STOP what your doing, Shannon speaks

in a chat in his office Shannon said "you will see this team take the next step
``The Georgia Tech game last year [a 41-23 loss] made us grow a lot.
That will make us a better team record-wise. We're a lot more talented, have a
lot more depth. You don't have to worry about [defensive-line] depth any more.
Two years ago, you had only five defensive linemen to play in a game. That alone
should tell you how far we've come.''

Well time is ticking .This season as a fan I want to see the hurricanes play a full 60 minute.I want to see our running backs move the pile .I want to see Harris finally have a 4 touchdown game.

I want to see our coach staff not get befuddle on the sideline.I want to see out LB making sacks and our corner-back making interception .I want to see our defensive tackles taking over a games

I don't want to see our corner-back missing tackles, after tackles, after tackles .I don't want see Shannon taking mercy on the score board .I don't want to see another 6 or 7 win season.

Shannon said. ``I have confidence in the offense to be a lot better
because they're more experienced. I feel good about the whole
defense.'' He said running back, where UM has six solid players
(including freshmen Mike James and Lamar Miller), ''should be the strength.''
Not that Shannon expects slacking off, but ``if Javarris James and Graig Cooper
-- and they know it -- if they just want to be lazy, well, you play the other
guys. The best guys will play.''

Without question,the best guy should play. I hope the running back position is a opening competition .This will make our players and team better..

• UM rotated as many as nine receivers in 2008, but Shannon said ``we are
going to have maybe four, five guys that are playing. Sometimes people get in
the mode of saying talent, talent, talent. The guys who work the hardest are
going to play.''

I known what it mean to work hard .But, I want the guy who can make a different in gameday . No more starting guys like Khalil Jones the first two possession.The talent at receiver is ridiculous.You try and predict the Top 5 here my..

Thompkins ,Collier will battles it out 5th spots

• Most improved players? Shannon cited offensive linemen Brandon Washington
(an early enrollee) and Harland Gunn, defensive end Adewale Ojomo, receiver
Leonard Hankerson and safety Randy Phillips. . . . He feels much better about
cornerback and expects ''big things'' from Brandon Harris.
• New coordinator Mark Whipple has done ''great things'' with the offense, and Shannon will not curtail his creativity. ''If we have to score 70,
we'll score 70,'' Shannon said. Another clear sign of Whipple's impact: ``Kids
want to be around coaches, want to watch more film on their own.''

Good!

• Shannon's concerns? Lack of backup experience at linebacker -- where '' Ray Buchanan, Jordan Futch and Arthur Brown have to help us'' -- and offensive line. Though Taylor Cook, the likely backup quarterback, improved, ``we've got to bring one of those young quarterbacks around because there's the one guy [ Jacory Harris] and then there's a void.''

Coach these guys up....Is what I say!

Shannon loves Harris' evolution as a leader: ``The players like him. He's always with different guys, not just one group.''
• He said all six early enrollees ''can help us this year.'' Of UM's 19 signees, 17 will be on campus this month. Offensive lineman Malcolm Bunche is headed to prep school and wants to enroll at UM in January. Defensive back Prince Kent (academic problems) is expected to enroll elsewhere.

Unfortunately Prince will not be a Hurricane.

He said UM's ''culture'' is ''totally different'' - there are no off-field distractions, player arrests, etc. Because of that, ``I approach things differently. I don't have to keep grinding them. They are doing all the rights things.''
• Shannon, with two years left on his contract, said he and athletic director Kirby Hocutt spoke about an extension. ``We feel like it's going to happen, but he's busy doing some things . . . as far as facilities.''
