Budapesttiger 2 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 That's great info. Thanks for sharing. Pretty funny the last thing he said - I'm there's not a game right now. I think the D is going to be a lot different and better. Not just the addition of a great coordinator but some of these guys growing up and adjusting to the game - Whitaker, Ford, Lemonier will all make the D 10 points a game better if they improve from last year.

auriptide 0 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I'm really feeling good about our D for the first time a while. Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/122102-vavgorder-discusses-auburns-defense/#findComment-1580372 Share on other sites More sharing options...
keesler 6,026 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I'll feel good about the D when I see them on the field. I'm glad to hear positive feedback from the coaching staff on the player development. The proof is in the pudding.

JMDurron 0 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Looks like a frank, honest assessment from the new DC. It seems that the defense may be rough again this season, but almost certainly still significantly better than last year's group. Improved defensive line play can do a lot to mitigate issues at the LB and DB level, we know that from the 2010 National Championship campaign.

1auburn1 1,148 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Amen, bro! A strong D-line covers a lot of sins. Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/122102-vavgorder-discusses-auburns-defense/#findComment-1580407 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jrljr Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I love CBVG! No nonsense. It is what it is. He believes his D should win games on their own As great as it is watching a Cam Newton or Bo Jackson, for my money I love to watch my D line up and crush an offense. it gets my blood pumping like no other part of the game. (Especially when the team being embarassed is uat or UGly!!!)

Improved defensive line play can do a lot to mitigate issues at the LB and DB level, we know that from the 2010 National Championship campaign. I'm not sure it could be any worse than last year anyway.... One of the softest Auburn D's I've ever seen in a long time... I would hope and expect that we'd be a lot better, but we have a long way to go to be where I expect Auburn's D to be. I think getting away from the quick pace offense will help our D a lot too.

CMPluvAU04 0 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I def think the D will be ten times better, there are more bodies along the d line & if they can just grow into their own we should be fine there. I do believe our linebacker core is questionable,not so much the starters but the depth behind them. But heres to hoping they prove me wrong!!!! :wareagle: Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/122102-vavgorder-discusses-auburns-defense/#findComment-1580488 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarEagleNic 0 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I can't wait to see the D on the field and what BVG has done with them. I'm enjoying the build up to this new defense b/c with the rest of my family being UGA fans they've seen what BVG can do with D at the college level especially. The most common phrase I heard from family/friends when BVG was hired..."crap" lol Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/122102-vavgorder-discusses-auburns-defense/#findComment-1580489 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CR 2,528 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Dee Ford weighed 290 lbs when he came into AU? Wow, I had forgotten that information. Hope Coach Chizik doesn't "encourage" Van Gorder to cut down on his interview responses. I can hear more info from one Van Gorder interview than a season worth of Chizik responses.

I know he was listed as an OLB coming out of HS in '09, but I believe it was obvious even then that he had the frame to put on the weight necessary for a DE. I'm not sure what his current 40 times are but he was a 4.5 guy coming in. I believe he has a future career in this game and CBVG is just the man to help him showcase his skills. WAR DEE EAGLE!

DyeEraTiger 0 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Dee beat a 2team between them on an edge rush in ADay--POWER bull rush type play. He showed up on A day to play. Look for him to do big things this season if he stays healthy. I think this interview was in another thread and it just reminds me of how much I like CBVG so far. He seems so straight up. The only thing about hiring coordinators like him is you have to constantly worry about who is going to try to lure him and when! Part of the deal though. I feel like he will at least be here long enough to get us back in upper echelon with the D.
