I think Takenaka will be on the field a lot as a Nickel back.

Depth Chart surprises, observations

mjmill

I would think CK would be more of an passing situation DE. I haven't seen

Thrill

8/29/16 12:33pm

Arizona has a very tall offensive line

donnerstag

8/29/16 12:39pm

Aren't both SUU transfers borderline NFL guys?

RenoCoug

8/29/16 12:37pm

I think they were honorable mention

I'mBatman

8/29/16 12:42pm

Yes. That's correct

I saw a couple of SUU games last year and didn't think their O-Line was very

darkcoug

8/29/16 12:45pm

They didn't play well in the first game of the season? Shocking

Coop

8/29/16 12:55pm

And that's suppose to make us feel better? The left side of the OL is a huge

kotacoug

8/29/16 12:58pm

Depends . . . do you feel bad because of SUU's OL performance last year?

Coop

8/29/16 1:05pm

Like I said, I saw a couple of games

darkcoug

8/29/16 1:04pm

What you saw last year is not a valid basis for any strong opinion either way

Coop

8/29/16 1:06pm

Why not? Its the only information we have

darkcoug

8/29/16 1:10pm

It's just not strong enough of a signal to draw any conclusions from

Coop

8/29/16 1:37pm

your scouting report is the only thing we have? I think I'll take the

My name is Matt Foley, and I am a motivational deep snapper

Celeritas

8/29/16 12:50pm

Really worried about the left side of the OL... Like you said

kotacoug

8/29/16 12:57pm

That ol...yikes

Backcountry

8/29/16 12:58pm

Parker Dawe and two SUU transfers... Cross your fingers. Luckily Taysom

kotacoug

8/29/16 1:00pm

What about it?

Bensoncoug

8/29/16 2:51pm

I don't think I need to explain it

Backcountry

8/29/16 5:32pm

Where is Beau Tanner?

NacoCoug

8/29/16 1:09pm

Since we are starting a TE, he doesn't make depth chart is my guess

gww687

8/29/16 2:41pm

Detmer mentioned him today as being in the receiver mix.

Boxey

8/29/16 3:23pm

Can't we move Kanuch to RT?

JKLCoug

8/29/16 1:11pm

i don't think he has the ability, or the body type, to play tackle.

macaroni

8/29/16 1:15pm

Opps, I meant RG. Any chance Kanuch can play RG?

JKLCoug

8/29/16 1:23pm

Sure we can, but coaches disagree

NacoCoug

8/29/16 1:26pm

So you are saying you are smarter than Mike Empey, Ty Detmer and Kalaini Sitake?

Bensoncoug

8/29/16 2:54pm

That's not really what I'm trying to say

JKLCoug

8/29/16 4:03pm

What this means to me

2MeterPeter

8/29/16 3:18pm

It would be entertaining to watch him try though.

shakinbaker

8/29/16 3:22pm

Well, maybe the coaches who coach know what they are doing! I know crazy right!

Bensoncoug

8/29/16 2:52pm

I have been too busy to follow things closely this year, but I thought I had

Clark Addison

8/29/16 1:18pm

Is there a specific reason everyone is thumbing their noses at the SUU transfers and Dawe? Why didn't Lamb hire you guys

Graig Swame

8/29/16 1:26pm

I wouldn't say I'm thumbing my nose, but

JKLCoug

8/29/16 1:47pm

If Kanuch was solid last year and got beat out, isn't that a good sign? How were Nwigwe and Jiminez last year?

Bgash

8/29/16 2:10pm

Ive had lower expectations for Jiminez and Nwigwe. Both didnt play much last yr

NacoCoug

8/29/16 2:32pm

Why do people have low expectations for players when they are freshmen?

southernfriedcougar

8/29/16 3:07pm

RE: Is there a specific reason everyone is thumbing their noses at the SUU

MrTK

8/29/16 2:52pm

I watched Dawe a LOT last year. He was not good.

CaughtForaTouchdown

8/29/16 4:42pm

Maybe all those squats are paying off

beauso79

8/29/16 4:48pm

I think coaches should try out Lake at Safety next year. Could be a good replacement for Nacua.

mitchwhite221

8/29/16 1:26pm

I would love to see Troy Warner at safety since that's what he played in HS

davidnairn

8/29/16 2:58pm

Lake is stocky similar to Joe Sampson. I think he may be too slow to play corner.

mitchwhite221

8/29/16 3:01pm

He's not too slow, he's not physical enough for what the current coaching staff

shakinbaker

8/29/16 3:25pm

He moved to corner as a senior.

southernfriedcougar

8/29/16 3:12pm

Got ya. I just saw that ESPN had rated him one of the best safeties in country

davidnairn

8/29/16 3:23pm

I think a few sources didn't update him that last year.

southernfriedcougar

8/29/16 3:28pm

Agreed cause he is a killer WR also isn't he? I'd be comfortable with him at all

davidnairn

8/29/16 3:43pm

Remember when you tried to tell me there was no two deep...

CoachSpeak

8/29/16 5:22pm

Nope. You're weird.

southernfriedcougar

8/29/16 5:23pm

Of course you don't...

CoachSpeak

8/29/16 7:28pm

Get some help. Hope you can sleep tonight.

southernfriedcougar

8/29/16 7:31pm

I'll sleep just fine....

CoachSpeak

8/29/16 7:36pm

Here's the one you lied about juts now and claimed you didn't post...

CoachSpeak

8/29/16 7:43pm

Seriously, you have a problem. Go away.

southernfriedcougar

8/29/16 8:00pm

You care....

CoachSpeak

8/29/16 8:18pm

Or nickel.

shakinbaker

8/29/16 3:23pm

Where is Troy Hinds?

dadofkhec

8/29/16 1:31pm

Nursing his hip.

