homersapien 11,357 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 So what are the actual hours of practice? And is there any particular reason these photos are all inside? And thanks so much for your reporting. This site is ausome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUEngineer2016 407 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 So what are the actual hours of practice? And is there any particular reason these photos are all inside? It's currently 91 degrees outside, and that is 2 hours after they practiced. They do work outside, but generally it is after the media viewing portion. I'm not sure if that is for the player's benefit or the media's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunInRed 16,381 Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 Tracking Gus Malzahn's post-practice presser ... Gus: "I feel like our older guys really responded to our challenge and just the standard of practice."... Auburn will be in shells tomorrow. Young guys will get in there with the older guys, too. ... Gus says the four RBs (Roc, Peyton, Jovon and Kerryon) will get "somewhat equal" reps this fall camp. ... Gus on Blake Countess: You can tell he's a veteran guy. He catches on real quick. ... He understands, and that's the big thing." ... More Gus on Countess: "Encouraged that he's really going to be able to help us." ... Gus on Stanton Truitt: He's healthy. "It's encouraging." Says it's really the first time since he's been here that he's been fully healthy ... Gus on Kozan: "I feel like he can" be the same player he was in 2013 -- "or better." @AUBlog Our young guys are still learning.... Malzahn said Day 2 was "overall a solid day." ... Malzahn on Jonathan Wallace: "We've got some young guys mixed in there with the older guys." Says Wallace wasn't hurt. ... Malzahn: "You want to give young guys as much chance a chance as possible to succeed." @RyanABlack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunInRed 16,381 Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 Alex Kozan Alex Kozan up next. Says it feels great to be back out there fully healthy. "I missed it last year, so it's great to be back out here"... Kozan on leader of OL: We're trying to establish that. "All the guys on our line are older players, so really all of us need to be leaders" ... Kozan says him, Avery Young and Shon Coleman don't discuss looking ahead to NFL. Focus is on this season, getting Auburn back on top ... Kozan on if it gets annoying when people stop him on street to talk team/injury: "Not so much for me, since I'm an O-lineman." @AUBlog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunInRed 16,381 Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 Blake Countess Michigan grad transfer CB Blake Countess up now. Said Auburn felt like a perfect fit. "Felt like we could do something special"... Which word does Countess use to describe Muschamp? "Intense." Obviously. Said Muschamp and T-Rob affected his decision to come to Auburn ... Countess reached out to Kris Frost during decision process. The two played in the US Army All-America Bowl together in high school @AUBlog Blake Countess was not told he'd need to try out to keep his spot at Michigan. Some reports out there of similar practices under Harbaugh.... Blake Countess on differences between Michigan and Auburn: "The heat, the tempo." Strength program also different. @bmarcello Countess said Auburn runs the same defense that he ran at Michigan. "The terminology is a lot of the same stuff."... Countess: "Coming in, they're a new staff here on defense. ... They told me they didn't really a have standout in the spring." @RyanABlack "the opportunity is there... I'm here to work."@AUGoldMine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passthebiscuits 6,844 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Notes from practice from my observation: Lots of standing around to me so far this year. Outside portion is hot! Hope the pace picks up. Countess looks good. Like Matthews also. Oline looks solid and I like our receivers. RBs gonna be great, and I predict roc and Javon getting equal reps game 1. Interesting to see Monty in the twos but I think for now that they have their best out there with the ones. I can already see a difference in approach with our safeties and corners. For example on bubble screens we typically laid back for the tackle and subsequently get blocked out of the play. I think it will be obvious the aggressive (IMO better) approach to the corners particularly to the muschamp way. Last, so great to see some of these guys that the med staff has worked so hard to rehab like Coleman Kozan Lawson and others looking so good.

RunInRed 16,381 Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 Shon Coleman Coleman said he is a lot more comfortable and a lot more confident, technique-wise, with everything he is doing in pass protection now@AUBlog Shon Coleman on no pads: "It's hard out there. We want to get out there and bang a little bit"... Coleman said the O-lineman are trying to make it easier on Coach Grimes following his surgery last week ... Coleman believes Alex Kozan will be able to pick up where he left off in 2013, if not be even better than he was. ... Starting left tackle Shon Coleman: "I think we (the offensive line) have got a lot of potential." @RyanABlack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunInRed 16,381 Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 Josh Holsey Josh Holsey on deck. Pretty much told Blake Countess he needed to come to Auburn.... Holsey to Countess: "If you come down here, you'll have a chance to help us right away -- and compete for a national championship." ... Holsey said it wasn't difficult to put personal pride aside when Countess joined. "It's competition to me." Said Blake makes 2ndary better ... Holsey on walk-on DB Michael Sherwood's "Dirty Mike" nickname: "One of our (HS) coaches called him that in our first practice." ... More Holsey on nickname: Said he came w/ dirty cleats, dirty socks, dirty shorts and coach just said 'You look like a Dirty Mike.' It stuck. ... Holsey on haircuts of entire secondary: "We wanted to do something different. We wanted to stand out." Said TJ Davis started the trend. ... Holsey said most common question he gets from people on street/in class: How is Muschamp? His answer? "He's intense." @AUBlog Joshua Holsey politely told me I wouldn't understand the difference between Northern/Southern DB playing styles because I'm not a FB player.@RyanABlack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homersapien 11,357 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 So what are the actual hours of practice? http://www.aufamily....ctice-schedule/ That doesn't show the actual practice interval. It's apparently a post-practice press schedule. And is there any particular reason these photos are all inside? It's currently 91 degrees outside, and that is 2 hours after they practiced. They do work outside, but generally it is after the media viewing portion. I'm not sure if that is for the player's benefit or the media's. OK that's about what I assumed, they utilize both venues daily. I am still curious about the whole process. In high school we were doing two-a-days at this time. (I was constantly dehydrated.) I'd like to know what a typical day in this era is like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
