Is it OK to say that I'm concerned about the offense?

lbmango

I feel just the same, mango! Hopefully we see strong improvement!

Detmer concerns me. He has proven nothing to this point

CougarBuddy

Sure he has. Kinda need the personnel. Detmer can't force his

Lip Gallagher

5/27/17 11:28am

Just saying, if the beef is actually with Detmer, you have to

Lip Gallagher

5/27/17 12:20pm

Agree with everything you said...my concern is defensive emphasis.

cdr88

5/27/17 7:53pm

I thought about hoarding, but I don't think it will be that bad.

Lip Gallagher

5/27/17 9:28pm

Thanks. I'm a little less anxious.

cdr88

5/29/17 5:23pm

For your consideration-- Kavika Fonua switched to offense

BrutustheBrash

5/27/17 10:16pm

Thank you. I need the reassurance. I fear becoming Ewetish.

cdr88

5/29/17 5:26pm

Legit worry. Bronco had unbalanced recruiting. Kalani is recruiting about 6

Coogar2

I think doubters like this deserve a lessor portion of the glory to revel in

Pretorian

5/27/17 11:54am

Yes someone needs to start holding these "doubters" accountable!

PortlandCoug

5/27/17 12:00pm

I'm actually not concerned about the WYO game at all

Jericho

5/27/17 12:21pm

Agreed. Inflexibility and lack of creativity...

tmurphey44

5/27/17 8:43pm

O-Line Size and PBLocking has been and will continue to be a strength

jomo

5/27/17 8:59pm

I disagree

tmurphey44

5/28/17 7:16am

Fine, disagree, but you're wrong

jomo

5/28/17 10:17am

Look at the data...

tmurphey44

5/28/17 10:43pm

There aren't that many Wisconsins and LSUs... and we aren't trying to be

jomo

5/28/17 11:11pm

That's because it hasn't been a huge focus

BrutustheBrash

5/28/17 10:17am

Exactly right...

jomo

5/28/17 10:34am

I agree that the passing game wasn't very good

BrutustheBrash

5/28/17 10:48am

The receivers *did* have issues, but you're right, Taysom was the main problem

BrutustheBrash

5/30/17 11:38am

This is a stupid comment

hammergm

5/27/17 11:58am

I think it's a fair concern

PortlandCoug

5/27/17 12:03pm

No, it's ignorant to think Taysom got worse

Jericho

5/27/17 12:23pm

I love Taysom Hill

hammergm

5/27/17 1:39pm

Hill was much better under Anae

coolblue

5/28/17 7:43am

Did you want Hill hurt in the first, second, or third game?

bigjohn

5/27/17 4:32pm

Oh man.

cougarmanguy

5/27/17 5:10pm

Your comment is stupider

marklar39

5/28/17 11:26am

Detmer didn't have a QB to work with.

Y4LYFE

5/27/17 12:28pm

If only he had a senior qb who was previously in heisman conversation . . .

viper

5/27/17 2:32pm

And fighting for an NFL roster spot.

RSLCoug

5/27/17 2:44pm

Heaps is also fighting for a roster spot.

Y4LYFE

5/27/17 3:36pm

2013 is not 2016

Y4LYFE

5/27/17 3:36pm

So you are saying that he got a lot worse? was it the injury, or the offense?

viper

5/27/17 4:36pm

He had the same two quarterbacks that Anae did, only more mature.

coolblue

5/28/17 7:45am

He proved he could replicate the results of an OC with 10 more years OC experience than he had

Excellent point. TDs football IQ is best we'll ever see. More time is needed

You're crazy... Detmer is the real deal (or "ril dil" if you're from Utah)

jomo

5/27/17 8:04pm

I am sorry, but you must not have seen what was happening on the field. Detmer

PhilPete

5/30/17 9:59am

Yeah, and the offense only really worked when he tweaked it to work for Taysom

Jericho

5/30/17 11:04am

How did Virginias Offense do this last year

Y2k

5/30/17 11:31am

But Ty couldn't sacrifice the development of the whole offense just to fit

Hoss Bonaventure

5/30/17 12:25pm

His offense wasn't much different from Anae in '13 or Doman in '11 ...

icecougar

5/30/17 8:29pm

It feels like we haven't had a really good offense in 8 years.

