A few random thoughts from this weekend.
Clearly, Coach MalMor reigned in the offense and went more run heavy with Tank and quicker, easier passes for Nix. I would hope they keep that same approach this Saturday with one exception. It wasn't until late in the game that they attempted to get the ball down field. They went to that bubble screen about 10 times too often and even a horrible D like Ole Miss put a stop to that. They need to make a couple of throws down field off play action so LSU won't stack the box on em'.
One positive that I will attribute to Chadkins. We definitely have the slant in our arsenal now. Not much else, but the slant is finally a part of Auburn football.
I have officially given up hope that anyone will step up and become a force off the edge for our defense. Mud Kat Bryant has to be the slowest, most uninvolved player I've ever seen at Auburn. I've talked up Derick Hall for a year and a half now, but that guy ain't much better. Colby Wooden is probably our best D-lineman, but he's not fast off the edge either. It's been a while.
Somebody got in Jamien Sherwood's ear after the Cock fight, because he went about his business and acted like he's been there before. It wouldn't have hurt my feelings at all if they had kicked his classless, thug ass off after last week. None of you are very good. Just play ball and shut the hell up.
