Whose job is it to make them better? I agree on the take, though.

A "solid" defensive line that "quietly" does their work isn't exactly high praise nor confidence inspiring.

Coach Tuiaki addresses the media after practice. Says the defense is “a work in progress.. we’ve got to come up with stops and takeaways” View

Tuiaki says the first two groups on BYU’s defensive line have been “solid” thus far. “They’re quietly doing their jobs really well”

Solid = average at best. Worst position group on the team.

Thanks coach, glad you're there on the practice field to gather and share these

“The guys we got back who weren’t healthy last year are playing really well right now” -Tuiaki on the health of the defense.

Tuiaki says the other starting safety position beside Malik Moore is still up for grabs. “Coach Lamb has them battling still”

“We look like a really really good defense when those guys are on the field” -Tuiaki on Keenan Pili, Ben Bywater and Max Tooley

And they didn’t even ration Wilgar, we must be loaded at LB

I thought that's because he was an established starter and they were holding him

“We’ve got 18 guys in camp and we feel really good about 14 of them playing in games. We’ll only travel 10 or 11 of them” -Tuiaki on the defensive line

Tyler Batty addresses the media. He says he thinks Coach Tuiaki has a better mustache than him

Keep focused on getting better. As you have time, Ship the t shirts out.

Batty credited Troy Warner, Isaiah Kaufusi and Khyiris Tonga as the leaders who helped shape his own leadership on the defense

Isaac Rex takes his turn with the media. “We’re having fun.. just good vibes out there”

“They’re all very long and fast.. the secondary is legit. They’re top notch” -Rex on BYU’s secondary

@DUsportsdesk

Rex says he trusts his ankle 80% at the moment. Running and cutting on routes both feel comfortable but jumping is still problematic. “I’m gonna push through it.. my ankle might not be 100% until the bowl game, but there’s a plan and I’m gonna have fun”

@DUsportsdesk

Rex says he’s gotten an off day about once a week during camp, and more if his ankle feels sore

“I don’t know where we’re at and I don’t care. Those things are annoying. Why don’t we just do it after the first game?” -Rex on the AP preseason polls

I was at the practice, he just kept saying to the D-line, "just bullrush better"

here's to hoping

Dumb, but funny

He's right. Stops and takeaways address all the haters' concerns