SuperTank

5/27/17 11:02am

I don't disagree, however...

lbmango

5/27/17 11:04am

The D lost us plenty of games such as in 2014

Jericho

5/27/17 12:28pm

It might feel that way, but 2013 had almost 1000 more yards than the 2009

crack

5/30/17 9:03am

I think the offensive line will be good. Everything starts up front, Right?

BYUALWAYSNUM1

5/27/17 11:02am

I am cautiously optimistic - Wait and see at this point

Dr T-bone

5/27/17 11:18am

Sure, until you listed losing Hill as a huge loss.

Lip Gallagher

5/27/17 11:19am

I hope you're right. I'll rely on your faith for now.

lbmango

5/27/17 11:31am

Really though, what would naturally take a step back?

Lip Gallagher

A good and experienced OL can cover a multitude of sins. I'm rather optimistic

Y4LYFE

5/27/17 12:27pm

I feel the same way, there are some concerns.

Byu_1988

5/27/17 12:47pm

JWill was a huge security blanket (and frankly Taysom's scrambling abilities)..

Machiavelli

5/27/17 1:00pm

This is primarily what I meant when I said we'll miss Taysom

lbmango

5/27/17 1:33pm

This is understated, I think.

Byu_1988

5/27/17 1:47pm

Mangum showed that ability very well as a freshman.

Lip Gallagher

5/27/17 2:42pm

This is a good point..Mangum is actually pretty good at scrambling too

Machiavelli

5/27/17 6:00pm

The latter of which is overrated.

Lip Gallagher

It's still not true how many times people say this. We had several sessions of

I have a feeling tanner is going to be a punching bag this year.

conetah

5/27/17 1:28pm

I think the offense will be great in game 1

TheDeek

5/27/17 1:44pm

I hope the offense against PSU is very vanilla

lbmango

5/27/17 1:59pm

Vanilla, but firing on all cylinders

viper

5/27/17 2:36pm

You could write a book about this exact thing since 2009.

Gerald-DeGroot

5/28/17 3:28am

Many people don't realize that only part of Detmer's offense was implemented

RebelScum

5/27/17 1:46pm

Can someone explain to me why Detmer's offense would only be partially implement

Machiavelli

5/27/17 1:50pm

There are a couple of dynamics to this. The first is implementing a new offense.

RebelScum

5/27/17 2:04pm

My primary concern with this theory is that there was no progression

StalwartBraveTrue

5/31/17 1:53am

It was all about the QB and % success....

jomo

5/31/17 2:25am

Great point. Here's hoping Tanner can be up to speed enough to make it work

StalwartBraveTrue

5/31/17 8:19am

ONe word: personnel

PhilPete

5/30/17 10:02am

Bull! With that, I hope Detmer matures into his roll.

coolblue

5/28/17 7:48am

There will come a time when Detmer, or someone else associated with the offense,

RebelScum

5/28/17 9:36am

I am too. Tanner needs to show he is an under center, pocket QB and can pick teams apart with reads.

Turnpike Lane

5/27/17 1:57pm

I'm optimistic (like others) that Tanner will be fine. But I agree that he

dilbert

5/27/17 6:39pm

Your concern is natural -- but I wouldn't worry too much

BrutustheBrash

5/27/17 2:18pm

I'm not real confident to tell you the truth - a lot of question marks

BYUfan92

Legit concerns

zerome4sooners

No. Southernfried will tell you how stupid you are.

Way to contribute some actual sports talk, like usual.

Lip Gallagher

5/27/17 4:08pm

I hope our offense isn't turning into Utah's. Sitake has brought an awesome

doups3

5/27/17 4:04pm

We had yards and points...but I'll trade it for wins

hammergm

5/27/17 4:37pm

Yes. We should be.

Gerald-DeGroot

5/27/17 5:19pm

Why do you have a hard time seeing it happen?

Seasider

5/27/17 7:05pm

I don't think there's anything wrong with being concerned while holding out hope that it will work out.

Agree with all of that

Detmer's O put BYU in a position to win every game but players dropped the ball

Two key factors that should help the offense, 1) BYU has 4
