[]__[] should explore Patrick Payton as a replacement for Tyler Baron.
For all his faults, at least Baron tried on his stunts and chasing RBs. I have seen enough tape of PP half assing it when all he had to do was rush the QB.
He’s coming off injury and will probably miss spring practiceI want him in bubble wrap all offseason.
Awesome cover skills when healthy. Kudos to Mario and the portal team for being more agre$$ive in the secondary this time around.
One more corner imo, and one more safety…and we’re looking much better in the back end.
Let’s close on Blay too.
Which imo is fine because it forces us to see what we have without him, what development/progress has been made (if any), and if we have to dip back in the spring portal.He’s coming off injury and will probably miss spring practice
Natty back on
I’m definitely good with taking him. Just need to keep stacking a lot more guys and vets for that matter, Injuries happen during the seasonWhich imo is fine because it forces us to see what we have without him, what development/progress has been made (if any), and if we have to dip back in the spring portal.
Brantley is a dog when healthy, just need to get him there. No reason to rush him back.
I just can't understand how Miami with all their rich tradition in having great secondary players simply has trouble recruiting/developing good or decent players at CB or safety in last 3-4 years. Our coaching on D side of ball has been simply awful. Not asking for Sean taylor or Ed Reed or antrel rolle, but we should be pretty good in the secondary given our location, etc. Our DB coaches leave a lot to be desired. I can't wait until we get a new D staff after the playoffs.Which imo is fine because it forces us to see what we have without him, what development/progress has been made (if any), and if we have to dip back in the spring portal.

Well we don’t have thatno doubt scouts see that as well; he has all the talent in the world and some good coaching could bring it out.

What duds the tweet say? We get a crystal Val did him or something?
lol my autocorrect on my phone just ignored every word
@1murhurricane already made a solid point, another one is that our history is just that history. Those coaches aren’t here anymore and how we recruit, eval and execute on Saturdays is in the hands of different people. Sure the location has tons of talent but if we can’t prioritize it or evaluate it properly that U on the helmet doesn’t mean ****. Thinking it does is what got us into this problem back in the mid 2000s. Coaching matters.I just can't understand how Miami with all their rich tradition in having great secondary players simply has trouble recruiting/developing good or decent players at CB or safety in last 3-4 years.

3-4 years? Try 10-15 years.

As first reported yesterday on CanesInSight, there is strong mutual interest between CB Charles Brantley (Michigan State) and Miami. The veteran cornerback confirmed he is visiting Miami on Friday:
The 6', 179-pound Brantley had 27 tackles, 2 TFLs and 3 INTs in 2024. According to PFF, he allowed 14 receptions for 149 yards on 37 targets without allowing a touchdown. He also graded out at a strong 77 percent.
Brantley is a graduate of Venice High School on Florida's West Coast, where he also ran the 100M and competed in the high jump, long jump and triple jump.
For his career, Brantley has 103 tackles, 5 TFLs, 5 INTs and two pick sixes. He has one year of eligibility remaining.
