did you notice?

This is for the guys who really understand defensive schemes. Knowing that Pavia is a dual threat QB, I kept seeing this huge gap between the corners/safeties and the line that he was constantly able to exploit for big yards. Why didn't Tenn. pull the linebackers into that space to bottle up the run game? Better five yards than fifteen.

They actually did it on the drive of Pavia’s second INT. They pretty much settled with keeping Pavia in front of them, and allowing him 3-4 yards per carry. He eventually got frustrated and tried to force a pass downfield into double coverage which was picked.

We then refused to use this same gameplan the remainder of the night. It made absolutely no sense.

This seems to be a pattern with this coaching staff…if it’s working, quit doing it.

My dad was like why didn’t we spy Pavia and it wasn’t until he said that I was like dang he’s right.

I know last yr our D was pretty good, but, with Banks as DC that was the only time. I think we need a change, and quick!

Whether we refused to use the same plan or the players didn't execute it we don't know.

Either way it's Banks responsibility. Has he mentioned at all this year the performance on the field is unacceptable or has he basically hidden out? I haven't wasted my time watching all the interviews.

There's the million questions. Why?

Everyone knew it was coming. Yet, we rolled out the red carpet for him to run

Buddy, my six year old could’ve told you Pavia was gonna run the ball. Truly understanding defensive schemes is not needed. He’s done it all year. We chose you ignore it.

They punted once, at some point you change it up, be super aggressive, take gambles, what do you have to lose if they are scoring every drive.

You got that right. Watching the interviews is truly a waste of time.

 

[CNCVol88]

Yes I noticed banks can't scheme.

 

[StarRaider]

You got it backwards. Watching the interviews is wasting time.

if watching the interviews is wasting time, making the interview was wasted time too

Maybe the defense is like the offense in that they only go by scripted plays and, that’s only the first three series?

This was one of the things Kevin Simon was so upset about after the game. That, and the lack of any alphas in the middle of the field, noting that no one seemed to have any pride back there, and they were afraid to be physical.
