Heupel needs to cut Banks loose. This is not all just injuries. All teams have them. Some worse than ours.

 

[WaywardVol]

Banks has got to go

 

[mackievol]

Ive seen enough. Time for Banks to be fired.

 

[RTVFL89]

This is ridiculous.

 

[TheVolunteer002]

They could be in a position to tie this after halftime, which is insane considering it was 28-7 two seconds ago. Our defense is actually atrocious.

 

[midtnvol2]

We ain’t winning out. This is Sunseri level defense. Just lost on every play

This team will do good t owin two of the remaining games

 

[FlVols]

should be holding on them

 

[orangerush]

Hold

 

[Matt2496]

Fire Banks. This is unacceptable performance in year 5.

 

[LLcoolDave]

DLINE is getting no penetration this long ass, 12 + play series

 

[JRich]

Does anyone else think that Boo Carter kind of sucks?

At least on defense.

 

[adam.vol]

If their QB could hit the broad side of a barn, we’d be in serious trouble.

 

[84Vol3]

This is ridiculous

 

[tnvols72]

penalties against their offense is a plus for them

 

[vol94]

Our D is laughable. Anyone still defending Banks?

Vandy does more with much less talent, as do other defenses/teams.

 

[rocketskates]

Kentucky about to cap off a 92 yard drive, gotta love it.

 

[FranklinVFL]

Offenses should just take a knee on first and second down against our defense and only play third and fourth downs.

Likely reduces their risk for turnovers and enhance their likelihood of maximum yardage gained.

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

People just be so wide open

Our LB can't cover my granny in a wheel chair

 

[joevol33]

We are unquestionably the worst third down defense I’ve seen in a long time

In my life

 

[OrangeTsar]

And keeping our offense off the field

 

[ButchPlz]

Heupel needs to cut Banks loose. This is not all just injuries. All teams have them. Some worse than ours.

I don't think I agreed before. But the evidence is there now. The defense is not improving.

 

[BigD]

How is our defense this abysmal with both starting corners out? Its embarrassing. I know we shouldn't be as good without them but this is ridiculous!

 

[Vol1956]

I’m glad it wasn’t thrif diwn

 

[NOLAPhil]

Eason threw both hands up

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

If I was an OC I could not wait to get to 3rd or 4th down. You will get what you want

Any team that isn't keeping the Tennessee offense in check should just roll the dice and refrain from punting.
