Greg tweeting out some concerning defensive stats this morning.

che flaco

9/9/19 9:20am

They don't have OLB that know how to keep contain and set the edge.

slowhiteguy

9/9/19 9:25am

Nor have they taught the DL how to slice in. Their technique has been bad

rad dawg

9/9/19 9:31am

Yeah they can't get off blocks...it's pretty bad.

9/9/19 11:10am

Seems that Mahe was able to slice in a couple of times last night. It was such

PKCoug

9/9/19 12:47pm

Been really bad on the edge against both Tenn and Utah

Big Wally D

9/9/19 2:22pm

Holy smokes that's pretty bad. Presumably the schedule easing up will help...

DraperCoug22

9/9/19 9:26am

That is still six games away

BYU Fan

9/9/19 9:29am

Sure. I'm mostly referring to Liberty, Idaho State, and UMass. They'll help.

One 3 & out is terrible

DieHarder

9/9/19 9:27am

Ouch..... can’t put lipstick on that pig.

kotacoug

9/9/19 9:27am

Where did they rank in 3 and outs the first 3 years?

cougaman

9/9/19 9:28am

And everyone thought recruiting DL’s would be Sitake’s strength

But... but... defense isn't the problem!

rad dawg

9/9/19 9:30am

Haha. It absolutely isn’t.

Pelican

9/9/19 9:35am

Between the offense and defense, the defense isn't losing us games.

9/9/19 9:39am

Admittedly they have come up with big stops in the RZ

rad dawg

9/9/19 9:50am

Something will change. It’s called Utah and Tennessee dominated us in the lines.

Pelican

9/9/19 10:04am

if looking at those specific stats objectively, you couldn’t conclude anything

D.T. Survivor

9/9/19 11:15am

Defense has played well enough to beat Tennessee and hang in with Utah

puntersarepeople

9/9/19 11:55am

That stat will revert to the mean as the schedule goes on.

RdF3

9/9/19 9:30am

They also played Eric Gray and Zach Moss

Alpi Gusto

9/9/19 9:36am

We played against some pretty special runners last year and held up much better.

che flaco

9/9/19 9:46am

We're also looking at an entire season vs. two games against incredible RB's

Alpi Gusto

9/9/19 12:01pm

Blah blah blah, just win the game!

bluebrotha

9/9/19 10:18am

Tough to win games if you don't know what your weakness is.

BleedCougarBlue2

9/9/19 12:40pm

Blah blah.

bluebrotha

9/9/19 1:42pm

It’s clear nobody has yet to fill the voids of Corbin Kaufusi and Takitaki.

bigbossbyu

9/9/19 11:13am

Yep, this defensive line and linebackers have been as I expected

boctabulous

9/9/19 11:19am

These stats are meaningless

puntersarepeople

9/9/19 11:57am

1 forced three-and-out in two games is not meaningless.

scootsy

9/9/19 3:51pm

I wouldn’t say the 3 and out stat is meaningless.

doups3

9/9/19 4:20pm

True, but the comparison nationwide is

puntersarepeople

9/9/19 4:21pm

When you play a “bend don’t break” type D, you don’t get many 3 and outs.

Traveshamockery

9/9/19 12:16pm

Hate "bend but don't break". My mantra would be "destroy everyone, always!"

BleedCougarBlue2

9/9/19 12:41pm

2 games- one ranked 15th and another is SEC. What hapens when they

monsterdave

9/9/19 12:37pm

This is my biggest concern. Bend don't break would not bother if the D could

PKCoug

9/9/19 12:50pm

Hope things improve, but I think most teams start off with easier opponents.

Benfica1

9/9/19 12:57pm

The tackling has not looked too great to me. Opponents RB's seem to be getting

deljdc

9/9/19 1:50pm

I've noticed this as well. It surprises me how many times RBs bounce and bounce

PKCoug

9/9/19 2:02pm

Yes I’ve seen some great open field tackles and they aren’t all Dayan

D.T. Survivor

9/9/19 2:39pm

Zayne will change that

puntersarepeople

9/9/19 4:23pm

is Zayne back with the safeties again?

PKCoug

9/9/19 6:03pm

Yes

puntersarepeople

9/9/19 6:08pm

I thought that’s what I saw. Thanks for confirming.

PKCoug

9/9/19 6:17pm

The D has allowed 16 offensive points in 2 games in regulation.

marticorp

9/9/19 1:56pm

This is a little misleading as Utah would have obviously scored at the end

PKCoug

9/9/19 2:04pm

I can't disagree. I think the offenses over the next two weeks will be much

marticorp

9/9/19 2:11pm

Offense needs the ball. I do agree with you for the most part.

doups3

9/9/19 4:22pm

Moss will do that to ya

Croweater

9/9/19 2:20pm

Concerning, BUT

ringfro

9/9/19 3:57pm

Eh! Look at who we played and who everyone else is

mellomike

9/9/19 3:58pm

Even so, 128th is really really bad. That’s 3rd to last.

che flaco

9/9/19 6:09pm

I was told only points matter over and over again on Sat

BYU '80

9/9/19 5:16pm

Yeah, ultimately only points matter.

Benfica1

9/9/19 5:18pm

So basically USC is going to run on us like everyone else has. Okay, cool.

Big McLargeHuge

9/9/19 5:39pm

i think the defense has been ok. I don't have much statistics to back me up. But
