In the meantime: "Pat Dye: Auburn 'a year away from having a full deck of cards'" http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2012/08/pat_dye_auburn_a_year_away_fro.html "Sammie Coates Discusses Preseason Practice", Jason Cauldwell post 7:05 p.m. Ryan Wood @AUBlog #Auburn defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder said first fall scrimmage was "sloppy," but "much needed." Joel A. Erickson @wareagleextra Brian VanGorder: "It was sloppy, but much-needed. Live reps are of great value to us. We've got a lot of guys in the developmental phase." Jason Caldwell @ITATJason Brian VanGorder said the first scrimmage was sloppy, but much needed. He said the live reps are good for the defense as are bad experiences Jason Caldwell @ITATJason VanGorder said the one defense played pretty good, but then they allowed some explosive plays. Joel A. Erickson @wareagleextra VanGorder: "For a majority of it, our No. 1's played pretty good, but we gave up a number of explosive plays." #Auburn Ryan Wood @AUBlog VanGorder: "Live reps are good. And bad experiences are good right now." Said D would be mostly good, give up explosive play. Inconsistent. Joel A. Erickson @wareagleextra VanGorder: "We've got to tackle better, but I kind of expected that today." #Auburn Jason Caldwell @ITATJason VanGorder said there were a lot of things they did well. He said for the majority of the day the one defense played well. Expand Reply Retweet Favorite 7:08 p.m. Ryan Wood @AUBlog VanGorder said the first team was good for the most part. As for linebackers, he said there is "a lot of learning" needed. Jason Caldwell @ITATJason VanGorder said there needs to be a lot of learning from the linebackers. The secondary was inconsistent and some "shoddy" tackling Ryan Wood @AUBlog In defensive backfield, there was "shoddy tackling" that led to big plays. Joel A. Erickson @wareagleextra VanGorder on secondary: "Inconsistent. Couple of major busts in coverage, couple of missed tackles." #Auburn Joel A. Erickson @wareagleextra VanGorder: "Our interest right now is in misfit and coverage breakdowns." #Auburn 7:12 p.m. Jason Caldwell @ITATJason VanGorder said it was a normal first scrimmage. He said overall it was a sloppy scrimmage. The interest right now is getting issues solved Jason Caldwell @ITATJason VanGorder said the rushing stats are distorted because of an explosive run (Onterio McCalebb). He said they have to get more consistent Joel A. Erickson @wareagleextra VanGorder says there were a couple of explosive runs, says because of those "You have to give them a bad grade today." Ryan Wood @AUBlog Asked if any players stood out specifically, VanGorder said it's hard to say until he watches the film. Ryan Wood @AUBlog To wrap up VanGorder's short time with the media, his message was consistent: For #Auburn's defense, there was a lot of inconsistency. http://auburn.247sports.com/Board/42/VanGorder-called-1st-Auburn-scrimmage-sloppy-11322324 FREE Justin Hokanson @JHokanson Brian VanGorder's theme of scrimmage on D: "inconsistent". Said run D wasn't bad, but some explosive plays skewed the numbers. 7:15 p.m. Joel A. Erickson @wareagleextra Scot Loeffler: "We need to continue with our physical mentality and be able to run effectively." #Auburn Ryan Wood @AUBlog #Auburn O Scot Loeffler on first scrimmage: "There were some good things that we did execution-wise, and some things we need to work on." Joel A. Erickson @wareagleextra Loeffler also harping on consistency. So that makes two coordinators with the same message. Ryan Wood @AUBlog Loeffler on offensive line: "They're doing a good job. They're young. They're learning. ... They need to continue to progress." Joel A. Erickson @wareagleextra Loeffler on QBs: "A lot of things that young guys do. There were some mistakes we made." Ryan Wood @AUBlog From the QBs, Loeffler said he saw "a lot of things that young guys do." 7:16 p.m. Ryan Wood @AUBlog Loeffler said there were some "bright spots" from receivers, but they were inconsistent. Joel A. Erickson @wareagleextra Loeffler on Wallace: "I thought he managed the huddle. But similar to the other freshmen, he has to be more consistent." Ryan Wood @AUBlog Loeffler said Wallace "managed the huddle well" in first college scrimmage. But, similar to other freshmen, he's still learning. Joel A. Erickson @wareagleextra Loeffler on Frazier: "Inconsistent across the board." #Auburn 7:20 p.m. Ryan Wood @AUBlog Loeffler said Kiehl Frazier was inconsistent. So, there's a trend here. After BVG said D was inconsistent, Loeffler said O was too. Joel A. Erickson @wareagleextra Gene Chizik: "I thought the effort was good today. ... I feel like there's some baby steps made tonight. Overall, it's about what we thought Ryan Wood @AUBlog Gene Chizik said players had good effort today: "There were some baby steps made tonight." Overall, big picture was what they expected. Joel A. Erickson @wareagleextra Chizik: "The effort is where we need to be. The execution is not." http://auburn.247sports.com/Board/42/OC-Scot-Loeffler-describes-offense-as-inconsistent-11322556 Ryan Wood @AUBlog Chizik: "Overall, the message will be inconsistency. And that's everywhere." So, what we've established: #Auburn was not consistent Ryan Wood @AUBlog Chizik said tonight was "big moment" for freshmen playing in Jordan-Hare for first time: It was very apparent it was a big moment, he said. Joel A. Erickson @wareagleextra Chizik: "I thought the special teams were not bad. We've got so many guys who've played in our special teams for a while." Ryan Wood @AUBlog Chizik said the special teams were "not bad." 7:23 p.m. Joel A. Erickson @wareagleextra Chizik on QB's: "Very inconsistent. We're expecting it to be much cleaner on