Coach Huepel any coach that has anything to do
with coaching our secondary need to be gone. This is one area with some of the young talent we have to get major upgrade in coaching before Martinez and crew screws them up.

unless Banks gets hired elsewhere, he is going no where and he has safeties. I doubt Martinez leaves either

Its funny how when a DB does ACCIDENTALLY turn his head to track the ball... he makes a play. Ever notice that? Its INSANE!!! Its shear luck, Im sure.

watching Oregon - Utah right not. Saw Utah DB turn his head and WR got behind him for a TD. That is the main reason I've heard multiple secondary coaches say they encourage DBs to NOT lose sight of the WR. they like for them to read the WRs and turn when receiver gives indication of making a play on the ball. WR coaches "love it" when watching film and catching DBs "peaking" as they call it.

They also coach them to remain in physical contact, with a hand or forearm, while looking back.

I know I might get some negatives for this but promote an analyst from the staff and bring over VFL Monterio Hardesty! Make them co-def back coaches. Win, win!!!!

I think we are just not very talented (outside of Hadden) in the defensive backfield. Believe it is difficult for those guys to execute as coached.

Martinez is not the only problem, so is Banks!

I think they can replace Martinez with anyone else and the philosophy on cornerback play doesn't change. Banks has the defensive philosophy and they will play as he wishes.

You have to be able to read the receiver....You don't run the whole route looking back to the ball....You read the body actions of the receiver and turn your head as the ball approaches. The WR isn't running down the field with his hands and arms up...that happens as the ball is approaching.

Just watching the Titans-Falcons game and a Titans DB made a great play on the ball....They made the comment that he played the pass perfectly and turned his head for the ball which avoided getting a pass interference call too.

What I remember our defensive backs play so far back , like prevent defense, that Kentucky receivers already caught the ball, made a 1st down and then was tackled by our guy getting to the party after the play was made. It wasn't a matter of DB running with receivers and hoping to knock the ball down, the ball was already caught because they play too soft. Kentucky did this all game or enough to keep drives going and make the game closer than it needed to be.
