More than stupid. Totally disrespectful to our country. Whomever did it should have been ejected from the arena.

When he came out and tried to defend being mid-30s and in a relationship with a 16 yo girl as being okay because her parents didn’t mind, it told me all I needed to know about him. Hes trash

I didn’t know that history of him. I thought he may be doing all this for attention. He is really gone to have thinking like that. If true, the girls parents are trash too.

I believe Beasley will get better, he can be a good LB, I think...we HAVE TO get depth there! I think that will help Beasley a lot. Page plays a bit, but Beasley and Banks go pretty much the whole way...losing Mitchell was a huge loss.

Shedding blocks and tackling; but, the glare that's most apparent: personnel at the LB and S position. Depth at LB, and replacements for Flowers and McCollough. Love them both as loyal Vols, and I truly believe they play as hard as they can, but...

I don't get the Beasley hate. The guy recognizes what is happening quickly. He is undersized and has less strength than is needed for ILB. The off season will do him wonders to get ready for next season. Same with Banks. They both need 5-7 lbs of muscle and another year of prep. We need quality depth added there to help both of them be at their best.

It’s not as bad in college yet but it is making all the teams play the same style….. just like all the rule changes in football is making teams play similar styles and the same thing for baseball….. I just don’t find it as entertaining…. I would most definitely utilize this style bc this is how you win championships in today’s game.

I've been extremely pleased with Banks all year. There is no other way to describe last Saturday's defensive performance than pathetic. Surely I don't need to go drag out statistics. The question is where do we place blame? You, McGill and others seem to think it was mostly on the players. While I do believe the players have some of the blame, I think Banks had a poor showing. Does that mean I want him fired (that's usually the response from some when you are slightly critical of a coach)? Hell no.

All I know is when we set back and played zone and rushed 3-4, we consistently gave up huge chunk plays. Time and time again allowed big play after big play. When we rushed 5 or more we time and time again (I realize that was very few), good things happened most of the time.

No, no...not at all do I think you want him fired...it's your critique, and we're entitled; and, I agree, wasn't very good the other night on D. Zone has to be better, standard pass rush HAS TO be better; but, sometimes, zone is executed, QB and WR just find the windows, it happens.

However, where we disagree is the "some" blame placed on players, with Banks "poor showing". While yes, there's been times I've wondered why we're not doing this or that as it concerns Banks play calling, most of the time, and this has been all year, the D calls are putting our players in position to make plays, they just aren't doing it. Missed tackles, not getting off blocks, dropped INTs or breakdowns in coverage (I bet we've dropped 7 or 8 INTs on the year, or we're a split second too late)...that's execution, and that's on the players.

Seven to eight times out of ten, I believe the calls have been up to snuff, and the execution wasn't there, and thats how I feel about the other night...that's why I'm not getting too down about the D; once we get some better personnel and depth, I'm super excited about what Banks brings to the table.

But, yes...the other night was not good, except when it ABSOLUTELY had to be.

Why are the announcers not in the arena?

I wondered too. The broadcast leaves A LOT to be desired when they're watching tv like us & Bob has a hard time adapting. He still tries to call it like a normal game, filling all air space but clearly can't see anymore than we can see. I assume he doesn't have a spotter, called wrong person in a play or injured numerous times.
