Burns didn't look unhappy out there.

8:25 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

Burns definitely wasn't sulking out there.

I have an unconfirmed report that Burns, once told that he wasn't in the mix at QB, asked to get a chance at wideout.

AFTER he was told no dice at QB ...

Jay I really appreciate that last part of the clip when we get to see the completed pass. I always wondered if the QBs were throwing to moving targets or stationary ones.

8:28 PM

I wished they had just announced the QB decision after a practice or before and let the coaches answer questions. I hope the media won't be all over Burns, but it seem inevitable. It is the story.

Mr. Rollison, while I understand that it is with no pressure, looks very smooth out there.

JGT does he always look that smooth and comfortable?

Burns is comfortable and confident most of the time, no doubt.

So.. question...

If CT is not THE QB...

Why is he still on the field? Why would CGC and CGM put thier future at risk? I do not see CGC or CGM wasting time getting a senior up to speed to be the back up?

There's nothing saying they didn't have extensive talks about this with Burns.

Borges, Franklin, and then Malzahn in the spring made it clear Kodi wasn't the guy. Ray Charles could have seen this one coming.

How about this scenario???

Kodi is our starter. He is working at WR so that he and Fannin, Blake, Aycock, Stallworth, etc can swap positions and run the wildcat without having to change personel. Hey, stranger things have happened. That way we could swap offensive formations from the no huddle and keep the defense from being able to bring in run stoppers between plays. If Kodi learns a few routes, he can become a legitimate threat at WR in the Wildcat.

AuburnUnderCover is reporting that Todd has "apparently" been told that he is the man.

To the person who has been looking for Wisner: There he is in the video.

8:35 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

Experience is worth a lot at QB, which is why Todd is the man and our best option at QB. I will be very surprised if they don't announce a depth chart soon like the following.

1) Todd
2) Caudle
3) Rollison

Rollison will likely move up later.

8:35 PM

Burns is a grown dude. He is a football player. I don't see it as a big deal.

8:35 PM

Wade, I am shocked. Undercover is reporting Todd being the man? Someone should have warned us about Todzilla a long time ago.

I still think they should red shirt TY if Caudle is a strong enough backup.

I think AU messed burns up by playing him too soon...

Coach says play LB, you play LB. Coach says play TE, that's what you do. Why's QB any different?

8:45 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Sometimes change is liberating and invigorating. I don't know what kind of WR Kodi will be, but I hope he becomes a productive one ... not because we need him to be one at AU, but because he deserves a break.

And if he decides that it's not for him, then I hope he finds a place to play QB and does well

8:45 PM

TE is like driving a truck.

QB is like being President. The QB is the face of the team. The presumed leader.

That's why it's different.

I asked that too, Snow. LOL

8:48 PM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

If Kodi does make the move to WR, he has to be one of the most unselfish guys to come through AU in a long time. Making that move shows he puts the team ahead of himself and is willing to do what's best for the guys out there, as well as himself. If he makes the move to WR, everyone of us in the stands needs to be on our feet giving him a standing o the first time he runs out onto that field. We could learn a lot from this guy. He has been through alot, including being booed by his own fans at one point, yet he's still willing to put the team first. he has got my respect.

8:49 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

And Jay, let Kodi know that all the hotties are hoping for the best for him. His contributions to Auburn are appreciated.

8:49 PM

It's because Auburn is going to orange jerseys this year....He's testing them out.

8:50 PM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

This is all a ploy.

Kodi is the starter.

They are searching for his backup.

This is all to throw off the media and get Auburn some attention.

Or maybe I've just been reading too many conspiracy theories lately.

8:50 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

Kodi deserves his scholarship. He was our only viable option last season once Todd's arm went bye bye and he kept us in a lot of games when we could have easily been blown out.

8:51 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Maybe they didn't want to tell him about the position change by having a blue jersey in his locker.

I'm obviously in the minority here with my CT hating. Having said that... if CT starts every game this year, I see no more than five wins. I just don't see the upside with CT.

I trust Malzhan and his decision on QB. He has seen them more than we have. I am sure he will teach Todd not to hold on to the ball forever. I have big problem with sacks.

Actually, I see Todd being asked to manage a game and not lose it. Throwing short over the middle but once in a while sending one down field.

Just curious but what kind of relationship did Kodi have with Malzahn in his high school days? I hope for the best for the young man but was mildly curious if he was flat out getting the news from a trusted source as opposed to being strung along like last year.

