Vols Rushing D #3 in SEC

[KnoxToTheBoro93]

I'm not!

He has played in 25 career games and doesnt have ONE Int...
Hadden has 3 Ints in the last 5 games.

Burrell can stay right where he is. On the bench.

We need the coaches to play our freshman edge rushers more. Not start them.
But play them much more than they're doing now. It made a difference in the UF game.

Banks and Heupel need to stop being so 1990 on defensive personnel rotation.

Lol because you are at practice and see what goes on right ? Heup is building a culture where players who deserve and earn playing time will play… it shocks me at how many people think they know more than the coaching staff who get paid to do this and are with the team wayyyyy more than we are… please explain how they are so 1990 with anything ? We rotate Quite a bit on defense.

 

[BigALWiLson]

LSU QB will have a field day throwing the ball if we don’t get better in the back end. Look at his stats, they are as good if not better than HH.

Are you serious ?

They have PS controllers in their hands, know how "easy" it is, and want to sit in the stands and call the plays on their controllers. It's ridiculous.

I’d guess it’s partly because our strategy each week is to make teams beat us with their arms.

 

[WoodsmanVol]

At 98 yards/game, Vols trail only Alabama (62) and Georgia (86) among SEC teams.
Is this because we have good DLine talent and a good scheme, or because it's easy to throw on us?
Vols passing D is 3rd from worst in all of FBS at 310 yards/game.
Is there a fix for the horrible pass D or do we just have to sweat it out every week?

There is a solution. We could play dirty like Ball State. But then, that would make things worse for sure.Ball State and others get away with such, blessed by the refs. Vols treated the same? NNAAWW!

 

[Cartervol]

The tackling was really bad last week in the back 7. That's the first thing they need to clean up. UF found way too many holes in that zone they were playing ,that's coaching.. Tennessee has some problems in the back 7 only recruiting and maybe a couple of position coach changes can fix.

Two lockdown Corners!

LSU's quarterback is a run first qb.He was that at Ariz.St.Box his ass in the pocket,and have some fun.

Look at the average YPC allowed. The defensive line is pretty good and you have to give props to RG.

He’s been pretty good.

We have two committed for the next class. May take another recruiting cycle to shore it up for good.

I would blitz every down the first few series, if he beats you so be it. Sack his a$$ and get pressure afew time and get him rattled

Play man til they force me to play zone. Opposite of how they approached the Florida game.

He's good at running the ball as well...

 

[vol94]

TN has talent in the front seven along with some depth to stop the run. They even get pressure at times, esp Pitt, during last plays.
However, the secondary is hurting us. One could see the WR get open as the olay developed. We tried man and zone, both. Our safeties aren’t as athletic as they need to be so “it is what it is” at this point.

My hope is the defense can get off the field onn3rd down instead of teams going for it on 4th and 2 or 3. There were missed tackles by our DBs vs. Florida, but again, some of that is their receivers were more athletic than our DBs. The DBs took bad angles and then the fundamentals begin to disappear when a player becomes tired.

 

[TennVols12]

He’s basically Russell Wilson, RGIII, Cam Newton, Joe Burrow, and Tim Tebow all combined. Much better than any other QB we’ll play this season. We’ve actually already lost to LSU because of how good he is. 4-1

 

[walkenvol]

I think Garner’s Dline is the strongest unit on defensive. Better talent and more depth than the secondary.

Is Thomas the only top 100 recruit on our D line? Young is certainly talented, but he took a unconventional path to UT. Garner is getting the most out of guys who weren’t highly ranked - the dude knows how to coach! Wish we could find a couple more position coaches on D who can coach guys up as much as Garner does his group.

Play more aggressive in coverages and blitzes

 

[DaddyChad]

I’d guess because our run defense is average, at best, but our pass defense is gosh awful. Imo

Run defense is pretty stout. Dline looks very good and deep overall. DBs are terrible

 

[DaddyChad]

Does anyone seriously want to play press coverage with the guys we currently have? We’re getting burned with ten yard cushions.

The front is playing well. I suspect the priority is to stop the run knowing that's what opponents would prefer to do. They would like to run and keep the ball away from UT. Unfortunately, the scheme, playcalling, and secondary aren't holding up against the pass.

 

[DaddyChad]

They would force you to play zone after the first series. Seriously we don’t have DBs capable of playing press man. You gonna run man defense against Florida and AR with his running ability?

 

[LittleVol]

They have PS controllers in their hands, know how "easy" it is, and want to sit in the stands and call the plays on their controllers. It's ridiculous.

Ive not played video games in 15 years.

You all wanting Burrell out there, are insane.

You want to hide behind WHAT YOU THINK the coaches are thinking lol. And use that to justify a player that routinely gets beat in every part of the actual game.

As if coaches don't ever get fired...
Not like I was even questioning them anyway. So you and that other fool's take is illogical and irrelevant.

While our pass defense might turn the LSU QB Jayden Daniels into a hero, his numbers are not very good so far.

LBs are a huge part of the run D too
