Secondary is an easy fix too, it's personnel. Markeith and Zaquon need to start at safety. Markeith is a guy who finds the ball no matter where it is. He's started, he knows the calls. Move Meesh to the Nickel as well as Jaden Harris. You get a better secondary like that because Meesh and Harris are not instinctive, natural safeties. Both should be in the corner rotation, not starting at safety.
@@1mgofepinephrine120 Not saying Zaquan is going to be lights out but if ALL of your safeties are going to get lost in coverage, at least put the guy out there that can make tackles in open space and give you run support. He'll get better with pt.
I think Mario should Call up The Legend Ed Reed . He could help this Secondary in a Huge Way Especially The Safeties the main spot we are weak at . He will have these Safeties Flying Like Hawks to the Football. He could offer them some Advice that they could take with Them Forever. I think that’s the advantage Hurricanes Have Calling Ed Reed to work with the Safeties for these next two weeks before this Wake Forest Game. Give them Different Techniques and Pointers and They gotta work on their tackling Sharpen that up for these next 3 games. If they can do that every single week for each game including the Championship Game. Now you have a Dangerous Miami Team .
@ it’s one LB and The Secondary,The Defensive Line is Getting Pressure but their not playing to their True Potential. The LBs excluding one That’s Wesley . And Secondary Players All Suck except The True Freshman OJ at CB everybody else besides those two are playing absolutely Terrible. What Games have you been watching
We all know what is wrong with the defense, the biggest problem against GA Tech was that Cam refused to take what the defense was giving him, and kept going for the big play. Cam seemed to be more worried about winning the Heisman, than winning the game. There were plenty of times where he refused to hit the check down or take off and run. Defenses keep playing a 2 high safety against Miami, leaving a ton of space for a check down or for Cam to take off and get 5 yards. Do not get me wrong I love Cam and what he has done in elevating the program but at the same time he needs to understand what the defense is doing against him and take advantage of it. There were plenty of times where Martinez was wide open but instead he would throw the ball deep into coverage. Once again, I absolutely appreciate what Cam has done, I just wish he would take what the defense is giving him, force the defense to adjust, which will then set up the big play.
I agree, he needs too hit the checkdown way more often. Idk if it's the heisman thing tho, i'd imagine going back on his WSU tape he probably never hit the checkdown there either. If he wants too be succesful in league he need to take the checkdown. Every close game this seson the checkdown has been there.
My brother you are so spot on with your take of the gtech game, I mentioned the same thing on another site and was told to relax were 9-1 😂😂😂 go canes 🙌
Last couple weeks of taking terrible angles is putting it very politely lol. The safeties have been doing that all season and we have been losing contain all season. This falls largely on coaching in my opinion. What I don’t understand is, is the scheme that complicated that we cannot play man and we can’t play zone. How are these players still lost in pre-snap motion?
@@shawngreenlee8819 . THANK U AND U ARE CORRECT DAWSON NOT SMART ENOUGH TO DO IT . HE ONLY THINK POUNDING THE BALL IS RUN GAME AJ ALLEN AND LYLES IS HOME RUN HITTERS
We've all been seeing the many shortcomings of Miami's defense for the past 5 or 6 weeks and the coaches unable to fix it don't tell me Miami's coaches can't find help if they can't fix it themselves.
What? The D is extremely talented! & Sure we need to “realign” the D to be more Stout! But, winning chemistry needs one major element & that’s Discipline & route integrity! Portis said it best as he recalled Ed Reed…”Quit thinking about a game changer, & focus on the play as it progresses!” & If the big play comes, then that’s because it was bound to happen as the assignment was done right!” Thank you fellas!🙌
You need to give some of the young guys some run like the Washington brothers Stratford Dylan day Ryan Mack Zaquan Markeith Scott Blount Lightfoot Coke Hayes Pruitt give them all run obviously our guys are struggling
I don't remember seeing or hearing the majority of guys on this list in a game. Since everyone is high on OJ, move him to safety. Teams will be content to run on us for the rest of the year until we prove we can stop it. DE's leaving the edge open is on the coaches. I would rotate DE's in the game until one can understand his assignment. No matter what amount their NIL deal is. Same for lbs with no gap integrity, awareness or tackling ability.
