When Taysom went down, the bad apples got loose. And there wasn't enough leadership last year to fill the void Taysom left. This year looks the same as last year.

I remember the MWC media days in Vegas when Crowton was coach. Every year

Many times bad apples are developed by poor and inconsistent coaching

Seems lots of people agree with you. If you're right, next years defense should

I think the D will be improved but Howell is still on staff

How long has Howell been the DB coach? I'd be curious to see if there's a

none of those "bad apples" ever seem to have names. wonder if it's these guys

what is that in your video hitting the cow?

Pretty sure it's a Rambouillet.

did it kill that cow?

Not sure.

Looks like a billygoat. Nasty and love to head-butt

I remember the Crowton days too. No bad apples then at all.

I'm still not sure where the pass rush is coming from this year.

maybe they should move Bronson to safety and see if it works out

Takitaki and Warner have to step up. It will be on them to get after the QB.

YIsForBrigham

Several Ifs in that response. Hence the cause for concern.

Right. I was reaffirming that there is cause for concern. But there are possible

It seem like the signature Bronco defense has more to do with

This is the big problem that I see needs to get resolved. No pass rush talent...

That's what Bronco is there for.

I guess it may have started a fight, if it made any sense.

What doesn't make sense?

where will this fight be located?

I figured that claiming Howell is not the devil would start a fight. Guess not.

well, i'm ready to go if needed:

Seems like we hear about "bad apples" and lack of "leadership" every year.

especially when 80% of them are RM's and former boy scouts

While true, the biggest problem on the Dline, is the average or below average

12th verse, same as the first, a little bit louder and a little bit worse.

getting players to buy in and have faith in you and respect you is the first

but all those former eagle scouts and RM's at BYU are mean ol' bullies!

Why does Howell require so much mommy-coddling by Bronco?

icecougar

7/17/15 8:25pm

While I agree that is a failing by Howell to motivate the players.

Lance71

7/17/15 8:34pm

most are fresh off of missions, not a lot of coddling going on there

icecougar

And look at that, he is no longer the DC. AND those players are no longer at BYU

icecougar

7/17/15 9:16pm

And who is going to be the player to do it? It can't be coaches alone. If a team

a good coach inspires those players to step up and be his leaders...

and Howell still is the DC, Bronco is just hiding him under his apron to protect

icecougar

I completely agree with you here. He wasn't ready, he needs to learn.

Lance71

He's been silent in the media and wasn't even at BYU's Media Day...

It is quite strange, the whole arrangement.
