2017 Fall Camp - Mon, Aug 7 (Scrimmage)

[lionheartkc 6,150]

Let's face it... the guys want to sit in the recliner.  They aren't going to let Stidham or anyone else stop them.

Defense is always ahead of offense early, especially in this case as far as our team. 

I'm good with picks right now, means we're actually trying to be an offense and won't be going for 3 yard passes the entire year hoping the pettway can carry the ball 30 times a game.

Offense was very plain today. Easy for the defense to go against

Heard that, and I immediately thought someone in the football program was trying to cover something up. It seems all of the info out right now has come from 1-2 players, and it's possible those players were wrong about who threw what passes. But I'm a little skeptical. I'm also not worried about the INTs unless it's been a problem throughout the practices and/or he just is making really bad decisions. 

I have a source on the team I could ask. But I always avoid asking that kind of stuff

This was a scrimmage that really was not about the skilled position players on offense.

If u were a true AUFam member then you would sacrifice everything for the benefit of this forum ... and by the way ... we won't tell anyone ...

Your 3rd point is exactly what I was thinking. 

Is it weird that a negative report about the offense kind of makes me feel better? I hope it slows down the hype train and keeps them grounded.

I was thinking something similar...if it is true, get it out now before September. From what I have heard about JS, that will only make him work harder to perfect  his game. Along the same lines, it should pushy SW to do the same.

Are the quarterbacks live or no contact? I ask because I thought they were no contact. If so then I don't necessarily agree with 3 sacks. How do you credit a sack when the whistle blows early to protect the QB?

This. Also defense is always ahead early. KP and KJ were not on the field I can't say this enough either.

 Williams described how he had a play that should've been counted as a sack today but they didn't blow the whistle on it. It would've been a sack in a real game but the coaches will sometimes let the QB play through to see what he can do. It's basically like A-Day in that if the defense gets really close to the QB in the back field it counts as a sack; just no contact. They certainly have to get in the backfield to count it as a sack.

Give us the low down 

[auburnphan 6,050]

Remember Gus said this was gonna be a "big" scrimmage.   Code for it was gonna be about the guys in the trenches.

Lol, ok.... So what was the point in posting this? 

[api1957 1,783]

I guess we tried the Clemson game plan to get it out of our system.

I wasn't able to make it today. I will be at the next ones. From what I have heard so far defense looks very good even without Marlon there today. Dean and Stephen Roberts had picks. Also our offense we really can't make any judgement without today he best rb in the SEC being on the field. KJ was alsi held out. DB looks solid from what i have heard. Defense is always ahead early in fall camp I will say again.  I will know alot more when I speak with a family member later who was there.

[austudnt23 1,432]

I will be at the scrimmage Saturday so I will tell yall what I see. I have been told we were very basic offensively today. The defense usually knows what play we are running they face up in practice. We will throw a little more offense into the scrmage saturday. We were getting the 3rd team aka Miller and 4th team whethet it be Martin or DB reps alot of reps at rb today.

Also was told our defense in gonna be a beast.

DB= Barrett, not defensive back, right?

yep

What is his 4o time? (Devon Barrett)He has a chance to be a nice option at the RB position with him. I hope we can get Chandler Cox some reps to keep him happy and a part of the offense.

Have you seen the INTs Stidham has thrown? Are they a product of poor throws/bad decisions by Stidham or a product of unfortunate circumstances (tipped pass, great DB play, jump ball, etc.)? I'm not too worried either way, but if it starts coming out that he's throwing JJ-like INTs where he's staring down WRs (like @aucanucktiger mentioned in another thread), I might start worrying a little more.

I didn't but luckily I have a few clients that did.  I'm not supposed to give much out, and I would rather people on here that were there give the detailed information.  Don't think Jeremy Johnson though, I will say that.  Just think it's early in the practices and offensive linemen are playing in places they aren't used to against defensive linemen that are where they are used to.   Austudnt23 is definately the one to listen to, and PTB.

I like everyone's comments on this thread though.  Very level headed and the statements make complete sense.  Very different from this time last year, and its a good feeling.  This forum last year drained some of my energy needed for gameday! I only have so much sunshine to give!

[boomstick 1,315]

Did anyone here actually see Stidham throw an INT today? I'm not questioning anyone. Just curious to know if anyone saw it.

Good to know. So long as he's not making horrible decisions I can live with and understand the occasional INT. They're going to happen.
