Oregon Ducks Defensive Line Coach Tony Tuioti Discusses How They Will Replace Their Talent From Last Season

Transcript

00:00Tony, you know you're going to have to replace over 1,600 snaps from last season

00:07and have a younger group, but most everybody was returning guys.

00:11So what do you see in the challenge of restocking and reloading your room

00:15when it is mainly returning guys this offseason?

00:17Yeah, I think when you do things the right way and our guys come here

00:21and they play and they produce, they get opportunities to go on to the next level,

00:24whether they're going to leave early or whether it's by graduation

00:27and you're doing it the right way, we should have it like this.

00:32And we got talent.

00:33Excited about the talent that we have in the room,

00:35but just the experience is what we need to come along with them.

00:38So really love the young guys.

00:40We really didn't have a lot of reps for guys like Teon, Gray, Terrence Green,

00:47but those guys are capably well enough to play for us up front last year,

00:51but we just had Derek and JC that were really, really good.

00:54But these guys here are definitely guys that can make plays,

00:57obviously Amari Washington has been having a great spring

01:00and he's a guy that's going to carry a lot of the load for us too as well.

01:04Then adding Bear, you know, he's so twitchy, he's powerful, he's strong.

01:08He adds another layer for us to be able to have a player that can create

01:12havoc plays just like DJ did for us

01:14and be able to get after the quarterback too as well.

01:17One more time.
