Defense is not fixable.

UCLA's defense in 2005 was probably on par with the one UT is fielding this season. They fired Larry Kerr and brought in DeWayne Walker. The D still had some weaknesses, but Walker masked them pretty well. They were a top 30 defense in 2006. Our defense is not permanently broken. There's someone out there that can correct it. Whoever it is doesn't reside in Knoxville.

Well, Larry Lacewell is living here in Jonesboro again and might come back for a couple of years:crazy:

I'm still dreading playing Arkansas McFadden and Jones just might run for over 200 yards apiece against us :no:

Well all you gotta do is put 8 in the box against Arkansas. They cant throw the ball at all.

asuato is right. Casey Dick ain't JPW in any shape, form or fashion. If we don't load up the box against the hogheads, the coaching staff is whacked.

yeah they have a horrible QB situation over there in Fayettenam(what we call Fayetteville in Jonesboro). I heard they did get Monk back but he only had a couple of short catches against FIU. STUPID of him not to redshirt. Shut down the run and they are beat.

The same thing was said last year before we played Arkansas. When DMac and Jones weren't running all over us, Dick and Monk were having career days compared to what they were used to.

1 year later, we're in the same position. Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it (or however it goes).

Actually, if we play our cards right and use this week to start preparing for Arkansas (La-Laf is terrible) we should run the table untill the Kentucky game. Then we simply have to outscore them in a shootout.

As bad as it was, our D was still trying in the end, unlike the Bama and Florida disasters.

Agree 100 percent.

Our defense will improve alot.....................in 2008.

The defense is very suspect, but the point remains there are a couple of freshmen starting in the backfield due to injuries. Just saying.....

You can throw on UT all night long. That is not a problem that has just recently come about as a result of having a couple freshmen in the backfield. You've always been able to throw on us. Go back and look at season after season. Other teams always have receivers that are WF open, no one within 5-10 yards of them. You can connect on 10 yard passes anytime you want on us. Beginning of the 4th quarter it seems we automatically go into some type of bizarro prevent defense and let people just march right down field. Simple fact, our D Backs suck. Year after year. Common denominator, the coaching. Doesn't matter if you've got two freshmen or not.

We did make some adjustments at halftime,we fell asleep or apart, which ever you prefer to call it. Chavis needs to totally start over again with this defense. Its called coaching. To many missed tackles, too much cushion on pass defense.

:stop:I personally would prefer that Chavis start over with a new defense somewhere else besides Tennessee.:angel:
