Feels like summer is too. Took off yesterday and did yard work, cleaning up the winter weeds and crap, trimming hedges and slinging about 25 bales of pine straw. It's the end of February and I spent all day swatting gnats and mosquitoes. Really?
Other than yard work, the Tigers report today for the first day of Spring practice. I can feel the buzz in the air. No really, it's a damn bee that won't leave me alone. So:
Sean White appears to be out while the arm heals. (GF, we need insider updates on his status) Obviously, that means Stidham will get that many more reps. I sincerely hope they move Barrett up the ladder and give him substantial reps. In the meantime, either teach Clifford Franklin XXVII to return punts, catch passes or fit him with a keen Sodexo shirt.
Anxious to hear quotes from the offensive players to see if it sounds like Lindsey is really running his offense or if it's just Lashlee Light. I'll believe Malzahn is relinquishing control when I see it. I just have this suspicion that it's going to look exactly the same.
Losing Lawson and Montravelosity will be a blow. However, we've got serious numbers on D at every position. I think the main focus will be finding out who will be the man (menz) to get pressure off the edge. There's no reason this defense can't be top 3 in the conference. (Behind the next greatest D since 92', of course)
We have a 3-story, garbage can nailing long snapper coming who will get the opportunity to learn behind a seasoned veteran. The competition there could be the talk of Spring camp. Not for the faint of heart.
Thoughts? Anything you're looking for? Anyone going to the game?

Report on our local talk show says Kyle Davis is out right now for "personal reasons". Troof??? Anyone...anyone? Also said Markell Boston no longer with the team. Anyone? Bueller?

Stephen Davis Jr, is no longer with the team.
Also Deon Mix (who?) and Cameron Toney (who?) are Graduated Seniors and are transferring to play ball somewhere else.

Is there an owl in here?
Deon was pretty highly rated coming out of HS but could never get in the mix. :rimshot:
Somebody give me the warm fuzzies and tell me Kyle Davis will be back and ready to go. Okay, just saw these little blurbettes from Gus' tell-nothing presser.

Day 1 in the books and after watching very detailed, in-depth film of the QB's handing the ball off, I'm calling National Championship, baby.
What?
It looked like the drills they were running had Stidham at #1 and Barrett with the 2's. Given the injury situation with White, that's exactly what I would hope for. For me, the two biggest things with this offense are Lindsey putting in a real passing game and having a QB to stay healthy all season running it.
Let me say that if Stidham or Barrett were to show out and win the job over White, that means we'll be that much better in 17'. Because if you could assure me that Sean White would be healthy for a full season and start every game, I'd be perfectly fine with that. I'd say we would definitely contend for the West. Despite all the naysayers, the guy has proven to me that when he's healthy, we're really good. When he went down the last 2 years, we were a turd floating in the ocean. So, if he's healthy or either of the other two beat him out, I'm really looking forward to this season.
As far as the passing game, I've said this before but last season, I had two different HS coaches tell me that if AU got in a situation where they had to come from behind by passing, we'd be lucky to string together 2-3 first downs, with or without a good QB. I know it was HS coaches but they both recognized that the passing schemes were junior high at best. If the running game is clicking like is necessary in CGM's system, then play action is always there. If they have to pass, another turd in the ocean. Anyways, that's what I want to see changed under Lindsey more than anything else.
Maybe War Eagle!!! could chime in. I believe he knows a thing or three about the position.

I've seen a few of his hype videos on Twitter and they don't sit well with me, but that's probably generational.
I hope he embraces the switch like Kodi did. He's got a ton of talent and could be a difference maker if he can check his ego.

I hope the kid does well, but personally, I'm pulling for Jason Smith to finish his career skrong! He had some huge plays in 2015, few as they were, and looked like he could be a stud. But I think the combination of the influx of so many big dog freshman receivers and the total lack of a passing game pre-Sean and post-Sean, had him lost in the shuffle.
I read an article a while back where his quotes were very much Kodi-esque in saying he just wanted to contribute and help all the young guys as much as possible. He may be one you see on the sidelines too one day.
-
FYI...Kyle Davis is not back. In fact, he's out "indefinitely" or until his personal bidness is handled, whichever comes first. Too bad, because he was one hell of a shot blocker for Cliff Ellis.

Not too fond of them either but it seems to be a common thing now. I do like, however, his strong desire to take any position changes the coaches make serious. Like you said, he has a ton of talent. He could make a helluva WR if he continues to take it serious.

Show me all his records in the books? Oh, that's right. There probably at Jax St. or Troy or whereever he ended up transferring to. Give me a 200+ back with an attitude any day. The ONLY answer in modern era that would be worth entertaining is Brad Lester who scored a lot of TDs but didn't gain mondo yards.