Coach had a few opportunities to kick for 3 and decided not to. Ended up lose by 5. Yes the defense needs work but these things can be fix in a week. Canes went up there to Atlanta, and thought they were going to cake walk. After a team has a 10 minute 17 play drive you kinda gotta take points when in position. But hind sight is 20/20
You can’t blitz when your corners can’t cover or don’t know how or where to line up ! I wonder if they even run a scout team offense that the team their playing runs, because they act like they never saw motion
Guidry better run a 3-4 or 3-3-5 to stop the run to the edges. Run zone so they don’t run the dbs out of the plays on the edge. SMU is going to run every play to the outside with Brashard and score over 50 against us in the ACC championship game.
Guidry isn't calling good games period. Most teams have figured out his aggressive nature and schemes he uses. It's obvious the d gets attacked the same way almost every game.
Yep and I knew Brent Key would have his way with Guidry. He is the one that exposed TVD last year. Miami was outcoached and players looked lost like they had never seen a highschool offense. Thats basically what GT ran. Houston we have a major problem. We need Elijah Alston back BAD
What would that accomplished? This defense is beyond horrible, and changing coaches isn't going to fix it. It'll start in Spring practice 2025 with new players.
@@enorytl . I CAN TELL U NEVER PLAYED OR COACHED FOOTBALL AT ANY LEVEL NOT EVEN POP WARNER FOOTBALL BY ASKING THAT QUESTION. IT WOULD ACCOMPLISH A LOT AND ACTUALLY STOP OPPOSING OFFENSES FROM TOTALLY MOVING THE FOOTBALL UP AND DOWN THE FIELD !!!! ANYWAYS ........
Every player on defense, with the exception of CB OJ Frederique, has gotten worse. NFL talents like Tyler Baron, Ruben Bain Jr, Kiko M, etc…are getting worse with every game. The Common Dominator? DC Lance Guidry. He’s gotta go.
We might just have to play conservative on offensive and keep our offense on the field for as long as possible and it sucks because of how special this offense is. But idk if this defense is fixable we are so fundamentally unsound it’s so bad we have to keep defense off the field at this point. Unless we make some serious personnel changes and scheme changes we are screwed. Communication and personnel has to be better.
Would like to see Miami run the ball more, to take some pressure off the defense. They are starting to run the ball well, but never seem to stick to it.
Defense starts up front with the DLine, which has been lacking to say the least! Barely any significant impact (sacks/TFL/runstop) from our DLine has exposed our secondary!
The fix is easy Start Cam Pruit at Middle Linebacker put kino on the Bench and Statrt Zaquan Patterson and Markeieth Williams at Safety.. Stop alm that stupid Stunting on the dline and put peopje at DEnd that can contain the outside
It's a shame that if Miami had a halfway decent defense they would be a championship contender. Just doing the basic things like staying in their gaps and tackling would make the defense much better. Lance Guidry is not getting the players ready. He needs to find alternate employment next year.
Team speed in the backend does seem to be a problem. I guess what I meant there was that this D-line should be taking over more games. NFL dudes up and down the D-line, but they are not playing like it.
Pre snap motion kills us because instead of having the opposite side safeties dropping down they have them chasing all the way across so now they are behind the play it’s not the players it’s the coaching bro watch the tape there eye discipline was actually good please know what your talking about
Linebacker isn’t good in coverage, and needs to see more of Ajay Allen! Mesidor needs to be on the end, and Baron on the inside!!!!!! And rotate the defensive line more!!!
The linebackers play has been nonexistant Kiko looks like hes running in cement, the DE's cant seal the edge and the secondary's awful but this is on Guidry he's done nothing to improve this and they are getting worse. Guidry was outcoached plain and simple. Explosive plays allowed Miami is ranked 91st WOW. Ive been saying play Alderman we need faster LB;s
Hard for them to created negative plays when they stunt every play and they stunt themselves right out of the play watch the difference in the Florida game compared to this one against Florida they were allowed to Jjst go get the qb now it’s stunts and knifing down for no reason
You are spot on about pre-snap motion confusion,we have the talent I've never seen a defense get worse as the season goes on.
Agreed! I kept waiting for improvement, but could see the handwriting on the wall.
