Things I hope Spring Practice Improves...
« on: March 04, 2014, 12:24:03 PM »
 - Nick Marshall's "touch" on the ball. He had more of it in the BCSCG than in most of the season but still seems to want to hit the coast of Panama when he lets one fly.

 - Anyone playing MLB needs to improve the tackling. That goes for the DTs up front too. No more getting gashed.

 - Finding a punter and a kicker would be good too.


Anything else football-wise you hope Spring Ball works the kinks out of?

There a lot of "things" that I would like to work the kinks out of, but since you said football-wise......

I'm expecting to see some real upgrade with WR's. Also, with the addition of several DB's over the 6'-0 range, I'm expecting to see Auburns pass defense be mo betta.

I have learned to qualify that lest the post take an early detour into Bushwood.

Marshall definitely needs to up his passing game.  Two lasers and a WTF.  His underthrow/Ricardo drop in the first quarter of the BCSCG was as key to that loss as any play. I know there were a ton of others but he makes that throw and Parkey hits that chip shot FG in the first half and you can stick a fork in the Semen Holes.

And yes, we're going to have to develop a whole new kicking game in the Spring.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

The secondary.  That's a huge hope, especially with the losses of meatboi and Chris Davis.
There has been some really good DB recruiting over the past two classes, and I hope some of those young guys can step up in the spring rather than waiting on the 3rd or 4th game of the season.

You said it, Clark. Auburn's DBs have been a liability waaaaaaay too long in my book.

You can keep a wooden stake in your trunk
On the off-chance that the fairy tales ain't bunk
And Imma keep a bottle of that funk
