Jeremy Banks out tonight

[onthehill71]

After what he pulled this week I’d just send him home for good.

He tried to demand more NIL money and then tried to force the issue by skipping/being late to practice. Just being a selfish and shortsighted idiot.

Got any proof or just an internet rumor?

Well it's true his presence wouldn't have made much difference, unless he could simultaneously pressure the QB and cover all receivers at the same time. We have nobody else playing defense tonight.

You really just have to do one or the other and he can tackle/pressure the QB. About no one else on our defense can tackle

I thought over time Tim Banks could get it done.

Time is up…..too much embarrassment. The O is too good for the D to be this bad.

He got to go.

Time to go out and get a LEGIT DC.

Right not I’d do whatever I could to try and get Phil Parker. Surely he’s tired of having a good D but no offense.

I was flamed for not wanting him back after his nonsense with the cops. My stance remains the same.

 

[hardyemt_p]

Regardless, He sure was missed tonight. Became a beast for our defense! If true better pay the man before we lose to vandy!

Where are you hearing this?

 

[Velo Vol]

One would have thought we lost two or three 1st team SEC players to have this kind of drop off.

Brutal.

Beginning to smell bs on thus. Proof?

I’m not posting the text exchange just to get some e-cred from strangers. Choose to believe it or not.

The fact that all it took was our starting MLB to be out for one game for our defense to fall apart is pretty damning for Tim Banks. Worst defensive performance in a few decades for Tennessee.

I don't give out "e cred".. Do whatever...

 

[Switch 625]

I guess you could say Tim Banks didn’t show up tonight either.

Worst defensive performance I think I've ever seen from a Tennessee defense. Worse that Sunseri's defense..... and that's saying something...

I didn’t see a thread on this, but rumors are Banks was upset about NIL, hasn’t been going to class, and tried fighting Hooker in the locker room this week. Not good, not good at all. If this is true we have a locker room issue.

It may be more than him not playing. If he did that and the other players knew it, it could affect the spirit of the whole defense.

 

[TheGoodStuff]

I wouldn’t be shocked about this. I’ve wondered if the Srs and Jrs were getting paid or left out while everyone else got paid.
something was way off tonight

And where did you hear these "rumors"?

 

[VolForLife83]

And you heard this where

 

[tampavolsfan]

Where exactly did you come across this “rumor?”

Let’s wait and see what happened. No need to speculate. Our playoff hopes are over. We have Vandy and a bowl game with the potential for Milton to start his first game this season. The next two games should be a kick off to his leadership next season and taking some momentum into the offseason.

 

[allvol123]

I hope that is BS.

 

[DuckInAPen]

If true, it's like reliving 2016 with the inexplicable loss in Columbia due, as we later found out, to dissension in the lockerroom. Something was deeply wrong tonight.

 

[AllVols]

God I hope that's not right.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I’m not going to gossip. Doesn’t matter what happened to Banks. I don’t want to use him as an excuse. We embarrassed ourselves today. One player should never cause this to happen….

 

[DC_Vol]

And where did you hear these "rumors"?

I got it from a pretty good source.

I’ve never met the guy but my friend shares some of his Facebook posts with me and he seems pretty legit.