Yeah Steve, this offense will run a lot of plays unlike last year so I pray that his shoulder holds up. I do think that he is a mature player/leader but as always with AU there always seems to be that big IF.

Do you guys think Kodi gets a shot a running the wildcat or is he to slow.

9:08 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

I guess I'm a little taken aback at the temperature of some regarding the announcement.

I'm concerned about Chris Todd's arm, but I'm concerned about Neil Caudle's injuries, inexperience and interceptions. I was concerned that Kodi Burns will never get the hang of the game.

See the field, kids. The two weeks was to see 2 things: a) can Todd throw the ball well enough to be competitive? b) Can Tyrik play at this level now?

Apparently the answer to "a" is yes. I believe the answer to "b" is yes as well, but that remains to be seen.

9:10 PM

He may not have been the answer at QB, but at least he's a class dude.

I'm guessing Kodi is in an orange jersey because he got the news right before practice.

I've always thought highly of him as a person, based on how he's carried himself in interviews. Nothing but respect from me no matter what he ends up doing.

Last night I commented:

1. Vets play only 2 series because they had the starter pegged.
2. Rollison and Moseley play more so coaches can determine if Rollison can handle the leadership role for a sustained amount of time.

I still feel this is correct.

Blogger Unknown said...

I don't understand the surprise over Kodi. It was pretty clear as early as late last season. The reason last season really went into the toilet was not having a backup for Todd and us having to simplify the offense to such a degree we were extremely predictable. The handwriting has been on the wall for a long time. It as if some of you missed all that went on the second half of last season.

9:21 PM  
Blogger AUfan said...

wtc- do you think Rollison is first off the bench if Todd struggles or goes down with an injury?

9:21 PM  
Blogger Monica said...

Was Bo Jackson there?

9:22 PM  
Blogger AUBigCat said...

Thanks Mon!! I'm just layered like that :)

9:24 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

The tough part of knowing the starter this year was Neil Caudle. I hadn't seen enough of him to really know if he could be the guy. Why I thought Todd would beat out Caudle is purely because of Borges' and Franklin's opinion of Caudle.

As for Tyrik, my guess is that if Todd hadn't healed, Tyrik would have been a serious threat, but it is still likely that Caudle would have ended up being the man this year.

9:25 PM  
Blogger Jet said...

Monica ... every bit of info that has passed my way says Tyrik can play, and will play.

The who comes off the bench first is the interesting question ... I think the answer is "depends," and that doesn't mean Gus has wet his pants. If you think the situation lets you play Tyrik, let 'er rip. If not, then Caudle.

WTC ... you are dead on regarding the scrimmage, IMO.

9:26 PM  
Blogger wtc said...

Depressed-I think he is if we get about 3-4 games into he season. My gut feel is he gets playing time on every game a home at some time. I do not think it will be a 'pull Todd if he screws up thing'. I think Todd id the man until he proves he is not the man. I just hope the fans do not trash him if he throws am INT or something. Now, if he starts to float the ball out there. I think Guss yanks him quickly.

9:26 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

As for who is number 2, my guess is Tyrik.

9:26 PM  
Blogger WarEagleRK said...

"I'm obviously in the minority here with my CT hating. Having said that... if CT starts every game this year, I see no more than five wins."

James,

If Todd's shoulder isn't healed, I can see where you are coming from. However if it is healed, he was a much better decision maker than Burns.

Todd played less and threw 5 TD's, Burns only threw 2 TD's vs 7 Int's.

9:29 PM  
Blogger Monica said...

What changed your mind in the last 30 minues from Caudle to Tyrik, Steve?

9:30 PM  
Blogger wtc said...

Look down the road a bit to see what the coaches are doing. I know it is way early but AU already has 3 top QB's very interested for the next recruiting class (not the one that signs this Feb)It just leads you to think Tyrik is going to play early so you do not have this problem going forward.

9:30 PM  
Blogger WDEwg said...

Who did Todd's shoulder surgery? Dr James Andrews, right? Then we should be good to go. He's the best at repairing stuff.

Plus, Todd said in practice he threw it 55 yards on the run and hit a WR in stride.

However, Uncle Rico could also probably throw a ball over that mountain. so...

9:31 PM

Anyway, I look forward to catching up on the comments in the morning, but for now I'm off to bed.
