Next Season Miami will have the best secondary in the nation

Figs, Kirby, Perryman (hopefully), and Grace will be a much more athletic and dynamic set of LB's next year where hopefully we can start to cover the middle of the field.

Perryman was absolutely terrible in coverage last night.

they may be but any offense will pick them apart if our front 7 continues to be a cess pool

What does it have to do with our front 7?

On many of FSU's passing plays the ball came out of Winston's hands ASAP.

Our issue isn't that QB's are having a picnic in the pocket and finding WR's open after an hour, the issue is that QB's are completing passes right in front of our defenders cause we're lost in coverage.
 
I like our corner play but am not impressed at al all with any of our safety play right now. I think we need to bring in two safeties in this recruiting cycle.
Our safeties are slow to diagnose plays and play soft. Whens the last time you saw a cane safety make a receiver pay for coming over the middle of the field...
 
Yeah ill believe it when I see it. We heard that **** last year. If they have so much talent and potential why do we hear thatwe have to play that bend but don't break defense. As long as D no is the DC giving up 500 yards will be acceptable I guess

Yeah usually a kid with great ball skills ends up on offense. Seems to be a trend with many DBs.

With the jump we have already seen from year 1 to year 2, without a healthy Deon, I think we should expect big things from this group next year no doubt.
 
I know I'm in the minority here, but the prospect of Artie getting some burn at safety really intrigues me. The guy is more aggressive than I thought. We desperately need a rangy, fast safety.

I was in the same boat with Deon. I really didn't want to see him moved to safety because I thought he could be an elite corner but I admit it was a good move. Artie is bigger than I thought he was, and actually looks like he has a safety build. It's tough until you actually see them out there, but I could see it.
 
i spoke at length with a bush family member before the game who said that bush is still in a lot of pain from the injuries and that he needed to work through it. i think this is what golden was saying after the game that Bush needed to step up.

I really believe they WILL move LG back there permanently this off season, dude is physical fast and he is big. Not a pure cover guy but has the talent to lock up the #2/3 on any given team.

True, and don't get me wrong, I am very optimistic about this group. I'm just saying that at times they look like the keystone cops when a ball is in the air (i.e., running into each other; not sure whether to play the man or the ball; not finding the ball in the air, etc). Some of that is youth, and some of that is just Highsmith who fortunately will be gone next year. I just hope our coaches can help these guys reach their potential.

You know what is going to make that backfield look even better next season......AQM playing every **** down.

We need this dude playing every down now. That would make that cactus on roller skates playing safety look good.

Artie saved our *** in the NC game on that qb draw late in the 4th. He was going to get the first and Artie came out of nowhere and blasted his *** Deon Bush style from last year!! they got 2 penalties in a row and we got the stop..the rest is history.

Usually the best secondary in the nation has a good DL. I doubt much changes next year in that department for us.
 
Probably the best depth but none of our DB's with the exception of Tracy are play-makers/can cover consistently; see UF's secondary with Purifoy, Roberson, and VH3.

They are all legit. Playing them in a soft bend don't break D is not helping us to get the full of their potential

This is how I feel. Might as well put them man to man, but then again it's kinda hard when you don't get to the QB.
