With the turbulence of this year, there has not been any semblance of consistency. And even though Miami’s defensive end position was forced to make adjustments during fall camp, Senior DE, Quincy Roche, provided a steady pass-rush presence for the Canes throughout the season.
The star transfer was initially expected to complement Canes’ 2019 breakout DE, Greg Rousseau, to deliver a nightmare combination for opposing QBs. However, when Rousseau opted out for the season, the expectations for Miami’s disruptive pass rush were slightly tempered as the lethal trio turned to a duo, and it was unclear how Jaelan Phillips would contribute on the opposite end of Roche after not playing since 2018.
