We can't get 2 yards on 3rd-they get 15

Same old crap.

 

[Vol737]

What are we even doing already? Jumping off sides. Motion penalty. And a crap call on third and two. Are we in for real coming out with this stuff?

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

why does bank only rush four on 3rd down

Don't forget the zone that's 20 yards off of the los and the open middle of the field

 

[VolBoyFord]

Hahahah. Same ole ****. New year.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

At least defense is stopping run so far, but Simpson will throw for 300 yards plus

 

[Swiftybaby]

I am 36 and in the 26 years I’ve been heavily invested in the vols we haven’t been able to stop a 3rd and long

 

[MurphyVol]

No discipline on either side of the LOS. Sos tired of the false starts and nonsense

 

[Other_Guy]

Same ole ****

Illegal procedure on 2nd & short
Let’s bana convert 3rd & 13
Lines up offside.

All in first 5 minutes

Eason looked away like he was anticipating the pass. What the heck

 

[joevol33]

Gonna be a long night

 

[JPL]

Going to win the penalty game

What has happened to the defense? Just awful!

 

[FranklinVFL]

Our defense sucks. I mean…really sucks.

 

[OrangeTsar]

Good grief. What an obvious hold

 

[Go47]

Had him in the end zone, but 3rd down play for 18 yards, defense never gets better

Don’t expect it.

There will be one of two outcomes. Long conversion or a turnover.

 

[BeardedVol]

Maybe someone will give Tim Banks a shot as HC next season, and he'll take Martinez with him to be his DC.

 

[Vol8188]

Simpson moves really well in the pocket

 

[Anti-shunshinepumper]

I'd be curious to see the stats on what we give up on 3rd down under Banks

 

[Volbrando]

We have zero pass defense

 

[djwes]

Same old ass, Tennessee defense give up third and 4 miles

 

[patrick]

TB defensive backs can’t cover a receiver with a king sized blanket.

Asswhipping incoming.

 

[posivol]

come on d up

 

[Flipdaddy]

Undisciplined

Be careful, you get flames for being realistic

 

[CPVOL]

72 literally lifted his man off the ground holding

 

[TheDirector]

Good grief. What an obvious hold

Get used to it

 

[Chippo]

This 3rd & long garbage with our defense has to change. It is costing us games.

You got that right!!!!!!
