Turnpike Lane Monday Morning Quarterback

Need more players outside. So a 3-4 works here. Then try to get them in down and distance situations where you can pressure. To me, that will be the key. If they don't pressure on those downs, they suck. But rush 3 in early downs is fine by me.

Tuiaki basically admits he's going to rush three against Troy. Defends it by

Dumb Tuiaki. Defending his bad decisions even before the game starts.

Chances are Troy has studied Tuiaki. Doesn't Pugh work at Troy?

Yes Pugh has

Rushing 3 hasn't been the problem with Tuiaki in the past. It has been rushing 3 every single down. Nobody's sweating

At this point I think he’s trolling everyone

We thought that in 2019, but nope.

They play kinda like USC and that worked well

It worked well until later teams figured out what BYU was doing.

Um, many of the issues later in the season were offense related....

Do you need me to bring up the offensive struggles that lead to actual losses?

It works AS LONG AS the other team refuses to just take the 4 yard run that has

At least bring a blitz on third downs

Or obvious passing downs.

He's right tho

It worked once! Once.

Teams like Troy who run tempo make it tougher on the defense to mix things up. That's one of the reasons why

Indy Coug

Another reason to play a 4-3 or 5-2 line w/ hard press on the WRs.

If Tuiaki is back in charge of the D, BYU will lose

Hinta

9/25/20 1:18pm

So when is Tuiaki in charge and not in charge? How do you determine which is which?

Indy Coug

9/25/20 1:20pm

When BYU rushes 3 on an obvious passing down, Tuiaki is calling the D.

The W-L record. Determined after the fact, of course.

If in doubt, drop 8 - seems like a reasonable defensive strategy 🙁

B Blue

9/25/20 1:26pm

There are times and teams where drop 8 works. Maybe this is one of those times.

Yeah, Tuiaki has figured out what no other coach in history has. What are the

I hope Tuiaki is planning this....

Let’s see if we have the horses to pull it off.

The reasoning is sound, but they have to throw blitzes in and disguise them.

I’m telling you, the best defenses I’ve seen seem to always have a blitz

That’s also because the best defenses have the best players which allows them to

Blitzing needs db's that can disrupt the timing as well. Pressing man coverage

Good. It has worked against Trojans in the past.

Fair point about what he said to the media before Navy

Hmmm - let's ask ourselves....why does Troy throw it short & get it out quick?
