i think the hate for the d is less about overall performance

It is about being average to below average for the past 6 years other than the Covid year

It also helps when you want to ignore game specific performances that were good/

Does a couple of good games make up for overall mediocrity? It doesn't for me.

kimdaddy35

That makes it worse. Means he's mediocre and inconsistent

That's like saying batting 0.100 great, let alone acceptable. I don't think so.

Define below average. Because they've been just above average the last 6 seasons

FWIW we are currently 37th in total defense with our front loaded schedule.

Front loaded schedule playing 2 of the worst teams in FBS? Also, how did our defense do against the

37th in what? Even Tuiaki apologists go to stat of ppg had us at 68. FEI has us at 60. PPD has us at 73

kimdaddy35

He's looking at the Total Defense stat only. Fails to mention we're 80th in Scoring Defense though. smh

I would say mediocre.

kimdaddy35

9/27/22 4:09pm

The offense is good, not great.

Archaea

9/27/22 4:30pm

I guess you haven't seen the advanced stats. The offense has been unreal. If the offense performed at the same level

kimdaddy35

Kinda sucked against Oregon.

Well it's not, so there's that.

Bluedarts

Better tell all of the statistical metrics that is the case. Because they don't agree with you.

Some of us think the current talent is an indictment to the coaches who have

Not sure that is accurate.

Tuiaki has been responsible for the DL for years. He has to have some

He's a coach and the DC, he certainly has a responsibility there, or he really

9/27/22 6:02pm

We don’t know who is responsible for

Archaea

9/27/22 6:51pm

So the DL/DC has no responsibility for any of the DL recruiting... Sure...

cougaman

9/27/22 7:06pm

No responsibility? Do you binary much?

So what he's been responsible for has been good, he's not responsible for the

In 2021 it was bad. This year is average. Most years average. 2016 was fun.

Turnpike Lane

9/27/22 4:30pm

The D suffered an inordinate number of injuries.

Archaea

9/27/22 4:33pm

Lol it’s the same excuse every year. Time to face the reality that the DC is not

kotacoug

9/27/22 4:52pm

All advanced metrics show the D is not good.

All the defensive players are injured because they play 3/4 of the minutes.

Can we have a separate category for Tuiaki or defense complaints?
