You can find them for that now if you know people. I'm thinking there will be some for 2 or 4 dollars if you have the guts to wait it out till right before kick off. I have those kind of guts.

The offense is going to be devastating.

Duke and Sammie outside...power running inside with CAP...speed sweeps with Grant and Louis.

Oh and don't forget about Quan Bray...he'll burn you for 50 or so in a hurry.

I agree. Adding Duke to the WR corp with Coates is going to fun to watch. Grant, well, he has to be at a 4.2/40. Good gracious alive the kid is fast.

The guys broadcasting were raving about the vast improvement in Marshalls foot work and throwing motion. His passes look a lot prettier also.

- The offense was legit, but it showed that it was 1's vs. 2's. 

- Skill-wise, no one in the country has what we have on offense.  We have homerun hitters at every position and depth at most of them. 

- It was great seeing our offense click that way with Reese Dismukes on the sidelines.

- I was disappointed in Jeremy Johnson.  I know he was working with the 2nd team against the 1st team, but he looked off most of the game.  He did not look like a guy that could easily be our starter like we were lead to believe last year.  Most likely just a bad day, but he looked rough.

- CAP?  Grant?  Barber was hurt after one carry, but he's hyped to be good enough to start.  Oh and Roc Thomas is a 5 star with unreal potential.  Running back is definitely not a position to worry about.

- Duke Williams had "it."  Whatever "it" is.  He just has that look, that feel, that smoothness.  He reminds me of a Dez Bryant or Calvin Johnson.  Not that he has their ability or potential, but he just has that humongous receiver size and can move fluidly like a point guard flying to the basket.

Post by: Tiger Wench on April 20, 2014, 12:10:09 AM
My first official #cougarcrush of the season is Duke Williams. Holy crap. The kid can freaking ball.

Nick looked good. CAP will fill Mason's shoes with little if any drop off. Sammi + Duke = an opposing DC's worst nightmare.

I gotta get some new shades. I'm feeling mighty fine right now.
Title: Re: A Day 2014
Post by: CCTAU on April 20, 2014, 12:17:54 AM
I hope Barber is OK. He is that step needed between Grant and CAP.
There were times if NM had kept the ball, he was gone.

But keep in mind, this was not 1s vs 2s. This ended up more like vs 3s. There were several plays that looked good, but probably won't look as good against SEC defenses. But the weapons are awesome. Duke puts us in the devastation zone now.

If JJ cannot get a bit of zip on his passes, he'll be fighting off White next year!

Therezie still has pop. Reed played a lot with what seems to be the 1s. Mincy was used sparingly. Truitt is fast. Ricardo Louis is the new Trovon Reed!
Hard to tell how good the D was. They were never challenged. It would have been nice to see 1s on 1 for a couple of series.

NM looked very comfortable. He still needs work hitting the sideline bomb. He keeps pushing it OOB.

Ricky Parks is back in the mix now.

I thought they should have given Truitt a shop at punt return. Hell everybody else got a shot!

All in all. We could be scary good on offense. Defense is still the big question!

I thought Barber had hurt his knee, but apparently it is a high ankle sprain.

The article says that Cass caused it, but Barber slipped on the wet grass. Had he not slipped...

- Skill-wise, no one in the country has what we have on offense.  We have homerun hitters at every position and depth at most of them. 
I will say that we have the most offensive talent than I've seen at AU. And, as you probably are aware, I know more about Auburn football than anyone on here.

My only real disappointments were Jeremy Johnson's performance and not getting to see Barber and Lawson. I've been hearing the same scuttlebutt about Barber and I think he may be the starter before the season's end.

I am also a little concerned about Montrae Adams. He worked with the 2's but his demeanor has me concerned. Garner said he could be one of the best to ever play at AU but he can't do it on raw talent alone. He needs an attitude adjustment and he can be great.

Overall, it was a fantastic A day and I had a blast. You could say it was disappointing that I didn't run into any of you guys but that would be a blatant lie.

Recorded both Auburn and Alabama's A-Day.  Drastic difference in the way the stands were filled for each.

