You forgot Coates and Duke.
Funny reading back over those. I think that the older guys who could not produce have either been moved to defense, or just do not get to play now. The coaches have shown that to get on the field, you have to catch the ball or be a freak (Louis)
Other than Coates being hurt, I think that the addition of Duke has really allowed Coates to find his role. he can catch in traffic, but he seems to make really good deep moves to get open. Now that he is almost 100%, defenses play hell covering him and Duke.
And lo and behold, Marcus Davis comes up with another TD catch. he is not a huge guy, but he just plays hard.
I have been very impressed with the development of the WRs so far. Now if we can just get the ball to them in space more often, I think we could have some really good YAC.
We know what Louis can do if he catches the ball. And Bray seems to be a good WR, but we only throw screens to him. The weapons at WR look to be ready for an explosion. I bet JJ is getting antsy. I would love for him to have a record setting year next season. He has been very patient. And if Duke sticks around it could be fun next year.
How many times have we been able to be excited about the next season without already have given up on the current one? I like what Gus has done to allow us as fans to be excited about the now and later.
It is good to be an Auburn Tiger.
