TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida States Derwin James came into the season expecting to be the quarterback of the defense. Due to an injury the second week of the season, his role has changed to more of a coach.The sophomore defensive back, who suffered a torn meniscus in his left knee on Sept. 10, is hopeful he can return by the end of the season for the 23rd-ranked Seminoles. In the meantime, he has been trying to coach up the defensive backs on the sideline for what has been a beleaguered defense.Going into Saturdays game at No. 10 Miami, Florida State (3-2) is among the nations worst defenses and has dropped two of its past three games. It is in danger of dropping its first three Atlantic Coast Conference games for the first time since 2009.With me being hurt, its like Im learning more as a coach. So its kind of different versus going out there and applying it to the field. Im learning, Im seeing it and now Im telling other guys, James said.James has been encouraged with his rehabilitation progress. He is down to just one crutch and is doing flexibility drills, but he didnt want to give a timeline on his return.James absence has been noticeable. The Seminoles are allowing 6.98 yards per play, which is fourth-worst among the 128 teams in the nation and has given up 25 plays of 30 yards or more, which is second-most in the nation.When James was injured during the third quarter of FSUs win over Charleston Southern, he was leading the team in tackles in the first two games and had recorded his first career interception in the Sept. 5 win over No. 14 Mississippi.Many projected James to be one of the breakout players in college football this season due to his versatility. Besides being a physical safety, he could play as a rush end in certain pass-rushing situations along with occasionally being used as a linebacker or a corner against a slot receiver. Without James, FSUs deficiencies in pass coverage have been apparent.Everybody back there knows what to do. I think were just overthinking. We just need to communicate better, he said.Coach Jimbo Fisher realizes that James absence has been a huge blow to the defense, but didnt want to use that as an excuse for the Seminoles struggles.Hes a great leader. Hes a great guy that keeps things together, and other guys dont have to do things they would be doing, Fisher said. But everybody deals with that. Thats not an excuse in any way, shape, or form. You have to play with what youve got, and weve got good players, and we have good kids. Weve just got to figure out how to get them to play well.Florida State faces another difficult quarterback this week in Brad Kaaya. The Miami junior has thrown for 721 yards in two games against Florida State with five touchdowns and one interception. His 405 yards in last years game were the most by a Miami QB in a game in Tallahassee. The Hurricanes (4-0, 1-0 ACC) are unbeaten at this point for the sixth time since 2000.Miami coach Mark Richt compared James injury to if the Hurricanes lost Kaaya.Said Richt: I just know that hes one of the best players in college football, and its always hard to lose a great player at any position. If theres a quarterback of the defense, he was probably it, and Im sure that makes it tougher to execute. Its tough to lose a great player like that, a great leader.---Online: The APs college football page: http://collegfootball.ap.org---Follow Joe on Twitter: www.twitter.com/joereedy and his work can be found at http://bigstory.ap.org/journalist/joe-reedy Buy Vapormax Australia .
