What's the cause of DL problems at BYU?

chodilicus

11/20/19 3:35pm

Climate change.

TriggerWarning

11/20/19 3:36pm

Is there a graph showing that or something?

Utah gets most of the good LDS DL

Huge Manatee

11/20/19 3:36pm

Maybe Utah and BYU should combine forces

Pro Logic

11/20/19 3:43pm

The problem: Every player at BYU could probably survive at Utah. It does not

Amen, even many LDS kids

Wait...Tafua couldn't handle BYU? I've never heard anything but that he elected to transfer to play football at the U.

SingleStrapBackpack

11/20/19 4:11pm

Rumor is he didn’t want to work hard in class

puntersarepeople

11/20/19 7:26pm

If it's just a rumor, I'd prefer not to promulgate that across CB. Doesn't seem like it would do anybody any good.

SingleStrapBackpack

11/20/19 7:51pm

I'm not saying he was booted or even did anything wrong at all

chodilicus

11/21/19 6:07pm

lol Tafua got home and the coaches who recruited him were gone.

Lip Gallagher

11/20/19 5:50pm

If Tooley could get to 265 . . .

puntersarepeople

11/20/19 7:27pm

Wasn't Buck listed at 6'5/6'6?

Lip Gallagher

11/20/19 8:09pm

I'd rather see Tooley at 240-245 and playing OLB in a 3-4 where he can rush

cougaman

11/20/19 10:09pm

My point is that BYU needs speed DEs and they could be 240

chodilicus

11/21/19 6:10pm

Or just go to a 3-4 where these guys can play a more natural position at OLB.

cougaman

11/21/19 6:29pm

True. A 240 pound Tooley would be sweet

puntersarepeople

Not just Utah but the PAC12 has many top Lds DL

Utah isn't doing anything special with their recruiting for DL.

Not true. All starting DL's at U are 3 star recruits. BYU has

I don’t think Tuiaki knows how to coach Ends. The whole DL plays like NTs

JollyGreenGiant

11/20/19 3:37pm

Seemed to coach D lineman ok when he was with the ewets. Must have forgot how?

basman

11/20/19 3:39pm

He only coached the yewt DL 2 years so it's hard to attribute too much to him.

JollyGreenGiant

11/20/19 3:50pm

If that's true, then how much impact does a coach even have?

basman

11/20/19 4:10pm

They have a huge impact

JollyGreenGiant

11/20/19 4:12pm

And they all have one move, bull rush

RenoCoug

Exactly

Also, they all seem to have the cardio endurance of a 70 year old who smokes a carton a day.

Bronco getting in love with slim OL was part of the problem. He needed those guys to run Go Fast Go Hard Go Punt

JollyGreenGiant

Tofa has been plagued by injuries

trom2foot3

11/20/19 4:27pm

Tofa wasn't a D-end recruit. Leiataua just hasn't lived up to the hype.

Backcountry

We don’t have any true rush ends

Correct, but I was responding to a post about "BYU's best D-linemen", not just the best DEs

Lip Gallagher

I forgot about Schoonover and Hanna. Two other potential bodies that could be good at DE.

Scheme and coaching. Here’s a list of our DLine. We have talent.

SlantRoute

11/20/19 3:39pm

Why does everyone think there's a talent gap between Y and U?

Coug Dude

Three star is a wide rating

puntersarepeople

11/20/19 7:37pm

Thats just not true.

Backcountry

11/20/19 8:04pm

Word on the street is pass rush scheme also depends on DB talent/ experience

ZooBlue

11/22/19 7:34am

Narcs - hard to keep anything on the DL

bruincoug

It's the end of the world when you listen to William and Hans.

Scheme.

cougaman

11/20/19 3:40pm

Playing a 3-4 scheme and dropping 8 into coverage on almost every single play

RalphWiggam

11/20/19 3:40pm

Schools with academic limitations generally struggle more with recruiting DLine.

It's not hard to understand.... It's Tuiaki. It is a terrible scheme and use

Cougar TD

11/20/19 3:42pm

Bronco couldn’t recruit DLine either

Josef K

11/20/19 3:45pm

He coached them up, and he used his strength in recruiting LB to pressure the QB

cougaman

11/20/19 3:46pm

But they don't allow as many points as some other schools, and 2-3 games a year

cougaman

11/20/19 3:45pm

several of our best DE recruits have had career ending injuries early on

Cougforgood

11/20/19 3:46pm

Yep, Tuifua and Hinds were devastating losses

SingleStrapBackpack

11/20/19 4:06pm

This staff is in year 4-so isn't that their problem?

chodilicus

11/20/19 4:52pm

They sent their recruits into the mission field

donnerstag

11/20/19 4:56pm

They have Tyler Batty, Cade Albright, and Michael Daley in the pipeline but they're on missions or just recently back

SingleStrapBackpack

Tyler Batty seems like the only potential new player that could make a difference next year, and he hasn't played a down

SingleStrapBackpack

11/20/19 5:15pm

I like Freddy Livai who is redshirting

donnerstag

11/20/19 5:25pm

Is he going to be DT or DE though

cougaman

11/20/19 5:27pm

Not sure, but his film makes him a good DE candidate

donnerstag

11/20/19 5:50pm

I agree, and he has the speed. 4.5 at 250 lbs. I was just under the impression

cougaman

11/20/19 5:54pm

Wait, what? He really ran a 4.5 40 at 250 lb?

SingleStrapBackpack

11/20/19 6:08pm

This was a quote about Livai

Did Lui end up at Boise State or is he elsewhere? Maybe not even playing anymore?

SingleStrapBackpack

Weight?

puntersarepeople

11/20/19 5:21pm

Those look like 4-front DEs to me.

None of these coaches have experience with that scheme at that at this level

Did BYU really not recruit Pita T? I know it's been a while, but that's not at all what I recall of the situation.

He was a BYU commit, so the whole narrative is wrong

It's completely coaching. Most of our DL was heavily recruited.

You think Idaho State has better talent than BYU

stansburycoug

11/20/19 9:57pm

Part of it has to do with the fact that BYU hadn't run a 4-3 defense since 2002.

Utah recruits better at DL than us now compared to Whit's first few seasons.
