Probably a little bit of both. How do I say this diplomatically...Grimes values toughness and likes grinders/meanness. Just my prediction from the "whispers."

Kim is more consistent. Horton is more experienced at guard then Ashley and Driscoll has more game experience then Troxall. When will it be "officially" announced I don't know but I expect in the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Win4AU 4,052 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I like the future of that right side if Ashley sticks at right guard and Troxell at RT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gowebb11 9,313 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 The more I read on the situation, I believe the coaches are fine with KK at center. But with Brahms being unable to go, have to get Horton ready as a backup. If that happens, CA becomes the right guard. The question I have is if BS is the true backup at left tackle, or does musical chairs happen if Tega gets injured? Hopefully, we will have a season of good health.

DAG 33,964 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Honestly, this is one of the more talented teams we have ever had at Auburn. The only problem is some key components aren't battle tested. So much potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not God's gift to football--i do other stuff--from what I've heard/seen, the Dline is incredible, we will win several games on defense alone. I'm not worried about RB but I am concerned about WR.

Not saying we don't have talent but one injury and our WR corps really changes. Completely agree. We have lots of talent, but let's face it, we are going to need some playmakers...and two of ours are out for the season. I especially hate losing Stove. We have to step up. I still love McClain, so hopefully we can get something special there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still stand by that and I don't think it's a bad idea. Our wildcat has been nothing like the old wildcat with throwing involved. It has just been an unbalanced line with a power run game with and option for a give on the speed sweep I'd be "ok" with the wildcat if it's Boobie but i'm not interested in anymore Cox experiments in the wildcat. Let Cox do what he does best and block and toss him a pass or two on the wheel route. I really hope they give the young RBs some reps b/c knowing how Gus is regarding trust issues and riding just 1 RB, i'm afraid Gus may see Cox as our 2nd RB just b/c our other RBs are young. I understand that blocking schemes can take a little time for freshman RBs to pick up but i think we have some talented guys in Asa and Boobie and they need to start getting game reps in whenever they can...not Cox. It seems like each year, true freshmen are coming into college more and more prepared to contribute day one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So happy to hear this. As many of us know, the OL is going to be a huge factor between us having the opportunity to be a playoff team or a 4 loss team. This is exactly why i was happy that Grimes was hired back. IMO he gets the most out of the talent he's been provided with. There's no messing around with him..get the starters and let's get to work. I'm confident in Grimes so the OL worries me a little less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually when I typed my question it was in reference to the OL, however for some reason I did not specify that so it became the generalized question you saw. But thank you, you still answered my question. 8 hours ago, passthebiscuits said: Completely agree.

Was that just hype, or have you seen a lot of dropped balls or blown assignments? I figured that was our strength with the caliber quarterback we have making catches easy.
