses.

Watching bolden go from a day 2 or 3 draft pick his first year to completely undrafted is wild lol

He was pretty good up to the Clemson game then went to **** after that.

I had that thought as well. Ward throws for 112 yards, completing 8 of 8 passes, we rush for 600, score on all 10 drives, convert 100% of our 3rd downs, get 53 first downs, have 52 minutes time of possession, win by 60, and people go into full meltdown mode. I can see it.

We’re lucky it was a shortened Covid season. Deriq King had a great season including a 52-10 win over FSU and we finished 8-3. If GT game isn’t canceled, 9-3. Looking at the original schedule, we had no Clemson and two more cupcakes. That was easily a 10-11 win season, especially because King was on fire. If Diaz had finished with a 10+ win season, he’d almost certainly have received a huge raise and extension. We’d basically be FSU right now.

600 yards combined would be good with me 300 + 300 works

It will be the typical Manny blitz fest this Saturday.

Agreed, and I expect Arroyo and X to have big games as they will operate in open zones voided by LBs and safeties who are blitzing from depth.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Dawson scheme to get Martinez leaking out of the backfield when Manny overloads one side of the line with the blitz.

Only concern is if Cam holds on to the ball looking for the homerun..

I don’t care how many yards Cam passes for. Just win and play a solid game.

FUN FACT:

Manny Diaz (except Pedo St) has been DC/HC of team whereby they have given up their worst defensive performance to an opponent in modern school history.

 

[Empirical Cane]

FUN FACT:

No other DC/OC/HC active coach in CF today has been on receiving end of catastrophic plays as Manny Diaz.

I say this with all sincerity, unless some massive event strikes the Miami roster, fold the program if our Canes do not beat Duke on Saturday.

There is no scenario whereby Duke gets the win athlete v. athlete.