Saturday." Ryan Wood @AUBlog Chizik: "I think the biggest word for every quarterback was 'very inconsistent.'" That's two words, but one message. Joel A. Erickson @wareagleextra Chizik: "With the quarterback, you're looking for a guy who takes command of the huddle, never gets rattled." #Auburn Ryan Wood @AUBlog Chizik calls the QB battle "a great competition" right now. Joel A. Erickson @wareagleextra Chizik on RBs: "Onterio, I think we all know how productive he is when he touches the ball. The young guys, we're still evaluating." Jason Caldwell @ITATJason Gene Chizik said the scrimmage was about what they expected. Ryan Wood @AUBlog Chizik said coaching staff has "meshed well together," and it's made everything a smooth transition. Joel A. Erickson @wareagleextra Chizik said #Auburn ran "65-ish" scrimmage plays. Ryan Wood @AUBlog Chizik said the team went about 65 scrimmage plays today, live and full tackle. 7:25 p.m. Bryan Matthews @BMatt247 HC Gene Chizik praised RB Onterio McCalebb in scrimmage (Free/Mobile) http://auburn.247sports.com/Board/42/HC-Gene-Chizik-praised-RB-Onterio-McCalebb-in-scrimmage-11322704 via http://auburn.247sports.com/Board/42/HC-Gene-Chizik-praised-RB-Onterio-McCalebb-in-scrimmage-11322704 7:30 p.m. SOME REALLY GOOD SCOOP.... Plucked by Ellitor for us * The defense got three-and-outs on the first two 1 vs. 1 possessions. * Onterio McCalebb ran 65 yards for a touchdown on a speed sweep on the third 1 vs. 1 possession. * Kiehl Frazier had a solid day but missed some open receivers. Looked frustrated with himself at times. * Freshman quarterback Jonathan Wallace hit Jaylon Denson for 35 yards to set up a field goal. * Wallace got lots of reps. * Clint Moseley got reps but threw just once, on a screen pass, in the first half. * Middle linebacker Jake Holland had a very good day. He had two tackles and broke up a pass on the second series. * Running back Mike Blakely looked strong running the ball. * In 1's vs. 1's, the defense forced a punt to start second half * Linebacker Kris Frost had a huge hit on running back Jovon Robinson. * Frazier hit wide receiver Sammie Coates for 30 yards on a terrific route and terrific throw early in the second half. * Wallace hit Denson again in the second half for some 30 yards 7:33 p.m. Justin Hokanson @JHokanson Breaking down what I learned from OC Scot Loeffler: Good things, bad things, young guys made young mistakes. Justin Hokanson @JHokanson The starting OL in today's scrimmage, per players, was LT Greg Robinson, LG Jordan Diamond, C Reese Dismukes, RG Alex Kozan, RT Chad Slade. Joel A. Erickson @wareagleextra Clint Moseley had a bit of a limp as he left the room... #Auburn 7:35 p.m. Joel A. Erickson @wareagleextra Jovon Robinson runs with "some power" according to Greg Robinson Joel A. Erickson @wareagleextra Robinson also said Onterio McCalebb, Sammie Coates, Jovon Robinson and Mike Blakely made plays today. #Auburn 7:38 p.m. Ryan Wood @AUBlog Sounds like the D-line did a good with pass rush. Gabe Wright said coaches blew whistles for sacks, and there were 8 or 9 "whistle sacks." Ryan Wood @AUBlog Wright said Sammie Coates stood out on the other side of the ball, but he also dropped a couple passes. Joel A. Erickson @wareagleextra Kiehl Frazier was not available for interviews following Wednesday night's scrimmage. Ryan Wood @AUBlog Jake Holland said he had his best night of the fall. He also said LBs hadn't been good until tonight, so it may be a springboard for them. Justin Hokanson @JHokanson Regarding that OL first five, that was two true freshman, a redshirt freshman, and two sophomores. #youngasallgetout 7:41 p.m. Ryan Wood @AUBlog Greg Robinson ran with 1st team at LT. He said Alex Kozan (LG), Reese Dismukes ©, Jordan Diamond (RG) and Chad Slade was with his group. Ryan Wood @AUBlog Oh, no... NEVER... RT @cgull34 @AUBlog does Chiz get BVG and Loeffler together after each practice and tell them what to say to the media?

kwren34 18 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 This may have been answered, or it may be viewed as a dumb question. but I was thinking about the media being at a small portion of practice. Are the coaches only doing certian drills that they want to show to the media to sort of put on a front to the media to keep our cards closer to the chest or are they even worried about it? Is there any way of knowing if they are? afterall i am just a lowly tiger cub... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jrljr Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 This may have been answered, or it may be viewed as a dumb question. but I was thinking about the media being at a small portion of practice.

Is there any way of knowing if they are? afterall i am just a lowly tiger cub... The practices are closed for several reasons. You are correct in that they don't want info getting out before they are ready. Having media present means cameras, which means there is the potential for opposing teams to be tipped off to the gameplan. Mostly it allows the coaches to control the release of info regarding gameplans, injuries and keeps everyone from seeing what tricks they may have up their sleeve.

vtjp 0 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Ok I will bite, sounds like defense doing good. I don't really think so, I mean its practice but VanGorder says there were a couple of explosive runs, says because of those "You have to give them a bad grade today."

Frazier missing a couple of throws can be corrected. Looking frustrated with himself is normal too. I would be more worried if Frazier was not upset with himself for missing said passes. That, if anything, shows that he knows he can do better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
