Fall Practice: Day 3

Day three of the #CanesCamp featured the Miami Hurricanes football team in shoulder pads for the first time. Sunday’s spirited practice featured a welcome sound on the Greentree Practice Fields: the sound of pads popping.

Second-year head coach Al Golden said Sunday that he and the coaching staff would find out a lot about the younger guys in their first day in shoulder pads.

“We’ll find out a lot (about the young guys),” Golden said. “Hopefully, there will be guys that have grown (since the spring) because we are still relatively young. So we’ll learn about them.

“More importantly, we’ll see whether the young guys bite or not,” Golden said. “It’s one thing to bark, but we’ll see if the young guys go ahead and bite today.”

Sunday’s practice was fast-paced, moving from drill to drill and feature a large portion of live action and tremendous amount of all-around effort. Throughout practice, the coaching staff was emphasizing the intricate details of each play.

Both the offense and defense had some solid efforts today, as the offensive and defensive lines were going after each other. Senior DB Brandon McGee made a good pass break-up in 11-on-11, while sophomore DL Olsen Pierre knocked down two passes at the line of scrimmage.

A pair of offensive plays stood out from Sunday’s practice. First, redshirt senior WR Kendal Thompkins had a nice grab in traffic along the sidelines. Then, junior QB Stephen Morris connected with sophomore WR Phillip Dorsett, who had an impressive diving catch for a 20-yard gain before falling out of bounds.

#CanesCamp continues Monday with Miami’s fourth practice, which is slated for 8:20 a.m.

Damit it!
Damn it!

[86Cane]

Maybe for sure I can drive down to your house and go to game with you we can make concrete plans soon.

Posted by: solarcane | August 05, 2012 at 08:39 AM

Abso-friggin-lutely! I need to know which game so I can buy tix now: NCST on 9/29, UNC on 10/13, FSU on 10/20 or VT on Thursday 11/1 or USF on 11/17.

(NOTE: FSU is gonna be crazy so I would prefer it NOT be that game.)

Skool this means U too! Both of U guys can stay here at the CCC with me and we can ride down together and stay at the Hampton.

[nemo2002]

Henderson is a no show again?

[Usagainsttheworld]

Andre Johnson and Mike James!!!

Troll-proofing the fort. Very nice maneuver commander 86cane.

YES SIR! Once we get EVERYBODY to "go blue" by registering with Typepad or signing in through Twitter or Facebook then we can weed out ALL of the trolls much more efficiently and effectively.

So one more time here goes: PLEASE REGISTER WITH TYPEPAD AND SIGN INTO YOUR ACCOUNT BEFORE POSTING A COMMENT.

THANKS!

THE MANAGEMENT

[86Cane]

Us and Nemo...please register and "go blue".

[86Cane]

CGNC...SwagGirl does not post much but YES that is her horse. I know what you are thinking: "Da Skreetz ain't gonna like that!" LOL

SwagGirl lives in Ocala and I think somewhere out in the middle of horse country there.

[coldcane]

LOF...
Morris
Smith

[BigWIndyCane-Forecast1]

LOF: Offense: Duke Johnson
(Freshmen All AMerican) and Defense: Denzel Perryman (All ACC)

Chick and Morris will also make huge statements. Golden's Canes will surprise a lot of people this year as long as they stay healthy.

The strength and conditioning program will pay off and the Canes will be one of the most physical teams in the ACC. They days of the Canes getting dominated up front are over, and the Canes will also bring that old school Canes speed they are known for.

Golden might be on track for ACC coach of the year.

Posted by: BigWIndyCane-Forecast1 | August 05, 2012 at 12:25 PM

I see Golden assembling and building a really good team. He is recruiting and developing the right king of players. Golden is one of the best coaches in the ACC, and the world will know that after the 2012 season.

[usagainsttheworld]

From IPad to Typepad.

[Montreal-Cane]

Too bad that the courage shown by Mike James didn't inspire Seantrel.When your head coach doesn't know where you are after 3 days of camp and that you didn't give him a call...It looks bad.

[canesteeler]

This drama with SH is getting old. If he does not want to be here, it is time for AG to push him out of the door.

