No, no. Creepy don't play that.
Horrible is the top line. If you tell be before the game that my team's defense will hold the other guy to 17 pts., and w/o a fumbled punt return maybe 10 pts., on the road at their crazy house, run for a buck seventy five with two backs averaging over 5 yds. a clip, just one turnover, I'm liking their chances a lot.
Shit happens. Their receivers are young and retarded, kickers miss field goals, yada yada yada. But these are the things that pissed me off:
Calling Van Dyke's number five times, when the guy is about as mobile as Dan Marino. He's a passer, not an athlete. Why on earth do you call a keeper with that[/i] guy on down and distance plays?
Not only calling his number 5 fucking times, but at least twice that I can remember while in the red zone on critical downs. That's the other thing. Miami was in the red zone often enough to have won this game w/ some breathing room, and it was PRECISELY at that point that the play calling got very bad. Gaddis is supposed to be a good play caller. Didn't see it.
Receivers, particularly Redding, and the drops. Ok, they're babies and maybe they just suck. You have three potential NFL tight ends on the roster. You used one once (with success) and never called his number again. And you started using one of the others mid-way to late in the 4th, with time running out. WTF? Charleston Rambo is gone and it's plain to see how important he was to TVD. Mike Harley too.
They have a throw-back punisher at RB in Thad Franklin. The kid is a fucking beast. He got one fucking touch all night. One. I don't understand that.
George is their best young play maker at WR. We? also waited all night long to find him on the field. Meanwhile, we keep targeting Redding play after play. I don't get it. And all this underneath stuff. Christ
O line play is obviously better already, and if you follow Miami you know that's been a problem for a while. He does do that like it or not. I also like what Kevin Steele has done with the defense. I don't expect they'll get run on for 400 yards by Carolina on the same fucking play despite having two defensive ends that now play on Sundays. So there's that, I think.
But fuck you gotta score and I'm not optimistic.
They'll lose to Clemson, of course, probably Florida State, and maybe Pitt and/or Va Tech. I can see a four loss season, probably not worse than that. I think. Frustrating is the word.
DWAGS and Quooks have their cocks in the air I see. Awfully warm for whatever.
