Anyone know the extent of the injured defensive players? I noticed in Steele's interview this week that there were a couple DB's injured. He did say they would be ready for gametime, but you can still play injured. Carlton Davis did that all last year. I just want to know if our defensive players will start the season 100%, especially in the secondary.

Not really a hype video, but fun to watch. 15 days to go...

This is my reaction when I read the posts from those people:

I don't know why everyone is attacking each other on here. We are all on the same team, and it is not why I created this thread. If the moderators don't stop some of this I will have to delete my thread. I do not want to be a source for people to direct insults and hate at one another.

I have the al.com Auburn Football App (*gasp*). A lot of their articles make me mad as I can't stand most of their writers, but they do a good job of pushing alerts to my phone on relevant stuff. Nothing overboard, only things that I would actually want to know right away like if we get a commitment, injury, etc.

I got an alert that he is transferring. Anyone have news or an update? He just had an interview stating he would not do this.

Who is this Jarrett Stidham character? Never heard of him. I thought we were focused on the punter, and the punter only...

What is the whole starting line, do you know? And how do you feel about the line, compared to how we played at the end of last year? Any drop off, or just as good? Do you think Tega will be ready for that position protecting that edge? Also, when is the official announcement supposed to happen? I need to see it in stone!

If my memory serves me right, Smith owns the squats as well and has owned it for years. In high school he was already squating over 500 lbs.

This could be an issue as we really need him out there this Fall

Huh mine hasn't come in yet. Maybe tomorrow. I'm in section 2! We have been there for 8 years now I think.

One thing to consider is historically our left tackles improve drastically from starting year one to two. Two perfect examples were Greg Robinson and Shon Coleman. I do like Hand, so I fully trust in who he starts. I can't wait to see Tega out there eventually. That guy is huge. I am waiting for him to literally pick up a defender and push him back so far he goes off the field like in the movie, "The Blind Side."

I actually say yes and wholeheartedly believe it. Why? Well let's think about it. Chip Lindsey is supposed to balance out the offense correct? And we have two accurate quarterbacks, if not three. What does this do to defenses? It prevents defenses from stacking the boxes and opens up running lanes for our running backs where they can get huge chunks at a time. Last year when Sean went down, defenses knew we could only run the ball. A great example is the Vanderbilt game where the box was stacked every single play. Even with the boxes stacked, KP still got over 1,000 yards. Imagine what he will do with less defenders in his way. I also predict we will have two 1,000 yard rushers.

Any word on what it is for both players with braces on their knees? Hopefully nothing torn? Knee injuries freak me out. I don't like that limp either. I looked the same way when I first tore my meniscus

It really is. Since I am staring at it, I thought I would post a picture of it. The second photo is the wall in which it sits next to autographed photos of Steve Carell (The Office), and Jane Goodall (animal activist). And this is just one wall. The other walls also have autographs too but I won't make you guys see those.
