That I know of. Anthony Schwartz announced a couple of days ago that he's entering the draft I imagine only about half his potential was tapped in Gus' passing schemes. However, I would think the NFL scouts know enough about his speed for him to get a legit shot in the show.That's a shame about baby Ryno. Every team should have a 5'10" 165lb backup QB at the ready. Gus was a mastermind at roster management. I just hope coarch Harbinger takes a page from his playbook or we could be furked.
Also, our 41 year old back up QB, Cord Sandenburger, is jumping in that Continuum Transfunctioner thingy. He must have seen that incoming freshman QB, Dematrius Davis, accounted for 7 TD's in their 6A playoff win last week. No PT for you.

A fifth round WR and a future high school coach. Somehow I think Auburn survives this.Some of us are pretty broke up about it. Never saw ol Cord take a snap, not even in a Spring game.

He might have been the answer.
Now we'll never know.

I hate that Sandbuger is leaving, he was such a professional at holding that clipboard. I mean do we even have time to train someone else to handle that responsibility?Bo Nix?
Looks like Seth is gone as well.Wish him the best but, not entirely going to miss him. Dude became one of the laziest during the game. Had some good catches, could have been a dynamic receiver but I think he just got fed up with the Gus system and Nix.
I saw a good analogy with Seth Williams today. Someone said he's the perfect representation of Gus' tenure at Auburn. One minute he's wowing you with something spectacular, and the next you're wondering WTF just happened?No doubt the guy has talent but
As I think bgreene said above, the guy would just get lazy. It appeared to me that if he was involved and getting targets, he was as good as anybody. If not, he pretty much checked out. I was watching him on a crucial 3rd down against NW. (There actually were a couple of crucial plays for the short time we made a game of it.) I was focusing on Seth, thinking this was a perfect time for a slant to pick up the first. The guy literally jogged about 4 steps across the line and just stopped.
I'll be interested on draft day to see what the "experts" say about him, because they watch all the film and will usually call somebody out for taking plays off.
Steele was the problem all along.We can only hope. And send that Coach Hufarrurrar packing.
Now that he’s gone, they may be able to get Gus back.
We can only hope. And send that Coach Hufarrurrar packing.Coach Harbinger will put down any insurrection and purge the losing from those that remain.
fudge him like a gay bitch.Could have just said "wiregrass."
Could have just said "wiregrass."Oh you just shut up.

