    Taki, Tuli, Ika, Tui, and Paama before every game would have to run on the field shirtless like they did against Colorado.

    Can we get a system where we just call them Poly 1, Poly 2, Poly 3, etc.? No fucking way I keep this shit straight otherwise.
    1 little, 2 little, 3 little...
  • I don’t get why anyone would think it’s hard for these guys to all see the field. The hallmark of our defense is unprecedented rotation.

    We rotate at least 6 guys heavily and I believe if we had 8 good ones we’d rotate them.

    That’s the reason we have 3 stud DTs this year and we are all uneasy. Because we know we need 5-6.

    Our 2016 rotated Qualls, Gaines, Vea and Jaylen regularly. And Turpin and other saw the field regularly against high quality opponents.

    Let’s go Doog crazy and assume we get 2 big time DTs this year and Ngalu (who I think is good, but not “huge time” and let’s just say it’s Ika, Wright and Ngalu)...

    Because Tuli is almost certainly going to play this year, in a few years we will have a spread of:

    RS-SR Levi
    JR Tuli
    RS-SO Taki, Draco, Mosiah
    SO Ika
    RS-FR Wright, Ngalu

    This isn’t a log jam at all. All of them would play. And the RS-Frosh would play the right amount for them.

    People forget the prior to last year we’d signed 1 DT (Levi) in 2 years. So our numbers were awful. If we’d had 2 kids in both those classes there’d be a log jam, but we didn’t and there’s not.

    Do you think it's a toss between Ika and Tuitele, regarding who commits?

    Ika is a Nose, Tuitele is a DT.

    Right now I think our options at nose are Ika and Pa'ama (my guess is we'd wait on Ika to decide to determine where Pa'ama plays).

    At DT we have Tuitele, Wright, Ngalu...

    I hope you're right. That would make the best D-line in the nation in the near future.

    If we get Wright, Ika, Tuliete and manage to keep Paama I will streak across U blv.

    Pics?

    Concerning NG/DT prospects in 2018 and 2019, make the comparison between UW, Bama, and Georgia if we were to score Tuitele and Ika (not to mention adding Wright). Additionally, we're better than anyone when it comes to getting the most out of the talent we bring in on the defensive side. Look at the evidence. We were first in the nation last year against the run. I remember Bama and Georgia. Their games were the only ones to watch the last two weeks of the season.

    You forget those 2 teams play in a real conference. Last I remember tree ran pretty well against us

    Thanks BBK!

    Vea and Gaines destroyed their interior OL. Vita's tape from the Furd game is insane. But our LBer play in that game was atrocious.
