Defense

[ChristianaVol]

I’m as ready as any Vol fan to get some Big Nasties on our offensive line to shore up our offense, but I’ve got to say that I am excited about some of the flashes of greatness to come in our defense. I definitely think we are in good hands from a coaching perspective there.

Gonna get tired fast with this offense

Yep. The line is killing us.

 

[BucksnortVol]

A disastrous scenario is unfolding right before our eyes. Our O-Line play is back to being predictably terrible. And since we can't move the ball, our D is going to wear down, because we have no quality depth there. By mid way of the third quarter we are going to be in some deep kimchee unless Helton and Pruitt figure out Mizzou's defensive schemes hot quick. Guarantano is going to be as beat up and crippled as Nathan Peterman was five years ago if this keeps up. We are being out played and out coached too.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Inconsistent OL play. Just another day being a TN fan.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Looks like you guys who want JG out will get your wish.. He was heading to the locker room.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Finally, a correct call by a SEC Ref.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Bad pass on first play.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Second pass was pretty good.

 

[ThePruittTrain]

I wonder how many free touchdowns we are going to give them, before we realize you can't blitz locke every single drive.

Coaching yes. Players, we need them all over the place.

The defense seems to be lethargic in the second half .

Not today

 

[BJWeeks]

Defense not being coached worth crap today

 

[77' Vol]

NO pressure on QB. Can't win like that. Playing Vandy next week is going to be for the State Championship/ a bowl / recruiting momentum / and a decent season. If not, then all we can say is we played harder and were at least competitive. Bah humbug if that happens.

Lol. Is this a joke? These players are failing to execute the simplest things like tackling.

They are gassed man

They are gassed man

They shouldnt be after halftime. Their tackling ability is equivalent to a middle school team. I cannot understand how this defense played so great against teams like Auburn and UK but is playing this bad against Missouri.

 

[BreatheUT]

They are gassed man

This argument is pathetic. We are moving the football. If they are gassed it is because they can't get off the field but I agree this is Not a coaching problem.

 

[ChristianaVol]

They are gassed man

Defense is worn out from lack of depth and number of minutes on the field.

I hope we can recruit some linebackers that will be a driving force in the D. The defensive backs are having to make way to many tackles.

Bingo

In general linebackers aren't great but neither are our safeties.
