With Cam Ward all things are possible
Just how hard of a adjustment will it be for Francis to slide over to LG , physically I see no problem but playbook and learning schemes may take time.Francis at LG, Bell at RT, problem fixed.
A good QB can cover a lot of bad coaching defencies. LSU with Joe Burrow and Oregon with Justin Herbert are examples.With Cam Ward all things are possible
a Dawson is much more proven than marcus arroyoA good QB can cover a lot of bad coaching defencies. LSU with Joe Burrow and Oregon with Justin Herbert are examples.
Mario won 10+ games at Oregon with worse QB play. I expect the same with Cam
Honestly, I think the only regular season game that they have a decent chance to lose is Florida. And that’s only because it’s Game 1 with a new quarterback and other new pieces playing together for the first time. Schedule that for Game 3 or later and we win.

Gotta be a real collection of loser coaches to not have a good football team when you have a top 10 QB, a top 7 back, a top 7 WR corps, an NFL TE and multiple NFL linemen.
No excuses.
Team better drop 30+ on everyone they play.
Got to score a TD on every possession or it’s a failure
We got a better squad than 2019 LSU
Of the 11 projected offensive starters, 9 of them made an All Conference team in 2023!!! The only players who did not, Arroyo & Okunlola, were both injured in 2023.
QB Cam Ward RSR 6-2 223 (2023 All-Pac 12 Honorable Mention Team)
HB Damien Martinez JR 6-0 237 (2023 All-Pac 12 First Team)
WR Sam Brown RSR 6-2 195 (2023 All-Big 12 Honorable Mention Team)
WR Jacolby George SR 6-0 176 (2023 All-ACC Honorable Mention)
SL Xavier Restrepo RSR 5-10 200 (2023 All-ACC First Team)
TE Elijah Arroyo RJR 6-4 245 (Injured in 2023)
LT Jalen Rivers RSR 6-5 325 (2023 All-ACC Second Team)
LG Samson Okunlola RFR 6-6 310 (Injured in 2023)
C Zach Carpenter RSR 6-5 295 (2023 All-Big Ten Honorable Mention)
RG Anez Cooper JR 6-6 325 (2023 All-ACC Honorable Mention)
RT Francis Mauigoa SO 6-6 325 (2023 All-ACC Second Team)
This offense better score at least 35 points per game NO EXCUSES.
Don't forget they unlocked burrow by the HC being commited to being wide open.. don't forget prior Lsu was bro style purgatory like us.. in every off-season interview they said they would be wide open offense, joe Brady would run a wide open attack even 5 wide.. most rolled their eyes until texas game..A good QB can cover a lot of bad coaching defencies. LSU with Joe Burrow and Oregon with Justin Herbert are examples.

Even looking at the and team, there is crazy talent all over this offensive roster.Man that is crazy. I guess I knew that, just hadn’t put it together how loaded the team is with nationally recognized returning talent. And some of those guys are going to take BIG steps forward this season.
The issue isn’t the formation but the calls. Young goes deep, X has the flats wide open or Young is open. Instead, we run into a 9 man box with 5 OL, 2 TE, and X.View attachment 288116
I better not be seeing this formation anymore
So does my fanduel account!I was just stating this recently in this post (I think yesterday), this actually deserves its own thread on main board:
Tyler Baron DE, J George WR, Xavier WR, and NIL walk into a bar…
The argument against X is silly. All he does is catch passes, get open and produce night in and out. We are very fortunate to have him this season. My gripe with George is not his talent, I think we can all acknowledge that he’s a very talented WR that has the ability to go for 100+ any given...www.canesinsight.com
I see guys give Dawson/Mario some super lazy goals in regards to offense. 30 points per game BS.. This is a offense that will feature some of the top players in nation in every unit ( I expect Cam in new york) .. It has everything you can ask for AND explosive young depth. A tired defense tryna hold face, facing the second team with Chris Johnson jr., ray ray, robby, jojo trader, ny carr, even kirk, all tryna make a name should drive totals closer to 40 a game.. (unless the defense is just trash and cant secure leads which is possible)
Looking at list, I think some of our guys are underrated also..
That LSU team was not poorly coached. Both coordinators got bigger that year.A good QB can cover a lot of bad coaching defencies. LSU with Joe Burrow and Oregon with Justin Herbert are examples.

No excusesAlright guys, let’s reel it the **** in

You won't. I heard Mario self analyzed and was upset that Colbie Young was so far out wide. Mario wants him closer to the LOS to add some physicality.View attachment 288116

There is a non-zero amount of Canes fans that believe that now unironicallyGot to score a TD on every possession or it’s a failure
