Does BYU's philosophy trust "system" and not "talent"?

Ziggy is a perfect example of BYU's NFL problem
Walter Bellhaven

Wait, didn't Ziggy get drafted in the first round?
dilbert

The one who was BYU's highest draft pick ever

That would be Steve Young, but I see your point.

Highest NFL draft pick
TrueAndBlue
5/4/15 11:18am
Then it would be tied with McMahon at 5th overall pick.
jkccoug
5/4/15 11:23am
Exactly.
TrueAndBlue

His point is, it was only because of any injury that got Ziggy the opportunity

Was his talent really that disguised? NFL scouts apparently didn't think so.

as has been pointed out, Bronco was one of the first to label him an NFL guy

Neither did Bronco.

Not hating me. You seem to have adapted very well to the Hater role

Pot, meet Kettle and time to look in the mirror.

You're coming off really poorly Zach.

You think we have Ziggy's all over the team and the only reason

Gotta admit, that would be a great problem to have.

I actually think that Ziggy would have been drafted even if he

Before the season, Bronco said Ziggy would be playing in the NFL...and that was

I agree. I think it is the latter option as well.
Walter Bellhaven
5/4/15 11:08am
Yep, Bronco was predicting it quite early
WhiteKnight
5/4/15 11:11am
Ability and knowing how to play football are not the same thing.

He is a perfect example, but not how you put it

Do you want Mo out on the field his Fr. or So. years too?
Deadpool
5/4/15 11:08am
So we should have benched Manumaleuna even though Ziggy seemed semi-clueless?
mulletYno
5/4/15 11:12am
People who suggest that are idiots. However, we start two DE's.
Left Shark Coug
5/4/15 11:15am
We had 3 four-year starters on the DL that year, until injuries hit.
SoCalCoug
5/4/15 11:58am
Actually, 4: Dulan, Manumaleuna, Fuga, Tialavea, all seniors

And with OLB being the premier pass-rushing position in a 3-4, wouldn't you want

I actually just about fully agree with your posts

I think every coach struggles with how to use talented players who don't

Clearly, which based on the odds is a very smart thing to do at BYU.
kccougar
5/4/15 10:53am
Interesting question, but I don't think it's "either or"
PlanoCougar
5/4/15 10:53am
I think the problem is BYU fans overestimate the number of "freak athletes"
TrueAndBlue
5/4/15 10:58am
This is a legitimate gripe
Deadpool

This is a great point. We just don't have that many players of that
jkccoug

I totally agree with this.
PlanoCougar

Coug Dude

The defense is predicated on system responsibility. At least that is how I see
QBarrister

I think Bronco values the "system" over individual talent. And for the most part

Good question. The issue is the Pittsburgh Steelers use the same system.
