Why N'Kosi Perry will be Starting QB

[Ice Cube]

I feel like a lot of these new guys don't even know the game of football. These aren't the same athletes he has at his disposal here in Miami. Just watch and see.

I agree, but that is not enough. I try to like MR. He makes it difficult at times to like him. I think he "could" be a great Program Manager. The only thing that will stop MR from being a NC winning Coach is MR. EVERYTHING he does has to be in the best interests of the program. He is slipping in this area.

Can you elaborate a little more?

Worst decision MR made was his decision to call plays. The elite coaches do not make that mistake. B.Kaaya, if not anything else, was an accurate Pocket Passer. MR totally misused BK with his RPO trash and his non-rhythmic play calling. Not saying the RPO is trash...just MR's version. A Competent Play-calling OC would have put Brad in better position to succeed. A Competent Play-calling OC would have been more adept with making necessary adjustments, which includes protections packages. A Competent Play-calling OC would have murdered teams with Njoku seam routes. A Competent Play-calling OC would would have murdered teams with Berrios in the slot. A Competent Play-calling OC would face criticism for poor game management.

I don't trust MR with Perry. Perry may be talented, but he needs Competent Caching...not some hack trying to relive his glory days.

The O-line sucked.

I'd love to see what "A Competent Play-calling OC" in your estimation would have done with that same unit.. I'm sure it involves shotgun and max protection, which Richt ultimately did.

I think he went into each game and tried to have his kids compete before showing them he had no trust in their ability. Bottom line is he sacrificed a year to install his system, because if you cater to Kaaya in year 1 that simply puts the entire unit a year behind. Kids know the plays, blocking schemes and disposition necessary to play Richt's style of football, which is something we can continue to build on this season.

We're a better team now and closer to a championship because of all that.

Which offensive line are you talking about? Are you talking about the one MR chose to use that could not provide adequate protection? Because he used that offensive line unit for eight games. Or, are you talking about the OL unit they were FORCED to use after injuries that provided adequate protection?

Take your time and think about that. While you are at it, think about this: The last four games of the season we faced our best opposing defensive lines and our offensive line performed very well. Why do you think that happened? I'll tell you why it happened. Very Poor player evaluations by Mark richt and staff.

Again, Mark richt could be a very good program manager. However, he is hurting the program by choosing to call plays when he is not the most qualified at this point. In addition, he needs to seriously consider hiring an elite O line coach if the O line struggles again this year.

I think you are wrong with this statement, on the basis that he didn't 'choose' the O-line. If anything the performances of the O-line in practice and spring set the 2-deep, and that falls on the position coach...

Secondly, what about the play-calling was bad? It was their first season and its hard to imagine either Brad nor Mark knew each other's capabilities, tendencies, or their reactions under pressure (both player and coach). IF Brad stayed this year I BET my life you would have seen a different offense for Brad, just as you saw the team's offense evolve as a result of the losing skid. There were production problems and then there were changes. Changes worked and we won 5 on the trot.

You guys are really on over-analysis to the max. Take a look at what you saw last year, in earnest:
Miami ranked higher than FSU in passing offense
Top-20 total Defense

In one year on the job. NOW, there are TONS of areas for improvement and we all see the O-line as a total liability. That should help a lot for us going forward to achieve better offensive consistency.

With all the transfers you will see a transition into players who fit better in this system and I will withhold my judgement on Mark's playcalling until he turns into a one-trick pony. One word for you: Adaptation. If he doesnt adapt to the limitations we found last year and it seems the same for 2017 then I would ask for a change. One season is not a large enough sample size.

MR was a 15 year Head Coach coming into our program. Yet, he made 1st year head coach mistakes.

You said: "Take a look at what you saw last year, in earnest: Miami ranked higher than FSU in passing offense Top-20 total Defense"

Why did we lose to FSU? Why did USF drop 35 on FSU, but we barely scored 19 on them.

I'll just say this: October of 2016 Happened...and MR's mediocre and non-innovative offense was the blame.

Lol blaming all of October on CMR is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Just look at the FSU game, phantom Holding call and an inexcusable interception from Kaaya are the biggest reasons we lost that game.

How are you going to do anything on offense when the o-line couldnt block ****?

