Inge is our next DC imo.

Should move him there today. I do not want to see our DEs 15 yards downfield on a telegraphed easily beat zone blitz on a passing play ever again, nor do I want our safeties guarding grass 25 yards downfield on 3rd and 6 anymore and I’d rather the goal not to be to get them to 3rd and 3 or 4 and make a stop. And lastly I’d rather not give up 6-10 minute drives every game which deflates the sideline and affects offensive rhythm.

Dude, our defense last year was the best it has been in MANY years, and the overall talent level on both our defense and our offense is skyrocketing. Many Vol fans have the patience of a two year-old.

Banks is a borderline elite DC

In big games, our defense hasn’t been there. We have given high 3rd down % and long drives in multiple big games against decent qbs. OSU toyed with us. It is what it is.
I stated my reasons and specific calls/schemes. He/we need better or to do better in the things I mentioned
Now back to a great pickup.

Relationships STILL matter. That is what this commitment came down to. Texas made a VERY strong push over the last month to month and a half, and there was some optimism in Austin that they could come in and get this one done, but Tennessee won out. And they won out because of the relationships Rouse and his family have with the staff and the entire building in Knoxville. That is what it came down to.

This was a BIG win for the Vols. Great day overall with two commits. And I don't think they are done this week.

On Rouse though, this was a BIG get for many reasons, but here are some quick thoughts on him since I have been around him a lot the last two years:

+ An ATH with so much potential
+ Unselfish (GREAT player, but a guy others want to play beside and compete with every day)
+ Smart (close to 4.0 GPA)
+ Mature (Talks like a 30+ year old with real-life experience)
+ Will be a leader

this was a GREAT win on the trail for Tennessee.
