The Work 9-4

[weownfsu]

"
The overall vibe is obviously disappointment. Lack of execution was evident and that seemed to be the most frustrating part to players/coaches. They felt like opportunities were there to win the game and they just did not capitalize. Not really any hard-hitting stuff there, but I thought I should share. "

This is disturbing. The coaches actually think that if players had just "executed" they would have won?

Well, here's the thing. In your fourth year with a veteran team, execution shouldn't be an issue. But an even bigger issue is that the coaches don't realize that they put players in situations where "executing" is just not realistic. When you have a questionable OL, and do absolutely nothing to slow down Louisville's rush, of course "execution" is going to be a problem.

LOL So much for the **** South Florida kids, lets recruit Jersey.

 

[Billy D Williams]

I wouldn't blame the kids and it's not right to do so. No freshman QB would have been successful behind that OL. The problem is Kehoe bad choices and cannot teach technique and Coley offense is predictable and doesn't concern teams. Coley has got to be the worst WR screen teacher in all of football. D'Nofrio couldn't adjust his belt never alone a defense. They threw over the middle a thousand times and he still was dropping the LB's. Al is always blah! Blah! Blah! Full of ****. Personnel changes will not cure what is wrong with this team unless its at the coaching level.

 

[The Franchise]

To add on it is not all about being a big back, I do not know where some became obsessed with big backs. You give the guy who can produce (yearby) the ball.

it has nothing to do with being obsessed it has to do with common sense. if a defense is gonna stack the line, then you're not gonna really have a hole to run through. so it makes sense to have a heavier and stronger back to push the pile. it's the same reason you don't drew brees in many short yardage qb sneaks. you don't even need a talented back, just someone who can gain a yard.yearby has loads of potential but i would not have him running dives on short yardage situations. just doesn't make sense schematically and sounds like something our inept staff would do.

If Edwards was capable of being that guy, I'd rather have him getting those carries. Edwards isn't the kind of back that can be counted on to do that as of right now.

Let's see what Yearby can do. I'd be willing to bet Tucker might even be a better option than Edwards.

Definitely down with giving Tucker more burn in the backfield. I understand he is on d because of what happened in the off-season but he is super athletic and great size.

I've come to realization that he is a freak athlete but not much of a football player... I don't think he has the vision to be anywhere on offense...

His putrid effort on that kick return for a TD supports your opinion of him as a football player.

But I gotta LULZ at Yearby as a short yardage back. The dude is so small he's getting finger tackled right now. He's going to be great for us, but he's not a short yardage back.

You want a short yardage back right now? Get Gray ready.

I think IMO that if a few plays here and there were executed better offensively then Miami wins.
The lateral was likely a TD as it was 2 on 1.
Kaaya was 15-20 on downs other than 3rd. 2-9 on 3rd down. A few completions and there's a new set of downs and opportunity to throw out more plays.
There were ridiculous calls yes but the gameplan looked similar to what I recall seeing all last season too.

 

[CentralRockets2000]

Pete, any word on Jelani Hamilton.. will he see action coming weeks or do you think hes moving on?

Would be surprised if he ever makes a meaningful play at Miami.

LMAO!!!!! 4* STUD for the star whores!

Kid didn't have the desire, unless it was for a 4th scoop of ice cream.

 

[SFbayCane]

Random search of the following rosters to see how many New jersey kids they each have on their current rosters:


Alabama = 1

LSU = 1

Wisconsin = 2

USC = 1

Oregon = 1

FSU = 4

Oklahoma = 1

UM = 10


* Note that these numbers include some walk-ons; Based on the rivals.com roster for each team.

The problems with Gray for now are 1) he runs too high, needs to learn to run with lower pads, 2) came to camp late and out of shape, 3) needs to learn the playbook, 4) needs to learn to catch with his hands. I think he is at least a few months away from being as good as Gus.

Stop. That gameplan wasn't anything like what we saw last season, and last season's gameplans against any team with a pulse were ****, too. It was a garbage approach that set kids up to fail. This is college football. The execution is going to be lacking to begin with, so you put your players in spots where they have multiple chances to make plays throughout the game. UM did the opposite of that.

Louisville had multiple fumbles. They had wide open dropped passes. They didn't execute perfectly, or even that well. Yet they still kicked our *** because they kept the pressure on and didn't play offense in a shell and defense in a way that makes sense to nobody with an IQ over 40. We did.

In year four, no one should be saying if we had done this or if we didn't miss that tackle or if we made that completion. That was not a good UL team. Not in the least bit. They were handed to golden on a platter and he tripped all over himself. Fact is, the team like many games before Mondays looked lost and unprepared. It's an Al Golden MO and it's not changing

 

[sebastian91]

hey pete. what about joseph yearby's stature or running style makes you think he's a good short yardage back? you don't want a guy who dances around or who weighs 185lbs. i think walter tucker would be a better option because he runs hard and has the power to pick up the short yards needed.

Because Yearby runs hard. He's decisive in his cuts and hits the hole with authority.

Edwards is soft and timid when he's running the ball. A back that big should be looking for contact and delivering punishment.

Jerome Bettis wouldn't have found a hole the way the OL blocked all of those short yardage plays.

Some ****** (SunriseCane) just negged me and said "Hey dumbfvck, Edwards is soft and blows. It's not on the OL. Kill yourself."

While Edwards may be soft, only a complete "moran" would claim that it's not on the OL to at least put a hat on someone.

I'll post it for the 20th time...

Jelani Hamilton is a one-off recruit. He was clearly a 4 star kid coming out of high school. His height-weight-speed combo made him a 4 star. But many of us who saw the kid play in HS saw that he played lazy and often didn't even finish extended plays. He was the beneficiary of being on an awesome D line that included joey bosa. Moreover, he was a St. Thomas Aquinas kid, so golden had to recruit him.

Before he even got on campus, I was among a good sized handful of posters from Canestime premium predicting that he'd never sniff the field here. This one was fairly easy to call IMO. You can't out-coach lazy.

 

[gfer1988]

another big thing that bothers me about this coaching staff is that they almost seem to game plan harder for practices than for games. i remember watching the camp videos and seeing corner blitzes, tight man coverage, tight ends running seem routes, and far more deep throws. than game day comes around and we see none of this during the game.

 

[01Canes]

The overall vibe is obviously disappointment. Lack of execution was evident and that seemed to be the most frustrating part to players/coaches.

I appreciate The Work, as always Pete. But the sources who told you this seem to be putting the onus far more on the players than the coaches for the opening day loss by blaming execution. I can't agree with them at all on that.

Just a few examples, posted by others after the game, of the coaches putting the players in position to fail.

Those are just a few of many examples of inexplicable defensive alignments and a failure to put proper personnel on the field to defend multiple receiver sets, which has been a problem ever since this staff arrived. Three-man rushes, 10-yard cushions, soft zones that are easily exploitable, etc. The defense played well enough to win for the first three quarters, but they were going up against a Louisville offense that was missing its two most talented players (Parker and Dyer). And none of this even touches on the absurdly conservative, unimaginative offensive gameplan.

A lack of execution being the most frustrating part to the coaches screams of a lack of accountability and self-awareness. They had months to prepare following the beatdown at the Rustled Bowl and they failed our players on gameday once again. That's not to exonerate the players of any blame, but the coaches deserve plenty of criticism for their role in that blowout loss.

We need to be making our mark in Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, and Virginia instead of New Jersey anyways.
