MAN I AN READY FOR FALL!!!!!!! I guess it's time to take my pills and calm down, It's one practice scrimmage, it's just one practice scrimmage. Okay I'm better now
W.Rider... there in lies the eternal problem with our QBs.
Jay G... what were those orange covers on some of the players helmets for? Also Trott looked like he was walking very gingerly on that knee. Is he really gonna be ready for Fall?
Pred I'm not sure I see the greatness in Trotter from that clip. His 1st throw was either a great pass to the sideline or out out bounds, I couldnt tell from that angle. 2nd throw the WR was wide open but had to dive to catch it. He looked good on the keeper but that last throw looked like the defender was the closest one to the ball.
These QBs have me so confused! I just want someone to step up and look like they've played the position for more than a year.
Bigcat - I know what you mean but I think that actual throw was caught. The last thrown in the mid field I agree and yes if he lead the WR TD. But compared to non spirals and screens, it seemed better.
I really don't have an opinion to tell you the truth. Nothing to see really on the video. I have a hunch though, that Trotter will eventually be the guy. Don't know why. Just a hunch.
I have to admit Trotter seems like he has the most upside. Burns and Caudle seem stuck in their old ways/wrongs.
AU1 you are so correct about Kodi. I mean at this point in your career, how is an SEC QB NOT throwing spirals??? In practice??? With almost 0 defensive pressure???
I like the UCONN UNC picks but I have had a soft spot for Nova since the 80's. As a hs senior, I just knew that i was gonna go to UNC and play center when JR Reid graduated from UNC. If only i could have grown 5 more inches! lol
Maybe I missed it, but was it in the scrimmage rules that Caudle had to yell "free shot" and then toss the ball up the air downfield and let every one have a chance to catch it?
The way I look at the QB situation is the Kodi is the leader until someone steps up. If Todd's arm was healthy, my guess is that he would be the leader now.
That is not to say I think Todd will be the starter. I see the issues with Kodi and Caudle as coachable issues, while I think Todd's potential is more limited. He has just shown more leadership and decision making skills than the other QBs. I think with coaching, Kodi and Caudle will surpase him.
As for Trotter or Rollison, I wouldn't be surprised if they end up as a #2 or #3 guy, but I doubt they will be the starter going into the season.
SFG- I agree with everything except that you say Todd would be the lead guy if healthy. I think that would make Kodi and Neil want the spot even more, causing Us to have a three-way tie of overall better players than they are right now. take the mental aspect into consideration. and as far as the top spot don't count at Barrett Trotter, we have a few months left.
After watcing that video unless something drastic happens we ar in trouble. Alarge majority of the passes from all three QB's looked like wounded Doves. Where is this great QB coach that is going to teach these guys how to pass. It is early and they may improve greatly ....I sure hope so.
As for the happy feet, I don't see that as an issue. What is an issue is foot placement during their throwing motion. Personally, I like some of the little I have seen of Caudle, but my guess is he is the dark horse.
Picked up another LB Kitchens from College Park Ga.
I'm not a real big recruiting guy so I have a question. Are these guys just 1 stars b/c its early and they haven't been evealuated by scout yet or are they just not considered good players by most.
I'm not sure either and really do not care about the ranking now. Scout has them all 1 * until later I believe. Rivals will give them a * rating but on if they make their top list. (i am not a recruiting expert or anything. I was just bored after workking in the yard today and was looking at stuff on the web.)
After watching that video, I am going to pull a Ben Tate and say it is pretty obvious to everyone who the number 1 QB should be. I'm just not going to say who.
Jet...good news. The guy who used to own it is cooking at Uncle Mick's in Prattville now. We ate dinner down there with my parents tonight. I smacked my Momma after the meal.
Wide receiver Shaun Kitchens of College Park, Ga., joined Pelham High School linebacker Jake Holland on Auburn's commitment list.
Kitchens checks in at 6-foot-3, 211 pounds. He also had offers from Michigan State, West Virginia, Georgia Tech, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Kentucky, Duke, Maryland and N.C. State.
