Ben. Bolton.Perlotte is obviously a vastly superior athlete but I don’t think he was ready early in the season. Linebacker isn’t a very easy position to learn in a few weeks. I heard Kevin Simon explain why it took some time for him to get on the field. Perlotte looks like the best linebacker prospect we’ve had in many, many years. His athleticism jumps off the screen. Can you imagine when he fills out?
Really, last year Banks was a genius and now he is an idiot. Next year he will be a genius again.I know a bunch want to say it’s all Banks fault the defense is so bad. That’s just lazy thinking. It’s not all his fault.
He may just have too much on his plate tooHeupel is an offensive coach, so we spend more NIL on offense than we do defense. We have to do something where we can spend more on defense. Tim Banks is not a horrible DC, IMO, but he lacks the talent he needs to run a proper defense. Last year, when the secondary wasn't such a liability, defense was fine. DL was better because we had space eaters like Omari and Elijah, and ONL was a disruptive force. McCoy and Gibson were playing great at CB. Everything clicked. But this year, we failed to replace the missing parts, so the defense often collapses. That said, Banks is a horrible safeties coach. Apparently, he has trouble identifying talent at the position. Or maybe developing it. Or maybe both. I just know we haven't seen great safety play while he's been here.
Are you intentionally trying to misread this?So he's saying he should not have been available but he was put on the field anyway?
