    Enough that I’m actually paying attention to rumors that BYU is on standby in case an NY6 participant gets covided.
    Ha ha it would be so cool if BYU plays a second bowl game. I know they won’t do it but it would be something that has never happened before and would never happen again! How often does that opportunity come along?

    It cracks me up though that there are rumors that BYU would play a second game and that the rumors are getting some traction.

    • I count myself lucky to have watched two BYU football games live (Houston and the bowl game last night). They were both a blast, and I think folks realize two things when they get an "all-22" view of BYU: 1. Zach looks better live. Different angles than the typical TV angle sometimes shows just how incredible ZW's throws can be. 2. Tuiaki's defense looks better.

        Maybe. Look what he did last night underneath. That's Baylor Romney's bread and butter.

          This is the big regret I have from this season, so I'm jealous. If he finds a home at the next level, I'll have to go watch him play sometime.

            He's got insane hands and runs immaculate routes. Kind of like an Edelman type of receiver, maybe faster. He could get a shot.

              Agree he's a good route runner. Disagree he's faster than Edelman. When it comes down to it, I just don't think he's got the size/stamina/durability. There's a reason that there are so few Wes Welkers and Julian Edelmans of the world.

                One of the commentators used this comparison a couple games back, and it seemed like a really good one to me. I wonder how much luck it takes to end up in the right situation though.

                  Earlier this year I thought that he could be like Hunter Renfrow. But then I realized I only think that because they are both white. I really have no idea how they compare otherwise.

                  Turns out Dax is 3 inches taller but only 5 pounds heavier.

                      Aren’t you the guy who thinks Taysom Hill could be a Edelman/Welker type? That sort of disqualifies you from this discussion, tbh.

                        You mean like Cole Beasley, Scotty Miller, Hunter Renfrow, Adam Humphries, Andy Isabella, Cooper Kupp,

                        And that is just the racist eye test

                        Actually I agree I don’t think he projects as an NFL guy but if his draft workouts show some unexpected quickness in the three cone and shuttle he might have a chance because his hands are top notch.

                          I think he could be better than Edelman (a former college QB) because Taysom’s a freak athlete, and I’m not sold on Taysom as a top-tier NFL QB.

                          I disagree that it has any bearing on a discussion of Milne’s NFL prospects.

                            Yeah that comparison is so off its uncanny. I’m not saying Taysom couldn’t be a productive receiver. And I agree 100% that he’s not an NFL QB. But he’s not a WR in the Edelman mold. At. All.

                            Sure, Taysom is fast. Faster than Edelman in a straight line race. But Edelman’s success comes from being quick laterally—shifty. There is just no way Taysom is going to be able to do what Edelman does in the slot. Taysom rarely makes anyone miss: Edelman makes a living off of it.

                            A more accurate comparison (but still not perfect) is Will Fuller or maybe Alston Jeffrey. Fast in a straight line. Tall. Strong. But not going to make anyone miss on a 2 yard curl route.

                              Hmmm. Yeah, I don’t see Taysom as Alshon at all, but I think you make a good point that he’s not laterally quick like Edelman. I just imagine Taysom being a high possession receiver and letting his power and speed do the rest to pick up YAC. I don’t see him catching 50-80 balls on the outside like a Fuller/Jeffry, though. Maybe I’m being short sighted, I just don’t see that as a role he’d thrive in.

                              • Taysom is a receiving TE mostly working from the slot. Think faster Jonnu Smith.