JZ, I am with you on the lack of pants. I'm watching basketball while drinking beer and reading the habotn. The only thing that could make this any better would be if it was football instead... or if angenlina Jolie was here and... well nevermind.
Haha, glad I caught that one Mon, I'm a bit slow tonight (blame it on th ah ah ah aahalcohol baby). I have a feeling I would disagree with her on just about every topic we discussed. But I watched Wanted (terrible movie) last night and damn is she hot.
Well, I went to Peppertree Steaks and Wine and picked up filets, which I seared to a nice medium rare.
Mrs. Jet made mashed potatoes with sour cream, cream cheese, butter and milk, with melted sharp cheddar on top. She also whipped a salad with romaine, tomato, green pepper, and cucumbers.
There was this place called "The Allnighter" at the corner of South Blvd and Mobile Hwy. We'd pick this dude up there every morning at 5:30. He was unique.
Damn...please insert a want in the first line for me.
On a brighter note, I'm $25 away from reaching my revised relay for life goal of $3500.00. Thanks HOTTIES, you played a huge role in getting there. I will hug everyone when we get together in the fall.
ziemba, pugh, isom, mccain, big snacks, eddins, odom, green, roseman, cooper, smith, (harris & sullen) + other walk-ons
we know the ones that will play. who are the ones that will have to play? this is getting ugly in a hurry. we all saw what happened in the sugar bowl when one team lost it's o-line. there is a huge chance at early playing time for any recruit paying attention. think yox can put 100 pounds on a deep snapper before august?
In light of the aggressive move by the PDRK, I hereby introduce a resolution before the HABOTN Security Council to rename the offending HOTTIE "Not So Dear Leader" for the next 30 days.
What a gnarly morning here in central Alabama. I wake up at 6 to the lightiningest storm of my lifetime (not all that stong, just electric) and now it's just rain rain rain.
Wow, if anyone is still upset that Caudle didn't play more, look at that last pass...reminded me of Todd vs Arkansas where he was trying to throw the ball out of bounds and didn't have the arm for it and it went straight to a DB.
Hmmm, hadn't ever heard anyone question Caudle's arm before. That is different.
I do like what I am hearing from the plains. The load of crap that we were going to be able to pass and run that I heard last year was disturbing. I like that the coaches seem to be taking a run first hard nosed approach.
It is also nice to see we won't have the kinder, gentler, more caring offensive line that we saw under Franklin.
Anybody else concerned that the defense will no tbe ready to handle a smash mouth game due to defending this offense each day? Just curious. Last year, as the season wore on, the d was tired. Blame will go to the lack of offense, but can you see where the lack of physicality in practice (defending the pass all the time) could have hurt?
"Hmmm, hadn't ever heard anyone question Caudle's arm before. That is different."
No, just his decision making ability. The point is Todd made a horrible looking pass vs Ark last year with no arm...Caudle is healthy and made the same ugly type of pass.
"I just think it's a great measuring tool," Chizik said. "Any time we step out on this field or any other field, there's always going to be a winner and a loser. Everyday, you have to be able to point back to what caused you being a winner versus what caused you being a loser."
- Auburn CGC
I LOVE THIS.... with all the wussification of our society, where everyone is a winner for showing up... CGC deals with reality…You do or you don’t, you can or you can't, you win or you lose....
One of the surprises the new coaches have seen is the number of playmakers on offense. They were under the impression that there were few, but that impression has changed.
This team will likely win around 8 or 9 games, mainly due to lack of depth on the offensive and defensive lines, as well as at linebacker, but we are not nearly as bad as we appeared last season.
I am most curious about the way Tate has described the running game. He feels he has more opportunities to cut. I think many have the idea Tate is slow. That is far from the case, but I do believe he wasn't able to react as quickly as needed in the Franklin Experience.
I am also getting the impression that Kodi will be the starting QB in a run based option attack.
I believe Auburn Undercover, but I read al.com a lot too.