So would Onterrio MaCalebb. I was just about to say the same thing. Really, I was.
Anyways, I don't see what the problem is. He's working at receiver. If...and that's a big if, he makes it consistently in the rotation, he'll only be asked to get what, 5-6 touches a game? If that.

Not sure of the problem actually. It seems to me the guy is trying to get as much work in as he can in hopes to be of value for the team. The drills he is doing are typical speed and agility drills tailored for a WR produced by an athletic trainor. Six is just jealous he can't do those drills without a trip to the ER.

I never found Martin short or Dana carvey that funny either but many did. I wouldn't call them terrible though. Chappelle from the old days was decent. That shit on Netflix is not the dave of old. I think that was more the point. For him it was horrible.

BIL and another guy I know, who's son played DE for the Planesmen, went to some practices and a scrimmage last week. Both said they have no idea how he'll do if he wins the job, but Stidham is definitely poised and has a rifle arm. White with the 2's and Malik Willis running with the 3's. Woody Barrett at the bottom of the chart. At least on those days.
Lindsey apparently loves to throw quick passes to the slot. The ole, "Get it to him in space" theory. I either read the same from one of you on here or in an article recently. Will Hastings was running the slot and caught err'thang.
The defensive front is Snags level stacked. (Yes, they used that term) Up and comer may be Nick Coe. Big, skrong and quick. He looked slow as molasses to me last year but he was coming off an injury the practice I watched. They were raving about the guy. Also said the DB's looked like a totally different group. Very physical and in your face, making a ton of plays.
Only negative was that the D-line was owning that ass. Could be a good thing but they said the O-line was whipped pretty good.
Scrimmaged for about 125 plays.

I've been wanting us to do more quick slot dink and doink "in space" shit for years. Everyone else eats us up with it the last 2/3 years. Including the la techs on our schedule.

Yep. We've had so many smaller, quicker guys that looked like they had the potential to do more gooderer things, but we never tried to consistently get them the ball in a position to do anything. Stanton Truitt immediately comes to mind. He ain't here no mo. He'd be that guy at La. Tech that had 7 catches for 75 yards by halftime and we're all going, "Damn it, somebody step up and hit that guy."
I can see Eli Stove or Jason Smith kicking ass on those quick hitters.

Armchair QB observations from the "We don't give a shit about your observations" book of observations.
You know how you sit down and watch teams around the country like Texas Tech and Baylor and Houston etc. and see their QB's look like QB machines, making all the throws and racking up 400 yards a game and 187 TD's on the season and think, "Why can't we have nice things like that?" +1 to AU1
We do now!
Nuff said.
#3 QB Malik Willis is pretty damn good, y'all. Skrong, accurate arm and fast runner. Should be picking out a tux for HS prom. I'll probably eat these words but Barrett should transfer. Soon!
The BIL said he watched them throw to Hastings over and over again in practice. Apparently, dude is a weapon. Craig-Myers? Wow. Offense could be really good. Carry On looked like he fricked up an ankle. Any word on TV about that? He worries me. Great player but stays injured like Sean White.
#1 Defense is huge, fast, salty and other cool adjectives. DeShaun Davis is 5'11" 247 and nasty. All the LB's are top shelf. Guarantee they're as good a unit as this conference has. One guy that impressed me was Paul Blard James XXIV. 271 pound stand up DE/LB that has a motor. You can tell he's ADHD. Too bad he stayed injured last year. He gets after it and is pretty darn quick off the edge.
Long snapping? Adequate but a couple of shaky passes. Gonna' need some soul searching and serious reps over the summer. I'm watching.
Carlson handled both kicking and punting duties. Did a decent job punting but I wonder if Ian Shannon was hurt. You're a damn punter. How do you get hurt?
You know I'm a heights and weights kinda' guy. We are again, noticeably bigger and stronger. Dontavious Russell is up to 310. Andrew Williams is now 285. Braden Smith put on another 5 to check in at 305. Monster. All the LB's who came to AU in that 220 to 225 range like Tre, Deshaun, Darrell etc. are all 235 to 247. Derrick Brown has dropped to 317.
I don't read much into A-Day as far as how we'll do. Suffice it to say all the pieces of the puzzle are there. It's up to the staff to make it work now. If they do, look out. If they don't with this much talent? Buh-Bye!
On an insider e-penis note....got to talk with Tommy Tuberville briefly before the came. We were having a lot of laughs and rehashing some old times until security got there. I thought the choke hold and mace were a little excessive. But overall, a good time.
-
I'm calling it now: Will Hastings for Heisman.
-
I only had one concern. Stidham can pick you apart with time. Will we get time? If so, dude is even more accurate than SW.
He definitely knows when to let go of the ball. Drops it over and under.
Saw a check down to Hastings on a 5 yd crossing route that went for 30. Had to look around and make sure I was really at AU!
This team has the potential to be very good!
Oh. And the best seats in the house are now in the endzone opposite the huge seen from space jumbalaya Tron!

