[ausburn 159]

For those giving rir a hard time ... At least we got a picture of fruit on the first page ...

I think he was trying to draw bird out into the open.

Haha I was definitely going to give him a hard time about the fruit , but didn't want to pile on. If fruit doesn't get you all riled up for some football I just don't know what will...

It says a lot to me about the kind of person Jay Prosch is (like we didn't already know) and the kind of leadership that he is providing this team with that A) he is chosen to break the team down before practice, and that he breaks down on "Together". It says a lot about the mentality of the team, "We before Me" kind of thing. That is very important in my opinion, and is one thing that I think that Gus does extremely well, teaching his guys to play as a team, celebrate as a team, etc.

War Eagle guys, keep putting in that hard work and it'll pay dividends for ya. Can't wait until 8/31!!!!

[Maverick.AU 13,281]

Every time Gus says " We were physical and we were flying around" I get chills. Gus tells it like it is and doesn't hide behind coach speak so when he says something good I can't help but be excited

FYI

Monday's practice will be similar to today's -- i.e., shells, lot of reps, physical -- First day of pads Tuesday will be telling.

Guys getting up in those face masks but like the physical play.

[Newbomb 193]

Weird their names aren't on their helmets like yesterday.

[RunInRed 16,487]

C.J. Uzomah is a man for all positions, the guy who replaced Philip Lutzenkirchen at tight end at midseason last year, could spell Jay Prosch at H-back this year and is athletic enough to see time at wide or slot receiver.

...

"I think they're utilizing everybody in position to help the team, so I'm really excited about it," he said.

"It can be overwhelming at times, but we walk through everything."

...

"We have him standing up, we have him with his hand down, he's very flexible, he gives us a lot of flexibility in our offense," said coach Gus Malzahn. "He's also very experienced playing H-back, so we're just trying to evaluate all of our guys, and we're trying to mix and match, and once we figure out our plan moving forward, like I said, hopefully, that'll let us know."

Uzomah is ready for the rotation.

"There's a lot of moving around and we have to know big picture play, so I think that's going to help us in the long run," Uzomah said. "Again, I'm just trying to do my best for whatever they ask me for the team."

Love seeing the boys getting after it. WDE

[The Plainsman 948]

Looks like Adams had Slade on heels.

[AUFightingSoldiers 685]

Fisher is taking one nasty stiff arm!

[Dom1ni0n 51]

Prosch looks like he's ready to devour someone....helmet, pads and all.

[WarEagle1983 2,185]

Wonder if the helmet sticker guy got fired for misspelling NM's name? :-\

[auburnjobu 0]

Cameron Artis-Payne looks the part. Powerful stride. Vicious stiff arms.

Great to see Frost out there. He has the size now to play MLB. Great to see.

[TheDob06 443]

Fisher is taking one nasty stiff arm!

Yeah, I noticed this one too. In the few photos taken of CAP, he appears to be through the line with not many people around him. Hopefully, it will look that way during the season too.

Random roster note from @AUGoldMine ...

Counting walk-ons, there are 39 true and redshirt freshmen on today's Auburn roster.

Also, on Kris Frost ...

The linebacker said Sunday he weighs 244 pounds, up from 230 of a year ago. The 238 figure is listed on the roster.

Woah !! Didn't know Frost was that big. That's good to hear. We desparately need a protypical big man MLB on Defense. Hope he fills the void.

Looks too big. I hope it was just a bad camera angle but looked like some gut showing.

[AU Ivory_dealer 2]

Mehh probably not the first MLB to have a little gut. Long as he takes that weight and puts it behind his pads. He'll be good. I wouldn't think he would be to slow (see the pace from day 1 of a new day) and coach Russell didn't stick his head in the ground on Frost. He will be great if he can be coached.

Uncle Ellis has got this!

And I want soma dat fruit derrr

[Fresh prince of Auburn-13 0]

Feel pretty safe assuming CAP wasn't going down on that run!!!! I love watching mason Run the football, but not many people have given much thought that this guy could be our Ace before its all over. Not a bad problem to have in my book.

[RunInRed 16,487]

Day three of practice finally grasping the concept of the defense. Things are looking up

...

These coaches love what they do

I almost posted on this pic since no one seemed to pick up on it... but I agree, hilarious. Jake is obviously not impressed with that block!

I think he'd spit the helmet out, jmho.
