1. We are 3 games in and I’m still waiting on our DBs to make a play. They do not anticipate throws. They do not jump routes. They do not play the ball well when it’s in the air. This is a problem.
2. It seems like all of our DBs have the same skill set and it is that of a below average safety. Who is evaluating these guys? Where are the true corners? Where is the speed? Where is the length? And I don’t mean height… I mean length.
3. Where are Jordan Mathews and Ricky Gibson III? Cornerback is one of our weakest positions. How have these kids not played yet?
Behind each of these concerns is a snowball of other concerns but I don’t want to be too doom and gloom. If our coaching staff doesn’t figure out how to produce playmakers in the secondary, they will not bring a championship to Knoxville. I don’t care how high powered the offense is or isn’t. Championship teams have playmakers in the secondary.
