If it’s as good as last years we’ll still have a strong defense

Hirkley Latu is undersized (about 240) but is an under the radar guy that will probably have a few sacks from the DE spot

On AFR Fowler said he believes each position group on the team will be better

Hmm. I guess Mudpupper kind of hit a similar topic just below.

We lost Collie at WR... who else? Also I'd say the Takitaki lost drops the LBers

DieHarder

8/12/19 3:06pm

Pau'u. You may be right about the LBers

yahtzee

8/12/19 3:06pm

The loss of one person doesn't necessarily make an entire unit worse.

I think they'll be better with Wilson for 13 games than they were last year.

Turnpike Lane

Maybe it's fairer to just look at the offensive units with Wilson on the field.

100%.

The loss of Holker and Collie is greater than the improvements

& Pau'u? I hope you're right - I just think it's prob about a wash for the WRs.

yahtzee

8/12/19 3:09pm

Other than Holker BYU misses nothing.

Goatnapper'96

8/12/19 3:15pm

Agree on Romney, with one exception.

Adrada will have to beat press coverage. He's small to count on for that.

Lance71

8/12/19 5:41pm

He's no smaller than a hundred other successful receivers out there.

Lip Gallagher

8/12/19 6:22pm

Yes he is. I was talking about success this year though. Unless he has a knack

Lance71

8/12/19 7:08pm

Obviously this year is a challenge. He's a true freshman who played QB.

Lip Gallagher

8/12/19 7:22pm

His profile has him at 5'11" 180 pounds.

LifeLongLakerFan

8/12/19 10:46pm

I might agree except that this year we will be actually throwing

LCcoug

I am struggling to believe LB will be better.

Goatnapper'96

8/12/19 3:09pm

Yeah, Takitaki was a major disruptive force

yahtzee

8/12/19 3:10pm

Yep, if Kaufusi & AhYou are starters it’s going to take time to get coming back

Lip Gallagher

Ok, maybe I’m tired and talking out of my backside

pegushin

WR, DE, S

BGRTHNUMEGO

8/12/19 3:10pm

How will WRs not be better this year than last year?

Rusycoug

Lack of experience and size at LB is a big concern.

DadBod

8/12/19 3:22pm

DE and LB seem like the biggest possibilities.

Zayne Anderson was very good last year when healthy

baldcoug74

8/12/19 10:32pm

Possibly the LBs. Everything else looks better.

Benfica1

8/12/19 3:46pm

DE?

displacedute

8/12/19 4:05pm

DE looks about the same, slightly better.

Benfica1

8/12/19 4:15pm

Without Kaufusi?

displacedute

8/12/19 4:18pm

It will be replaced collectively

puntersarepeople

8/12/19 4:21pm

Devin is way behind what Corbin was last year.

byubyu

8/12/19 4:55pm

Yes but last year it was just Corbin pass rushing

puntersarepeople

8/12/19 4:57pm

But the interior DL should be way ahead. That means a ton to DE success

Lip Gallagher

8/12/19 5:04pm

DE might be worse (probably only slightly) but the D line is definitely better

puntersarepeople

8/12/19 5:43pm

I think this is probably true. I think it will be harder to run on you this year

displacedute

8/12/19 5:48pm

If it’s as good as last years we’ll still have a strong defense

puntersarepeople

8/12/19 6:01pm

Any Utah fan should know that a ton of the success Utah's DEs and pass

Lip Gallagher

8/12/19 6:22pm

More sacks than Anae? Not by my count.

displacedute

8/12/19 6:30pm

They don't teach math up there.

Lip Gallagher

RE: They don't teach math up there.

displacedute

Position groups — the front line will be better.

Benfica1

8/13/19 8:06am

This take doesn’t make sense to me

puntersarepeople

8/12/19 5:47pm

you could be right (hope you are)

yahtzee

8/12/19 7:01pm

LBs and Defensive backfield. We are very thin there.

Archaea

8/12/19 6:05pm

We're deeper than we've been in decades at DB, not thin.

Lip Gallagher

8/12/19 6:23pm

I'm sure he did

jsjohnson1278

8/12/19 6:09pm

Which is why I posed the question

yahtzee

8/12/19 6:36pm

It’s not an outlandish take with the number of starters we return

Problem with Fowler

Adrielle

He said that about 2017 too.