I am not sure if Tate has a quickness issue, or if he was just having trouble with reads in the Franklin experience. It could be quickness, but I did read were he runs a 4.4/40. That is speed, but it also takes quickness too.
My guess for the coming season is that we will be better than average on offense and defense in the SEC. The defense will probably be not quite as good, but the offense will obviously be much improved.
My early guess is that we will finish fourth behind Bama, Ole Miss, and LSU. With a little luck we could get into the top 3.
The reason isn't that we won't be much improved. I expect the three ahead of us to also be very improved, especially LSU now that they have a QB.
On the lighter side, I expect UT to lead the SEC in comedic value. Kiffin probably knows how to shut up, he just hasn't learned to take the opportunity to do so.
The Kitchens recruit is an interesting one. Depending on where you look, he is projected as a LB,S or WR. He is also on the ESPNU 150 watch list. I think he is a Karlos Dansby type.
Just read this and almost fell out of my chair Bozone: The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future. It is especially prevelent in Tuscalosa.
We will be much better than last year. The problem that I see is that so will everyone else. I still have no guess to what our record will be. Looking at our schedule, the only games that I'm sure we will win are La Tech and Furman.
Holy freakin schnikeys hotties! Did this kid really commit? I remoistened myself while viewing the video. The thing that stands out to me the most? This young man has absolutely no fear of contact at all. And the blocks on the kick returns were awesome. Way to stay with the play. I gotta go smoke a cigarette now.
Closed scrimmage can't deter JGT.
ReplyDeleteYour "sources" are appreciated.
ReplyDeleteno drops
ReplyDeleteshould I be worried that someone deleted my entire profile on this site?
ReplyDelete5
ReplyDeleteThat's certainly odd, DL.
ReplyDeleteI promise: I wasn't involved.
Dont sleep on Caudle's speed! It's those pesky INTs that seem to kill him.
ReplyDeleteThat last throw of Caudle's was ... not good.
ReplyDeleteMAN I AN READY FOR FALL!!!!!!! I guess it's time to take my pills and calm down, It's one practice scrimmage, it's just one practice scrimmage. Okay I'm better now
ReplyDeleteTrotter was a little more shifty then expected. Wasn't overly impressed with any one of the qb's.
ReplyDeleteWho was it that got wailed on on the telegraphed screen play? And who was it that made the hit?
ReplyDeleteWas there any spirals that Kodi threw?
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteTrotter seemed confident though to me.
ReplyDeleteW.Rider... there in lies the eternal problem with our QBs.
ReplyDeleteJay G... what were those orange covers on some of the players helmets for? Also Trott looked like he was walking very gingerly on that knee. Is he really gonna be ready for Fall?
Thank gosh I made everything up on the profile... well except the dictator thing...
ReplyDeleteThank gosh I made everything up on the profile... well except the dictator thing...
ReplyDeleteI think I am becoming a Trotter fan!!!!
ReplyDeleteIs Kodi able to throw a spiral?
Trotter for QB. He's got the Fro power.
ReplyDeleteThanks for my hit JG. Your the best dealer ever.
Mrtommy that WR looked like T. Zachery on that telegraphed screen but I couldnt tell who layed the wood to him. It looke like a #33 maybe?
ReplyDeleteWhoever it was knocked a snot bubble out of his nose.
ReplyDeleteAU1N04
ReplyDeleteI swear I did not see your post prior to asking the same questions... when is the last spiral he threw?
I'm not sure about Zachery's pre-scrimmage helmet cap. I know he's not injured.
ReplyDeleteThe big hit on the screen:
ReplyDeleteHitter: Christian Thompson
Hittee: Terrell Zachery
It's orange underwear. Kinda like back in the day when coach would make somebody wear pink panties over their pants when they weren't hustling enough.
ReplyDeleteDL - It's ok. I know you are focused on satellites.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe he had just gotten there from huntin' this morning.
ReplyDeletePhred - Did you not hustle alot?
ReplyDeleteTrotter is Hotter than Burns.
ReplyDeleteOh ... I am so clever.
That was all I could do. I was one of the untalented ones who had to hustle more. So ... no wise guy - no pink panties for me.
ReplyDeletePred I'm not sure I see the greatness in Trotter from that clip. His 1st throw was either a great pass to the sideline or out out bounds, I couldnt tell from that angle. 2nd throw the WR was wide open but had to dive to catch it.

