Certainly not last year. Lack of pressure and edge contain was a big problem. Batty in particular had a challenging year. Pepe is better but undersized for a DE. Attempting to play Summers at DE was disastrous.
Sure we have Fano and Moa coming in, but they're freshman and may start a bit undersized.
The scheme does none of them any favors. Generally talent level isn’t very good which makes Tuiaki even more conservative in his approach.
