Thoughts on the depth chart

Hey everyone. I said earlier that there were items to discuss regarding the depth chart. Let's do it.
  1. Hot Carter not in the picture: I thought he seemed healthy last time I saw him on a practice field, so I'm not sure what to make of this. Chizik was asked about Carter and I found his answer intriguing:
    Again, I don’t go into the injury situation, but right now, we don’t anticipate him playing on Saturday.”
    Notice that he doesn't say it's an injury situation. Those are two separate statements.

  2. Dee Ford as a backup: It's a misnomer. Sure, Ford technically is Antonio Coleman's backup. When Coleman comes off the field, though, don't look for Ford unless it's third-and-long. I think Zach Clayton and/or Nick Fairley will play that spot before Ford's name is discussed.

  3. DeAngelo Benton as a backup: Not exactly. The depth chart presented below is based on a two-receiver set. That won't happen very often. When Auburn uses three wides, Benton will be in the game.

  4. The second-tier linebackers: Ouch. I don't think Jonathan Evans is healthy. Harris Gaston is another freshman who missed time with an injury. Adam Herring practiced last week for the first time since November. I can't imagine Ted Roof feeling good about the situation here.

  5. Eltoro Freeman: Is he ready to play at an acceptable level? We're supposed to talk with him tonight. I'll report back.


UNRELATED NOTE: I saw Eric Smith in front of the Athletic Complex this afternoon. He seemed in good spirits. Same for Aubrey Phillips.

OK, Steve's lack of optimism is making me nervous. What happened to Fear Toddzilla?

Dang. I didn't realize we were this close to flipping it. I failed.

Got it! 32 pieces of my wedding china for $63. Less than 1/12 of the regular cost.

THT, I knew I liked Mrs. THT. I LOVE china. More than jewelry.

dep, I predicted 31-10, or 35-0 with unrealitic expectations.

Thanks, I have been wanting to know what is up with spencer Pybus. I didn't even know he was hurt.

Mikey, jump in with your prediction for the game this weekend.

9:04 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

I am wondering about Pybus as well as the bull. Even without them, I predict LaTech is tiger meat. Injuries will be the biggest concern. I think we win easily, but any time a player doesn't get up quick, I will be holding my breath.

Missed the prediction, Steve. I'm just messin' with you.

Charlie Trotman was very upbeat about Toddzilla on Sportscall today. Thought you would like to know that.

Blogger cincytiger said...

posting 3?

9:07 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

I wish I had heard Trotman. I do think Todzilla will be excellent as long as his arm stays healthy. I liked a lot of what I saw from him early on last season.

9:07 PM  
Blogger cincytiger said...

BinOBA,
We've already discussed your crab claws and crab in general, and shrimp...

9:07 PM

Yea, someone posted 3 and then deleted it. I am not naming names.

Cincy, you just stuck that Randy Newman song in my head. It's a great song.

here it is

caution: rated x for vulgarity (brief mention of t-loser)

9:09 PM  
Blogger AU MikeyC said...

If we can win that way and have no injuries. I'll shout for joy and start praying for Miss. St. game

9:10 PM  
Blogger BinOBA said...

42-20 Auburn wins and the chase is afoot.

9:11 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

That MSU game is going to be very interesting. MSU will apparently finally have a significantly different offense.

9:12 PM

9:18 PM

i think we'll take a little athleticism a long way and hang that forty-burger. I wasn't wrong about strawberries and chocolate being awesome on that ice cream tonight. Just sayin.

Of course, the Monk theme song didn't hurt, either.

THT,
I don't think I have ever heard that song.

I meant the Birmingham one

You're not alone jet, in fact there's a mob.

well, I wish the "since 1976" applied to j-z's comment, but I was referring back to ehyou's comment

Cincy - I heard it when I was at Auburn. It may have been on the album with Short People, but I'm not sure.

just returned to the hotel from gino's chicago style pizza. if i only had a waffle cone of bruster's chocolate raspberry truffle (which i tried upon jet's suggestion) i could complete the process of gaining 10 lbs this evening.

the depth chart is screwing with my head a little. there are some names i want to see on it and do not.

i can't wait to fly home thursday and get ready to head to AU friday to see the tigers win 24-16.

as always jgt keeps it realer than most with the vids.
