Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Jackcrevol]

Leonhard would be amazing hire. He’d be the HC on defense basically which is what UT needs desperately. Very experienced and young mind calling defense. Everyone gloats about him in the industry

Sorta like Tim Banks?

Im not ready to throw him out yet. Martinez perhaps.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Would be back to the 3 man multiple front. Would necessitate a year to adjust.

you mean 34? or 43?

 

[MarcoVol]

TMac targeted 4 times. Allowed 4 receptions for 43 and a TD.

Hadden targeted 2x. 1 reception for 11 yards.

11 missed tackles. 10 of 11 came from secondary.

Hadden 3 missed tackles.

TMac 3 missed tackles.

Tim banks doesn’t have near the track record as Jim Leonhard has… you would be kidding yourself to think that lol

 

[VolNash17]

Wisconsin defensive efficiency metrics in Leonhard’s 6 seasons are all better. WAY better than the garbage Banks has thrown together the last 3 years. Leonhard also coaches the secondary (great at it). Did way more with less at Wisconsin. Banks is a MAC conference coach

Play calls on defense don’t seem like the issue.

11 missed tackles in FL game. 10 from secondary.

first off Huep isnt going to change. Banks is leaving only if he takes a HC job. TN changing course always has myriad issues that seem to take decades to correct. So, for Sal Sunseri, Justin Wilcox, and every other DC change. Im out.

Many of our issues stem from inability to get pressure. We do much better when we can pressure QB. Look how Mertz performed after he was hit.

Also, and I'm going back to missing on a lot of high end DE and DT prospects. I am 150% underwhelmed with our DT recruiting, and portalling. Id say we've had middling success there. We have tp hit on some of these top 100 guys.

I don’t believe there’s a true 3-4 or 4-3 defense anymore. Main difference is we’d need that fireplug NT type…which I don’t think is on the roster. And then your two other ends are more about taking on blockers and getting a push and allowing your edge players to attack. It’s a reset we’ve seen before. That’s not naysaying the move, but it’s a caveat for which fans have to be prepared.

Enjoy the failed banks experiment. Don’t forget the annual 30 burger to SEC rivals

Hadden 3 missed tackles.

TMac 3 missed tackles.

I’ve been saying all offseason how bad TMac is, the rest of the season we should roll with Turnage at star and Burrell/JGL/Slaughter at CB

Banks just doesn't have the players yet. Needs 4-5 more recruiting classes. JMO

 

[VolNash17]

UT will stay a tier or two below top flight sec teams until banks is replaced and Willie as well. Two coaches rivals jumped for joy when they were hired at UT… for good reason as we repeatedly see

[MoCo_Vol]

Florida game is always our first big test, and despite how ****** everything is for them they still have more talent on roster than us and they still play their best game against us.

Last year we had a better OL, better QB and an elite WR that made up the slack. This year we didn’t. And the defense lacked fire to generate enough negative plays to take momentum away.

 

[VolNash17]

If Tim banks needs a HC job they should call half of Vol nation. We’d all recommend him 1000% soft zone baby easy completions and defense that’ll be Swiss cheese to every legitimate opponent while you’re in the championship mix

 

[MarcoVol]

Also if it hasn’t been mentioned, locked on pod said Slaughter was game time decision and not disciplinary

 

[Smokey123]

Listening to podcasts…Mertz was clean on 84.8% of his drop backs. 1 sack and 1 qb hit.

Vols really got whipped in the trenches.

Yup. Very disappointing. Which says a lot considering floridas oline isn’t good.

No thanks. 3-4 can stay in Deep South.

Tank at STAR and Slaughter at Safety would also be a net gain imo. Think Tank is better near the line than in space.

 

[VolNash17]

Discount coaches found on layaway at Walmart or the dollar aisle at DG

I wouldn’t be opposed to benching Tank for Turrentine tbh

 

[JacketVol]

I like you but I swear you are always about to screw it and move on for something haha.

I am referencing my obsession with sports period not Tennessee. It very frustrating to spend so much time and money and think it has gambling influencing outcomes.

 

[JacketVol]

Uh, no.

I did read it, and that smells like bs.

Then read again. If

Your rite there definitely isn't a Hayneworth or John Henderson on roster a the moment...
