Everyone runs it up on them. They've just had enough offense to carry them. But the elite teams are gonna have enough defense to get enough stops to win comfortably IMO. Ward and the offense will still put up points but not enough.

Who are the elite teams? Texas and...?

It's honestly pretty obvious. There was a similar call in the UNC game last week. Announcers are just trying to create drama.

They called in an ESPN rules expert for three random plays that Miami were involved with.

Didn't bring the same rules expert back in for obviously holds / pick plays by Louisville. Someone is trying to create the narrative that the Canes have the ACC refs in their back pocket and, quite frankly, it's hilarious.

I like Restrepo.  But he if he is your #1 and what your O is going through….I don’t call that a championship caliber O.  Thats not how  Championship caliber Os with good QBs are built. 

Hunter Renfrow was a legend.  But Hunter Renfrow was an accessory/role player.  
 

 

The O runs through Ward.

Restrepo, George, Brown, Horton and Arroyo (I think all will play in the NFL - bar maybe George) are a good cast of receivers and of course we have a host of RBs.

Agree to disagree I guess. 

I've just seen a large dose of what happens to teams with no defense carried by their QB in recent years. It's a tough row to hoe week in and week out when every offense you play is going to look elite because of your nonexistent defense so your offense has to be damn near perfect to compete.

    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive lshort or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
    • Then please take a vacation from the team.
    • In addition to his weak arm he has to compensate in the pocket by throwing off his toes due to his height. Respectfully, its a handicap.
