    It was crazy to see Tuli and Taki out there on a Sat and realized these are 2nd and 3rd string guys respectively. Malloe is making up for the sins of 2016 and 17.

    You wonder wtf Ale Kaho was thinking going to Bama when Kyler Manu and Brandon Wellington are our starting LB's... he plays garbage time in Bama and on special teams as a true sophomore.


    yep...to many people 2 in the hand ($$ to pay off some credit cards today) is worth 3 in the bush (NFL draft pick in 3-4 years and millions of bucks).

    Why is Ty Jones on there? Isn’t he out for most of the season?

    Um. It’s well documented he was homesick and wanted to be closer to family

    He didn't redshirt at Bama? WJW. Dumb move.

    Did Sirmon or Tafisi play at all BYU?

    I think Wellington is fine and dont hate him, but I think Tafisi is better than Manu. Seems like they are the same but Tafisi is younger and hits harder

    Yes. If I had to guess, I'd say 30% of snaps.

    Of course he didn't redshirt. They had like 6 LB's get hurt and needed him to play, that's why they paid his dad to get him down there.

    I still don't think Ale wanted to go.

    Forgot Chico even existed

    For all the shit Fuller and Baccallia take, Chico deserves it more. Bad hands, midgit, somewhat fast but not a home run hitter. Just play Hunter Bryant in the slot, which we did a lot vs BYU. Or play Fuller there and out Puka outside.
    Chico has disappeared completely since the EWU Super Bowl win
    He had a nice role his sophomore year when we had almost no depth after Ross and Pettis. The designated Chico role is stupid and part of our beta offense. It doesn’t have to exist just because you like Chico. If we are playing an undersized slot, he should at least be a reliable chain mover with great hands. That isn’t Chico.
    Yeah. Bryant and Otton should be on the field at all times with Opera spelling Fuller some.

    Chico disappeared completely since he died on the field 2 years ago, Or whenever that was.

    I always hated the Hall, Mickens, Chico roll in the offense anyways, always seemed like a shitty attempt to replicate Oregon's DeAnthony Thomas thing.

    I agree. It didn't feel right. Ale wanted Washington but all that family shit got in the way and what's an 18 year old kid gonna do?

    It ties into our Jack of All Trades, Master of Beating EWU offesive philosophy. So at least it is par for the course

    In fairness to Chico he's way more dynamic than Mickens or Hall ever were. But he's not a natural receiver, and while he could be an asset if utilized properly, we can't seem to figure out a meaningful way to get him involved. 2016 Chico was a bonafide weapon, if we can figure out how to get back to that then he might start to have some use again.

    This. If you have Percy Harvin or DAT, they can play the Chico role. You don’t need to have one just because you have an undersized guy who played RB in high school.

    Disagree, Chico has thrown for 0 TDs.
