The OL is huge!!  I think that this is the largest OL that I can remember for a very long time. Does anyone know of an OL bigger than this group?

Our DL is huge as well. I think we are now beginning to see the type of athlete this coaching staff wants to put on the field as well as the classroom each year. You have to be proud of this staff and the players that are representing Auburn.  It is a win-win situation for the Auburn family!

WDE!!

Shouldn't T-Bell be starting at one of the corner spots?  Have we seen reported anywhere whether Mincy or White will be the third CB in with Bell slides over into the Nickel position?

So much potential on this roster!

My only other question/concern is with how Eltoro will be used.  I'd sure love to see him have a big senior season, and he's supposed to know all three LB positions now.

Why was LaDarious Owens moved from linebacker to defensive end? Did he get too big?

He asked to be moved to DE where he played in high school.

I am interested to see how it works for Eltoro to be used and this chart will be change a little next week as I get it done with.

Great work! Should be pretty close to that chart

Thanks. I will update this chart as I can get it together with 2 weeks left!  :we:

This ^

I thought I had read that Jay Wisner was back with the team?

No.  You can do a search to get the story.

He is not on the team. I wish he is.

that's on another thread and identified a couple of players that I really want to see step up and have huge seasons:

Barrett Trotter (duh!!!)

Deangle Benton

Eltoro Freeman

Trovon Reed

I think I tend to look for guys that have been in the program for a while and either have not had the chance to step up or have not achieved their potential.  I have been hearing so much about Reed that anything less than him flying over the tops of players to the endzone will be a let down.
