The Official #17 Tennessee vs. UConn Game Thread, 12:00 PM ET, SEC Network

This Secondary and tackling is absolute trash.

 

[Spawn]

Playing down to the opponent or has our defense truly gone to garbage?

 

[tvolsfan]

A few years ago this game would be a nail biter. Pruitt may even lose it.

 

[Memphisvol87]

Defense better lock it in for next week or we are going to lose to dorkawitz

 

[RockyTop140]

Tighten it up, Banks.

 

[omghulkhands]

P.s. if Tim Banks leaves, I want Derek Mason for DC. Love that guy. Solid coordinator.

Mason could be making a million per year as a coordinator. I wonder why he chose broadcasting instead.

 

[Volfan574]

What year is Joly, we could use him lol

Exactly what I was thinking

 

[Vol8188]

Imagine how miserable some of these posters were when we were losing 5 or more every season?

Surprised they didn’t deep throat a 12 gauge

 

[TheVolsFrog]

Is our D playing lax trying to do just enough to keep injuries down and be ready from MO?
They're not playing aggressive

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Good post. Coaches send film every week and then have a pregame conversation with the refs.

We have lined up off sides in most of our games this year. Many in critical moments. They will be looking for it the rest of the year.

This is a fair statement

 

[OrangeVolMan]

We can’t tackle because we play soft. We don’t attack and it causes us to be soft.

 

[barney]

maybe if our dbs did more of those stupid drills with arm towels wrapped around their neck they'd tackle better

That’s weirdly specific, are you ok?

 

[Vol737]

With Lampley graduating this year, who is going to be our lay down lineman on extra points?

We’re gonna have to lay down some NIL money on a new guy.

 

[Score50]

Defense is bad. We never can stop a team no matter who we are playing. Puts so much pressure on the offense to score every possession. If Martinez and Banks aren’t really looked at to make a change, that will be a mistake. We will never be able to take the next step with those two guys making decisions for our defense.

 

[Caz]

tackling? tackling? tackling? idk if I've ever seen such a rapid sequence of arm tackles in my life.

Not impressed at all.
We look like an old version of an electronic football board game where 11 run around and just fall down.
Lol. For those that are old enough to remember those!

A few years ago this game would be a nail biter. Pruitt may even lose it.

I was thinking the same. In years past some of our teams would start to fold up here.

 

[BowlBrother85]

Looks like a replay of Austin Peay.

 

[RockyTop140]

We don’t have one db that looks athletic. They all look slow and can’t change their direction fast.

 

[Vol737]

P.s. if Tim Banks leaves, I want Derek Mason for DC. Love that guy. Solid coordinator.

Someone will grab him.

 

[give_him 6]

This game is going to finish by 7pm with all of these flags.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Mason could be making a million per year as a coordinator. I wonder why he chose broadcasting instead.

Because he was getting fired and wanted some a bit more stable

 

[TN1111]

If I were Lampley, I’d quit laying down on the extra point tries since the extra rest for the defense is not working.

 

[Cartervol]

Defense looking like they want to be somewhere else. So undisciplined. Can't tackle worth a shat.
