Sounds like Auburn needs a real WR coach.

That’ll be the day. Yeah, right.

As if AU would hire a black WR coach.

I'm expecting 8-4 with a win in College Station, but I'll still be displeased with Gus if (when) he drops games to our three biggest rivals plus Clemson, who might as well be 4th.

 Sorry,right now we are not a rival to any of them.

Noun 1. rivalry - the act of competing as for profit or a prize rivalry - the act of competing as for profit or a prize; "the teams were in fierce contention for first place"

Yeah, the drops are getting to be frustrating big time.  I don't know what the answer is.  My big ass has only played WR in David Dunbar's back yard where I often dominated by catching pass after pass just past the last azalea bush, which served as the goal line. 

Yes, in your face.

But how hard could it be?  Most of these guys played WR in high school.  They go through summer workouts, which include working with the QB's and probably catching hundreds of passes.  They practice just about every day through the Fall camp and then during the season.  I know they're doing all kinds of specific drills. I've seen them.  These kids have literally caught thousands and thousands of passes.  It should be second nature

I'm not defending Burns here, but what could he possibly be doing wrong?  I'm sure there's plenty of technique involved but would this just be more of a concentration issue? We get pissed at Kodi but I'm fairly certain his instructions don't go like this:

"You need to close your eyes just before the ball gets there.  And try holding your hands farther apart.  No, wider than that.  Yeah, about two feet apart.  It'll be fine. Just use the force."

YOU CANT COACH HOW TO CATCH A BALL.

Well, the competition wasn't all that much back in the day.

I'm thinking we need a big jar of rice and some batteries.

Fred could teach them a thing or two about stickum.

[jmar]

So you are OK with Slayton's 8 or 9 dropped passes the last two games? All passes that hit him in the hands? Two in the LSU game that could have changed the game! Oh. And in that same game, a dropped pass to Sal that would have been a first down at the end of the game. All of these drops are OK?

Then that settles it, KB is a great WR coach and the WRs are doing just fine. No more bitching about the WRs y'all!

No I am not ok but if you are going to use him as a wide receiver you need to throw to him. That said,
I never mentioned Slayton's stone hands, but Canella with slightly fewer drops and opportunities.
Nothing is settled for me as long as we have Gus Malzahn meddling with Lindsey.

I'm expecting

Congratulations.

Yes, yes you can. I agree, there should be a remedial football page for folks like WT.

Guess what gang?
Kodi can attend coaching clinics and watch You Tube videos teaching athletic-type kids how to catch more better.
All is not lost.

GH and GF are better at untangling jmar’s coded messages but I must say that the brown derby pie isn’t shaved ice on Friday. It’s a go for the bacon shoe and your gum balls being sticky.

That would be true except for the egg plant over there.

Aah...grapefruit chewys

Kodi Burns is a helluva coach.
That's all you need to know.

I'm expecting

Congratulations.

He's gonna be a soccer player...he is ...he is!

I think we lose to aTm, JawJaw and bammer

If we lose cause of shitty play calling, Gus should be given a coach ticket on Spirit airlines with 3 stops and 2 hour lay overs at each stop for his ride home.