And usf put 35 on fsu because they were struggling on defense early in the season. From the mid point of the season on they were pretty good and finished in the top 25 on defense.

On Sep 24, 2016, South Florida drops 35 on FSU
On Oct 1, 2016, North Carolina drops 37 on FSU
On Oct 8, 2016, Miami barely scores 19 on FSU

Now I see it. MR's horrific play-calling did not hurt us after all . FSU's Defense was terrorizing opposing Offenses.

Thanks for helping me see it. MR's offense was not at fault for allowing ND and VT to double their sack totals when they played us.

No its not richt fault that al golden o-linemen that he picked and recruited were not good.

As a matter a fact its richt fault. He told linder to go out their and let the nd dt throw him all over the field. He told the o-line to just let the d-lines run past.

 

[wudee]

Kid has, BY FAR, the best arm on the team. He is also extremely mobile BUT what everyone forgets how important the mental aspect is.
Can he remember the plays? Can he grasp the offense early enough. The mental part is the reason was Shirreffs is in the picture. His arm is mediocre but he is very smart and understands the game.
Bottom line....If Perry learns the offense well enough and can handle the speed/impact of contact at this level, he will be the guy.

That's just it. We all know he is a great athlete with the best arm. All he needs to do is show he has a better command of the O than the guys in front of him. I'm happy with him regardless of how he fares this year in that competition. He's going to be a good one here, either sooner, or down the road just a bit.

for a non EE true frosh that could be a lot to ask, esp early in the season but I agree with your point

 

[No_Fly_Zone]

 

[Bunker Mentality]

I agree, but that is not enough. I try to like MR. He makes it difficult at times to like him. I think he "could" be a great Program Manager. The only thing that will stop MR from being a NC winning Coach is MR. EVERYTHING he does has to be in the best interests of the program. He is slipping in this area.

Can you elaborate a little more?

Worst decision MR made was his decision to call plays. The elite coaches do not make that mistake. B.Kaaya, if not anything else, was an accurate Pocket Passer. MR totally misused BK with his RPO trash and his non-rhythmic play calling. Not saying the RPO is trash...just MR's version. A Competent Play-calling OC would have put Brad in better position to succeed. A Competent Play-calling OC would have been more adept with making necessary adjustments, which includes protections packages. A Competent Play-calling OC would have murdered teams with Njoku seam routes. A Competent Play-calling OC would would have murdered teams with Berrios in the slot. A Competent Play-calling OC would face criticism for poor game management.

I don't trust MR with Perry. Perry may be talented, but he needs Competent Caching...not some hack trying to relive his glory days.

The O-line sucked.

I'd love to see what "A Competent Play-calling OC" in your estimation would have done with that same unit.. I'm sure it involves shotgun and max protection, which Richt ultimately did.

I think he went into each game and tried to have his kids compete before showing them he had no trust in their ability. Bottom line is he sacrificed a year to install his system, because if you cater to Kaaya in year 1 that simply puts the entire unit a year behind. Kids know the plays, blocking schemes and disposition necessary to play Richt's style of football, which is something we can continue to build on this season.

We're a better team now and closer to a championship because of all that.

Which offensive line are you talking about? Are you talking about the one MR chose to use that could not provide adequate protection? Because he used that offensive line unit for eight games. Or, are you talking about the OL unit they were FORCED to use after injuries that provided adequate protection?

Take your time and think about that. While you are at it, think about this: The last four games of the season we faced our best opposing defensive lines and our offensive line performed very well. Why do you think that happened? I'll tell you why it happened. Very Poor player evaluations by Mark richt and staff.

Again, Mark richt could be a very good program manager. However, he is hurting the program by choosing to call plays when he is not the most qualified at this point. In addition, he needs to seriously consider hiring an elite O line coach if the O line struggles again this year.

The line operates a unit so a weak link makes the unit look bad. I don't care to parse hairs but we didn't have enough tackle depth and overall talent to consistently run and pass-block. Look at the first play against FSU or, my goodness, BK getting his molar extracted by an FSU d-lineman. That should never happen. Most of our effective passes were either short hitches or in max-protect. Richt did the best he could and an extra win may have cost more from a development standpoint.