I thought the offense looked a lot better, but we have to remember that Gus likes to play 1's vs. 2's in the spring game. It's supposed to be a fun, optimistic look at the team and provide very little real information for anyone especially opponents.
Stidham is definitely the best passer I've seen at Auburn since Cam. If anything, I just like his ability to survey the field and make the throw without second guessing what he's doing. He's extremely confident and his accuracy will keep us in ball games.
The 2nd team defense though was abysmal, but I hear that a few walk-ons were filling in some spots. That's still not good as our 2-deep should always include scholarship players. Our aspirations are to join the Alabama's and Ohio State's of the world, and I'm sure their 2-deep includes multiple future stars/pro players at each position.

Carlson handled both kicking and punting duties. Did a decent job punting but I wonder if Ian Shannon was hurt. You're a damn punter. How do you get hurt?
Carlson also assumed punting duties on Saturday in place of Ian Shannon, who missed A-Day due to a death in the family this week, according to Gus Malzahn.

1's v 1's this year.
Nope...you're correct. I could have sworn that I read an "anti-caveat" in one write up saying that the first teams were pitted against each other. Oh well, I'll leave the wrongness up there for public shaming.

The QB race reminds me of the time the Dillon Panthers had to choose between Matt Saracen and J.D. McCoy.

I haven't been feeling great in several weeks since I had a surgery go wrong. But watching this A day makes me feel tingly. Stidham and Craig-Meyers make me happy. Malik Willis is promising ðŸ‘
I need to watch again to check out the D but so far Chip Lindsay gets my approval. Great offensive performance.

It doesn't take a brain surgeon....oh sorry. It's pretty clear that we have a QB and a ton of receivers that will light up the Jacobtron Super XE 4,000 FanCamBoard. The first team D didn't allow squat all day. Very fast, very big, very salty.
This year could be very interesting.

Which defensive player did you taste of?
-
I watched the thing on TV at 4:30 this morning.
My observations:
1) Kerryon Johnson and Sean White are made of spun sugar. Breathe on them and they break. I felt bad for Johnson because he was having a great day.
2) Hard to tell what the defense is going to do because they were so limited.
3) At least our defense didn't cause the game to be stopped and generate the first ejection for targeting in the history of spring games. Looking at you, Mississippi State. How stupid can you possibly be.
4) Crowd was fair. I'm sure we'll be roundly ridiculed for only having 45,000 or so in attendance. It's a spring game, not a test of loyalty.
5) For the first time that I can remember we have a quarterback that actually LOOKS like a quarterback. He's got fluidity, his release is quarterbacky, his trajectory is right, his footwork is spot on and I even saw him check down a few times. I saw him throw with touch and on a line. I saw him lay balls over the defense and thread needles. I like Sean White, I really do. I hate it for him, but Stidham has the look and feel of an honest to goodness legit quarterback. I tried to think back to a time when we had a QB who had a full bag of tools and the same kind of polish Stidham does. I couldn't find one in my memory banks. For as long as I can remember we've either had a kid playing his guts out and above his head (White, Brandon Cox, Ben Leard, Randy Campbell, Chris Tood, Daniel Cobb), somebody with insane talent that made things work (Cam, Nick Marshall, Dameyune) or we've had a clusterfuck (Fraztrotersly, Kodi). The closest I guess we've come to having a "quarterback quarterback" is either Jason Campbell or Jeff Burger unless you dip all the way back to Sullivan. I know I've only seen a half, and a spring game half at that, but Stidham aced the eye test. He looks in command and in control.
-
I finally watched the game as well.
I'll echo all the praise being heaped on Stidham. I'm not terribly sure I wouldn't go ahead and make Malik Willis my #2B option. The QBs actually look like they've been getting some coaching...or maybe it's just that the two kids on campus the least amount of time are showing their lack of un-development with Gus.
The receivers are getting a chance to make plays and we're seeing the results of that last WR haul. NCM, Slayton and Davis (presuming he gets back) are the deep threats we need to keep the middle of the field open. Throw in Stove for the jet sweep and McClain as the wildcard and we've got hands all over the field. The check down to that late drag pattern where Hastings makes his living will be deadly if the OLine can provide the protection.
RBs will be fine with the depth we have, but goddamnit we need Kerryon to toughen up a bit...and Kam Martin to learn to hold onto the ball.
There was even action to the TEs...what a novel concept.
Can't tell much about the defense, but we have size, speed and numbers.
There is zero excuse for failing to win 9 in the regular season. The schedule is tough, but it's not much tougher than any other odd-year SEC schedule. We get Clemson without most of their weapons and could get a resume-building win in the Palmetto State early in the season.

I'll admit that Kerryon has weak ankles, but that was going to happen to anyone that got tackled and had his ankle rolled up on like that.
