Why are we arguing how great a rivals player is? id like to know how tega did? how canella did? how did our starting CB's look? who was running 1st team at canter? etc... No passes thrown to Canella acc to my folks. He made some good blocks. I'm really excited about Sal. Would be awesome to have one of those match-up problem guys. Can't remember the last one we had. Guys like that can be money on 3rd down and red zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarEagleHunter1221 1,690 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Any word on Eli Stove? I liked his play last year but this year has been hush on his name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a totally serious question. I'm friends with some former players. That's normally how I get to go. I believe yesterday Tigers Unlimited or some group was allowed to attend as well.

DAG 33,955 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I apologize to the thread. JS needs to be named the starter period. Let's move on to Auburn football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannella dropped a couple during warmups and 7 on 7 but never got anything thrown to him during the scrimmage. Sean hit him right in the hands on a throw that he dropped. But I like his look. I feel like he's going to have a big impact this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My ratings as qbs I saw yesterday Stidham 1 MW 2 SW 3. I think SW will end up being back up unless JS was to get hurt so we can redshirt MW. This is just illogical to think MW would be the starter over SW. And I am a huge MW fan. Probably playing against the 2s and 3s and never played a down of Collegiate football. It is a huge difference. It would be insane to put him in there if JS got hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, need to utilize him though. I do not want to see anymore glorified offensive linemen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you mentioned, it was Gus' fault by misjudging Johnson, it was also Gus' fault for not developing White in his True Freshmen year. QB development has been Gus' Achilles heel and if it weren't for SW's drive and determination, Gus would be looking for a job right now. Gus didn't trust SW even when he named him the starter either in 2015 or 2016. So much so that Gus came up with the game plan he did with Clemson in the first game of the 2016 season. That would work on anybody, but SW's drive and determination kept his head in the game and he didn't give up. If SW's head was not in the right place, the 2016 campaign would have been Gus' last at Auburn. SW's physical ability may not be the best, but it was good enough to bridge the gap in QB talent from 2015 to 2017 to allow Gus to work out of his own doing in QB evaluation of talent. So, yes, Gus should kiss SW's a$$ every day for the ability to be Head Coach at Auburn University. JMO, I could be wrong. Fire Gus? Jay Jacobs?

By all accounts, he's been great all fall camp, and he caught 3-4 others that were thrown his way in warmups and 7-on-7. He did show some good blocking skills on the edge.

I just really want us to maximize all of our talent this year, especially a 6'5 monster. No need to sit him on the sideline. I feel like this was part of the reason Stanton chose to leave.

corchjay 5,311 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 @boomstick @bigbird Boom did you watch the DBs much? How did Broussard get beat on the long TD? Perfect throw or get beat inside with no help in the middle? Bird - hearing anything on the backup safeties? Ruffin or Thomas... Ruffin looked horrible in space on A-Day tackling and in coverage.

Willis has looked pretty good. D doing ok. From someone who is there. I was there and might have already posted this in the thread. Stidham did ball out u are correct. White did White not good. MW looks like our #2. I believe SW will be on roster listed as #2 but if JS were to get hurt I am not sure he would be who we would start. White being a 4th year player and started many games gives him advantage but MW looks better by a good bit from what i saw yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broussard got beat inside and the throw was towards the hash. If I remember correctly, we ran something with a single high safety, and he couldn't get to the throw in time. It wasn't a great throw as Slayton had to make a pretty good adjustment to bring it in, but had it been a perfect throw, neither defender would've been in the picture. It happened to Broussard a couple other times where he got beat inside on a deep route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

passthebiscuits 6,831 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 reminded me of the pre-kick 6 99 yd td by Mc-careless of uat. Single safety has to get over there in time. Broke tendency on the goal line to teach some valuable lessons that hopefully never make it to the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love their record setting longest play from m scrimmage (which can't be broken) was against us ... cuz every single time it gets brought up, the announcer will then point out we won in the kick 6 game - Bama fans get to choke on that play in all kinds of ways!

I am a huge JS fan, but wonder if SW bad passes are from his injury or what. They always says he thrives off competition. I've been long saying I don't think SW's shoulder is 100% right. I don't have any inside information at all but i've always thought that his shoulder was more hurt than we were led to believe and it was a thing where they thought rest would fix the problem but then he breaks his forearm. I for one wouldn't be the least surprised if he requires surgery. I could be totally wrong but just the way i've felt for the longest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
