PODCAST: Regular Season Wrap-up ft. ESPN's Steve "K9" Kim, D$ and Austin Pfenninger

[Brains]

In terms of regular rotation players we return Bandy at corner, along with Carter and Hall. I think Derrick Smith slides back to safety to crack the 2-deep. Ivey, Blades and Frierson are going to have to take the next step.

Yes. I also corrected my original post to specify that it is an indicator for defensive success year over year. It obviously says nothing about the offensive side of the ball, which is the currently the worst unit in FBS football.

Mark this down and bump it when I’m right: Our defense will take a big dive next year. Diaz puts a ton on his Safeties, and we’re losing 2 veteran starters who played the majority of the game. Willis will also be a huge loss because he ate up blockers and disrupted offenses up the middle.

Not disagreeing with you, but can you quantify "big dive?"

I do not think we'll be #2 in total defense again. However, will we be top 10? 20? 50? I honestly have no idea. The points you brought up are solid and will lead to some frustrating busts on defense next year while Hall/Carter figure it out.

I think top 20 should be feasible, may lack some experience on the backend but will still be very talented. With the style of our defense whoever we have on the dline will be productive

We need Lynn university to start a football and hire Thomas brown and Jon richt

I have more of an issue with the execution than the playcalling obviously im in the minority. The OL wasn't that good and our receivers dropped too many ball and thats when they would get an accurate pass. Players just have to get better before i start getting on the playcalling

Play calling and system is horribe. The offense wasn't great when kaaya was either.

 

[hoover437]

Malpractice that’s so true. Don’t blame Jeff Thomas for leaving

All the more to have our young very talented offense humming next year

 

[ssvir]

Did Austin call out the Team Docs again, and how they're ending kids' careers?

Or did that get nuked too?

What's the story behind this?

 

[hoover437]

The other thing because richt messed up we were really about to play the young defensive studs. We had to fight every game like we were navy

 

[Home Slice]

The two things are not mutually exclusive, do the players have execution issues yes, but this Is STILL the worst offensive performance and playcalling I’ve ever seen since I’ve been old enough to watch Miami football (2000 was my first season when I was 6) and actually know what’s going on and it’s not even close....

Agree Brock & I have been watching since Charlie Tate was introduced as our HC.

If this is the case then the Diaz firing calls will be out in full force as they are with Richt at this time next year?

Is it possible that Nesta, Hall, Carter, and Frierson? could surprise you?

As of this year didn't suck enough. For my digestive sake I hope your prediction doesn't come through.

I think the defense is well developed and coached. I know their is scheme issues but the D has been above average. I'm looking for that being the trend for next year.

Is there any meaning behind the Zevon avatar? Doesn't seem like Kenneth has a similar personality.

 

[gatorsSUCK!]

How bout two years and one or two missed FG against us. Many career bests against us. Blocks against a dog poo team...Big whoop. ST is not college worthy. The fact we keep sticking these pathetic punters in is beyond reproach. JJ would have pulled schollies and had Baxa or Someone else pint.

Warren Zevon is my all time favorite musician.

Plus we’re now gonna scramble for recruiting scraps. Pathetic class. Worse than Golden. So depth will be worse. Spiraling outta control. All because “Malik is a warrior and been through a lot of wars, and gives us best chance to win”. Barring a miracle, stick a fork in the program, it’s done under MR.
