They should offer Sanders so much money he would have to leave Jackson state
Tech’s academics would hinder his bread and butter…recruiting. He’ll stick with Jackson State until something bigger imo.
 
It isn't necessarily the DB's or their talent. There are talented guys in UT's secondary. The scheme and playcalling seems to be setting them up to fail. They kept zoning up vs UF and UF kept converting. Players don't call the plays.
While I would agree we have a little talent in the secondary, I don't agree with the narrative that they are set up to fail. What I see is a lack of hips in the DB room. Our coaches do not trust our CB's to run with the WR. So instead of getting beat consistently we are making teams throw underneath and see if they make a mistake. We know we can score on everyone. Truthfully for most of our schedule we can out score anyone. The defense just needs a few stops a game. Once we get this years class in at DB then we should start to see a different philosophy and can athlete up a little better imo. Charles is still new to CB. Burrell is not good, Flowers isnt great either, Hadden has some talent. Tmac is flying around but gets lost too
 
One observation I have is that CJH offenses seem to get TD’s instead of settling for field goals. I can’t remember how many times in the past when I would say “Settling for thst field goal instead of getting a TD is going to bite us later,”

It really helps that he has a QB that rarely turns the ball over.
 
Yes, I guess I should have said the DB's and I mean every last one of them. What's the odds all the DB's we have are really that bad? If they are that bad why are we recruiting them? I'm gonna have to give credit where I feel is due,Coach Banks as well as every coach involved with the safeties and cornerbacks, hell while we're at it throw in the support staff and every waterboy that brought them a drink. I've been unhappy with their play all year, every time I see them in zone and allowing first down catches I have to stop myself from throwing something. If your good enough to beat us playing press with the occasional zone to mix it up then good for you but for us to allow what we've all been seeing so far this year is just driving me crazy.What the hell happened to the good old days when you could watch good defense?

I think Martinez is the problem. The last time he coached here our Secondary was very similar to this one. Poor tackling and always out of position. I remember reading on here years ago that it was mentioned by Fair how badly coached our Secondary looked under Martinez. No clue if it's true, but Martinez was gone soon after and Fair was hired.Maybe a coincidence or maybe not. But the the X factor in the that Secondary to this uears is Martinez. They were really horrid last season too. Martinez isn't even a good recruiter anymore. That's how he made a name for himself. Either way, we've gotta upgrade our Secondary talent and upgrade the Coaching there. If we ever can get a top 20 Defense, we will be hard to play with our Offense!

He’s the primary recruiter for both Jordan Matthew and Rickey Gibson. Conyer too for that matter, but I’m not sure he’s as highly regarded as those 2