ReplyDeleteThese QBs have me so confused! I just want someone to step up and look like they've played the position for more than a year.
Well just on this video, I agree, Trotter looked to be the most confident.
ReplyDeleteBigcat - I know what you mean but I think that actual throw was caught. The last thrown in the mid field I agree and yes if he lead the WR TD. But compared to non spirals and screens, it seemed better.
ReplyDeleteI really don't have an opinion to tell you the truth. Nothing to see really on the video. I have a hunch though, that Trotter will eventually be the guy. Don't know why. Just a hunch.
ReplyDeleteI guess the hunch is based on the fact that he has "winner" written all over him. Some guys just have it.
ReplyDeleteMaybe cause he didn't seem to have happy feet.
ReplyDeleteOk who wins tonight....UCONN & UNC
ReplyDeleteI have to admit Trotter seems like he has the most upside. Burns and Caudle seem stuck in their old ways/wrongs.
ReplyDeleteAU1 you are so correct about Kodi. I mean at this point in your career, how is an SEC QB NOT throwing spirals??? In practice??? With almost 0 defensive pressure???

ReplyDeleteI guess all this QB talk will be a non issue when Rollison is ready, right?
ReplyDeleteMan I sure hope so!
ReplyDeleteMaybe I missed it, but was it in the scrimmage rules that Caudle had to yell "free shot" and then toss the ball up the air downfield and let every one have a chance to catch it?
ReplyDeleteJet, i think that pass was to have the receivers ready when Todd returns. The "Todd Floater."
ReplyDeleteJay G.
ReplyDeleteYou are the man.... you know what the HOTTIES like!
Thanks for watching!
ReplyDeleteI think Caudle thought they were playing 21.
ReplyDeleteThe way I look at the QB situation is the Kodi is the leader until someone steps up. If Todd's arm was healthy, my guess is that he would be the leader now.
ReplyDeleteThat is not to say I think Todd will be the starter. I see the issues with Kodi and Caudle as coachable issues, while I think Todd's potential is more limited.