[Terrance Sullivan]

Great stuff 86. I think Coach Golden needs to show SH the door. The season is nearing Canespace fam. 86 thanks for the updates.

[Laquinton]

He lost a friend. I believe Seantrel will be at practice tomorrow. If.net he needs t to pack his bags. This season should be awesome

[CoCane]

I thought Golden said in an interview this morning that SH was excused for his absence. If Golden's knows whats up & he's cool. Yall should just chill...

[Willie Will in Nashville]

86,

Where do i go to go blue? Also u didn't answer me back about doing something new with the freshmen?

[86Cane]

INSTRUCTIONS FOR "GOING BLUE":

1. Click on the Typepad link right above the comment box on the blog.

2. Enter your blog name, a valid email address and a password.

3. Enter any profile info you want and an avatar (any photo or logo from your files).

4. When you come on the blog to comment just click on the Typepad link above the comment box and it will direct you to a screen to enter your email addy and your password and then U are logged in under your registered blog name.

[58 Straight]

The beauty of registering is that it seals your "official" blog name as your own so if somebody tries to post under that name then they will be asked to change their blog name or eventually at some point they will be blocked or removed by me, Ohio or Solar.

Just don't try to get "58 Straight" because I already snatched it!

OhioCane and SolarCane both have the keys to the kingdom and are authorized to remove offensive comments or any would-be trolls or spammers. Between the three of us we almost always have someone on the blog or at least checking in very often to control the content and keep it clean and family oriented.

Remember there are several players and their parents/families and even a few recruits who I have been told read Canespace.

There are even a brave few who actually read the comments section. However, they have been warned to do so "at their own risk". LOL

[nemo2002]

Okay, I'm registered.
Does that mean I can now take the paper bag off my head?

[Tsully76]

I am really encouraged that the team is getting physically stronger, which should lead to being mentally tougher, which should hopefully end our Canes making the small plays that win us games instead of losing them.

[86Cane]

Nemo...YES! Take the bag off and throw it away for good.

Terrance...Thanks for registering. It is appreciated. But what happened to that photo of U on Las Olas on Fort Lauderdale beach in the Canespace shirt? LOL

[Tsully76]

86 I should have registered using my Facebook account and you would see the pic I am trying to change my Twitter pic lol. Anytime 86. Look forward to seeing you all on September 14th is Duffys the spot at 6pm and the Hampton.

[solarcane]

soup thanks!
Id love to see unc get throttled and if ocala is there that would be sweet!!!!!!!!!!
Email me or call me and I'll send the dough for the ticket

[Laquinton]

Whats up with Brennan Carroll. This should be a crucial year foe him. Te's were terrible and he sucks at being the national recruiter

[86Cane]

NOTICE TO ALL BLOGGERS:

1. Please do not post your LOF selections until Monday AM-Wednesday PM. I will start saving them then.

2. Based on several requests we will have three selcections this year:

One on Offense
One on Defense

And a new "Impact Freshman Of The Year" selection as well so U will be making three choices not just two.

3. Should we have an "Impact Coach of the Year" also?

[86Cane]

LQ...Carroll spends his time and earns his $$$ as the National Recruiting Coordinator at UM. I think that the DB coach, the WR coach and the DL line coach ALL better earn their $$$ this season!

[Old Skool]

Okay. I'll go for UNC. Let me know what you need for tix

[86Cane]

Skool...check email, just sent with all of the 411.

Vernon Carey retires and accepts co line coach at MNW

I hear you 86. Im just saying Te play was horrible and what players nationally came to the u that was recruited by him ?

top 100 college players for 2012

#80
LB Arthur Brown, Kansas State

101 tackles in 2011

Particulars: 6-1/228, Sr.; transfer from Miami, preceded by Wichita (Kan.) East
Buzz: Brown was one of the nation's top recruits as a high school senior but didn't do much in two seasons at Miami. After he sat out the 2010 season following his transfer, Brown started to live up to the hype last season. He led K-State with 101 tackles, flashing the athleticism that made him such a lauded recruit. He added 9.5 tackles for loss and had one interception, against Baylor's Robert Griffin.

