alexava 6,972 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Go back and watch all the AU games Danielson has called starting all the way back to the game in the Swamp in 1994 ( a victory which ranks in the top ten victories all time by AU. Don't think I have felt higher about a tiger victory than after that game...) Danielson has a great ability to predict what is going to happen on a preceding play. Verne is a harmless and good-natured doofus but Danielson is the real deal I think. He also tends to like AU which can't help but make you like him. Damn, how much longer? Yeah I've always liked Danielson's analysis--he actually does his homework. Danielson is as good as there is. Why CBS keeps Verne is a mystery. Danielson does a decent job of patching verne's blunders but after they happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PythagoreanTiger 9 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 As many others have already said, I actually respect Gary as a commentator. Verne just makes watching CBS broadcasts unbearable. It's unfortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUTigers910 45 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Of course talent doesn't always equate to wins but I tend to agree based on pure speculation. Judging based solely on talent and not performance on the field (please don't roast me for placing linebackers) one could make a case for the following players with a legitimate shot at making an NFL team one day: Jeremy Johnson Roc Thomas Jovon Robinson Duke Williams Ricardo Louis Avery Young Braden Smith Austin Golson Alex Kozan Shon Coleman Carl Lawson Byron Cowart Montravious Adams Dontavious Russell Davonte Lambert Tre Williams Casanova McKinzy Kris Frost Jonathan Jones Rudy Ford Tray Matthews Daniel Carlson Even possibly: Peyton Barber Tony Stevens Devonte Danzy Blake Countess Disclaimer* I'm not saying every single one of these players will play on Sundays. But we certainly do have loads of talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 ^Oh, you're not even getting started. A legit shot at making the NFL? I just went down the roster and counted around 60 guys. Obviously it won't come close to that, but since we're big fans of potential these days, yeah, I'll go with 60 who I wouldn't count out today. I mean, can anybody tell me for sure that a Richard McBryde or a Kaleb Kim won't play on Sundays? Heck, Mike Horton is a 3* true freshman who was projected by those in the know to move over to DL. Now he's the talk of camp and is our 2nd string left tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StatTiger 3,188 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I fully believe that this team is more physically gifted than our 2010 team, from top to bottom. The questions I have about this team revolve more around leadership and experience at key positions. I agree. 2015 roster is likely more talented on paper than 2010 in terms of 4-5 star talent but the 2010 team was loaded with experience, something the 2015 roster severely lacks.

lost 452 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I Like Danielson. But I also know this is entertainment, so let us remember that also. Nevertheless, Overall I think Auburn's talent with the additions they have this year is the best they have had also since 2010. I am glad I will be at the game to miss the play by play though.

lca408 365 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I think the team has experience at a few key positions. For instance, the O-line is actually pretty talented AND experienced with the exception of Braden Smith who played in only a handful of games last year. I'll take the coaches' word for it that it's a deep position though and view the line as a strength. We have some experienced receivers and the linebacker corps is pretty experienced, even if the linebackers themselves are a bit inconsistent. Secondary starters have plenty of experience but depth behind them is lacking. Problem areas with experience are quarterback (potentially), tailback, receiver depth, special teams (sort of), and D-line (half and half - of the 8 linemen in the 4 position 2 deep, 5 have playing experience at Auburn, 3 are newcomers to the FBS game). I don't think QB will be a big problem given what we've seen from JJ and the sheer confidence the staff and team seem to have in him and I also doubt experience at RB is going to be a huge problem but DL and ST are both concerns. I don't think it will be too much of an issue against Louisville. It'll be an issue on Sept 19th in Baton Rouge, or during the stretch from October 15th through November 14th. Who knows how well the team will respond under that kind of pressure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Our center has never played center before. We're hoping mightily for significant improvement from our LT. We're still not sure who our best LG is. Kozan didn't play last year. Our RG played as much TE as he did OL last year. Our backup RT is a true freshman. In fact, there's almost no D1 experience behind any of our starters. Our 1s on the OL total about half the starts that last year's did, and that includes Golson's full season at a different position. "Wait and see" does not equal "forecasting doom". I'm optimistic about our potential, but I have no illusions about our experience- or, more appropriately, lack thereof. Eight true freshmen on the two-deep. Eight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eight true freshmen on the two-deep. Eight. you make good points. but the fact that kozan is still locked i a battle to start tells me guard is in good shape. tackles, at least as good as last year and need some pass protection improvement. center, like you say, new guys but 2 we feel good about. it can sound great or scary. i honestly have no idea how good the opponent is. i didn't watch a game of their's last year. maybe that is why i love it. anything can happen.

caleb1633 1,418 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I'm glad a lot of the Auburn fans seem to have tempered their expectations this season. Last season everyone was expecting 15-0 and didn't seem to think there was any way it wouldn't happen. I think a lot of the concerns people are posting are legit, but I don't think we lose more than 1 or 2 games and we win the SEC West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgufcm 4,096 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 The OL is solid. If Coleman looked so good we never even contemplated moving Avery over, I'm not worried about LT. Kozan was the best Guard in the conference two years Danzey was a plus Guard last year, and Dampeer isn't a high schooler with only practice reps. Yet Braden Smith is the Guard we knew was a starter. That's as good a top 8 as we've had in recent memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
