WarEagle2 53 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 We have a bunch of complaining football players. Who cares how sore you are I think this equates to a guy complaining about his boss/wife to his buds. Nothing wrong with that, as long as they aren't rebellious to the coaching staff I good with it.

AUFightingSoldiers 685 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 We have a bunch of complaining football players. Who cares how sore you are With me being a health promotion and exercise sciences major, I care. These aren't complaints about the workouts themselves. These arent even complaints about being forced to workout. These are observations that our athletes are making about the change they're making in their bodies.

AUinWV 0 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 "DEAD LEGS IN THE SPRING MEANS NO DEAD LEGS IN THE 4TH QUARTER!" They need to have military type training, like the ULM coach i believe? I learned quickly in basic you can push yourself to the limit, then further, then twice as much. We'd be sprinting the whole game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austudent 0 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Hearing the guys around campus they really like Coach Russell and hes doing a great job with them. Even keepin them in on nights cause they know they won't make it through workouts the next morning. Coach Yox was a great coach too, dont diss the man. The guys loved him and feared his workouts too.

I'm just saying our players will at least "look" bigger and stronger... and we won't field a defense with 170 pound safeties... basically, we wont look like a JV squad going up against a NFL team! Another thing I'm hoping for is, during warm-ups, our starting quarterback won't be rolling around in the endzone with a stupid rubber band trying to stretch, while the A. Murrays, the J.

Manzeils, and the Z. Mettenbergers of the world are working on timing routes Ya know I never saw the Auburn team that looked so under-sized..never did. Ii saw a team get whipped pretty handily but I guarantee you weight training wouldn't have changed the outcome one way or the other by any meaningful margin. Auburn was not very good last year...forget about the weights. Not many teams in the SEC win with poor play from their QB. Auburn had arguably their worst QB play in 50 years...nevermind there simply weren't any big time players anywhere on the field for Auburn last year. The team had no heart and didn't look competitive. In not sure those issues are going to be remedied with the bench press..I only wish it was that simple to fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying the players won't be flexible, I'm just saying, expect to see some vast improvements in size and speed. That's what Russell was brought here to do...

That's what Russell was brought here to do... I have no reason at all to doubt Russell. There should be a very noticeable difference in strength because of the "boys to men" factor. Great for Russell and great for Auburn. This is the area that I hope Russell improves on the most and I feel that he will. S&C coaches have very little impact on improving a players speed. Yes, they need to continue to make gains in speed but don't expect players to start shaving seconds off their times just because of a S&C coach. Our offense will appear faster just because of Malzahn. Team speed on defense will rest on the defensive coaches shoulders. We have to get the new system in place, the players have to accept it with open arms and learn it during the off season, and finally it has to become instinct. We have some very good football players on our roster. Can't wait to see them get back to playing football at full speed and loving it. SIZE??? I am curious to see how Gus' overall scheme will impact this area. Will our offensive line appear bigger? Will our defensive players appear bigger? In 2009 and 2010 Yox and staff spent alot of effort on overall endurance. In 2010 it was very noticeable. We were in better "shape" than most of the SEC and was tit for tat with Oregon. (oregon being known for their conditioning) Just by using the eyeball test on our young offensive lineman I can't say that we are big and fat. Most if not all of our O-line carry their weight very well. Even with this being said I can see our offensive line average weight maintaining or possibly dropping a tiny bit. Anyone care to discuss their thoughts on "size" under Gus' system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
