  • Again. Look. At the end of the day.

    The pod is only good when David gets made at the coaching staff. Otherwise it’s just 2 guys with tons of verbal tics agreeing with each other constantly

Offseason Mailbag Podcast
Q: Which teams or players could surprise as offseason contributors or emerge as top targets in 2027?

Offseason Mailbag Podcast
Q: How many spring commitments are plausible, and could Miami lock in a quarterback before official visits?
They estimate over three and a half commitments as plausible, with a quarterback lock-in before official visits being ideal to set the class trajectory, though they acknowledge the program may target a smaller class overall.
Offseason Mailbag Podcast
Q: Will spring practice give a clear signal on who will be the quarterback for 2027, or will Miami lean on transfers again?
The hosts argue that while transfers are a proven route, a clear signal from spring practice is needed to minimize quarterback uncertainty, with a likely preference toward bringing in a top-tier transfer if the plan doesn't materialize from current quarterbacks.
Mailbag Episode: Where does Miami go from here?
Q: If teams continue to stack the box, do you see us adding in some outside runs, jet sweep screens, or just keep running straight into Brockmeier's butt?
They believe incorporating outside runs and creative play designs could help alleviate defenses stacking the box.