ReplyDeleteDo you export to you-tube?
Apologies if I missed where you may have addressed this previously
C'mon UCONN!!!!
ReplyDeleteAfter watcing that video unless something drastic happens we ar in trouble. Alarge majority of the passes from all three QB's looked like wounded Doves. Where is this great QB coach that is going to teach these guys how to pass.
ReplyDeleteIt is early and they may improve greatly ....I sure hope so.
For you recruiting junkies, looks like AU got a commitment from Baneker,GA WR Shaun Kitchens and possibly ATH Dieon Blue from Deschler, AL
ReplyDeleteAs for the happy feet, I don't see that as an issue. What is an issue is foot placement during their throwing motion. Personally, I like some of the little I have seen of Caudle, but my guess is he is the dark horse.
ReplyDeleteLooks like AU picked up a LB commit today. jake Holland from Pelham.
ReplyDeletePicked up another LB Kitchens from College Park Ga.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a real big recruiting guy so I have a question. Are these guys just 1 stars b/c its early and they haven't been evealuated by scout yet or are they just not considered good players by most.
This is a good game we've got going here.
holland is a stud dog.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure either and really do not care about the ranking now. Scout has them all 1 * until later I believe. Rivals will give them a * rating but on if they make their top list.

ReplyDeleteGO HEELS!
ReplyDeleteI am ... devastated.
ReplyDeleteUConn, I hate you. With a hate unlike my UAT hate.
Maybe it's the way the footage was edited, but it looks like Justin Albert got a lot of touches today. He's a good kid...hope he continues to develop.
ReplyDeleteJet,
ReplyDeleteDid you ever eat at Arnaud's in Montgomery when it was open?
J-Z ...
ReplyDeleteI didn't, and I hate that I didn't.
Why is Gene Chizik wearing a sweater???
ReplyDeleteYou're not in Ames anymore!
Jet...good news. The guy who used to own it is cooking at Uncle Mick's in Prattville now. We ate dinner down there with my parents tonight. I smacked my Momma after the meal.
ReplyDeleteIf North Carolina wins this next game, You Know Who wins the bracket challenge.
ReplyDeleteIf Villanova wins, it's down to tigerfan 44 and Jim In Scranton.
That wasn't very nice J-Z. I hope you apologized.
ReplyDeleteI will be pulling for the winner of the UNC/Villanova game. I can't bear MSU.
ReplyDeleteShe had it comin'.
ReplyDeleteSHHHH ehyou, Harrison might hear you, you know how he feels about b***'s.
ReplyDeleteI will be pulling for the winner also.
Maybe
ReplyDeleteUNC vs Michigan State
Michigan State takes the crown.
looks like football, smells like football....it is football!!!
ReplyDeleteAuburn just recieve another commit today:
ReplyDeleteWide receiver Shaun Kitchens of College Park, Ga., joined Pelham High School linebacker Jake Holland on Auburn's commitment list.
Kitchens checks in at 6-foot-3, 211 pounds. He also had offers from Michigan State, West Virginia, Georgia Tech, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Kentucky, Duke, Maryland and N.C. State.
O my I was stil bouncing the round
ReplyDeleteball.
Sweet Mobilz, thanks for the good news.
ReplyDeletei actually picked Michigan St and Nova in my second chance bracket
ReplyDeletea tall reciever imagine that!!!
ReplyDelete"she had it coming"
ReplyDeletejust wrong, wrong, wrong
(snort)
6'3" 211? I moistened myself.
ReplyDeleteI thought Arnaud's was in New Orleans
ReplyDeletej-z ahhhhh ewwwwwwweh! TMI
ReplyDeleteIt is...but it's the dude's last name, so he went with it.
ReplyDeleteScout has him listed at LB. But a 6'3" 210 lb WR sounds mighty tasty.
ReplyDeleteJay should be covering this game.
ReplyDeletei hope Shaun is no relationship to Freddie.... cuz he use to drop sandwitches all over the field when he scrambled while passing for bammer!!!
ReplyDeleteMobile - don't deny JZ his man love...
ReplyDeleteMon,
ReplyDeleteYou are right.... allllrighty then!
Proceed j-z.
ok continue with the love.....
The mailman is about to deliver.
ReplyDeletetasty huh?
ReplyDeleteY'all been hanging around with me too much.
Mon,
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha i was just about to say the same thing.... wake took the words right outta your mouth!
lowered have mercy - I just had to explain to Greg what I was laughing and snorting myself into tears
ReplyDeletethanks, jz
So have these announcers Mon, "I'd call that jump shot HONNY SWEET"
ReplyDeleteand I can't spell honey.
ReplyDeleteScrong stuff, huh?
ReplyDeleteyou are just wrong and i will get you back
ReplyDeleteDon't forget
ReplyDeleteThe postman always ring twice.
i was laughing here by myself all alone Mon....
ReplyDeletei just read "moistened" and "tasty" in two comments talking about a DUDE! wow ONLY ON THE HABOTN!
There is something inherently right with an America where I can sit on the couch in my spiderman underwear and watch a final 4 game.
ReplyDeleteJ-Z OK OK TMI!!!
ReplyDeleteunless they are underoos with the little footies attached..... i used to have a TIGGER jammies when i was lil!
twice? impressive, Dig
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one who has notice how often JZ refers to his lack of pants? AND do we REALLY think that this adult man has Spiderman underwear?
I think the HABOTN is tipsy!
ReplyDeleteMon,
ReplyDeleteI really think he has CHIZIK undies....
Seems normal to me
ReplyDeleteJZ, I am with you on the lack of pants. I'm watching basketball while drinking beer and reading the habotn. The only thing that could make this any better would be if it was football instead... or if angenlina Jolie was here and... well nevermind.
ReplyDeleteAngie hates Scrubs.
ReplyDeleteI could pull a Dear Leader and post a pic of me in my spidey shorts.
ReplyDeleteI hate Angie.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry Angie, I have no clue who you are but you provoked me.
Villanova doesn't stand a chance.
That's the only way I'll believe you. Just sayin. :-)
ReplyDeleteAngie = Angelina Jolie
ReplyDeletePant Pant Drool lay down roll over
ReplyDeleteI found spiderman boxer breifs. Quite a few boxer options, too. No Adult tittie whites, though.

