Look, if you just play good run defense the entire time without EVER worrying
about a single potential pass attempt, that's just terrible defense. No good FBS team would ever do that.

The reason for BYU's failure is very simple: The players aren't very good

this is true but I still believe there are more problems than just talent alone

Well said.

This argument is also baloney.

Our players aren't good?

Agreed, but that's more the recruiting side of things

The Nevada and Utah State defensive lines are better than BYU's. Yes.
TSH_Rapid_Resp_Team

Then that's also a coaching problem, b/c that should never be the case.

Rowley - 4 star recruit. Bronson should be on the line.
pittsburghcoug
10/19/14 11:17pm
Rowley was recruited to play O line and it shows.
TSH_Rapid_Resp_Team
10/19/14 11:17pm
he was recruited and listed at both. DL for BYU.
southernfriedcougar
10/19/14 11:27pm
Bronson seems injured or something, because he's even slower than Rowley
TSH_Rapid_Resp_Team
10/19/14 11:18pm
Maybe so, but it's not due to lack of talent. That's the hole in your analysis.

Exactly. Not only that, but if our players were no better or worse than

I said clearly in my post that the coaches are to blame for recruiting

You're right, you did. My bad.

How do you explain Ziggy?
TSH_Rapid_Resp_Team
10/19/14 11:16pm
Ziggy is a freak of nature, and he only made it on the field
pittsburghcoug

If you're questioning Bronco's personnel decision, I agree with you.

Your constant Ziggy reference shows you haven't been around sports much.

Is doesn't matter how talented you are.

Ziggy was and is a freak. You still don't get it. Athletes like Ziggy are rare

Bronco didn't recruit Ziggy.
So it goes...
10/19/14 11:57pm
That's the worst example you could use to support your argument.
Real Men Wear Blue
10/20/14 9:19am
How do you explain how a team has Ziggy and KVN but still puts up mediocre
mr_thekid
10/21/14 6:41pm
You think stars and recruiting rankings really matter in this case?
jhingman
10/19/14 11:21pm
Bronco's defense was #3 because he had two stellar players.
pittsburghcoug
10/19/14 11:25pm
You're making my point for me, but you may not know it
jhingman
10/19/14 11:33pm
Not true.

10/19/14 11:41pm
I see your argument, but I don't think there's enough evidence to support it

10/19/14 11:58pm
Yeah I mean they have had 2 players drafted in the last 4 drafts. Nobody

I call baloney. Who were the 5 4 star defensive players.

He's probably including guys like Langi and Harvey Jackson.

Actually six, but who's counting. Could be eight if Bills and Fu'a were healthy
pittsburghcoug

Yep! This is the problem. Our coaches stink at coaching up/developing players.

The only problem with this argument is that our "not very good" players got us

I think we have an FCS d line.

LOL opposing teams have a 2.85 YPC rushing average. I'd hate to see D1
Blugar
10/19/14 11:29pm
But no pass rush
Cosmo Kramer
10/19/14 11:31pm
That's understandable considering how poor the teams we have played are at

I seem to recall a lot of our pass rushers and cover guys going down.

Coaches can make calls that don't expose player weaknesses

Bogus. They aren't NFL guys, but they are better than the crap USU and Reno

10/19/14 11:17pm
They may be bigger, but they sure as heck aren't faster.
TSH_Rapid_Resp_Team
10/19/14 11:19pm
Is our lack of speed why our 5th string RB averaged 12 yards/carry?
Blugar
10/19/14 11:22pm
I'm talking about D line. I think we have excellent talent at RB,
TSH_Rapid_Resp_Team
10/19/14 11:24pm
3-4 is supposed to have "heavy" DL. LBs should have the speed.
Blugar
10/19/14 11:25pm
We have the worst linebacking group since before Lavell.

Totally agree with you on stout and Pikula painfully slow
