As is the case 100% of the time. Birdman shows more credibility than the assdouche Perry. See, Perry, just tell it like it is. It's simple.
Tez didn't practice at all in the Spring, rumors were going around that he'd quit the team at that point. He came back during the early part of the Fall practices and Coach Trooper said that he's going to give him the first shot, because of he wanted to see what he could do, after a few practices Coach Troop said that if he can continue doing what he'd seen of him, he'll be in the 1st group of receivers alongside Darvin and Terrell. Coach Troop also said that he's going to continue to push Tez and that there won't be any "bar lowering". These comments by Coach Troop was on (8-10-09).
So, going into the Spring he was slated to be one of the starting WRs, seeing as he was one of our most experienced WRs coming back. He came back during the early part of Fall practices and was "starting" to be slated to become one of the starting receivers.
Then on (8-23-09), Coach Troop said that neither Montez Billings or Philip Pierre-Louis will be part of the playing rotation until they're released by head coach Gene Chizik. They're both practicing and trying to return from off-the-field issues.
"I put (Billings) back down with the scout team and brought him back for different scenarios," Taylor said. "Until he gets everything cleared with Coach and back on page with doing things right, he and Philip are still in the same boat. Both of those guys have to prove they want to be Auburn Men to be back out there."
So really, Tez was only slated to be one of the starting receivers before the Spring. After that, it was up in the air as the coaches moved on to the other receivers. Now, if Tez had been practicing with the starting group in the Spring, then going into the early Fall practices he continues practicing with the starting group of receivers, even after he's gotten the word from the NCAA that he won't be able to start until the 4th game, then yeah I'd say this is a huge blow to our receiving corps. Again, since he hasn't been with the team that much or not at all since the Spring, it is not that much of blow. I would've liked to have seen what he could do in this offense.
