    Taki hasn't recorded a sack yet. He sucks

    True freshman tufuuni flashed more this year than taimani ever did

    Flush the quitters, they couldn’t even get it together against Montana juvenile detention center.

    I was going to say something like this. All of our recent studs on the D Line flashed right away. Gaines was a fucking unit as a true freshman. I don't recal Vea's Freshman/1st season but he was already one of the best linemen in the Pac his Sophmore year. Zion balled out early on etc. All of these guys were like fringe "top 500" or whatever the fuck that means in recruiting.

    The only example I can remember of a decent DL/OLB recruit who was recruited high that started slow and got really good by his Junior/Sr year was JoJo Mathis.
    Honestly I think the previous staff was very good at developing talent at one point. Then it transitioned to a country club for coaches and we have what we have now.

    If huff is actually staying agreed. If huff is gone let's give this new coaching staff a chance to give a shit again.

    None of our front seven from this last year is worth shit, and that includes Ulo. I don't know if that means that Jimmy and his merry band of retards ruined them for good or if there's still potential for them to turnaround under a competent coaching staff.

    Either way, losing our only genuine nose tackle body is not a good thing. And even though we're full, we're going to have a hard time getting 85 guys into this program come summer.

    agree with your second point, yeah taimani wasn't that good. but he's a big body. It's not like there are a bunch of younger nose tackles on the roster ready to take his place (Voi is good but he's small). or new dline recruits coming in. Also the game Taimani missed this season against arizona was one of our worst games for rush defense if you factor in opponent.

    He just didn’t seem athletic enough. I know the bar is low as a space eating DT, but he was a lumbering oaf. Sorta like a big center in basketball who is uncoordinated and can’t move.

    Any warning? Or just gone?

    Bruener or ZTF? How do you figure on Ulo? Tuli was better than Taki. Voi was decent and has a ton of potential. Jimmy Lake was their coach

    ZTF must have been rushed back from injury too fast because he didn't look impactful this season. I really hope he stays though. Bruener was ok given the situation but he had a rough apple cup.