Those are HAWT. Boxer briefs are my fave.
ReplyDeleteWhy is the floor raised up like that?
Haha, glad I caught that one Mon, I'm a bit slow tonight (blame it on th ah ah ah aahalcohol baby). I have a feeling I would disagree with her on just about every topic we discussed. But I watched Wanted (terrible movie) last night and damn is she hot.
ReplyDeletefantastic footage. even better editing. props homie.
ReplyDeleteLawson's ball handling makes it look like he's a Globetrotter and 'Nova is the Generals.
ReplyDeleteblame it on tha goose gottcha feelin loose
ReplyDeleteMMMM...chocolate chocolate chip cake with cream cheese icing and chocolate ice cream.
ReplyDeletethere was cake left over???
ReplyDeleteJay you got me tonight on our bracket challenge. I so wanted the H.A.B.O.T.N t shirt. Guess the better man won. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteso is JG the bracket champion already? if so, bravo sir. bravo!
ReplyDeleteDo y'all know how long we would have heard it if 44 had won????
ReplyDeleteWhew.
;-) 44
Just a little...and a bowl of cream cheese icing. I'll have to think of something to do with it.
ReplyDeleteYou are very lucky MON. I am not a gracious winner.
ReplyDeletejz you made me hit the wrong button in my poker game
ReplyDelete44 - you're a gracious winner? THAT is shocking.
Poker? I'm not sure I'm buying. Where do you play.
ReplyDeleteProbably not as long as we would have hear if Monica had won is my guess.
ReplyDeleteI don't want trouble.
Weirdest thing about Shaun Kitchens? All of the articles say he's a WR, yet on Scout's Commit List he's an SLB, yet on this page he's a QB!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if he's also a long snapper...
Dinner ...
ReplyDeleteWell, I went to Peppertree Steaks and Wine and picked up filets, which I seared to a nice medium rare.
Mrs. Jet made mashed potatoes with sour cream, cream cheese, butter and milk, with melted sharp cheddar on top. She also whipped a salad with romaine, tomato, green pepper, and cucumbers.
Elturbo's girlfriend brought us a nice dessert.
A very good meal.
Jet, that made my mouth water from 150 miles away.
ReplyDeleteI hope the NCAA goes medieval on UConn. Stinkin' chokers. Jack@$$e$. I hate 'em. Almost as much as I hate UAT.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure who out there appreciates a good meal....but count me among them.
ReplyDeletedon't be countin' out nova, yet
ReplyDeleteI laid sod in Montgomery summer '95. If you think there's a worse job - forget about it.
ReplyDeleteI remember 1995, I think it was the last time I laid ... sod.
ReplyDeleteEhyou, count me among those who appreciates a good meal.
There was this place called "The Allnighter" at the corner of South Blvd and Mobile Hwy. We'd pick this dude up there every morning at 5:30. He was unique.
ReplyDeleteOK, now you can count out Nova.
ReplyDeleteehyou - I play at Zynga which I get to via Facebook.
ReplyDeleteSam - Who are you exactly?
Planting pine trees is worse than laying sod. No doubt, no way, no how.
ReplyDeleteMen are like sod.
ReplyDeleteWomen are like fertilizer.
ReplyDeleteWe're better when we're green side up?
ReplyDelete... at their best use when they are scattered in your backyard.
ReplyDeleteJust kidding. I love ya, honey.
Hello ... hello ... hello

Lay 'em right the first time you can walk on them for life.
ReplyDeleteI'll buy that.
ReplyDeleteI was going to respond ... but I just thought it ought to sit out there by itself for a while.

ReplyDeleteDamn...please insert a want in the first line for me.
ReplyDeleteOn a brighter note, I'm $25 away from reaching my revised relay for life goal of $3500.00. Thanks HOTTIES, you played a huge role in getting there. I will hug everyone when we get together in the fall.

ReplyDeleteI was sweatin out that MSU-UConn game.
ReplyDeleteDo I even take the shirt?
ReplyDeleteOh hell yes I do. I am the BRACKET MASTER.
I won't gloat, though. I just got lucky.
I coached UConn well ... it was the players who didn't execute my plan.

Wow the Habotn shut down early. Night all
ReplyDeleteWow... I've never been the first post of the morning. This does not bode well for the rest of the day.
ReplyDeleteIn light of the aggressive move by the PDRK, I hereby introduce a resolution before the HABOTN Security Council to rename the offending HOTTIE "Not So Dear Leader" for the next 30 days.
ReplyDeleteThat'll show him.
A Good Morning to all!!
ReplyDeleteIndeed Scott.
This video fires me up and gets me excited for some Auburn football!!!! I HATE that it's only April!