After watching the replay yesterday I am pretty damn pumped about what this offense should be able to do.  I really do not remember a time when we have had more potential game changing weapons on offense.  Every position seems stacked with talent.

Defense is still a question mark.

Another observation from a brilliant football mind. I was pleasantly surprised at the Van Gorder boy's play at safety. He is a physical player and made a great one handed would be interception on a dead ball play. I wonder if he'll see any pt.

Kenny Flowers seemed to have a good game based on the number of times I heard his name called. LB is still a concern but I think we are better there.

Kicking could be mediocre or sore spot, which isn't surprising with two first year guys. Nothing to write home about except the 50 yarder. Hard to tell though in a spring game. But punts didn't look great. I'm  sure the wind played a factor.

Post by: Snaggletiger on April 21, 2014, 09:49:08 AM
Nothing more to add to the comments about the offense, except that if defenses have to focus on Coates, Duke and Bray as much as you know they'll have to, CJ Uzlamabad will burn dat ass, quick.

Oh, and Jim & Nick's BBQ Friday night was the titz.

Fuck 'em. They probably did flood the gates for kickoff for a FREE opportunity to visit their sacred holy ground which they could never afford to otherwise see. And left well before the end of the 0-0 first half.

Important distinction: Auburn's 70,000 for A-Day trailed only Penn State (72,000) and Alabama (73,000) in spring game attendance, but Penn State's and Alabama's were both free. Auburn's was the highest paid attendance.

I'd much rather use the event to raise $350,000 + concessions, etc. than claim an A-Day attendance national championship.

Radio douches in Mobile yesterday spent half the afternoon show explaining how an Aday where the offense doesn't score is a much better situation than where the offense runs wild. That an offensive showing was a sign of a terrible defense where a defensive shutout showed total team strength. Because after all Bama had a real scrimmage with 1s against 1s because they have stars everywhere and so much more depth that they wanted the challenge. Not like what Gus said was "showing off for the fans."

And then on college football live on ESPN I watched them debate the potential panic of bama not having a quarterback. Andre ware said it was a 10 out of 10. Joe schad laughed at him, rated it a 2 out of 10 and declared Jacob Coker a heisman front runner. 

It never ends.
Title: Re: A Day 2014
Post by: Snaggletiger on April 22, 2014, 11:53:18 AM
So Coker was a 3 star coming out of HS. (Rivals)  His stats for 2013 in mop up duty were 18-36 (50% or 17/43rds) with no TD's and one interception. Apparently all the hype surrounding Coker comes from the fact that the coaches said the battle between he and The Roofie Rapist went "down to the wire". 

The kid certainly looks to have the size, 6'5" 230 and the FSU corches said he has a great arm.  He may come in and set every record known to man but Geez Louise, that's what all the hype is about???  So, he's never even taken a snap in practice at Bama.  He's never done anything on the field, either in HS or at FSU to warrant the type of drooling blather that's coming out of their fan base and the press.  He's been built up to be this larger than life figure that's going to come in to Fall practice, put the team on his shoulders and carry them back to the promise land.  May happen but, based on what?

I'm wondering if Coker was practicing with the 1's and having a "legit" shot at winning the starting position because the coaches weren't completely sure Winston wasn't going to jail.

I believe that the kid is good. I think he prolly did push for the starting job with JW. I've heard people that saw him in HS talk about how good he was and FSU people say that he deserved the starting job last year. All of my belief is based on what I hear. And. largely on what they saw in HS and practice. We talking bout practice. We ain't talking bout no game. So, yes. Over-hyped. Why? Obviously because he is transferring to the best football team in the history of the sport and playing for the best coach in the game's history.

They don't really need him, mind you. They've got all those 5*'s on the bench but he may edge them out.

The kid certainly looks to have the size, 6'5" 230 and the FSU corches said he has a great arm.  He may come in and set every record known to man but Geez Louise, that's what all the hype is about???  So, he's never even taken a snap in practice at Bama.  He's never done anything on the field, either in HS or at FSU to warrant the type of drooling blather that's coming out of their fan base and the press.  He's been built up to be this larger than life figure that's going to come in to Fall practice, put the team on his shoulders and carry them back to the promise land.  May happen but, based on what?
 

