Brady Poppinga with some harsh words regarding Luke Staley

Doesn't even list him as a top 5 BYU RB. Says he is easy to neutralize. Says he didn't like football and had to be catered to by Crowton to make him happy. Was too injury prone.

He also said that Cahoon isn't producing tough WR's. Says WR's cost us 2-3 games last year and ultimately puts it on Cahoon.

I guess this was talked about earlier. Oh well, this is for the late in the day crowd.

And the thread about it is here:

He played with him, so he probably knows more about this then

Mathew

I care too much, but you can tell the Poppinga's really care.

He was pretty scathing towards Cahoon on a Criddle Interview last year too IIRC.

I don't think Brady is too concerned with hurting people's feelings. And I can't

shakinbaker

I also admit I am not sold on Cahoon. His group has a lot to prove

Jericho

7/25/17 3:53pm

3,200 passing yards in '11 with nearly a 1,000 WR?

Cahoon was part of the problem with recruiting more than

7/25/17 4:14pm

It's a team game after all....

The one OL in one class was proof enough of their absolute incompetence.

Assistants can make or break a program.

wilsdad

I really, really like the parity of our current group of coaches

mantis mutu

7/26/17 7:25pm

I'm right there with you.

wilsdad

7/26/17 9:19pm

Those numbers are decent. But Cahoon has coached exactly one impactful receiver

shakinbaker

7/25/17 4:15pm

That's just who he is. That is probably what makes him a good analyst

Jericho

7/25/17 3:52pm

Please tell me how he was easy to neutralize.

mudpupper

7/25/17 3:54pm

I can't say what he means personally

Jericho

7/25/17 3:56pm

He was speaking to his opinion that Luke was one-dimensional.

shakinbaker

7/25/17 4:02pm

Also, I got a hint of "axe to grind" with Brady's comments so he just might

Finally you've stumbled onto it.

So BYU was 12-0 before the Staley injury and 0-2 after it? And Poppinga says

Man I love early 2000's BYU highlights

7/25/17 4:05pm

Was astounded I couldn't find a quality highlight reel of Staley. What a shame.

Cougarfan777

7/25/17 4:06pm

Here's a 2001 highlight reel.

Uh, Brady played how many years in the NFL and gets paid as an analyst/radio guy

gmj81

7/25/17 4:08pm

Facts don't lie.

TheLoneCougar

7/25/17 4:09pm

And what exactly are the facts to which you refer?

RE: And what exactly are the facts to which you refer?

TheLoneCougar

7/25/17 4:14pm

Looked like all opinion to me. Brady laid out facts laced with probably some

gmj81

7/25/17 4:18pm

12-0 then 0-2, eye ball test, Doak Walker voters, 10+yards per rush, etc.

TheLoneCougar

7/25/17 4:21pm

You can choose another RB to be your greatest ever without stomping on Staley...

Cougarfan777

7/25/17 4:27pm

That's not fact. Luke ran between tackles a LOT. He did not go down easy in

mantis mutu

7/25/17 5:29pm

To you anonymous laughers -- Staley got upfield in a hurry largely because of

mantis mutu

7/25/17 5:42pm

Staley's numbers in '99 and '00 are dramatically different than

7/25/17 5:45pm

Staley always had a knack for the end zone though.

SpiffCoug

7/25/17 10:25pm

In his earlier years he was never fully healthy.

StalwartBraveTrue

I agree w a lot of this--except I remember full well Staley as a Frosh & Soph &

mantis mutu

Well BYU did beat New Mexico without Staley that year

Not very fast, was he? 😏

Brigham

I for one am a better fan because of Luke Staley

Heath Squashwell

7/25/17 5:13pm

I think he was overly harsh but I tend to agree with Poppinga

7/25/17 5:14pm

Been watching since early 80's and Staley is the bestI have seen

bluelands

7/25/17 9:58pm

"He'd tap out" - averaged 20+ touches a game in 2001.

I guess it's interesting to attempt a nuanced view or something...

The most laughable part is that GC "catered" to Luke "to keep him happy"
