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

He easily played 50 snaps

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

BYUfan92

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

Sorry, I wasn't calling you out per se. Even I was surprised to some degree that

Except he did.

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

Charles Darwin

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

I think Lo will be able to handle SDE and

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

ldssdl

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.

1/17/22 1:00pm

Wilgar struggled at times last year

1/17/22 1:05pm

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.

mokelembembe

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?

ldssdl

1/17/22 12:42pm

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

fan32

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

I'm pretty sure until the back half that Malik Moore was our highest rated

PFF grades

Turnpike Lane

1/17/22 1:07pm

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

travelcoug

1/17/22 1:20pm

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

Well let’s see, when Pili was in The best most physical teams on our schedule

Arizona lost to an FCS school and went 1-11, so holding them to 2.3 ypc on 35

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

If you adjust the rushing yards by removing sacks and kneel downs —

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....

mokelembembe

1/17/22 1:14pm

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

Suspect rating system, no doubt.

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