    doesn't mean he'll actually do anything to change it.

    Listen kids. Puka is way better as a RECEIVER, than the current guys. Which is incredibly helpful on passing plays. But on approx 50% of plays he won’t be catching shit, because we actually have a run game. In that case knowledge of the system, prevents illegal formations and other mental penalties. So let’s all relax a tid bit and allow young guys to slowly get on the field. Remember the Luciano false start? I wonder how much that had to do with athleticism and talent, vs being young and inexperienced?

    He was a defensive player that was recently converted to TE. And he sucks. And he was lined up in the goal line in an obvious run play. And he sucks.

    So kinda different.

    Could it be that Luciano simply fucked up on that play? I know we have to link the mistake to recruiting, but mistakes do sometimes happen, even by experienced players.

    I remember Dissly false starting twice on the opening drive of the 2016 Apple Cup.

    Luciano, a player nobody ever put stock in, fucked up, so we should hold off on starting Puka to avoid the same fate? What kind of dipshit logic is that? Not to mention Fuller and Opera are mediocre run blockers at best. No idea how Puka is in that department, but given his demeanor and size I expect him to become pretty fucking good at it.

    Open drive is different than red zone. This means poor focus and poor coaching on paopao.
