BYU '80 Intervention Needed

So the defense that is near the bottom of cfb in blitz % is objectively

Aggressive? The team that plays linebackers seven yards off the line of scrimmage on nearly every play is aggressive and the team that plays a deep safety even against teams that can’t pass is aggressive?

The statements above must all be false though because you said so

The Myth of the Three Man Front

9/27/22 6:53pm

Now tell us how many times more than 4 guys rush?

RdF3

9/27/22 6:54pm

That's not the issue at hand. You may want to blitz more, that's a fair critique

Hotlanta

9/27/22 6:56pm

It happens a lot actually. I started documenting it bc of lazy posts like this.

Tell me you havent watched the games without telling me you havent watched...

Follow the link. We put 4 or more people on the line in all but 3 snaps

Hotlanta

9/27/22 6:57pm

Putting four on the line doesn’t make a defense aggressive. You realize that?

BYU '80

9/27/22 9:55pm

No but it makes most of CB wrong about their critique of Tuiaki

YOHONOMOTO

9/27/22 10:49pm

You must not even read (or comprehend) what the criticisms of Tuiaki are.

ManicBlue

9/27/22 10:54pm

Should I make a compilation of posts complaining about drop 8?

YOHONOMOTO

9/27/22 10:57pm

Go ahead. Try reading the many others that go more in depth.

ManicBlue

9/27/22 11:04pm

And how many times did the fourth guy down immediately stand up and back up?

Phreddy

9/28/22 12:22am

We had 4 on the line vs WY but then only 2 LBs with 5 in coverage...

FMOCIE

Your first point is correct but second is not.

9/27/22 7:00pm

No one claims that we only rush three, we do it a lot, and if you don't see that

RenoCoug

9/27/22 7:03pm

How often is "a lot"? 75% of plays? 50%?

HarlemCoug

9/27/22 7:06pm

Re-watch the Oregon game. That would be my definition of a lot.

RenoCoug

9/27/22 7:10pm

Well... How often was that? You seem to know

rad dawg

9/27/22 7:11pm

Yep. They do against spread teams to get more speed on the field

We line up in a three man front

My biggest concern with Tuiaki is his lack of recruiting top DL talent.

Coug Dude

9/27/22 7:10pm

Most of the 4* DL guys are freshman or on missions.

9/27/22 7:21pm

Heard the same thing 5 years ago, how did that turn out. Fool me once...

cougaman

9/27/22 7:22pm

Not sure you did because we didn't have 4* DL guys on missions then

9/27/22 7:24pm

Oh, so it's completely different that when they got multiple high 3* and a 4

cougaman

9/27/22 7:27pm

I'm not making excuses for DL Play. Just saying that argument didn't exist.

9/27/22 7:34pm

So first, we need more than 2-3 good recruits, second, they need to stay healthy

cougaman

9/27/22 7:50pm

We needed to hit the portal hard for DL this past offseason. We essentially

HBCoug

9/27/22 7:33pm

SEVEN years in as DC and his top recruits are still on missions. Dang.

ManicBlue

9/27/22 7:43pm

Just imagine the advantage we would have with 25yr old freshmen

Jersey hunter

9/27/22 8:01pm

We weren't in the B12 and we had what was perhaps the smallest recruiting staff in D1 football until about 6 months

HarlemCoug

9/27/22 8:17pm

Why has the offense been able to recruit? Was the offense already in the Big 12?

ManicBlue

9/27/22 10:31pm

Do you have data that shows our offense has recruited better than our defense? Clearly our O is better than our

HarlemCoug

9/27/22 10:47pm

If they haven't recruited better, they've developed better. Either way it's an indictment on the defensive coaches and

ManicBlue

9/27/22 10:53pm

We're 24-5 over the last 3 seasons (including a defensive gem against the Yewts). I don't need excuses.

HarlemCoug

9/27/22 11:03pm

hahahaha ... no thanks to our defense

ManicBlue

9/28/22 12:15am

Lopa and Tofa are two highly rated guys that haven’t developed

Armchair fans, most of which never even played the game, much less coach it!

AzCugrFan

9/27/22 7:28pm

Don't focus so much on the 3 man front as the lack of pressure on the QB.

ManicBlue

9/27/22 7:41pm

All I know is opposing QBs have clean jerseys at the end of the game.

9/27/22 7:53pm

There is a difference between 3 down linemen and 3 down linemen with 2 lbs

Been saying this for quite a while. The criticisms are usually flat out wrong.

YOHONOMOTO

9/27/22 10:47pm

We are 37th in total defense right now with our schedule

YOHONOMOTO

9/27/22 10:53pm

Glad you could find one defensive stat that was above average.

ManicBlue

9/27/22 11:03pm

Lol. One game.

StantonMac

9/27/22 11:00pm

It’s pretty much every game.

YOHONOMOTO

You know this is basically everyone here, right?

CrimsonCardinal

Yes, but everyone is capable of reasonable criticisms
