Tim Banks defense...

[Hunter10139]

...carried us today along with special teams. Can some of you stop calling for him to be fired after an opponent has one good drive?

 

[ftsandersvol]

Defense was stout today. Probably the reason we won.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

NOBODY can talk about our defense today. Now Milton on the other hand....

Martinez gotta go

 

[VolinMichigan]

Absolutely have to give it up for Banks and the defense. They won this game.

 

[UTK]

Defense is talented. Still think Banks blows it serval times a game though. Maybe the first half of the UF game is just unforgivable to me lol

Not true at all. At least a C+. Came up big late

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

I see this term thrown around in the game thread all the time but rarely in support of our coaches.

Outcoached.

I've always said the problem is either him or Martinez.
And I think Banks is a solid DC but don't feel he brings consistency to win championships unless we find another Hooker.
But again cut loose Martinez and we'll see.
The secondary has been really good for consecutive weeks. We'll see how they hold up on Milroe's deep ball.

Every week its either:
- Tim Banks needs to be fired

or

- Tim Banks saved us.

This. Yall can check my post history if you'd like...i never trash Banks. Even last season with the worst secondary in the SEC we were at the top of the conference in TFL and were stout against the run. He is a proven coach and has developed our talent well and schemed well also. The SC game last season is his only really bad game.

Martinez however is a different story.

 

[Grudenator]

Love the defense, I just don’t understand lining up 10 yards off the receivers ever play

 

[Creeker]

Martinez is much more of a concern than Banks to me, but his DBs came up clutch and slammed the door shut on A&M today.

2 interceptions excellent tackling gives up 13 points. Just what the heck you want

 

[barney]

D played well and is definitely improving, but we still see questionable play calls from Banks too often.

 

[ENGRVOL]

When you only allow 13 points in modern college football all facets of your defense played pretty well

 

[BradstarVols]

Played great. In the first half I think banks was blitzing too much though considering how good the front four is.

Simplest of things.

DBs turning their heads.
Db's not playing 10 yards off every play.
Db's using the sideline leverage.

U know...the stuff ur taught by a competent DB coach in high school.

The least points scored by A&M this season. Go Vols

You can't give the DBs a D- when they got 2 crucial INTs.

Stay w that narrative
Completely stupid and wrong but hey, who cares right?

If you seriously think this secondary is better than that...I don't know what to tell u. We watch different games. Every. Week

It's OK Willie Jr.
You can have your opinion as well as I can have mine.

I'll stick with it

DBs had one of their better games actually.
