Didn't Kalani when he was hired start out trying to turn us into a 4-3? One thing Bronco did well is with LBers. So is it we couldn't recruit well consistently at DL? LBer quality has gone down significantly since Bronco.

Does Tuiaki have a phobia of blitzing or rushing more than 3 guys?

You saw what happened when he did, right?

Yes. They scored a touchdown on a long gain play.

I’d add sloppy elementary plays. Ones a coach can’t teach, but are instincts.

Which is still Tuiakis fault. If a single blitz means TD, he's doing little to no coaching.

Obvious they never practice blitzing and how to cover the receivers

Yup never. All they do in DB work is footwork drills . . . SMH

I really miss Broncos defenses is at this point!

How did UW do when Tuiaki dropped 8?

Pony Zale

9/22/19 9:51am

I’m guessing that’s when they ran for 8-10 yards.

Yep. My point is at least give qb something to think about

Pony Zale

Bingo

Backcountry

Yep - I saw us badly telegraph a blitz and a smart, good qb make the right play

Didn't Washington score immediately when we did blitz?

byukarl

9/22/19 9:24am

Yeah because we showed the blitz for about 20 seconds before the play. He's just in over his head.

Grit for Brains

UW audibled and I thought there’s no way we still all out blitz. But we did.

maxpowers

Yep. CB knows better.

Backcountry

9/22/19 11:02am

He just doesnt know how to effectively. Rather than learn he just avoids it.

rad dawg

9/22/19 9:25am

UGH.... he blitzed a fair amount, got burned for a TD... he played several different fronts... didn't work

Coug

I agree with this completely, but because of the lack of talent you have to disguise, confuse and blitz early and often

2FarGone

9/22/19 9:34am

We can't get the basic fundamental of tackling down... you want to get them to disguise a blitz?

Coug

9/22/19 9:52am

Yes, coaches should be able to teach that

2FarGone

9/22/19 9:55am

So if the coaches can’t teach tackling or anything beyond a basic scheme, why

Our DBs are a Hodge podge of youth and injury. The LBs are there to help out. You saw how quick Washington scored when

monkeycowboy

I’ve come to the conclusion that Tuiaki is very very limited in actual Defensive

Coming in as head coach, I was hoping KS would
