Yo ST! How’s the Dline looking?? I’m interested in what the rotation is looking like
If Joe doesn’t inspire you then nobody can.
Play with passion.
Play with smarts.
Play like a Warrior!
Lots of different combinations on the d-line. They can go many different ways depending on the opponent and situation.
Some of the great ones, those guys. Hope they put their mana on the koa!
Onosai was one one of the most powerful Warriors ever, if not the strongest.
One more week baby!
GO WARRIORS!!!
Maui No Ka Oi!
I agree with you, haka. Joe gives unreal speeches.
Regarding prior day’s posts, the QB coach said they will also use the RPO and the playbook is at least double what it was at St. Louis for Chevan.
So the RPO dies hard.

too bad the RPO dies hard… was truly hopeful
to see pure R nS and it’s philosophy
Seems like a concern if guys have not entrenched themselves in the DL rotation. Nice to have options but also seems like no one is a standout that will take the majority of the snaps.
Na Koa Mike-thx for the great pics! Looks like a great success-
I think the RPO will only be used as a quick change of pace to give the defense something to think about. Like a wildcat play. I don’t think it will be implemented as the offense of any sustained drive unless of course, the defense just can’t stop it whether it be by ground or air. It could be a nice quick, no huddle change of pace for someone like McDonald. It could also be a nice personnel package change that is part of a larger play setup for later in the game. We got’em brah…go long!
McDonald and Cordeiro can both run, it would seem foolish to not make use of their abilities just because of an offensive philosophy.
I like the RPO being implemented in the RnS! The LBs can’t read n react as quickly. Especially if we throw in some play action off the RPO
First game of the season is one week away, I didn’t realize it!
Eleven years later, Hawaii beats Georgia.
I didn’t realize that Honolulu was Kaimuki renamed.
Kilauea Field.
So many good memories.
The guy who used the “b”-word on national television was on my team.
And the son of the Hawaii Islanders’ general manager.
We were the Yankees.
I am old.
Hawaii beats Georgia.
Sounds good, right?
Just get that Rick Ankiel-like kid out of the game and they’d win, I thought.
I did attend the 1st practice & did notice some RPO plays … was curious about that … I think it’s a great idea to incorporate some of those plays into the R & S … we have a very interesting group @ RB with the likes of Dayton Furuta, Fred Holly, Miles Reed, Elijah Dale, Hekili Keliiliki, & the one guy I hope to see get some game time “Big” Mel Davis … I saw him suited up for that 1st practice and told him it’s great to see him in uniform & on the field … he gave me a huge smile and said “Blessed” … like Coach Ron Lee said we need to get at least 150 yds per game from the RB position … if the opposing “D” is playing for a pass, we do an RPO running play, WHOA … got my Season Tickets & will be @ the San Jose State game … CAN’T WAIT … GOT GOOD VIBES FOR THIS YEAR … not so much in the Win / Loss column but an entertaining team that will play hard for 60 mins … the Wins will come along …
LIVE ALOHA / PLAY WARRIOR / DEFEND THE ROCK … GO ‘BOWS … !!!!!
K Kekoa Sasaoka leaves team, heads for JC.
I love what I’m hearing. Multiple defensive line packages, RPO in the offensive philosophy, multiple RBs in the rotations. The Boise St. template. Let’s follow that if we can. Hard to prepare for. Too bad about Sasaoka though. Once Coach Rolovich and Staff gets this system running on all the cylinders they have available (lots) this train will be unbelievable and awesome to witness. May take some time but you can see the potential. Plenty room on the bandwagon for everybody so let’s go Warriors!! Terrific.
Back when Rolo was OC they ran some RPO out of the Kiko formation and were pretty successful I remember Moniz taking off a few times down field on those especially since Alex Green was such a talent out of the back field
JJ ran some option when Brennan was QB. Always have to look for the offensive innovations to keep the opposing defenses honest. RPO might be more effective with the reinstitution of the fun and shoot.
