Did Diaz talk to Grace that you saw? Wondered what the temperature is between him and the staff.
Yeah, I think they took a selfie. Things seemed good. The coaches wanted him to stay but it was out of their control.
Grace has really bulked up.
He does, but Carter still looks bigger (and maybe this is why he'll change positions in the NFL).
[MENTION=825]Barboni[/MENTION] what were your thoughts on the game?
I went to the game with a few friends (one coaches at FIU).
Other than 3rd and long, Southridge played heavy cover 1/3 with a Davis as the single high safety. Deerfield's Oline isn't anything special. At times they protected with 5 lineman and 2 backs, and a 4-5 man rush would still get there. I have slightly different opinion on Jerry Jeudy. If I were to make a comparison, I'd say that he reminds me of Ocho Cinco, but not as fast. Tall, with quick feet and very fluid/smooth change of direction. He separated easily on underneath routes. Collier, got beat on 2-3 slants that went for around 10 yards. In the slot, he was abusing
#5 , but the qb couldn't get him the ball (Deerfields QB missed plenty of open WRs). I was impressed with footwork on the play where he shook Collier after the catch, but not with his burst after the hard cut. I don't see elite acceleration like Ridley, Coley, Cook, etc...Nor, do I see elite deep speed. When deerfield did have time to throw, he had trouble separating against Collier on deep routes. They didn't cheat Davis to his side. With DFBs max protection calls, I was surprised that they didn't attempt a 1v1 outside release vertical with Juedy (especially, when he was being pressed by Collier). This also showed on both of his KRs, especially the 2nd where he spent too much time going lateral and got tackled behind the 20. Maybe I was expecting too much or he might of been injured, but that comes with the hype . Hope he comes to Miami, but fans might end up disappointed if they're expecting a prospect that's a threat on every single route on the level of Coley or Ridley.
I think it's telling that on a team loaded with D1 DBs, they chose Davis to be their single high safety. He'd be a nice pick, as we need safeties with range.
Billy Gibson has a big frame for a hs safety. Hard to project what he could do as a safety with him being lined up as a ILB, but hopefully he has decent range.
SFL is going to be loaded in 2018 with quality DEs, and I'm hoping we take advantage. Stack chips!!!
