Thug Mormons Walk-on

Tanner didn't get them, and when you combine that with lack of time on the field it's easy to understand why he didn't look as fluid last year. He'll be fine.

The loss of Williams will hurt, but Squally and Co. should do well.

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

lbmango

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

Fervent Cougar

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

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

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

I am cautiously optimistic - Wait and see at this point

Dr T-bone

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.

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

I feel the same way, there are some concerns.

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

The latter of which is overrated.

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

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

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

PhilPete

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.

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

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

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

Legit concerns

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

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.

There should be concern, but in today's football you don't get 4-5 seasons

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

Jamaal is a loss but Taysom...addition by subtraction?
