LB Palaie Gaoteote (Official Thread)

On the bright side... half of his plays they didnt score?

I knew you had a ‘glass half full’ view of Saturday’s defense.

Haha I mean I have to bring the pendulum back the other way somehow.

Couldn't agree more. I've been pronouncing it wrong all along and have been practicing the correct pronunciation. At least J.T. Tuimoloau's name is pronounced somewhat similar to how it's spelled. Not so for PG.

But his name is not J.T. Tuimoloau. It is just Jaylahn Tuimoloau. His teammates called him JT because that is easier to say. But the outsiders thought JT is his first and middle name...hence JT Tuimoloau. I sat next to his family at the game; that’s how I learned that.

How many other guys have actually played before getting their stripe removed?

Our kicker this year.

My goodness how fortunes can change in a matter of days.

The kid goes from being denied one minute to a wide open situation on a defense looking for any and all answers the next. For all we know this guy could step in, start kicking ass immediately and be the hero of the defense.

I hope the homeless guy on High Street in the early '90s was right and, "Help is on the way!".

I only have one request. Stop the run please. Just stop the run. When in doubt hit someone as hard as humanly possible and change the attitude on this defense

Without targeting..

that may be too much to ask for so I didnt want to appear greedy

I saw him on the field for 1 play against Tulsa and he got a 3rd down stop for no gain to force a FG. Hopefully he can get on the field more.

Yeah, 1 play was it.

Gaoteote, who has played exclusively as a Sam linebacker in three-linebacker packages in his first two games as a Buckeye, played just one snap as the Buckeyes rarely had three linebackers on the field against Tulsa (though he made that snap count by making a 3rd-and-1 run stop).

And he made a big tackle for loss to stop their first drive if I remember right. So he makes a play then never gets in again.