ReplyDeleteToday is PRACTICE FOOTAGE DAY.
Rain can't stop me!

ReplyDeleteNo, just his decision making ability. The point is Todd made a horrible looking pass vs Ark last year with no arm...Caudle is healthy and made the same ugly type of pass.
"I just think it's a great measuring tool," Chizik said. "Any time we step out on this field or any other field, there's always going to be a winner and a loser. Everyday, you have to be able to point back to what caused you being a winner versus what caused you being a loser."

I LOVE THIS.... with all the wussification of our society, where everyone is a winner for showing up... CGC deals with reality…You do or you don’t, you can or you can't, you win or you lose....
AHHHHHH……..Refreshing….
Ps did everyone like my fireworks last night?
wtc, we have a new offense this year. Supposedly it is smash mouth.

One of the surprises the new coaches have seen is the number of playmakers on offense. They were under the impression that there were few, but that impression has changed.
ReplyDeleteThis team will likely win around 8 or 9 games, mainly due to lack of depth on the offensive and defensive lines, as well as at linebacker, but we are not nearly as bad as we appeared last season.
I am most curious about the way Tate has described the running game. He feels he has more opportunities to cut. I think many have the idea Tate is slow. That is far from the case, but I do believe he wasn't able to react as quickly as needed in the Franklin Experience.
I am also getting the impression that Kodi will be the starting QB in a run based option attack.

Have I missed the quotes where the coaches talk about the surprising # of playmakers on this team?
ReplyDeleteTate is not slow, but he does need a few strides to get up to speed, those strides can't be from sideline to sideline.
ReplyDeleteInteresting Steve, where did this info come from?
ReplyDeleteI believe Auburn Undercover, but I read al.com a lot too.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure if Tate has a quickness issue, or if he was just having trouble with reads in the Franklin experience. It could be quickness, but I did read were he runs a 4.4/40. That is speed, but it also takes quickness too.
My guess for the coming season is that we will be better than average on offense and defense in the SEC. The defense will probably be not quite as good, but the offense will obviously be much improved.
ReplyDeleteMy early guess is that we will finish fourth behind Bama, Ole Miss, and LSU. With a little luck we could get into the top 3.
The reason isn't that we won't be much improved. I expect the three ahead of us to also be very improved, especially LSU now that they have a QB.
Even prior to the Franklin disaster Tate always seemed to be at his best when he was running downhill, a one cut and go kinda guy, not a shifty back.
ReplyDeleteSteve, Everything you said sounds good to me. Hope your right.
On the lighter side, I expect UT to lead the SEC in comedic value. Kiffin probably knows how to shut up, he just hasn't learned to take the opportunity to do so.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too, but it is obviously a lot of guessing. Injuries could very well determine how this season comes out.
ReplyDeleteThat Caudle pass was such a ridiculously stupid decision I wonder if he said, "Hey, man, watch this!" to his buddies before he threw it.
ReplyDeleteI hope Caudle said it's Howdy Doody Time
ReplyDeleteSee who can catch this one it is open to all comers.
The Kitchens recruit is an interesting one. Depending on where you look, he is projected as a LB,S or WR. He is also on the ESPNU 150 watch list. I think he is a Karlos Dansby type.
ReplyDeleteShaun Kitchens
His first name is Kowarski by the way.
Just read this and almost fell out of my chair
ReplyDeleteBozone: The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future. It is especially prevelent in Tuscalosa.
Kowarski Kitchens, I likey.
ReplyDeleteWe will be much better than last year. The problem that I see is that so will everyone else. I still have no guess to what our record will be. Looking at our schedule, the only games that I'm sure we will win are La Tech and Furman.
ReplyDeleteIt just looked okay to me...didn't see any meerkat OL so that makes me feel a little better.
ReplyDeleteHoly freakin schnikeys hotties! Did this kid really commit? I remoistened myself while viewing the video. The thing that stands out to me the most? This young man has absolutely no fear of contact at all. And the blocks on the kick returns were awesome. Way to stay with the play. I gotta go smoke a cigarette now.
