Special Season For Auburn?

[RWS]

If they quite doing so then Auburn loses an element of surprise. Everybody knows you can't predict what play is in the making when Kodi comes in the game.

True enough. Kodi is a great athlete, and a true dual threat whenever he comes in on Wildcat. However, I don't think it would be a bad idea to try Dyer a few times in the Wildcat on a shotgun snap a little later on in the season. Sure, you're telegraphing that it's going to be a run play, but the kid has a great combination of skill, size, and speed. Let him read the gaps and give him that extra second to read where his hole will be.

Auburn was tied for 3rd nationally in red zone offense in 2009, and we know what Auburn did in the red zone most of the time, as did most other teams, that's right, the wildcat...yet we scored at a 95% rate in the red zone in 2009.  In 2008 Kodi accounted for 8 total TDs last year.  Most of which were red zone I suspect.  In 40 trips, we scored 38 times, 27 of which were TDs.  I see no reason to mess what what obviously works, unless you know you can better it.  Cam is a better athlete, faster, bigger, and passes better, but do the rewards outweigh the risks of getting him hurt in a goal line dive or a play like Kodi score on Saturday?  Just some things to think about.

I THINK....someone needs to teach big Cam the art of the baseball slide.  I loved the hell out of seeing him get down prior to contact on more than one occasion Saturday.  But the duck and dive means eventually he's going to take shot to the head or shoulder or separate a shoulder by just diving into the turf.  This kid looks smooth and totally comfortable back there. I want him for all 12-13-14 games.

I'm heartend by the fact that he already knows to dive...a little coaching in the art of it will be even better.  Agree, he needs to slide feet first, but it's clear they've been on his ass about not trying to run over folks, as he's plenty capable.

I'm thinking there'll be enough Reed at the wildcat QB position to take Kodi out of the equation on all those opportunities.  Just a hunch...

Based on?  And why do you hate Kodi?

1.  Trooper Taylor and other contributors on other boards (Rivals, Scout...).

2.  Quit reading so much negativity into my posts.  I never said I hate Kodi.

3.  I called it "a hunch".  Means it's a guess, or opinion based on what I've seen and read.

Yeah.  I question you like that all the time. I'm sure you can find many examples.  Good point, Francis.
