he wasn't on the list after all the pumping up of Pili that was done by Tuiaki defenders this whole season.

Only 1 of top 10 rated returners from the D, interesting it isn’t Pili or Wilgar

I thought so too - but if so then shocked he isn’t rated highly

It's only shocking to people desperate to excuse Tuiaki. Pili is a nice player,

You can check my history- I’m pretty anti Tuiaki, but thought Pili would have

No DL even close to sniffing that list is a huge problem. OL is legit. DL is the opposite of it.

I think we will be ok on the ends but I hope we bring in some interior lineman

What makes you think we’ll be okay at end?

Ya. Interesting the 3rd string OT made the list and no one from DL

Pili wasn't that highly rated according to PFF. But that doesn't change the fact that he was probably our most

Is Pili a future Pro-Bowler? I doubt even Fed Warner would swing a defense from

1/17/22 12:45pm

The truth is the defense was bad even with Pili but got bailed out by turnovers

Charles Darwin

1/17/22 12:49pm

Probably not, but a huge part of the drop off was because no one else on our team could play that position.

Wilgar struggled at times last year

He was much better before they put him in Pili's position

Yeah, Pili took a huge hit because of coverage. Run stopping and pass rushing were pretty high.

And Run stopping and pass rushing were what we sucked at last year.

So at what point are we allowed to criticize recruiting and player development?

Tuiaki is bad. You know he is really bad when so many are trying to find obscure ways of saying he

kimdaddy35

1/17/22 12:45pm

Likely 10;) He gets a couple of Big12 years to prove what we already know.

Appears Tuiaki can’t recruit or coach. But untouchable so get use to it

Tuiaki is amazing. I sure hope Hawaii doesn’t realize how amazing he is and take him.

PFF grades

PFF grades are very incomplete and totally subjective. I guess they do empower

So what metrics will you allow us to use then when analyzing the defense?

So, don't trust a team of unbiased professionals grading out BYU players by PFF?

Running the ball like that, Utah should have blown BYU out. Why didn't they?

Here's what the PFF defensive depth chart would look like....

Some guys who play a lot don't even make the 2-deep in terms of grades

I don't understand why people pay so much credence to PFF? They are extremely overrated.