Boxey

8/29/16 1:35pm

Taysom can't catch a break. Only 2 OL I'm confident in are Lapuaho and Koroma.

AFcoug7

8/29/16 1:40pm

Try trusting the coaches! I mean they actually coach them and are with the

Bensoncoug

8/29/16 2:58pm

I trust the coaches choices. I don't trust the available OL talent

AFcoug7

8/29/16 3:04pm

Big surprises at OLB: Unga, Jones, Fonua at 2nd string...

bluefish

8/29/16 1:46pm

Unga played safety until like halfway through last season

Coop

8/29/16 1:52pm

RE: Big surprises at OLB: Unga, Jones, Fonua at 2nd string...

MrTK

8/29/16 2:54pm

Stalky doesn't equal stocky.

eyes4byu

8/29/16 5:42pm

Sounds like most of them have gained weight though. Which should help

davidnairn

8/29/16 2:59pm

I never understood why Unga and Jones were playing safety in the first place.

shakinbaker

8/29/16 3:28pm

Sorry, I'm slow & don't check the board. Where's Takitaki ?

bbd24

8/29/16 2:18pm

Not with the team according to Sitake today. Will let us know if that changes. I don't think it will.

Bgash

8/29/16 2:20pm

Dang. Had him penciled in as our sack leader. Darn him

bbd24

8/29/16 2:25pm

Don't count on him playing this season

davidnairn

8/29/16 3:00pm

That's a lot of confidence in 2 starting linebackers having taken zero D1 snaps

cougarfruit

8/29/16 2:25pm

Huh? Pau'u played 8 games last year. Study up yo.

southernfriedcougar

8/29/16 2:56pm

For real. Awkward

davidnairn

8/29/16 3:01pm

I stand corrected. I was definitely confused here. Thought Butch hadn't

cougarfruit

8/29/16 8:58pm

Not many linebackers take snaps.

Florwood

8/29/16 4:20pm

Wolfgramm didn't crack the 2-deep

goldy

8/29/16 2:31pm

Not a tight end anymore

donnerstag

8/29/16 2:35pm

Oh wow, guess I missed that one.

goldy

8/29/16 2:38pm

Another year passed without me cracking the 2 deep at any position...

gww687

8/29/16 2:44pm

Nacua is a co-starter? That's a surprise to me.

Y-Phile

8/29/16 3:08pm

I think it's just a signal that the coaches trust Takenaka

Coop

8/29/16 3:10pm

I think Takenaka will be on the field a lot as a Nickel back.

AFcoug7

8/29/16 3:13pm

Sounds reasonable to me. Would love to see him contribute.

Y-Phile

8/29/16 3:21pm

Biggest surprise is MLP being listed ahead of Trinnamann

2MeterPeter

8/29/16 3:23pm

Let me correct myself. Austin McChesney...biggest surprise

2MeterPeter

8/29/16 3:26pm

I think he's the guy that Criddle said last week could break the two deep

AFcoug7

8/29/16 3:31pm

I think the surprise is that most penciled him as a safety, not a CB.

shakinbaker

8/29/16 3:34pm

What! The dude is a walk-on!

2MeterPeter

8/29/16 3:39pm

He is the fastest player on the team, at least in the 40 yard dash. So he is

Duke Silver

8/29/16 6:09pm

I've heard the "fastest player" tag given to Mike Davis, Taysom Hill, McChesney,

shakinbaker

8/29/16 6:16pm

I have a friend who went to a practice a few weeks back when the skill position

Duke Silver

8/29/16 6:24pm

I'm not calling you a liar. I've seen none of them up close. Just pointing out

shakinbaker

8/29/16 6:31pm

I know you're not calling me a liar, just giving you some context as to why I

Duke Silver

8/29/16 6:41pm

Not denying McChesney is fast, but

BYUCruiser

8/29/16 7:10pm

The practice he went to was the day after the LGBT letter went public.

Duke Silver

8/29/16 9:43pm

fastest guy on the team

ChinaFan

8/30/16 12:20am

Moses Kaumatule starting at DE is a surprise. I've been keeping track of him

byucougarsbig12

8/29/16 3:36pm

Because Laulile is moving over for now.

southernfriedcougar

8/29/16 3:39pm

The only tidbits were

donnerstag

8/29/16 3:46pm

Thanks, I must have missed those. Good to hear, he was very quick at Bingham...

byucougarsbig12

8/29/16 3:49pm

Moses will surprise a lot of people this year the kid is awesome

BYU DUDE 1984

8/29/16 5:13pm

I know, I watched this highlight video when he signed at BYU. (See video)

byucougarsbig12

8/29/16 5:25pm

What does "ST" stand for?

basc-coug

8/29/16 3:45pm

Stud DE. A rush end

southernfriedcougar

8/29/16 3:52pm

Jamaal Williams 6'2" 220.... Kid grew 4 inches and 30 lbs???

imfear2000

8/29/16 4:18pm

Um....he was listed at 6'1" as a freshman not 5'10"

AFcoug7

8/29/16 4:24pm

Yeah, but he's not actually over 6', right?

imfear2000

8/29/16 7:20pm

I stand corrected, he is over 6'. Culpa Mia.

imfear2000

8/29/16 7:57pm

How is Juergens still our best PR option? When will we find someone who teams

Wickchad

8/29/16 6:16pm

KS has said that ball security is the most important thing for a punt returner. Juergens provides ball security.

HarlemCoug

8/29/16 7:41pm

This is why we've had 1 PR TD in 20 years.

Wickchad

8/29/16 9:18pm

He is reliable and has the ability to make guys miss. I think he'll have some
