Comparing his recruiting hype to his production (blocking and receiving) he's the most over rated recruit to actually start and play at Auburn that I can remember. But, I was at the Cotton Bowl and watched him get abused by Nebraska's defensive ends and LB's. Not a fan of his to say the least. Didn't his love affair from the Auburn base originate from blowing people up on kick offs? I could be totally mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chip added a couple wrinkles to the passing game but the base offense is Gus’s. So he’s been in Gus’s system for a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger 8,818 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Mannn Trott dropped more passes than Canella, Ricardo Louis, and Sammie Coates combined lol. I swear I remember thinking he had naked pictures of Tuberville or even Borges (oh please no) to be getting so many targets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember one big game catch he finally had over the middle and as he was racing for the touchdown...he fumbled the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and Cooper Wallace (who was a solid TE) had a weird habit of running downfield and having their own knees come to high up and knock the ball loose! I remember Cooper in one game running for a touchdown and the ball suddenly flying STRAIGHT up in the air! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still remember one catch he made his Freshman year against Florida in 2006 and he got crushed by a Florida defender and fumbled the ball. The good news however is that the fumble didn't hurt us and we ended up getting a safety out of it. Lol, look at how he was running with the ball on the replay: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexava 6,973 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 When Trott did catch the ball he was looking for a place to fall. The defense didn’t even need to cover him unless he went deep or the red zone. He tackled himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chimes 442 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I actually grew up with Trott and played with and against him in multiple sports. He was just a big guy who’s dad played at Auburn. He benefited from having a big frame and playing against woefully undersized competition. His older brother was 10x the athlete and I was always shocked that little bro got the scholarship offer instead of big brother. Jalen was a great pass catcher in high school. Fluid, well above average hands, and ran solid routes. He always looked like a receiver in a DE’s body to me. Unfortunately he blocked like a receiver in a DE’s body too. Weird how the script flipped when he got to AU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerbrotha12 2,362 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Truesdale has looked ready to play this season. I’m fine with him at a DT spot. Coe and Big Kat will be the two ends if Marlon leaves. Need to find another DT, but I do think Garner has done a really nice job with getting Tyrone Truesdale ready to play SEC football.
