WHERE IS MY BEER MUG
Thanks Taft but please don’t post from that faggy click bait boomer account.
Bruener will be top 5 next year. cook it.
I don't understand why he wasn't a starter last season. I thought he was better than Tuputala and seemed to have a knack for making big plays happen. He's also a badass on special teams.
Bruener just always seemed to make plays. Seemed like the previous staff didn't like him against the teams with better athletes like Oregon, Texas, Michigan. I kind of saw it where he'd get out athleted but I'd still take that over a guy who just can't read the play at all ie the other LB.
I could see Bruener being even better playing more straight forward Big 10 running offenses each week.
I think it's moreso that Bruener and Ulofoshio had pretty similar skillsets, and they wanted Tuputala to be something he just didn't materialize into being. Taller, rangy, thumper type. I think Tuputala actually did a pretty good job in coverage, but his run support was lacking.
Bruener had always been the most physical tackler.
Still, Tuputala is a good player, and LB should be a position of insane strength for the defense next season.
Ironically Tuputala's int showed me what I assume they think he can be. When he caught it I figured he was gonna get tackled for a short gain but looked great turning the corner and running past Utah's offense, but it ended up being the perfect showing of how he's a guy who just lacks something as he dropped the ball two yard shorts.
