No way the 1st team safeties dominate our 1stI agree with Doug somewhat. Move Calloway to CB .
McCullugh and Flowers continue to get beat in coverage. Two veterans that are used to being beat all game long. But they dominate in practice. Bench them
Move Charles back to safety.
Hadden has a shaky game but, he still made plays as well against Florida and otherwise has been very good all the other games

4-3-4 makes little sense. We are stopping the run effectively. The secondary needs the support.He didn’t mince words on his Sunday morning radio show.
Said the secondary is just not SEC caliber. Said he’d rather see untested but more athletic freshmen see more playing time than the veterans.
Also thinks we should move some wide receivers to the secondary during the bye week.
Maybe go to a 4-3-4 instead of the current 4-2-5.
Ahh the Lincoln Reilly Oklahoma approachTennessee’s defensive scheme is predicated on their prolific offense. Heupel is gambling that we are going to outscore almost all opponents, therefore it‘s “keep the plays in front of us” and don’t give up easy scores. Ultimately, the only “stat” that really matters is the final score.

Doesn’t seem realistic to convert a receiver to corner and have him up to speed in 2 weeks. The ones that have been practicing and playing for years still don’t know how to do it. They are all we have to work with. I like the idea of putting more pressure on the quarterback and giving him less time. Maybe they will have to stick to short hot routes.I agree with Doug somewhat.

Maybe Banks needs to pick his own secondary coach.Folks it the Coach. I cringed when Hep named him to the staff. Martinez He was here with Butch and was terrible and still is. He's been more places than a hobo. Look at his Bio. Sometime back maybe 25-30 years we had a group of DB's that led the SEC and the Nation with INT's Who was the guy? Had some insane number for the year like in the 20's
Carl Pickens is the only guy I’ve ever seen as a Vol who could be prolific both ways. Switching mid-season has rarely produced SEC-level results.Doesn’t seem realistic to convert a receiver to corner and have him up to speed in 2 weeks.