I lol'd your giffy. Glad to see Steele go and start fresh. Admittedly, he really turned our D around since his arrival and until this year, his unit either won or kept us in just about every game. But this year was not good at all. It's like we lost two dominant players and the rest went to shit. Nothing behind those two. The D-line recruiting, especially on the interior line, has been right on par with our O-line recruiting. It's Steele's defense and should have been made a priority. Next year could be equally tough, regardless of who takes over. Plus, when Snags can sit in his easy chair with a frosty cold one in hand and be right 9 times out of 10 when I say, "Oh look, here comes the blitz", I kind of think college coaches getting paid to figure that stuff out just might have caught on too.
Now, I'll be the first to say, and have said all along, that I believe about 3% of the garbage all these "insiders" report from their "sources familiar with those close to the situation who have knowledge of people who claim to be knowledgeable of the situation." So, I have no idea if this is true. But if Steele was trying to undermine Malzahn in any way, as many have said, then fuck him. Fuck him like a gay bitch.
If we were playing without an offensive line, Gus is dumber than I thought.He never figured that into his offense. You can't go fast, fast, fast with all those big, fat slow linemen.
Speaking of coordinators, how do you evaluate the job Morris did this year. I'm fully assuming he's gone, although I haven't seen an announcement. The offense was definitely not dynamic in any way, shape or form. But I did see some things I liked. I think he spread the ball around fairly well and also brought back a couple of things in the offense we haven't seen in a while.Yeah Morris is likely gone. Can't really be too critical of the guy.
Our top 3 receivers, Seth, Flash and Stove, had 54, 47 and 44 catches respectively. (I may have a couple of those backwards.) They had 28 completions to the backs and believe it or not, the tight ends had 20 catches. Not great, definitely underutilized, but nice to even see us have a TE in the offense as opposed to the dreaded H-Back. In addition, they actually used the slant patterns we had been calling for for years.
Tank had 834 yards in what was really limited playing time. Bo was second in rushing with 388.
The thing I didn't like the most was this fixation on throwing so many sideways passes. I can think of three games in particular where the first series of the game started with swing passes and bubble screens, all unsuccessful. And I really wanted to see more from the tight ends, but at least they put it back in the O.
I don't think you can fairly evaluate a lot of what they did because I'm sorry, this O-line was just awful. They were big enough to run block somewhat effectively, but the pass blocking was for shit. And Bo, God bless him, he's just not very accurate. Plus, any attempt at getting him to stop bailing went out the window when it became clear our tackles, starters or back ups, couldn't pass block my grandmother. And she's been dead for about 20 years.
Of course, you can say this with any team, but without an offensive line, it's impossible to tell how effective a job Morris did.
DJ Williams to FSU.Bryant the last I would have thought.
Big Kat and Newkirk portalizing.
Bryant the last I would have thought.It’s his MO. Did it first time here when Tot fired him. Tried to take takeo with him to tenn. did the same at ga when he left. He burns bridges like no one else in the conference. And keeps getting them rebuilt by someone. It’s amazing.
I think you can lay this on Garner though.
Some of us are pretty broke up about it. Never saw ol Cord take a snap, not even in a Spring game.Look how our starting QB progressed over the last two years under Gus. As back up he never had a chance.
He might have been the answer.
Now we'll never know.
One thing I’m interested in seeing is whether or not we truly see improvement in Bo Pix or if he’s just not that good. I’m really pulling for him. What worries me though, is he’s never been accurate and i dont know if you can coach that.Truth. But we also can't lose sight of the fact that young Mr. Pix is only left with a few tight ends.
It seems as though we have a lot on defense that are entering the portal. Wonder if they all go to Tennessee with SteeleA couple of them don't bother me at all. Mud Kat Bryant is more than welcome to take his "talents" somewhere else. I'm sorry, but that guy is the slowest DE I've ever seen. And Tutt made every opposing receiver look like Devonta Smith. But I honestly don't get why he would want to transfer. He's a starting DB in the SEC West. What more do you want.
It seems as though we have a lot on defense that are entering the portal. Wonder if they all go to Tennessee with SteeleYeah I thought Steele made us into a better tackling team overall in his time here. Also recruited as well as any before, particularly corners. It's just that the defense seemed incumbent on having an elite edge pass rusher which we started lacking.
Dequan Newkirk is the one that I hate to see leave the most. Granted, he couldn't start for 75% or 251/325ths of the teams in the SEC, but he was a big, strong kid who could occasionally plug the middle and make a play. If True decides not to take that 5th year, we've got exactly squat in the middle of our D-line. If anybody could stomach the bowl game, you saw #76 getting most of the reps at nose guard. Who is #76 in your program, #1 in your hearts you may ask? True freshman, Jeremiah Wright. Recruited as a 3* offensive lineman out of Selma. That my friends, is about the best we've got on the roster right now for the interior D-line.Now that's a pretty picture!
Just saw that Tobechi Okoli is not a freshman, but is coming from JUCO. Check out some of his film. He may help right away. Strong as hell and gets off blocks more gooder. He was playing both on the interior and DE in his highlights.Kid looks really good. Jay Hardy and Zekeviousness Walker came here with some noise like LeeHunter as well. Might not be as disastrous as it looks. :rolleyes:

He was pretty solid from what I could tell. I'm still waiting on Derick Hall to be that alpha dog on the outside. This is just me spit balling here, but if he just doesn't have that burst to consistently get around the corner, would he be better served at 240 to take on KJ Britt's role at LB?

We will be in the playoffs in 36 months or lessCool. I heard predictions for alien disclosure that coincide with this.
