How does Malcolm Bunche help us catch Florida State?

He doesn't.. but he provides experiece, size & depth to our weakest position of need. I don't think anyway is touting him as the next Larry Allen but we are one play away (Flowers going out) from being extremely screwed.

We only gave up 17 sacks last year, tied for 23rd fewest in Div 1. I think our pass pro was pretty good considering how much we threw the ball and how often Morris chucked it downfield. Morris wasn't exactly quick with his decision making either. Morris had more time than he often thought....especially if you go back and watch the FSU game. Missed a lot of guys open because he felt pressure that wasn't really their yet.

Our run blocking is a different story. Very disappointing considering the size of the line, especially in short yardage situations. Some of that is on talent when Duke went down, but a lot of that is on Kehoe IMO.

Morris didn't go through his progressions and would lock onto a target at the snap, so I'd say he was quick with his decisions since he was only making one. When he would occasionally scan the field, that's when things got even scarier with him. He also got happy feet a lot when he didn't need to and while no runner, he could buy himself extra time.

Decent at pass protection last year, I suppose. The other team has a pulse on defense, the OL was crap. I said it when he was here last time, said it when he was hired by Al, and I'm saying it now....Kehoe is a liability rather than a strength. Love his passion, but that's where it ends for me.

*Play calling and Kehoe are a problem...

* I was sitting screaming at the tv as Dominique Easleyy did what he wanted, as our blocking scheme had the center(Mcdermott) having to try a turn back block on him...and dude was screaming up field...Mcdermott has no chance with him regularly..a longshot in that particular blocking scheme...and dude disrupted half of our running plays just off of that alone.

*Our pass pro wasnt bad last yr....i expect it not to be that good this yr...Seantrel was greta in pas pro, as was Linder....what i saw from Gadbois and Mcdermott (freshman) left me a little uneasy....they had real problems with speed rushers in one on one drills...and thats OUR speed rushers. Mcdermott got a pass from me as he's a youngin. Now Gadbois when the team portion ame along looked abit better....but ol Bunche would have been penciled in on that right side.

Because Easley was as good a 3-technique tackle as I've seen in a long, long time. Easley is lightning off the ball and Florida's defense fell apart when he blew out his knee.

Fisch and now Coley run offenses that require zone blocking. Miami is running stretch and trap in short yardage situations. That's not on Art. Miami doesn't have a true big back so we'll see if Edwards improves. But at 205 pounds Johnson is big enough to be a short yardage guy. When Scarlett rolls in, Miami is getting a kid with a college upperclassman's body.

That being said, I don't think we base blocking enough with our inside run game.

Also, Miami needs a quarterback who has the authority to audible out of a play when the box is loaded up and we're running into the teeth of the defense.

There's a disconnect, we want our lineman to be agile like a Gibbs-style oline (zone) yet we have guys with mauler bodies. Come to think of it, that's the case with our LBs as well.

Blame Kehoe all you want but it's Al that wants to be everything to everyone without the necessary vision field a compatible system to the richest recruiting ground in the country.

So they don't run spread in Dade and Broward County? You can base blocking but you have run zone for the offense to be successful.

The problem with Bunch was that he was on the bubble. He was a guy that had the size, experience, and was JUST good enough that he COULD start, but was never quite good enough to really hold down a spot. The guy was an average OL, really not ideal playing T, and was almost certainly going to be the 6th man on a 5 man OL. He would have had a ton of playing time, and obviously was one injury away from being a full time starter, but he obviously felt that it would hurt his chance to advance to the next level unless he was a full time starting OL.

His loss was important because he was quality depth and experience that we really needed on the OL. He was NOT any kind of exceptional player for us.

I also agree that Kehoe has beyond overstayed his usefulness here. That dude has been the weakest link for a LONG time. Last year's OL was big, talented, and experienced, and majorly underperformed. Our run blocking was embarrassing. It was even commented on by other coaches how big and impressive our OL was on paper, and how people expected them to be so good, and they just weren't.
 
Most of the guys bragging about Bunche,were the same guys ragging on the staff for playing him last year. I remember" get Bunche the **** out of there" -- "another penalty on Bunche" -- "Bunche got abused again" and my favorite "Bunche looks like he is playing on ******* roller skates" know all of sudden Bunche is great because it allows the mopes to take more shots at the staff. Pretty see through....

I like how it's "well the mopes were lambasting his on-field performance but now all of a suddenly want him back" and also "well the mopes were lambasting Golden's on-field performance but they're clearly delusional ****wads"
