Some off-season notes from twitter

These bullets were pulled from a series of tweets by The Blue Brethren.



Spoke with a friend close to the football program. Here are some of the takeaways:

- Travis Tuiloma is rehabbing ahead of schedule but will still probably miss a few games.

- Kalani knows Tuiloma is for sure an NFL guy and doesn't want to bring him back too early.

- Ului Lapoaho weighed 290 in December and weighs 350 now. The entire o line has put on similar weight.

- Bold prediction: You'll see Corbin Kaufusi in the red zone in Glendale.

- Kaufusi has been running with the 1's at TE.

I'm not excited by OL putting on 60 pounds. That's sounds like a lot of non-muscle weight.



How pathetic is the TE position that a guy who didn't participate in spring ball, who hasn't played football in 1/2 a decade is now #1 at that position?

First we complain about our lineman being fat and slow, now we are excited when someone on twitter posts that our lineman are getting fat in the off season. Anyone besides me see any inconsistencies here?

I assumed 350 was an exaggeration. What human being puts on 60 pounds in 5 months? Um...besides me when I'm locked in a donut shop for those 5 months.

It's physically impossible to put on 60lbs of muscle without massive steroid use in only a few months.

Our linemen were fat and slow for GFGH, Nitro, etc. offenses. Now we are going pro-set, and we want every body on that line over 340, TK excepted, to win the battle of the trenches.



BYU didn't have a single Olineman drafted under Bronco's/Anae's/Doman's/Anae's regime. What they were doing wasn't working for that position group, despite some awesome prospects landed during that time. I like this development---tired of seeing our guards getting shoved 8 yards deep into the pocket.

This is confusing to me. Do we want to have offensive linemen weigh 340+, or do we want guys getting drafted? It's not going to be both.



Here is the list of the offensive linemen drafted in the most recent draft that weighed over 340:



(Nobody)



Here are the ones that weighed over 330:



(Nobody)



over 320:



Alexander, LSU 326

Beavers, Western Michigan 324

Shell, South Carolina 324

Ifedi, Texas A&M, 324

Vaitai, TCU 320



Under 320:
