Pretorian All-American

Record overall with some big wins is a logical defense of BM...

I agree that I prefer the more current model for the OL but BM saved the program if anything

Any one else get giddy each time we add to our OL?

Good post, and I 100% agree.

Dakota Cougar

7/17/19 10:16am

Same with the DL. It is the recipe for us to be competetive IMO

fulano

7/17/19 10:17am

Agreed

CougaRR4L

7/17/19 10:20am

Well said. O-Line and D-Line was really neglected under Bronco's last few years

Richbyu

7/17/19 10:22am

Yet for all this supposed neglect Bronco had no problem putting up 8 and 9 wins

BeardedSpock

7/17/19 6:03pm

fill your schedule with a lot of San Jose St, Idaho, Idaho St, NMSU, UConn, etc

icecougar

7/17/19 6:42pm

We lost to San Jose state. 🥺

PessimisticCB

7/17/19 6:54pm

And lost to UMass (at home) under Kalani. Neither is/was immune from an occasional terrible loss.

SingleStrapBackpack

7/17/19 7:00pm

KS’s sample size too small to say that

Pretorian

7/18/19 7:05am

it's too small to say how BIG of a problem it'll be for him, but it's definitely large enough to see a few bad losses

SingleStrapBackpack

7/18/19 11:48am

Yes. The San Jose State team that ended the season 11-2 and ranked #21

BeardedSpock

7/17/19 7:33pm

You do realize we still play a lot of those same teams, right?

BeardedSpock

7/17/19 7:35pm

Yeah. He got out just as the cupboards were about to be empty

Richbyu

7/17/19 9:46pm

I know it makes you feel good to think that, but it's not anywhere close to true

BeardedSpock

7/18/19 9:08pm

You’re totally right about Bronco, but not about KS, sample size too small and

Pretorian

7/19/19 6:36am

Here are the facts. I repeat. Bronco failed the OLine big time, before he left

Richbyu

7/19/19 11:06am

You’re missing the most important fact....

Pretorian

7/19/19 1:08pm

O-Line depth issues all came home to roost right about the time Sitake was hired

Richbyu

7/19/19 1:50pm

The bigger problem was strategic on O-line recruiting/training. They wanted

TailgateU

Grimes is such a good coach. Quality recruits know that about him.

Division Bell

7/17/19 10:17am

I am so glad he has so much experience as OL coach.

ChiCityCoug

7/17/19 10:20am

Mo is an excellent lineman too.

cougarmanguy

7/17/19 10:19am

when was Gentry supposed to announce his commitment again?

Mayor of Cougartown

7/17/19 10:21am

He likely won't commit until January/February now

donnerstag

7/17/19 10:29am

so ND has fallen off the list then.

Mayor of Cougartown

7/17/19 10:31am

ND wasn't in his top 4 in his last interview

donnerstag

7/17/19 10:41am

Yes. Bronco's poor recruiting of the O-Line killed our program for a few years.

Richbyu

7/17/19 10:21am

Makes me wonder how much of that was on Weber though

ManicBlue

7/17/19 1:21pm

It was on Bronco.

No touching

7/17/19 4:15pm

Sure, but things did start to improve after 2J came along. Not enough, but

dilbert

7/17/19 4:44pm

2J recruited De'Ondre Wesley, BYU's first NFL OL since the previous decade

icecougar

7/17/19 6:31pm

2J had to get transfers from SUU, our OLine was so depleted.

Richbyu

7/17/19 9:47pm

So winning 10, 8, 8, 8, 9, and 9 games a season is now "killing a program"?

BeardedSpock

7/17/19 6:05pm

Try and at least use logic.

Richbyu

7/17/19 9:49pm

I thought a G5 conference was where BYU should be? Now I’m hearing

Blue2thebone

7/17/19 10:19pm

I don’t follow your logic bro, making the statement that Bronco had a very good

Pretorian

7/18/19 7:08am

Amen, Amen, Amen. Games are won and lost in the trenches. (And QB play)

CObluezone

7/17/19 10:25am

And CB play. And linebackers. And...

TailgateU

7/17/19 11:27am

If your Dline can get pressure, you don't need great CB. (Only serviceable ones)

CObluezone

7/17/19 11:37am

YES! the game is won or lost in the trenches!

Iki_Balam

7/17/19 10:37am

Its really exciting and encouraging that we will soon most likely have our first

Rise Against

7/17/19 10:42am

Are you sure Utah has only had 6 DL drafted in the past 14 years? That seems WAY low to me.

SingleStrapBackpack

7/17/19 12:33pm

My thoughts exactly

Pretorian

7/17/19 1:31pm

Feel free to go count them

Rise Against

7/17/19 1:39pm

Nah, I don't care nearly enough to spend time looking it up. Just seems like way more than that 🙂

SingleStrapBackpack

7/17/19 2:10pm

Aren't you at least missing Nate Orchard? Wasn't he a pretty high pick?

SingleStrapBackpack

7/17/19 2:12pm

He was drafted as a linebacker

Rise Against

7/17/19 2:27pm

C'mon, man. He played DL for Utah. He was listed as a DE in the combine. And he currently plays DE in the NFL.

SingleStrapBackpack

7/17/19 2:41pm

Fine, add him if it means that much to you.

Rise Against

7/17/19 2:49pm

Reading your post, one gets the impression BYU was putting up losing seasons

BeardedSpock

7/17/19 6:09pm

I think about the 2pt try in the 2016 Utah game. One of our OL's whiffed...

icecougar

7/17/19 6:49pm

I have actually been watching a lot of games lately. I watched

PessimisticCB

7/17/19 10:50am

Watched 83 UCLA. Our o line was won that game.

cdr88

7/17/19 11:08am

Like 1983?

PessimisticCB

7/17/19 11:12am

Hhhwhat!!!!! Is that optimism from mr pessimisticCB, that makes me 😁

Pretorian

7/17/19 1:32pm

Oh stop, I give optimism all around. I swear I am the only

PessimisticCB

7/17/19 3:29pm

I like Kalani and the staff.

Benfica1

7/17/19 5:15pm

Me too 👍🏼

Pretorian

7/17/19 5:33pm

You two are my best friends now

PessimisticCB

7/17/19 5:34pm

Sounds good, I knew you couldn’t be that pessimistic

Pretorian

7/17/19 5:36pm

Or could I?

PessimisticCB

7/17/19 5:49pm

Giddy? No. But, very pleased.

Benfica1

7/17/19 11:49am

So important.