I don't trust MR with Perry. Perry may be talented, but he needs Competent Caching...not some hack trying to relive his glory days.

The O-line sucked.

I'd love to see what "A Competent Play-calling OC" in your estimation would have done with that same unit.. I'm sure it involves shotgun and max protection, which Richt ultimately did.

I think he went into each game and tried to have his kids compete before showing them he had no trust in their ability. Bottom line is he sacrificed a year to install his system, because if you cater to Kaaya in year 1 that simply puts the entire unit a year behind. Kids know the plays, blocking schemes and disposition necessary to play Richt's style of football, which is something we can continue to build on this season.

We're a better team now and closer to a championship because of all that.

Which offensive line are you talking about? Are you talking about the one MR chose to use that could not provide adequate protection? Because he used that offensive line unit for eight games. Or, are you talking about the OL unit they were FORCED to use after injuries that provided adequate protection?

Take your time and think about that. While you are at it, think about this: The last four games of the season we faced our best opposing defensive lines and our offensive line performed very well. Why do you think that happened? I'll tell you why it happened. Very Poor player evaluations by Mark richt and staff.

Again, Mark richt could be a very good program manager. However, he is hurting the program by choosing to call plays when he is not the most qualified at this point. In addition, he needs to seriously consider hiring an elite O line coach if the O line struggles again this year.

I think you are wrong with this statement, on the basis that he didn't 'choose' the O-line. If anything the performances of the O-line in practice and spring set the 2-deep, and that falls on the position coach...

Secondly, what about the play-calling was bad? It was their first season and its hard to imagine either Brad nor Mark knew each other's capabilities, tendencies, or their reactions under pressure (both player and coach). IF Brad stayed this year I BET my life you would have seen a different offense for Brad, just as you saw the team's offense evolve as a result of the losing skid. There were production problems and then there were changes. Changes worked and we won 5 on the trot.

You guys are really on over-analysis to the max. Take a look at what you saw last year, in earnest:
Miami ranked higher than FSU in passing offense
Top-20 total Defense

In one year on the job. NOW, there are TONS of areas for improvement and we all see the O-line as a total liability. That should help a lot for us going forward to achieve better offensive consistency.

With all the transfers you will see a transition into players who fit better in this system and I will withhold my judgement on Mark's playcalling until he turns into a one-trick pony. One word for you: Adaptation. If he doesnt adapt to the limitations we found last year and it seems the same for 2017 then I would ask for a change. One season is not a large enough sample size.

MR was a 15 year Head Coach coming into our program. Yet, he made 1st year head coach mistakes.

You said: "Take a look at what you saw last year, in earnest: Miami ranked higher than FSU in passing offense Top-20 total Defense"

Why did we lose to FSU? Why did USF drop 35 on FSU, but we barely scored 19 on them.

I'll just say this: October of 2016 Happened...and MR's mediocre and non-innovative offense was the blame.

Good points. It's easy to recognize Richt's one-dimensionalty considering that he didn't use not even one trick play the whole season! Opponents knew what we were doing last year most of the time.

Bad argument.
Why not trying to win every game? There was no reason to play so conservatively. Richt should learn from Fuentes. The RB-pass killed us vs. VT.

nah...gimmicks are a sign you can't beat someone straight up, and you should ask James Coley about the HB-pass.

Just wait for it. Richt got this.

 

[eurocane]

A HB pass in a heavy snow storm - are you serious by bringing that up as a comparison?

Anyway, hopefully he will get it right. I am not a Richt hater, but he better realizes that he has to be creative from time to time. Winning is all that matters.

 

[jakeman1]

I don't see Richt turning over playcalling duties any time soon. He made a point of that in his press conference when he left UGA. He wants to be hands on, like he was early on in Athens, when they won the two SEC championships. It's when he started stepping back and delegating, that the trouble started.

 

[Cane6]

There was a lot of blame to be spread around last year
-way too many WR screens; questionable play calls every game
-OL play wasn't very good the first half of the season
-BK has very poor pocket awareness, with average feel for the intermediate game
-Walton tries to act like a power back but is still 5'10" 200lbs

 

[Paskudnyak]

Richt was installing his offense last season. He didn't cater to Brad. We'll be fine.
