Tim Banks

[Volarious]

…..is terrible. But thank goodness for the win! Go Vols!

 

[BleedOrange81]

He has to go..wait must go..

 

[Frosty]

Tim Banks playcalling I was fine with. Hadden is hot dog water but sealed the deal. Once these new cats get in, I think we will see a lot of improvement.

 

[Birdie]

We could use some more horses but his conservatism put us in that situation. 38-21 and he handed them 2 TD's with little resistance.

 

[PandamoniumReigns]

I'll defer judgment until he gets more secondary depth. He's not playing with a full deck.

But more pressure on AR would've been nice since it's obvious he caves under pressure.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Lol, he’s not going anywhere.

 

[CR-vol]

Defense is still thin but much improved over last year. We'll be fine.

 

[pharmDvol11]

Vols favored. Vols won. 4-0. Life sucks.

One of these is not like the other…

…..is terrible. But thank goodness for the win! Go Vols!

When he put Herring in he got a QB pressure. When Josephs got in he damn near got a sack.
1) They need to rotate more.
2) MUCH MORE

Those Flordia guys were tired too. Should have used the young guys to rush and blitz to let the old guys be more fresh.. We'd have 7 in coverage and they could never cover 3 routes. So why even play that zone?! He had over 300 yards when playing against our zone!!

 

[perico]

Yeah the young guys aren't quite ready for the SEC full time and you don't put them in positions to fail. The run defense was great today. We shut down their running game completely and forced Richardson to win the game. It was ugly, but it worked.

Seriously, was there ANY doubt that our defense was going to get soft and complacent with a 17-point lead and that Florida was going to take advantage to make it interesting? Safest bet of the night--but super-glad with the victory. Our game plan is simple: Out-score the opponent.

 

[rwemyss]

Yeah, the attempt at "prevent" was a disaster. Should have just played the defense we had the entire second half up to that point. I don't get it at all. Made the game FAR closer than it should have been.

Really just saw that the secondary is porous. Made Richardson look like Peyton down the field. Not sure how that gets fixed in a hurry. Definitely have to continue to try and pressure the QB.

 

[KeyVol14]

Defense plays great when they blitz and call aggressive schemes. We don’t have the DBs yet to play zone coverage

 

[Volarious]

Lol, he’s not going anywhere.

LOL at yourself. Banks conservative defense almost cost us that game. He’s awful.

Like it or not Florida just played much better than they did against UK and USF. AR 15 brought his A-Game, but we still prevailed.

Hadden had a bad day. The secondary missed several tackles too. Florida was known to have a good OL.

Our defensive game plan was to contain AR make him beat us with his arm. He and Pearsall almost did, that guy was open all day.

 

[pharmDvol11]

Georgia gave up 22 pts to Kent State. Hope they fire their DC too

 

[landscapingvol]

…..is terrible. But thank goodness for the win! Go Vols!

I get it, our defense is not good and we can’t stop anyone with a pulse but for the life of me I can’t understand why we don’t blitz more. We have nothing to lose

 

[volfeeva]

When Tn had the ball with less than 4 minutes left, that was bad clock management/play calling. IMHO they should have tried to get another 1st down instead of just running up the middle for no gain 4 times---even if it meant passing the ball. With 4 minutes left TN game plan should have been to keep the ball out of AR's hands at all cost.

 

[Powder and shot]

Our defense was just a brake: slow gatas down but couldn't stop

 

[VOLtaism]

Logically, the only reason to play such a weak defensive scheme is no confidence in the players. It looked like they were just trying to keep the football in front of them. They did stop their running game cold all night. Can't expect to beat a good offensive team with that strategy.

 

[mbh422]

It's Florida. Richardson will never throw that well for the rest of the year! We should have put on More steam!

 

[VOLATNES]

It was definitely a heart attack waiting to happen. But it happens. 1998 had a couple of those games too. Alabubba had one against a mediocre Texas. Part of college kids. I’ll take ugly wins over SEC rivals any day.

 

[GrizzlyVol]

Hadden and Burrell are well terrible, they're trying no doubt, this recruiting class should help out GO VOLS...4-0

Hopefully, but our secondary is always 10 yards away from the catch. Need to tighten it up
