Haha I try to put things delicately sometimes so as not to trash the team online

I think everyone knows this team is going to be mediocre, its just a question of why. And if Kalani's defense is the reason, I'd hope he would be willing to swallow his pride and ditch the 4-3, much like Bronco did with his beloved 3-3-5 after the 2005 season.

Would Kalani ever abandon "his" defense?

Clinging to a failing system out of sheer stubborness is a terrible thing for

Why? Grimes has a reputable long history of leading competent offenses.

But he's never been an OC before. The Peter Principle might strike here.

Maybe take a /sarcasm from Reddit? My bad. IMG included as an apology.

Apology accepted. It's an easy mistake to make. I wasn't lying when I said that

Bronco going from the 3-3-5 to a 3-4 was one of the best things he did as HC.

displacedute

7/18/18 3:13pm

Funny thing is Bronco is a full on 3-4 guy now he didn't go back to the 3-3-5 at

He also played a 2-5-4 in some different packages. Strange but worked well

Why are you so confident Kalani doesn't get fired after this year?

displacedute

7/18/18 3:08pm

The OL is going to be good enough to run over McNeese, USU, UH, NMS, UMass & NIU

Where's that 7th expected win?

Either UofA or Cal

Normally I'd agree with you. The numbers have me more confident with this group.

9 legitimate starting caliber OLs?

BYU recruited D-Line pretty well before Bronco. CB is a problem though.

Lance71

I think the difference is that 3-4 DL need to eat up blocks

displacedute

7/18/18 3:15pm

For example

displacedute

7/18/18 3:27pm

Excellent point. The required DL skill set is very different for each scheme.

theOnceler

7/18/18 4:36pm

Most of those great BYU DL pre-Bronco became 3-4 DEs in the NFL

CaliWG

7/18/18 3:26pm

Switching defenses again that quickly would be a personnel nightmare

Cashmeousside

7/18/18 3:14pm

Such a myth that BYU can't recruit DL. Where does this come from?

7/18/18 3:21pm

Where is the history of BYU developing NFL caliber 4-3 DEs?

CaliWG

7/18/18 3:28pm

Absolutely nothing about Ziggy is a 3-4 DE. Just because he had to play there

7/18/18 3:46pm

Ziggy is an anomaly, if you can't acknowledge that we can't have a discussion

CaliWG

7/18/18 5:20pm

Hmm, interesting how the discussion did a 180.

7/18/18 8:38pm

Important note: BYU isn't really playing a 4-3 defense

FiveTen-BuckEighty

7/18/18 3:49pm

True, almost nobody uses the old dinosaur 4-3 anymore.

displacedute

7/18/18 3:50pm

WOW....I haven't seen a game yet this yea, but you already know they cant rush

BYURider

7/18/18 4:12pm

Its basically the same personnel as last year

CaliWG

7/18/18 4:25pm

you really think the coaches are satisfied with the status quo?

BYURider

7/18/18 4:50pm

That's why I'm predicting 7 wins this year

CaliWG

7/18/18 5:01pm

Guess I'm more wait and see how the D does against

BYURider

7/18/18 7:44pm

He did last year. Watch his body language

What about a 4-2-5, it is worth looking at

FootFAN

7/18/18 5:51pm

Bronco went away from the 3-3-5 because recruiting good DBs is tough at BYU

CaliWG

7/18/18 5:58pm

Why would you go to fewer linebackers?
