Skeptical Optimist Intervention Needed

pretty good with, at the extreme expense of that slow and painful death that Hill talked about.

Hallelujah! Brings a tear to my eye. The slow death was the wooooorst

Now go find the player talent who can actually pull this off

Indy Coug

Much easier to recruit players to this type of scheme

canuckchuck

12/8/22 12:01pm

Agree. Alpha defensive players want to attack. Recruit to the scheme.

Squirt

12/8/22 12:04pm

Also easier to look good when the offense doesn't know that they can just run

Trent

12/8/22 3:11pm

They're also saying that recruiting is everything

May be. But, pretty sure our front 7 could become proficient at pretending like

Players want to play like that — it won't be hard to find them

While our D talent has been lacking, we could have played this style if it were

Players weren’t t the biggest issue. Dunce coaches were

It's not currently there, that's why recruiting is the most important aspect

I agree but it is important that he says this now to signal to recruits that

Give me a break. Bronco did it just fine with very similar talent.

Rather have a shoot out then not give the offense the ball after long drive and

Kolobrdm

Me too. Nothing worse than those grinding 14 play drives where we can't stop

Skeptical Optimist

12/8/22 12:00pm

3rd and 1? It was 3rd and long that we routinely failed to stop them.

Bert609

It was 3rd and anything that we failed to stop them

3rd and (insert any distance here)

12/8/22 12:04pm

3rd and 99...Touchdown! That's how it felt at least

Don Carlton

12/8/22 12:07pm

This. Was too easy for teams to stay “on schedule” against Tuakis scheme.

Squirt

12/8/22 12:07pm

There are many things worse than 14-play drives where we can't stop them.

All-American

12/8/22 12:09pm

At least our defense will be well rested for the fourth quarter. 😀

ArcticKat

12/8/22 12:13pm

Disagree. 14 play touchdown drives feel like they are worth 10 points with the

Super Chicken

12/8/22 1:11pm

Not me because I don't trust our offense in a shootout.

I'm ready!

Never could come to grips with being willing to sacrifice a

IceBlue

12/8/22 12:09pm

Well said! Also how did we even recruit with Tuiaki's scheme? Who would want

hardcorecoug

12/8/22 12:13pm

We were giving up big plays anyways...

Coug

12/8/22 12:17pm

Tuiaki's last 5 seasons, BYU gave up 272 plays of 20+ yards. Bronco's last 5 seasons BYU gave up 247.

What D were you watching these past few years?

BYU Grounds

12/8/22 8:05pm

What? You don't stubbornly stick with a game plan no matter who you're playing, including a busted up QB? No way!

Soupie

12/8/22 12:05pm

I wish people understood that blitzing on every play is a horrible idea.

reagan21

12/8/22 12:06pm

No one wants to blitz every down. We just want to blitz when we should be!

hardcorecoug

12/8/22 12:08pm

You would think so, but that’s not my experiences

reagan21

12/8/22 12:11pm

Not to mention EFFECTIVE blitzes and disguised coverages.

IceBlue

12/8/22 12:11pm

This

fulano

12/8/22 12:43pm

You can bring pressure every play with different blitzes & still drop 7

Bobmarleyjr

12/8/22 1:19pm

Pretty sure his response talked about using a multi-scheme approach depending on opponent & situation. CB'er just

I’m a fan of an NFL team that almost nerve rushes more than 4. It can be

reagan21

12/8/22 12:15pm

Great. Now I'm hungry 😕

IceBlue

12/8/22 12:16pm

Great. Now you changed it...

IceBlue

12/8/22 12:17pm

Let’s talk about food schemes.

reagan21

12/8/22 12:18pm

If you have two stud DEs built for the pass rush this is the best defense.

jre85

12/8/22 3:06pm

Does your favorite NFL team have good pass rushers?

CameronG

12/8/22 3:31pm

To be fair, they did some blitzing but they were easily recognized and

IceBlue

12/8/22 12:15pm

Exactly. It's all about not being vanilla. Blitzing is a PART of it, but

hardcorecoug

12/8/22 12:15pm

I’d settle for once a quarter or half or even once per game. Point taken though.

ArcticKat

12/8/22 12:16pm

I read it more as referring to not accepting long drawn-out drives.

Eddie

12/8/22 12:17pm

This is a straw man

dixieutahbyuzag

12/8/22 12:18pm

Yep getting pressure with 4 is the key to success when playing 4 down

palangi

12/8/22 12:24pm

He will disguise what he's doing, apply pressure in different ways, and bring

Doogal McCougar

12/8/22 12:29pm

Strange premise that people think blitzing every play is a good idea.

Ripliancum

12/8/22 3:59pm

Max Tooley would thrive. More guys like him please

Gunga Galunga

12/8/22 12:21pm

Isn't this proof that Hill was very aware of BYU's defensive scheme this past

BYUJoJo

12/8/22 12:23pm

if he wasn't before I would imagine he watched a lot of film recently

fulano

12/8/22 12:45pm

He was probably shocked at how bad the defense and scheme were

CameronG

Death by a thousand paper cuts.

Seems like a high IQ guy that understands where work need to be put in
