Agreed. I generally don't have a problem with the corner play the last couple of years. It wasn't the weakest part of our defense. Now, linebackers, safeties, defensive scheme, poor tackling, and angles? Phew.Why do y'all not understand that Banks calls the plays and coverage. Corners have been fine the last 3 years. Martinez is Not the problem, BANKS is!!!
You usually have some good takes, this is not one of them. This team would need to hire a real DC, and add at least a dozen of quality portal help, Joey Aguilar or a really good transfer QB and Heupel to manage clock much better and to put the foot on the opponent throat when given the chance. If you they do all of this, maybe they win 9-10 games, probably looking at 7 wins as it stands right now. That could change later.I think 2026 is the year the Volunteers return to Atlanta after a nearly two-decade absence. Whether 11-1 or 10-2 gets us there, we'll have to wait and see. To get 11-1, a couple of games (looking at you Bama, UTjr and A&M) would have to have the ball bounce our way.
And after Atlanta (hopefully with trophy in hand), we head for the playoffs for the second time in three years. And this time, we're hosting a game in Neyland (if we don't get a bye altogether).
Go Vols!