Can I drink something sweet after 1am
Markeieth Williams led all DBs with picks in the off season play him danm it
Yeah NO CLUE why he does not get an burn. Like the safety play has been so bad, why not give him a chance to see what he can do. Cannot get much worse
Secondary is an easy fix too, it's personnel.
Markeith and Zaquon need to start at safety. Markeith is a guy who finds the ball no matter where it is. He's started, he knows the calls. Move Meesh to the Nickel as well as Jaden Harris. You get a better secondary like that because Meesh and Harris are not instinctive, natural safeties. Both should be in the corner rotation, not starting at safety.
Not sure why Markeith does not get a chance. Safety play has been horrible last couple weeks. Why not give him a chance to see what he can do.
Exactly bra 💯 Markeith is Miami's ball hawk. Both Markeith Williams and Zaquan need to be starting with Ed Reed teaching out there
Did you guys not see Zaquan Saturday? He was a mess too.
@@1mgofepinephrine120 Not saying Zaquan is going to be lights out but if ALL of your safeties are going to get lost in coverage, at least put the guy out there that can make tackles in open space and give you run support. He'll get better with pt.

You serious you will miss Cam next year. The only thing you should be critizing is that garbage Defensive of Coordinator
Where talking about a horrendous defense and your blaming the best quarterback in the country

The offense has 6 running backs with different styles, need to use them all, instead of wanting to pound the ball!!!

Please start Markeith Williams and Zaquan Patterson at safety. Have Alderman getting more play at LB because Kiko can't tackle.
Great film analysis 😎🙌🏾
Missed tackles continue to plague the defense. That’s fundamentals.
Its not the players. Last year they gave up the edge for the winning touchdown against Georgia Tech. Baron was not there but Guidry was.
What? Last year they threw 2 passes for 80 yards. The second went for the winning TD when our AA S let the receiver get behind him.
We've all been seeing the many shortcomings of Miami's defense for the past 5 or 6 weeks and the coaches unable to fix it don't tell me Miami's coaches can't find help if they can't fix it themselves.
Almost seems like it just keeps getting worse. They gotta find some answers in the off week.
Guidry is over his head. 1 needs to be benched and we definitely miss Aholston
Would it be fair to say the Miami D has to get back to the basics of defense? Probably a bit on offense too.
100%. I think the fundamentals seem to be the biggest problem. Run fits and tackling are maybe the two biggest struggles.
Cam just had a bad day.The defense is an off season problem to fix
Our defense is childish simple ‼️
What? The D is extremely talented! & Sure we need to “realign” the D to be more Stout! But, winning chemistry needs one major element & that’s Discipline & route integrity!

It’s as simple as play calling and alignment on defense period go watch coach Hayes breakdown
Guidry isn't blitzing hardly at all no run blitz obvious lame blitz packages when they do. He's changed since the Florida game no idea why.
You can’t blitz when your corners can’t cover or don’t know how or where to line up ! I wonder if they even run a scout team offense that the team their playing runs, because they act like they never saw motion
Defense just feels different to me as well. September this defense was damn good, its now a disaster.
@@rocboysfootball 5 DBs are out on IR. But the Dline was the biggest disappointment last week
You can’t fix it at this point of the season. This is what we are going to get the rest of the season.
I agree with that.I watch Football for a very long time and I never seen a bad defense becoming good in the same season with the same DC
Yes I agree 💯 percent we need a former Player to run the Defense 💪 like Ray Louis or Warren SAPP
Guidry better run a 3-4 or 3-3-5 to stop the run to the edges. Run zone so they don’t run the dbs out of the plays on the edge. SMU is going to run every play to the outside with Brashard and score over 50 against us in the ACC championship game.
I was thinking the same thing with that SMU matchup. Hard to see this defense stopping SMU right now. A lot needs to get cleaned up.
I've been waiting for the 3-3-5. Theres no excuse for how bad this D is.... Is Mark Donofrio back on sidelines
A DE should never attack the B gap, if there’s no one to cover the edge. This is bonehead football. I doubt any coach in America would call that.
Yeah just simply could not understand that. Was not the only time we saw that in the game as well. Needs to get fixed
Guidry isn't calling good games period. Most teams have figured out his aggressive nature and schemes he uses. It's obvious the d gets attacked the same way almost every game.
