Thoughts - Week 2

[AUChizad]

Point of order, Oklahoma's "marquee win" is beating the ever-loving shit out of Alabama in the Sugar Bowl in January (which may or may not count because Coach Saban hath declared his team didn't want to be there).

That was last year.

Also, might I remind you, we beat them too. Why aren't we in the Top 4 yet? Why aren't we ahead of Bama?

Preaching to the choir, bud. But the answer to your question is #TheNarrative

#TheNarrative is that Auburn is lucky and therefore doesn't count. Wonder what they excuse will be when Gus and Co. drop 42 on them behind 300+ yards rushing again? #CantWait #BringIt #KStateIsNext

"When we play fast, the defense can't line up to make calls to stop the offense.  I think that's our advantage."

 

Q: To what do you credit your offensive production?
A: (after blowing 'funny guy' Lane Kiffin) "Well, we get a lot more repetitions in practice than any other team in the country, so that gives me a chance to work on things more..."

 

How the fuck do they get "more repetitions" unless they are conducting illegal practices?

[Saniflush]

He just said cause they play fast, duh!

So now it's okay to use the "gimmicky HS type offenses?"

Also, I would not doubt that uat practices a little extra than any college in the NCAA...wouldn't doubt that they've been doing it for years.

This is funny like both funny haha and funny queer. All this complaining about player safety and see what sabynz has went and done now. If you can't beat them, join them. Oh, and by the way, sabynz invented the HUNH.

[Buzz Killington]

Now that Sabbin no longer cares about player safety, how long before the national (ESPN) narrative is how great the HUNH really is?

It's just easier to communicate without going to the huddle.

I watched the replay last night. Does anyone know if Trovon and Neiko Thorpe are cousins?

Geeze Louise. I sure hope that we can get some of these kinks worked out before TAMU or we'll set Hill up for the Heisman.

I realize we are bend but not breaking but we are breaking too often. If not for errant passes, there would be a few more torches in the two games.

Thats what front 7 pressure does.

I thought it was telling that Trovon Reed was able to switch to corner and start immediately.  If Trovon had been a little more successful as a receiver or punt/kick returner, I could have been more excited about his athleticism transferring to defense.  But at a major program like Auburn, unless a receiver has ultra physical ability, it should be very difficult to crack the starting rotation as we should have a number of recruited defensive backs with experience competing for 1st string.

Not a popular line of thinking but there might be a lingering "pay your dues" mentality still present from before the Deron Furr incident. If so, the chances of seeing good coverage again are nil and any freshmen that could excel might not get noticed. Hope this is not what's taking place.
Or:
Piss poor coaching
Piss poor talent evaluation
Anything else?

It WILL get us beaten.

Montraviosity@aliciousness Adams is playing like a freak. 

The move inside has Cassanova playing like a freak.

She's a super freak.

Yes Whitey can dial up the pressure and we cannot play man or zone.

Yes Whitey can dial up the pressure and we cannot play man or zone.

The way I see it is that we won in 2010 without a stellar defensive backfield or LB corps. I would argue that we did have a stellar d front. One of the best I remember seeing.

So, can we win again like this? We prob don't have the front we had in 2010 just yet. They appear to be getting there very fast though. A little more production from some of the newer guys, Montrae keeps rolling, get Lawson back and who knows? We may be lights out.

LB is better than 2010 already, imo.

DB's? I just don't know. I think better at tackling compared to 2010-2012. But, I think teams are passing even more. I don't know the stats but it appears that way. If we can't run tighter coverage, I see trouble there from primarily TAMU and Thuga.

I feel confident we can outscore the faggies. But Thuga? We need the d to step up. Pressure will help.

The close calls were there in 2010 and last season but the DB play is now worse or as bad as I have ever seen it.

We are excellent at bending but the not breaking part is a challenge.

[Kaos]

I am amused and happy that we are debating what might cause us to slip up and lose a game when just 24 months ago the question was how were we ever going to win one.

We've had some occasional down times but for the majority of my adult life it's been pretty great to be an Auburn Tiger.  My teenage years were hell. But from the moment Pat Dye arrived things have been pretty damn good.

When Bryant was at bama we blinked. We let him impose his will on he state and us. Not this time. In the face of their Bryant Renaissance we have not backed down. Our glory years are now. And ongoing. From dye to Bowden to Tuberville to Chizik to Gus we have mostly thrived.

God bless us.

[CCTAU]

God bless us.

EVERY ONE...

Just to clarify, I never said we would lose. Just that we will need to cover better against faggies and thuga. We will. Unless, of course, we don't.

But, yes. God bless us. And God bless America. Bless your heart.