See turd fan base.

No, there's always the guy from Mississippi State and/or Georgia for them to clamor over. The only way they don't have Nicko Suave as 1st team is if they come up with some shit about transfer players aren't eligible which I won't be surprised to learn of the day this is released.

Let's take Cam as a perfect example of the difference in how all this is handled/perceived.  Cam was a big time stud coming out of HS.  Much more so than Coker.  By a long shot.  Signed with what at that time, was pretty much the premier program going in the Gaytah.  Unfortunately, played behind a college football god and then robbed dozens of students blind...boom, Junior College.  Rips shit up in JC and AU pays $180K to bring him in.   

Do you recall any hype?  Any claims of where he'd take us?  Was he even considered the heir apparent to the AU quarterback position? Answer: No to all of the above.  As Auburn fans, we were pumped to get a talented guy like that.  But no Joe Schad's proclaiming Heisman.  No calls to the Finebaum show hailing a great Auburn coup.  No media members instantly putting him in the SEC elite.

I recall Jeff Driskell was supposed to be a world-beater. Everyone had them on their Heisman short lists. I remember being outraged that the exact justification they used as being a weakness for cam was that he was "unproven". He had just won a Juco national championship. Driskel was fresh out of HS at the time. It made zero sense.

My point is, the through-line is clearly that Auburn has to earn a mountain of respect before they'll ever get a speck of dirt's worth.

Don't know about "clear cut" by any stretch.  Too much talent spread around this league.  That's why I laugh every year when I hear the "experts" say it's Bama and whoever else makes it into the MNCG.  But, I'd say we have as good a shot as anyone in this league or in the country for that matter.  And honestly, I can live with that.  Tee that shit up and let's see what happens.

We've earned a mountain's worth.

Returning SEC Champions. A mommy part hair away from taking the National Title from the widely-proclaimed world beaters. Improved at virtually every position, both talent and depth wise. Did you see A-Day? We're going to be disgustingly good. I'm foaming at the mouth.

Hell, even Gus is saying "Go ahead and barn out. We're going to the National Championship again this year, except we're winning it this time." (Link (http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/writer/jeremy-fowler/24530719/gus-malzahns-goal-for-auburn-is-simple-go-back-and-win-it))

Meanwhile McCarron, Manziel, Mettenberger, Murray, Shaw. All gone. And it ain't just the QB position looking bare at basically every other school in the SEC.

Everything on paper is saying we should absolutely skullfuck the competition this year. So all that means is maybe the experts won't pick us last pre-season for a change.

I'm inclined to agree.  I think they're due - overdue actually - for a true rebuilding year.  Every long term tenured coach has one or two.  Look at Les Miles and Mark Richt.  They can look to their own history and see Bear Bryant didn't win 11+ games every season. 

But they aren't going to allow for it.  The type of reactions they'll have against Saban, his assistant coaches, and the players will stall the high speed momentum they have in recruiting.  Saban also doesn't seem like the guy who will accept being spat on by his own fanbase.  Those little tirades he has in press conferences won't go so well when he has four losses before December.

Do you remember the years Auburn didn't have a quarterback? 

MosFrazTer?  Lost five games.  Could very easily have lost eight.  Lost games we didn't think there was a chance we would.  Lost some badly by the end. 

Do you remember Trotter "battling Cam Newton for the starting job until the last day of practice?"  Yeah. Sure.

What if Coker is essentially Barret Trotter (which based on what I've seen is a reasonably apt comparison)?  Blake Sims is Kiehl or worse.  The guy behind him makes Moseley look good. 

I've seen this movie before.  They're not going to fall completely off the rails, but nobody stays atop the mountain for more than three or four years at a run -- not even the sainted Bahr.  The cracks are there.  If this Coker lad isn't "the white Jameis Cam Winston Newton" they could become fissures. 

That this kind of pecker gobbling passes for "journalism" just fuels that potential earthquake.
