Cougarbib Intervention Needed

You lost me at "the reason Tuiaki defense does well" and then turn that into a

complaint. It does not matter why the defense does well. When the defense does well - try to be happy.

I have been rewatchin6 2020 games this season. It is not always 3 DL. Often 4 DL. And sometimes they bring 5 or 6. They get burned over the top frequently when they bring extra pressure. Meanwhile announcers are marveling at the pressure they create with 3 and 4 and the confusion they cause by dropping 7 or 8.

The UVA vs BYU game I think will be an eye opener to how to be a DC

That game could be ugly

It's gonna be a blowout. BYU will win by three scores. And virginia's defense is...not good. According to advanced

7/20/21 1:21pm

Compare schedules? UVa played 4 ranked P5 teams and BYU played 1 ranked G5...

7/20/21 4:43pm

We played 2 ranked teams last year, not 1. Both on the road.

7/20/21 4:49pm

Ah, that's right. Boise. 2 G5 teams.

CharlottesvilleCoug

You should let the stat guys like Bill Connelly know that some teams' schedules

These rankings adjust for schedule strength. So yes.

BYU has the lowest returning production in the country. The D will not be more

Cougarbib

7/20/21 6:59pm

Misleading stat. BYU has Zo, Batty, Chaz, and Mahe all returning. They didn’t get a lot of starts last year because

7/20/21 8:00pm

We lost a lot of talent. Batty is hardly a veteran. They count # of plays when

Hardly a veteran yet obviously one of the best edge rush DEs we’ve had in a long time.

Don't make it complicated. We lost Grimes and Matteos. That is the experience.

one of the new coaches was on staff all last season as a consultant...

icecougar

7/24/21 4:39pm

Think about that. He was around last year and this year. How much does

Cougarbib

7/24/21 4:44pm

And we gain something

icecougar

7/24/21 4:48pm

What would that be that we gain? You can't gain something you already had?

Cougarbib

7/24/21 4:52pm

We gain a coach who is no longer new to the players and other coaches...

icecougar

7/24/21 5:09pm

Sure. That is better we than gaining a linebacker coach that can't

Cougarbib

7/24/21 6:30pm

He was a consultant.

icecougar

7/24/21 11:43pm

We already covered that. His eyes were here last year. Same eyes. Fewer

Cougarbib

7/25/21 12:12am

Luckily UVa QB isn't a great passer. More dual threat. So that will help.

7/20/21 1:22pm

He'll have his best game vs cougs and look all American

MrClark

Looks like his PFF rating was 90.3 and he's rated as the 18th best qb entering

For who? Howell?

byubyu

7/20/21 1:23pm

Yeah, not really looking forward to a Bronco D with P5 talent & a point to prove

NOCAL_YFAN

7/20/21 1:27pm

Considering that our defense is quite a bit better, we'll be fine even in that scenario

7/20/21 1:30pm

Our defense played well enough to win most games last year, but let's not kid

NOCAL_YFAN

7/20/21 1:38pm

Man, it's too bad our defense has been steam rolled by so many teams with P5 talent in recent years. Like USC,

7/20/21 1:44pm

I'm not saying we couldn't hang in the ACC, BUT using DFEI from 2020 to prove

NOCAL_YFAN

7/20/21 1:53pm

What are you basing that on? Why are you hyping up their D for no reason?

7/20/21 2:02pm

No hype, just 18 years of experience with Bronco's defenses. You're welcome to

No one is perfect....especially college defensive coaches...but mark my words

NOCAL_YFAN

7/20/21 4:37pm

His defenses at BYU were ranked higher than Sitake defenses at BYU. But, You

Cougarbib

7/20/21 4:38pm

Nobody claims he is perfect. He has, however, turned UVA into a respectable P5

Cougarbib

Just remember from past Bronco experiences that he NEVER changes

icecougar

7/24/21 4:46pm

And if it doesn't turn out that way, what will it mean?

basman

7/20/21 1:29pm

just another game for Bronco. No special meaning whatsoever

7/20/21 2:43pm

I for one will be applauding Howell with all I have.

7/20/21 1:37pm

You don't want a superstar on our staff? Smh.

7/20/21 1:45pm

I would love to have him simply because I love that aggressive defense.

7/20/21 2:23pm

But I’ll still boo Bronco

7/20/21 2:41pm

I doubt Bronco has been keeping close tabs on BYU. Maybe Anae?

You can expect a close game, but the blue goggles will prove accurate. It won't

I agree with all your points, miss the complicated defenses Bronco ran. Also
