Defensive Scheme is Terrible

[voltoo]

Tenneesse apparently forgot how to set the edge. The defensive end has to get across the line of scrimmage and force outside runs inside to the linebackers. Tennessee" defensive interior lineman are big but they are slow. Our pass rush was ineffective when you continue to let the quarterback run for first downs virtually everytime you blitz. I can't believe how wide open the receivers on midrange passes to the sidelines. It looked like number (#0) was lost. Our backend guys are awful. Martinez does not develop defensive backs. GA fired Martinez for a reason . We are really missing the linebacker from BYU.

On the offensive side we don't have any fast wide receivers other than White after Thorton went out. Ollie Lane maybe setting records for holding calls.

Overall this was a very one sided loss like South Carolina last year. Watch Ole Miss beat UGA tonight.

How many games has Banks really impressed anyone in big games?

He was a made man after the aTm game.

I saw many of our defenders out of position. Plenty of times I saw 44 in the wrong spot creating a gap. I think I saw many stunts where the DL got tangled up. All of this created monster gaps for runs. You can put some on the players. You have to put plenty on Banks for not adjusting sooner when you see your players not being able to implement what you call.

44 had a really bad day

The playcalling sucks worse than the scheme. MU's OC made a fool out of Banks.

Clemson

Yeah it was bad. I think they finally pulled him towards the end of the game.

Clemson

Everyone has looked good against Clemson.

OCs from Columbia MO to Columbia SC have made a fool out of Third Choice. I refuse moving forward to call him by his name.

 

[Good2bavol]

I agree that Banks is not the guy, but we also need better players in the secondary. Let's face it, I could look good as a defensive coordinator with the Georgia secondary.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

There is 0 chance he’s back next season. And I’m not sure he wants part of this any longer. Heupel has to get every hire right going forward. Need elite recruiters and elite developers.

 

[Cartervol]

Needs a serious upgrade on that side of the ball.. Can't play that way and win anything meaningful in this conference..Guys are either not picking up what they’re asking them to do or the scheme is setting them up for failure.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Hire Derek Mason and be done with it.

 

[VB_Vol]

They ran the same 3 plays all night and we couldn’t stop it.

If our offense didn’t suck, the defensive scheme would have us sitting 9-1 right now

 

[EtowahVol]

Banks = Chavis.

 

[lacrossepro70]

Linebackers had a really rough day. Not having Carter hurt. Herring is too slow. Beasley is inconsistent. Losing McDonald sucked as well

The defense’s inability to get off the field hampered the offensive play calling today

Banks = Chavis.

Banks < Chavis

 

[EricberryFAN]

I think it has much more to do with the players than the scheme. Before we lost Hadden, we were very, very good.

Our dline did that, the problem was the LBs didn’t show

No. You realize Mizzou had a 20 play drive that took up most of the first quarter. If our D could get a stop, how many 4td and longs did we give up, the O would have 3 or 4 more possessions.

Why do you think Pili was the starter? He was the type of athletic leader the team has missed. He is experienced, smart, and can cover in space. We don't look like we're stuck in molasses with him on the field.
