In the history of BYU, we've never been as deep at DB as we are right now

That might be a little hyperbole, but not much.

Are you really saying that something that has never happened before (or has rarely happened) is a coaching issue? Maybe it's just really hard to get good DBs to come to BYU for some reason, in spite of the best efforts of the coaches.

There is so much wrong with this post I don't even know where to start.

LOL.... well just name one

8/21/14 11:43am

Nevada 2013

lawboy

8/21/14 11:47am

LOL, Nevada, LOL

8/21/14 11:48am

You said name one. And now you're changing the conversation.

lawboy

8/21/14 11:59am

when you score 0 points at half time, it's obvious you need to

8/21/14 12:07pm

Nobody scores any points at halftime. They're in the locker room.

SoCalCoug

8/21/14 12:09pm

Utah and Nevada were the only games where BYU had 0 points at halftime

SoCalCoug

8/21/14 12:20pm

PLease stop bringing the facts

lawboy

8/21/14 12:23pm

Completely agree with this post! Well said.

Answer: Yes. They outscored opponents 161-121 in the second half last year

SoCalCoug

8/21/14 12:13pm

and how many of those points came on the first 3 possessions

8/21/14 12:23pm

Could you please list precisely the adjustments the other coaches made

StantonMac

8/21/14 12:31pm

how about this, we watch the games this year and I will point it out to you

8/21/14 12:38pm

Since it happens so consistently

StantonMac

8/21/14 12:43pm

One good example of this was the Houston game

AFcoug7

8/21/14 1:25pm

Errrrr, try again...

StantonMac

8/21/14 1:44pm

I think your argument is flawed if you are saying...

Eddie

8/21/14 2:16pm

The problem with this statement is...

Tweege

8/21/14 3:22pm

Yeah, because teams clearly only adjust for the first 3 possessions.

lawboy

8/21/14 12:32pm

Didn't you notice VanNoy coming off the corner or the CB blitzs?

Cougarpride

8/21/14 12:59pm

You should apply to coach at BYU. You are so on it.

lawboy

8/21/14 11:47am

Wow, just wow, zinger... no, YOU are on it!

8/21/14 11:48am

Fans of every team think their coaches are bad at in-game adjustments

8/21/14 11:49am

Bingo. What fans are really saying, "just make it so we win."

BarraCouga

8/21/14 11:53am

Well, not really... when you play TCU 4 years in a row

8/21/14 11:55am

You're right. Bronco struggles with defense. My bad.

BarraCouga

8/21/14 12:00pm

Bronco is good at defense but not great at every aspect of defense

8/21/14 12:10pm

Boggles my mind that he hasn't hired you and CC.

BarraCouga

8/21/14 12:16pm

it's okay to accept that Bronco & Anae have weaknesses

8/21/14 12:20pm

I accept that. I just don't think you are qualified to point them out.

BarraCouga

8/21/14 12:21pm

okay, you are entitled to your opinion

8/21/14 12:31pm

Is it okay to make up weaknesses they may not actually have?

SoCalCoug

8/21/14 12:21pm

you really believe Bronco is good at coaching blitzes???

8/21/14 12:27pm

You really believe he's not?

Every coach has weaknesses and makes mistakes

StantonMac

8/21/14 2:11pm

You are just beyond clueless

ALC

8/21/14 2:25pm

What DB were we going to bring off the bench to play nickle or dime?

StantonMac

8/21/14 12:01pm

Please, don't bother PortlandUte with trivial things like personnel

lawboy

8/21/14 12:09pm

so BYU has only 2 DBs on the team every year???

8/21/14 12:13pm

In the history of BYU, we've never been as deep at DB as we are right now

StantonMac

8/21/14 12:27pm

sorry but you don't need elite DBs to play a dime or nickle D

8/21/14 12:29pm

Oh, brother

StantonMac

8/21/14 12:41pm

No, but the DB you're bringing on needs to be at least as good as the LB he's

collie418

8/21/14 12:51pm

You are really quite full of yourself aren't you?

BarraCouga

8/21/14 1:01pm

Joe Sampson played nickle, if I remember right he was a safety

ALC

8/21/14 6:28pm

LOL! With your impressive resume, you are a shoein at DC and OC! So sad you

I don't talk BYU football at parties...

8/21/14 11:53am

Agreed on the blue zone fade route frustrations.

8/21/14 11:57am

Ever thought it might be a throw Taysom isn't good at?

byusage

8/21/14 12:11pm

Well, then they should just get a QB who can make all the throws perfectly every

SoCalCoug

8/21/14 12:22pm

That would be nice, wouldn't it?

byusage

8/21/14 12:28pm

BYU outscored opponents 94-55 in the 3rd quarter last year.

SoCalCoug

8/21/14 11:57am

Yea, but we would have outscored them 188-27 had we made halftime adjustments

StantonMac

8/21/14 12:03pm

The one's that prove his point.

Howell is gonna be dialing up the blitzes this year

SUAVO

8/21/14 12:41pm

IMO, our RB depth is pretty good this year.

8/21/14 12:46pm

I absolutely agree. B and A will ride their opinions to the point of complete

8/21/14 1:12pm

Did he just say Bronco is terrible at disguising Blitzes?

Taylor Nazareth

8/21/14 1:23pm

I thought we were pretty good at getting to the QB.

Harrison0Yfan

8/21/14 1:31pm

Bottom line it: Bronco's adjustments are to execute better, not change tactics

Mars

I agree with this post...but you left off the most important coaching flaw

8/21/14 5:50pm

You have to love the LB's covering slot WR's. Gotta love it.

GOBIGBLUE

8/21/14 6:24pm

I completely agree.

That was a serious breach of your alleged duty.
