That's what "opponent adjusted" means. It accounts for the quality of opponent.

And your point is off in any event. If anything the opposite is true: a defense that shortens the game and allows long drives but few home runs gives you a better shot against better teams, at the risk of letting lesser teams in games they have no business being in.

Does this mean you are willing to concede Tuiaki was good in 2020?

Well... it's hard to NOT be good when you're playing nobodies

but if it was adjusted for opponents its still an equal comparison. . .right?

It is opponent adjusted. That argument won't work here.

1/26/22 9:50am

The argument still works here because as has been pointed out many times

That is just a self-fulfilling prophecy. You set it up so you can’t be wrong and

As long as you’re willing to admit he was bad every other year, sure.

Doesn’t matter how you slice it. The defense underperforms relative to recruiting as compared to what our offense

mulletino

1/26/22 9:56am

Why don't you answer the question? Was Tuiaki's D good in 2020?

1/26/22 10:04am

You already have your answer. What do you care what I think?

mulletino

1/26/22 10:04am

Why don't you answer the question? Was Tuiaki's D good in 2020?

1/26/22 10:06am

Lol. Why are you so bent on me answering your question directly? I’ll just not answer it instead. Sound good?

mulletino

1/26/22 10:09am

Because you went after people who couldn't handle any negative critique of the D

1/26/22 10:12am

Meh. I’ve given credit when it’s due. And I’ve been equally critical of the offense in the past when warranted.

mulletino

1/26/22 10:16am

So give credit where it is due, instead of refusing to acknowledge stats that

1/26/22 10:20am

Nah. It seems to mean too much to you. So l I’ll pass.

mulletino

1/26/22 10:22am

I don't know if Tuiaki is a great Xs and Os coach, but the entire staff has failed to recruit DL. While Tuiaki shares

That’s implied when talking about a defense or defensive coordinator. He’s going to be scapegoated because he’s the one

mulletino

1/26/22 10:08am

Scapegoat is the wrong word and I should have picked something else. What I don't know is why Kalani isn't included

shimmy

1/26/22 10:53am

Sitaki isn't included because of the success of the offense. If he's responsible

ManicBlue

1/26/22 10:56am

Well yeah.

shimmy

1/26/22 10:58am

It might not be just a talent thing. We might have the talent but that talent is

ManicBlue

1/26/22 10:13am

Yep, our defense did amazing against inferior competition. I worry the scheme

viper

1/26/22 10:14am

Again, the quoted stat is adjusted for opponents.

1/26/22 10:15am

I know it does. But again, maybe our defense works great against inferior

viper

1/26/22 11:04am

It's also not super insightful to say a D is good against bad Os but not great O

1/26/22 11:26am

But that is not what I am saying. I will try another angle. Maybe our defense

viper

1/26/22 11:50am

"amazing"? We lost to UAB

letthewookieewin

1/26/22 10:18am

I am talking about last year where we had amazing stats against a super soft SOS
