Fricking Ray

Thanks JMR for your valuable insight!! I get the feeling that as NCM gains experience this season that he will at some point replace TS as the starter. TS catches the ball with his body a lot and is inconsistent. Thoughts?

I meant overall the D played okay yesterday despite the lack of pass rush 

The defense ran out of gas in the 3rd quarter because the offense couldn't sustain drives. As Stat pointed out the tackling was not as good as in the first two games.

Offense is such a mess I don't see how they turn it around at this point.  When JF3 is in there it does open up some inside running lanes because the defense is so concerned with him getting outside on them.  But his passing accuracy is so terrible defenses are just going to load the box on him.  Our tackles are not capable of pass blocking an SEC caliber DE, especially one like Garrett.  This means Sean is not going to be effective even though he is accurate down the field because he is not going to have the time to get it down the field.  So we are dead in the water on offense again this year.  Even though the defense is better they are going to get beat up and worn down from staying on the field due to the lack of offense.  It's a mess and it's sad because there are some great looking athletes on this team and they deserve better.  

Agree with all except the last sentence. The "kids" use Auburn to get them to the NFL. Auburn uses the "kids" to get wins on the football field. It is supposed to be a symbiotic relationship. How is that working out for Auburn?

The D is fine. The pass rush is non existent though. And we have too much talent for that.

How can the defense be fine if we have no pass rush? The defensive line has performed poorly against Clemson and Texas A&M. Neither offensive line is thought to be juggernauts. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck ......... but hey it looks really good on paper. As fans we have given the defensive line a pass the last few seasons due to Lawson's injuries. Talent gets off their blocks and makes a play. 

Thanks JMR! I appreciate your insight. In my opinion Adams has never been consistent enough to be an impact player. Was Lawson getting double teamed? 

War Eagle!!

Could start a trend . . . This year's dabbing! 

Can we please ban the use of the word dab in this thread.