[Hassan]

Robert Lockhart and Ladarius Gunter One they are 1 year and 2 years removed from HS with 4 and 3 years of eligibility remaining. These are the type of kids that the previous regime would over look and not even recruit and Golden goes out and gets kids that can contribute right away and in the coming years these kids both have the ht/wt/speed and talent to have the NFL Drooling in a few years. We all love the big name 4 and 5 star SFLA kids but sometimes these kids that slip out under the radar can be big time talent that can really help get us back to where we used to be.

So I've been around for 5 years lurking but why does everybody want to be first?

meast,
its a kind of traditional blog competition from way back in the SS Omar Kelly days a dude nicknamed MH would get on first like 12 times in a row then we all started trying to beat him, soup kept the tradition alive when Canespace was born

[solarcane]

ocala you gonna go to UNC with us ???

Great quote from the Purdue coach

"You can tell everybody was flying around and everybody was really intense," he said.

Sounds like Coach speak 101 or maybe he's just a fan of the monkeys from the Wizard of Oz

[86Cane]

Looking forward to this season and seeing the Canes play, just not sure which game yet.

Posted by: SwagGirl | August 05, 2012 at 05:35 PM

Go to the UNC game. Apparently Canespace is gonna have some local and not so local people going to that one.

FSU game is gona be crazy. The VT game is on a Thursday in November?

[Ohio_Cane]

86, will there be a blog post dedicated to LOF, and how and who to pick from?

[OCALACANE]

Solar sup brudda?

When is UNC?

[Hassan]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjzI6Av_1OU&feature=g-vrec

Big time talent.

[86Cane]

Ohio...yes the LOF blog will post tomorrow at lunch time with selection options.

I don't think there needs to be ANY restrictions on players that people can pick this year. Do U agree?

One player on offense
One player on defense
One Freshman of the Year
One Coach of the Year.

[86Cane]

Ocala...UNC is on 10/13. Check your email ASAP!

[orange 'n green in the vein]

I'm all for no LOF restrictions every year even though it would have been a sweep for Spence last year on D, this year it needs to be wide open because there's absolutely no sure things on the roster anywhere except maybe kickers?

[solarcane]

the only restrictions on the players is the kiss of death I cast upon them with my nominations see

t collier
t streeter
g paul

[solarcane]

ogv you going to the unc game?

[OCALACANE]

86...

Replied...

all in...

U yesterday
U today
U tomorrow
U forever

[Ohio_Cane]

86, agreed there shouldn't be any restrictions like last year. OGV is right, there's no point with this squad because everyone would've picked Spence last year except those trying to be different.

[orange 'n green in the vein]

solar, honestly, right now, I don't know. This year I'm really only determined at this moment to see the homecoming game and the VT game and I can tell you there's no way I'll be watching Bethune's scrimmage even if they rip off another 400 yard day on offense. The rest of the home games are actually pretty attractive from a quality of competition standpoint but I also think this team isn't going to be very good this year so it's tough to justify the costs to see sub-par product.

If UM opens 4-0 though, you can bet the family house I'll be there for the NC State game and if they make it to UNC week undefeated or just a loss on the record out of conference or at least out of the division, I'll probably drop the cash to get down to Miami to see it in person at that point.

I'm sure that admission will open me up to all kinds of dumb 'fair weather alumni' criticisms but whatever, I've always got something better and cheaper to do than watch mediocre college football played by the school I went to, much like the rest of the local UM fan-base, minus you know, the school I went to part of that statement. UNC should be a great team this year though if Fedora can keep them zoned in despite having nothing to really play for thanks to their NCAA sanctions.

[SwagGirl]

86Cane
The UNC game may work great for my schedule.
Will let you know so we can meet up!!!

[elliott]

evidently my avatar was too big? It will not work for some reason...

[elliott]

Hey it worked out!

[Pbcfrcane13]

Its nice to have some football back on.....can't wait for some college football. Any word if the scrimmages will be open to the public?

[solarcane]

ogv
I think most of the I'm a real fan cause I go to every home game crowd has matured enough to realize a lot of real fans live 10+ hours away or have lives outside the Canes 24/7 club.
I have seen a lot of folks that three years ago were in deep denial about how bad we are realize now they weren't fooling anyone but themselves.

