Their ability (or lack there of) isn't a criticism of them personally. Just how well they perform on the football field. Just think it's over the top to call someone or their talent level garbage.

They came back and will at least do their best even if they could get hurt busting their 5th and 6th year of eligibility. they stayed to give us a chance. they are Auburn players and they represent my team. We will see if we are better moving the ball on the ground. If we don’t well know why but don’t put the albatross on our current OL as they playing to their ability. ’Garbage’ should be used on those coaches who are not getting us OL that will allow us to compete at a higher level. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether I'm talking about them personally or talent level wise or whatever. Look, u can call whoever , whatever and critize them however you want. That's on you. I'm just stating my opinion 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is he defended someone else even though there are certainly other words that would have meant the same but not as brazen as ‘garbage’. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what his intent and it was a choice of words, nothing more. No big deal. I respect the hell out of those players though and hope NIL Auburn is paying them very well for agreeing to come back & help us through this transition period. They didn't have to come back to work their asses off for Auburn, but they did and I appreciate it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMO I tend to agree with NWALA on this. A slightly different wording like their O-Line play has not been stellar up to this point instead of saying it is garbage. Then you are getting across what you mean without sounding mean. We are talking about young men who are working hard and doing the best they can who also have graduated and come back to help the team so they do deserve our respect just for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Will Friend doesn't represent Auburn in some way? He's a coach, right? Is on the field during games? That makes absolutely no sense. No...it's not their fault they aren't any good. But the fact is they aren't any good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W.E.D 11,070 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Cursory search shows me that @AuburnNTexas said our entire defense "sucks" and specifically our linebackers on a few occasions. I guess saying these kids "suck" is OK. Weird double standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said they or their talent level was garbage as well as saying we have a s*** roster. I disagree with both statements. To me, that's where it begins and ends.

Saying a position unit sucks is OK to you. But calling a position unit "garbage" is somehow totally different?? Let's just move on. We can agree to disagree over how we characterize AU players. So, after u get done looking through all my prior posts , trying to find a "gotcha" post. It's time to move on 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
