Secondary is so much more competent with man coverage. No more 3rd down zone calls, please

 

[Big Orange#1]

Wild how far the defense has fallen after being so good last year.

We played very few offenses with a pulse to be able to cook Banks horrific schemes last season.

Last year was an anomaly due to the D line being so go and McCoy locking down a side at corner.

3rd and Banks will lose us a game we shouldn’t lose.

[Big Orange#1]

3rd an 15 an 3rd an 10 conversions. It’s been a problem all year

Third (and fourth) and Banks

We also had elite dudes on the DL and in the secondary

Ik that SUUUCKED but what I see is Tim banks running the same plays until they get it right. Boo is not a corner. He is a safety/Runningback.

Florida or Vanderbilt prolly

Yes, look at the GA game. Did anyone have confidence we could stop 3rd down in that game?

Before anyone freaks out, these are the games where you get your young guys experience. You don't just automatically know where to be on the field by heart or how to best break on the ball immediately. You have to get game reps. These young guys are in the "overthinking" phase. In their head, they're going "where do I go where do I go". After a couple of games, they'll start thinking "I'm going here I'm going here". And eventually, it'll just be "GO!" Just give em time.

That looked like it was on Redmond. He straight up left his man, and then that guy proceeded to score due to poor tackling. Beasley looked out of position on the 3 and 15. Any case, yuck.

 

[Garren04]

Our 3rd and 4th down defensive play calls have been atrocious this year. The thing is you are allowed to adjust! Which we’ve yet to do.

 

[volfaninpa]

I think Redmond didn't pick up that receiver soon enough.

Banks both played zone and sent pressure and the players got beat on both.

A number of young guys were on the field as well. I hope UT can sneak out the win.

 

[jakez4ut]

3rd and 15 in their own territory and they march down the field like they’re Georgia or Ohio State.

Well..Coverage seemed optional. As did tackling... So....

That was not our best effort... Play calling or execution of what was called.

Maybe that was tape possession? Lots of teaching moments on display there.

The poor fundamentals of lining up, understanding assignments regardless of movement and tackling are atrocious. Just don't have faith this DC is championship caliber.

 

[rocktopper16]

Florida or S. Carolina prolly

Don’t play S.Carolina.

 

[Weezer]

We let them score. Time to fahr Banks!

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

Don’t play S.Carolina.

Meant to say Vandy lol

 

[BigSteve09]

2nd quarter flatline strikes again

Damndest thing

 

[UTK]

It’s not that teams score it’s the stupidity in which they score. Pretty much every time there’s some long 3rd down given up or a fourth down.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Refs

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Sheesh.

 

[UTK]

Holy **** refs are you bored or something

If you can’t look at our third down D and our soft zone as a consistent problem, you are not watching. It’s not that they scored, it’s a consistent problem that never gets better.
