He’s obviously better than Bentley, but at least Bentley had some fire in him. Brewer seems emotionally dead.

chinngiskhaan started the topic Brewer in the forum Football 3 years, 11 months ago

It’s clear at this point that he’s much closer to being Bentley 2.0 than he is to being the QB we desperately need. Is that his fault? Maybe not, both of those guys probably look worse than they are because of our poopoo offensive line play.

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic Transfer strategy in the forum Football 3 years, 11 months ago

I understand replacing players… but Whitt has mentioned several times leaving scholarships open for transfer guys. That’s what I’m talking about. Fill those spots with guys that haven’t failed on other teams (high school recruits).

Also, as fans it is apparent that we put false hope in these transfers.

chinngiskhaan started the topic Transfer strategy in the forum Football 3 years, 11 months ago

Doesn’t seem to be paying off. At some point you have to realize that maybe wasting roster spots on guys who weren’t good enough to play on their old teams is not the best use of scholarships and other resources.

chinngiskhaan started the topic Just got home, my thoughts in the forum Football 3 years, 11 months ago

First of all. I’m shocked about how little I care that we lost. I think this game being on 9/11, and Ty being gone things were put into perspective. Also, this game means nothing, I’m oddly kind of happy for BYU fans
I sat on the south west corner on the 3rd row and hated it. I had forgot how much better football clubs watching is from home.…[Read more]

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic BYU fan here, I come in peace in the forum Football 3 years, 11 months ago

My honest answer: I don’t want the game to continue happening yearly. I’m comfortable with where me team is relative to BYU. I don’t need to be reminded that we are the better program every year. I do have a lot of good memories from the rivalry games (I attended the Ratliff comeback, the beck to Harline, the doink, 54-10, and a few others), but…[Read more]

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic How Big12 announcement affects UofU in the forum Football 3 years, 11 months ago

sure… but that’s semantics as far as I’m concerned. They will be the 5th best P5, we’ll be just ahead of them at 4th (until one of our big market teams starts dominating again some day).

chinngiskhaan started the topic How Big12 announcement affects UofU in the forum Football 3 years, 11 months ago

I’m putting this in the football category even though it has implications for the basketball program as well.
Football/Conference Big Picture: As far as football is concerned, this is obviously better for BYU than independence is/was. The Big12 going forward, at least in the near future will be just a hair below the Pac12 in terms of projected…[Read more]

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic Thoughts on last night in the forum Football 3 years, 11 months ago

Drops are drops man… I think the only thing you can do about that is forget about it and move on. These guys know how to catch the football, they just didn’t. Chalk it up to nerves in the first game in front of fans in a long time… and just move on. Hopefully it gets better.

chinngiskhaan started the topic Another thought from last night regarding Weber State in the forum Football 3 years, 11 months ago

I was really impressed with how well they were coached. They showed how you can have solid play in the trenches from recruiting local boys and giving them solid coaching. They gave us the perfect game 1 situation IMO. No serious injuries that I’m aware of, gave us some things to work on, made us compete, but we still won relatively easily.
I am…[Read more]

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic Can I just reiterate that I was really impressed with Phillips in the forum Other Ute Sports 3 years, 11 months ago

LOL, yeah… I’m not worried about it. If I was, why would I keep posting? I’m definitely not insecure enough about my football knowledge that I would pretend to know more than I actually do.

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic Can I just reiterate that I was really impressed with Phillips in the forum Other Ute Sports 3 years, 11 months ago

well, it’s true… I know enough to know what good/bad looks like as it relates to individual and group performances, but I know next to nothing about who gets what assignment and when.

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic Why didn't pledger play in the second half? in the forum Football 3 years, 11 months ago

Yeah, I have no idea who the best is. When you look at pledger’s stats, he had 2 carries for 10 yards. That isn’t bad at all, especially considering that he played in the first quarter when our offensive line was playing like ballsack. I was just wondering if anyone knew why he didn’t get any run in the second half.

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic I'm usually on the negative side after the first game. in the forum Football 3 years, 11 months ago

I think I agree pretty much across the board, though I’m a little less okay with the offensive line. Yes, they will be a bit better than last year, but they were so bad last year that improvement would happen even by accident. I’m growing tired of hearing that we are 10 deep, then hearing excuses about why they didn’t perform when three guys were…[Read more]

chinngiskhaan started the topic Can I just reiterate that I was really impressed with Phillips in the forum Other Ute Sports 3 years, 11 months ago

I don’t know enough about football to know if he was the one who screwed up on that long pass play with the blown coverage they had toward the end of the third quarter (I think that’s when it was, that game went on for so long its kind of all a mess in my head rn). It looked to me like he was guarding someone else, then came up to make the tackle…[Read more]

chinngiskhaan started the topic Why didn't pledger play in the second half? in the forum Football 3 years, 11 months ago

Because he dropped a pass? Because he got hurt? Because the other two guys are better? IDC which one of these ends up being the answer, I’m just wondering if anyone has any insight into the actual reason.

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic My thoughts on the game in the forum Football 3 years, 11 months ago

Lol… so you are that kind of drunk then (the delusional overly happy kind)?

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic My thoughts on the game in the forum Football 3 years, 11 months ago

I’m not worried about how they block against byu. I’m worried about how they block against USC.I did pay attention to the OL and they missed several assignments.

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic So what do we know?? in the forum Football 3 years, 11 months ago

He is slight not small

chinngiskhaan replied to the topic BYU Next in the forum Football 3 years, 11 months ago

ummmm… I wouldn’t be shocked if we lost against TSPP. Thomas was good, but how good? We still don’t know, we played Weber State! Brewer is nails, but that won’t matter if we can’t block for him (or our running backs), and we don’t catch easy passes for touchdowns.
