Went up for it. Good to be in Auburn. That was the best part of the day. 90% of it was 2's and 3's. The "starters" played very little, if at all in some cases. JJ did not play, which led me to believe he was solid with the 1's. GF informed me he had an injured paw so he was held out. Would love to have seen him play because no way he could have looked worse than the shit-fest that was Sean White and JFIII. Putrid and no other way to describe it. I'll hold out hope that the 2's are just that bad and they would have looked better with...oh what am I saying? Both of them sucked. As in pick 6 thrown by White on his first pass.
Well, that about covers the QB's.
Running backs: Carry On had one carry. Pettway had several nice runs. He's sloth like getting to the line. Woody Barrett is a QB but he was live and had the best runs of the day.
Defense: Big, very fast, salty and they bring the pain. Darrell Williams and Montavious Atkinson were full on beast mode. Derrick Brown is the biggest boy on the field and he's ready right now. 330 and clogs the middle. DB's covered like a blanket all day.
Notes: Did I mention the QB's sucked?
Kick off, FG and punting are off the charts good.
The players are noticeably bigger and yes, we have a ton of guys rotating on the D-line.
Byron Cowart looks like a different player. Quick and aggressive.
Between Lawson, Jeff Holland, Marlon Davidson, Paul James III and Cowart, this team is very fast and deep at DE.
We're obviously better at LB. Like I said, D. Williams and Atkinson were everywhere and always arrived with bad intentions. Atkinson looks like what we thought Justin Garrett would be after that spring game.
The best receiver on the field today was a little 5'9" white boy named James Owens Moss. Quick kid that made a lot of catches. Only saw Marcus Davis and Tony Stephens a few plays. If Jason Smith, Nate Craig Myers and Kyle Davis got in, I didn't see them.
The atmosphere is clearly different. Players were having a blast. When somebody made a play, the sideline would erupt. It honestly looks like they're having fun. Waaaayyy different than in years past.
The long snapping was stellar.
My take, The D will be a lot of fun to watch. Maybe not the first game. Tall task. Ultimately, find a QB and they can be really good. If the Quarterbacking is anything like today, we no bowl.
