Canes Chatter Gone Wild: Message Board Post of the Day<\/p>\n

Every morning Gary Ferman forces Matt Shodell to wake up extra early to identify the best recent fan CaneSport Message Board <\/a>post. It could be a question, a statement, conjecture, even a food recipe (orange and green macaroni & cheese anyone)? Today\u2019s winner (or loser, depending on your perspective):<\/p>\n

Spring Game Take<\/a> \u2026 Posted by Greentree<\/a>: I was there yesterday and it\u2019s quite apparent the trenches will not be the same as last year but it may not matter. We are much better in other areas. Mensah is the key to this team and will be the difference if we go far. Mensah, Barkate and our WR depth makes this a much different team in the way we impact winning. Mensah can cover up some deficiencies on our OL, so that is promising. I liked what i saw from Luca Gilbert, and Lofton will be improved from last year and even Mueller (black jersey i believe) and Ruskavich played well with the backups. The offense will be setting the pace for this team when everyone is back and healthy. Defensively, we will take a step back a little in setting the edge on the outside but I like our LB\u2019s. I think they will be improved. I am huge fan of Jordan Campbell as far as the young guys and Marcelin and JJ Edwards made some really nice plays as well. Of course, Torre, Smith Pruitt and Bonner will be the front line guys and we will be much improved from last year IMO at LB. The secondary is loaded and Thornton is a great portal addition. JJ Dunnigan stands out at safety, easily the biggest kid out there and he still right out of High School. I do not see how teams will stop our offense. We are just too talented. Barkate is far better than I initially thought and I think Josh Moore will break out this year. Mali is unguardable. Upshaw, Jacobs and Vaughn could all be front line guys as well. Teams will have to go zone against us and I believe our WR\u2019s and TE\u2019s wil eat that up. I noticed thay are trying to throw the ball in the flat to Lyle more. He is much more dangerous in space than running behind the line. We have so much depth at RB and across the board. This is easily the most talented team we have had depth wise since the Butch and Coker years. Like coach said, they have to keep grinding and getting better mentally and lock in. If they have the right mindset and do not get selfish we should have another great year.<\/p>\n

CaneSport\u2019s Response: Other than a poster named Greentree posting about a Spring Game at Cobb Stadium, a lot of the above is spot on. Our big question is OL on that side of the ball and LB on the other, but we agree the line is promising on offense. Mensah is a stud, and agree Luka Gilbert and Elija Lofton plus Gavin Mueller will be what Miami needs at TE. On defense it\u2019s hard to imagine a better line without Rueben Bain and Akheem Mesidor but the inside will be improved and the pass rush will be excellent while perhaps end physicality vs. the run is the big question mark area. The secondary is, as Greentree puts it, \u201cloaded.\u201d And at WR Cooper Barkate is outstanding with smooth route running and a knack for getting open. Agree re Josh Moore breaking out, it was a shame he got hurt and missed the game, and yes Malachi Toney is unguardable. Even in a vanilla spring game we think you got a sense of it. And having watched this team through the spring we agree as well with \u201cThis is easily the most talented team we have had depth wise since the Butch and Coker years. Like coach said, they have to keep grinding and getting better mentally and lock in. If they have the right mindset and do not get selfish we should have another great year.\u201d Excellent post!<\/p>\n
