No, we just need ours to turn around.

No, we just need ours to turn around.

You can't turn around and look for the ball unless you stay in contact with the receiver. We need faster CBs with better hips.

I'll exaggerate for effect.

Why don't I run like Usain Bolt?

They recruit better defensive backs is the biggest reason they are always good at that position.

 

[MWAVolfan]

Coaching means everything. No matter how many 4* and 5* you have.

Well, are you........ no, I'm not going there. Lol

 

[ReaderVol]

talent means everything. No matter if they are 4* and 5*.

Fyp

 

[utvolorange]

We need to recruit SEC talent instead of Big East talent.

Shot across the Willie!

Not that good but year after year they turn out talent and just had a first round pick in VH3. When's the last time Tennessee had one?

 

[tm3]

Why?

Here is a clue:

Butch Jones and Tennessee have an alarming deficiency developing talent

 

[vol-un-tear]

Coach it

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

Gray came up under Bud Foster.

Martinez came up under Brian VanGorder.

Which one is still employed as a defensive coordinator this season?

That's the problem. Moseley and Foreman are projects

The Gators DBs got lit up just as bad as ours did vs Bama and I think during the 2nd half of our game vs the Gators Dobbs Jennings and Malone exposed them as overrated. In short I don't think they are that much better.

 

[utvols74]

At the beginning of the season, I truly thought that a backfield of Dobbs/Hurd/Kamara would be a trio that no defense would want to tangle with. Of course, all three rarely saw the field at the same time (if ever), most of the time signaled their intentions when on the field and all in all left many underwhelmed at the lack of creativity and imagination form coaching. If you can't run over / block down DLs, then you must out-scheme them.

So this experience, plus what has been stated in this article offers partial explanation for why UT is 8-4 instead of SECE-champions and 11-2 (with 2 losses to the evil empire).

Which school is DB U? Ohio State, Miami lead top contenders - NFL.com

Historically we've been solid with DB's, arguably just as good as UF.

 

[FleeceItOut]

Need to get the DB coaches from Auburn.

 

[landscapingvol]

I would say it is a combination of Martinez just not being very good and recruiting misses. The staff really whiffed with Foreman, and Mosely. The injuries to TKjr and Sutton didn't help matters.

 

[KingtUT]

maybe it's the jorts?

 

[fade route]

Moseley and Foreman have no business playing in the SEC imo.

 

[Iam4utalways]

It's called being over confident. They start the play thinking " I'm about to get me a pick six, oh no I'm burnt deep." Our offense goes 3 and out. Here he goes again "I'm about to get me a pick six, oh no I'm burnt deep." The worst part, 2 different players. Stop gambling so much, we can stop them without having to make great plays, just more of the regular ones.

Beat Nebraska!

Perhaps if our front 7 played like Floriduh's our DB's wouldn't look so bad...but that's hard to do when you're forced to play 3rd string DT's and walk on LB's.

 

[JAMESFROMCT]

our Db's are like 185lbs.....their DB's are like 215
