Where is Jeremy Banks?

[Hbg]

Jeremy Banks? Maybe I missed him in the Bama game but I don’t remember seeing him. If he played he wasn’t in the stats.

 

[T2Vol]

I believe he’s dealing with an injury

 

[stevenrich2003]

He was in Knoxville last time I saw him.

 

[Tnphil]

Listed as a leg injury...Believe they said he was in a walking boot the 2nd half of the KY game.

 

[1982Alum]

Does he have to check in with you daily? Geez.

 

[VolRage]

I don’t know. Maybe he doesn’t practice well so Pruitt’s making him sit the bench. To hell with playing the best players and winning. Welcome to “Life’s Lessons” U.

Well he does incur a lot of stupid penalties....

 

[Bubbs]

Hurt and him and Crouch are two of the slowest LBs I’ve ever seen on film. Mentally and physically.

 

[orangemadam]

Doesn't matter. We only have 1 LB to speak of, and he has his weaknesses.

He definitely has his strengths as well...Bama did a very good job of getting a blocker on him most of the game - almost like they studied film and knew that he was such a key to our run D. We need to recruit more players who can be dominate in the 3-4 set. A dominating nose tackle can really help the inside linebackers just as dominating DEs can help the outside LBs.

Banks is hurt.

 

[PG1]

Alone with his thoughts of how to get the next dumb 15 yard penalty.

Ankle sprain - they don't comment on injuries so hard to know how severe.

If you think half assing at practice should be rewarded with game day playing time...

I dont even know how to verbalize how silly you are with out being a complete ass...so lets just leave it at silly..

 

[MiramarVol]

He's an injured Vol, but some waterboys want to rag on him in order to receive likes from other hanks on here. Sad day on VN.

This.

Banks is hurt. He is a hyper-aggressive young player. The criticisms here are premature. Some are dumb. He needs experience and will become a very good player.

Do all you guys have to be so negative ? There are more recruits ran off from the negative comments... I’m a UT grad and I’m so tired of the comments

What is there to be positive about?

 

[bamavol53]

They could be 0-5 two of those loses to top 2 teams in the sec. not going to get much better before they find a quarterback that can read a blitz when he sees it.

 

[BigOrangeCrush32]

Like most have stated, he is injured. He will be a fine LB, maybe even great, but he has to get his emotions under control and play with a CONTROLLED Rage. He will learn to not go to far on the unsportsmanlike penalties. He is very talented.

Crouch is too, once him a dn Banks become more comfortable in the position, they will be a legitimate force. They won't be playing as slow as they are currently.

 

[keenobserver]

Does he have to check in with you daily? Geez.

I hope he checks in with someone daily, preferably at curfew....

 

[dobre_shunka]

Dang, I totally misread this thread.

I went a got a magnifying glass and put my red and white hat on when I saw the title

I just re-read what I wrote and I didn’t say anything about half a$$ing anything. Do you think Josh Dobbs just half a$$ed practice? Trying new things, trying really hard to be relevant, taking chances you normally wouldn’t take in a game sometimes makes for a bad practice. Without being a complete a$$ it just seems silly that you would put words in my mouth....so let’s just leave it at silly.
