Lyle - Why is it that freshman cannot be elite/high end at Miami, but they can elsewhere? Freshman RBs and WRs, etc. excel at places all the time -- this is the last game of the year, he did not unseat Allen and did not have the well rested juice to take over against a battered Iowa State ****** run D. RB1 expectations are RB1 expectations --- and no, I am not writing him off at all.You do have a RB1 is the room. It's Lyle. If you expected him to play like RB1 as a true freshman then I don't know what to tell ya. He's RB1 and that's within the building, not an outside opinion.
And I'm the one who made that statement regarding DB's...
And I said CORNERS.
As mediocre as the CB's have been, that's not Miami's main issue on defense.
It's the inside of their back-7 that's killing them. (Safeties, Nickel, Linebacker)
The CBs got cooked almost all season. Sure, the D is a unit, but we did not have nearly enough at CB to win us games. And of course, CBs can lose games -- and of course if the QB is on his back because the DL destroys them the CBs job becomes a lot easier. Our CB situation is SO BAD, that we have been asked to not have a less than positive opinion about our new portal CB because it may mentally beat him down.
