It's honestly some of both...Banks wants to play bend but don't break break due to the weakness in our DB, which is a very rational use of what we have with McCoy and Gibson out, but some of the players are taking horrible angles, getting way out of position and missing a lot of tackles when they do get where they are supposed to be.is it the players on defense are not that elite or the defensive scheme is not good putting players out of position to make plays....or both?

I have seen this broken down by several YT guys that I really respect...they pretty much say what I just said. They say Banks didn't get stupid overnight and he is doing the best he can with what he has to work with.
I really really hope we get at least one good Safety and one good LB and one huge strong DT out of the Portal this year. If we just had that this year it would make a HUGE difference. I wish we could find another Pili that isn't freak injury prone, and a Jakobe that wasn't greedy...those guys were so freaking good when they were on the field. I hate that those things happened to Pili...IMO he would have been one of those beloved Vol legends if he hadn't gotten hurt both seasons, and now most will forget him except to think he was made of glass. He could have been one of the great ones.