Cripes when I told The Truth 4 years ago we were in for a decade of 7-6 to 8-4 teams it was like I was insane, now everyone is thinking hey 8-4 ain't that bad, go figure.

[4-Real]

The fact that the NCAA is asking UM 2 call up former players & going door 2 door begging people 2 corroborate Shapiro's claims means they ain't got nuthin solid, cuz if they did they would have cocked the hammer by now. Yet & still they gotta give us sumthin becuz of who we are, not 2 mention pacify the millions of Hurricane haters around the globe.

[Willie Will in Nashville]

Soup,

I think we need freshman LOF for offense and defense. And I think Perryman and Chick should be the only restrictions. For freshman Duke and Howard or Bush

[Tsully76]

Is anybody going to the Bethune Cookman game besides me.

[Willie Will in Nashville]

i'm in "Blue", well come to find out i've been in blue since omar kelly days but forgot about it lol

9.63 wow Bolt is crazy fast, of course NBC in their infinite wisdom decides to not show the marque event in the Olympics live they tape delay it in the U.S while 2 billion around the world watch it live. Here is another classic NBC move

The controversy ignited as sportscaster Bob Costas wrapped his analysis of her incredible routine during the all-around competition last night.
Costas said: 'There are some African American girls out there who tonight are saying to themselves: "Hey, I’d like to try that too." More from London in a moment.'
The broadcast then went to a commercial break, showing an advertisement featuring a monkey wearing a gymnastics uniform and performing a rings gymnastics event

WURD ON DA SKREETZ IZ:

1. On the Swaz thing. When the HC hands out the program he wants ballahs to follow with no adjustments to it, its not on Swaz its on the HC. When the S&C coach gets his azz torn apart for tryin to put somethin different in that sure the f aint on Swaz. Put it this way, it dont matter if you played sports or not that program was f n easy. Wake me up at 3am with a stomach full of slurpees and I could bust that out with ease and im a miserable azz goon when someone wakes my azz up.

2. Im still in good shape, do my grind daily and I couldnt do a full week of the new program Al and Swaz gotz goin now. Da&@ straight I told them youngbucs its only cause im older and have been through the grinds before.

3. Butch Camp was f n raw. Cant just let these young boiz know I got no gas in my tank no more lol. Camp Swaz is greasy now

Gatlin - took 42.5 steps

Bolt is a Machine. Guys on here a long time know I love my Track & Field. I trained a former NCAA Champ myself he ran a 9.98 but Bolt is crazy fast, I am proud of Gatlin after a 4 year ban to come back and run a PR 9.79 and Gay to run a fast 9.80 after hip surgery but right now the Jamaicans have our #.

I'm not a Phins fan, but do any of you SoFloridians have any 411 on how Vernon and Miller are doing so far in Training Camp?

Ok, so I'm in Hassan's camp. I registered w/ TP and rec'd the conf. e-mail:

Welcome to TypePad!

Dear Pre83,

Congratulations — you’re now part of the rapidly-growing TypePad community. As a TypePad member, you can join and track exciting discussions around the web, deliver a better commenting experience to your blog readers, and connect with others in the TypePad community.

I even rec'd two e-mails from TP, FWIW.

But I'm not blue...well, emotionally now I am, but what gives?

[Pre83]

Test

[86Cane]

Pre...U are BLUE!

[Pre83]

I guess you are required to sign in even after officially registering.

Yeah, yeah, I can follow directions, 86:

4. When you come on the blog to comment just click on the Typepad link above the comment box and it will direct you to a screen to enter your email addy and your password and then U are logged in under your registered blog name.

Whatever - I believe it is just a scam by 86 to pump up some posts as knuckleheads like myself try to get up to speed.

Of course I'm joking. Looks as though I have a couple laps coming for my mental error.

[86Cane]

For those that have registered with Typepad:

U just have to sign in once U get to the blog by clicking on the typepad link just above the comment box and entering your email and your password. It only takes 15 seconds but it is SO helpful when it comes to managing the blog.

I suggest that U get with the program: Anybody NOT in blue by 9/1/12 MAY be subject to removal or banning.
