WarEagle1983 2,185 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Is it just me, or are there a couple of D-linemen who seem to have a bit of a beer belly on them? IDK what a SEC d-tackle looks like, but I assume he is a fairly fit fellah. IDK though.... That's the fittest group on d-line I've seen in five years!!! Yep! I don't want all our D-Linemen with 6 packs. Nick F sure didn't have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoALtiger 3,873 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 The only way a 300 lb O or D lineman isn't gonna have at least a little "beer belly" is if they are on steroids. C'mon man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. But you can tell they are a little more leaner and have added muscle where before it was moreso fat. A little more solid. I've seen Gabe's before and after S&C and he looks great but your right NoALtiger they'd be on roids if they had a 6 pack. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunInRed 16,528 Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 “Overall our approach to practice, attitude and effort was good today,” Gus Malzahn said. “The pace was better today, and we definitely challenged our players with that.”Practice was again split up into two parts, with the second part focusing more on the younger players. Tomorrow Auburn will put shoulder pads on for the first time this fall, and practice will go much faster with an emphasis on pace than it has the first two days. “Tomorrows practice we will put everybody together for the first time,” Malzahn said. “We will be in shells, which will be very good for us to evaluate our guys upfront.” Read more:The Auburn Plainsman - Auburn looks to speed things up after second day of football practice Gus Malzahn's opens post-practice: "Very proud of Craig Sanders and Ryan Smith.

RunInRed 16,528 Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 Shon Coleman is making some moves and Avery Young is rising through the ranks early in Auburn's fall camp.The cancer survivor and offensive tackle moved from the left side and practiced at right tackle during the Tigers' practices Friday and Saturday. He's challenging Patrick Miller and Young for playing time at the spot, which appeared to primarily feature Young and Coleman rather than the spring's starter, Miller, during the open session of practice Saturday. "Shon is a guy that played left for the most part in the spring, so we want to give him a shot at right," coach Gus Malzahn said. "We'll kind of move him back and forth. Pat's a very solid tackle in his own right."

RunInRed 16,528 Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 You can't help but be rooting for Trovon Reed (Julie Bennett/jbennett@al.com) "A lot of people think that Trovon Reed don’t exist anymore," Reed said. "I read a lot of stuff, hear a lot of stuff. That’s all motivation, you know. I still believe in myself. I know what I can do." ... "I thought it was going to be just like high school. I thought I was going to come in and just take over, you know," Reed said. "Injuries came with that. I mean, obstacles came with that." ... "They were looking for big guys at receiver – big, physical guys," Reed said. "That’s just not my role. So being in this offense with Coach (Gus) Malzahn with the speed and all that, I feel like that’s my role." ... "Trovon's one of those guys that he knows this offense. He knows all three receiver positions, and really even four, counting the slot to the boundary," Malzahn said. "Really looking forward to him contributing and making plays. ... "That’s in the past. What happened, happened. I’m just looking at everything going forward," Reed said. "It’s motivation. Growing up, I was always the smallest on the field. Everybody always said I couldn’t do this, couldn’t do that. I defeated the odds. So I feel like I can do it now." http://www.al.com/au...out_to_pro.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixie1860 27 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I had not heard that Trovon's mother had passed away right about the time he came to AU. He and Quan have bonded over their experience and I believe we will see a'lot of #1 and #4 this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToomersRevenge 284 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I played poker with Trovon's cousin a few weeks ago and told him we were hoping for big things from him this year. Very nice family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEagle24 56 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Adams doesnt look small to me. He is pretty cut up. I think the reason some people thought he was small is because he doesnt have his sleeves rolled up like the other dlinemen. It gives the impression that he's smaller than he actually is since they're so baggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
