Prosch is intriguing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronMan70 3,277 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Not sure why the guys would not be there at all, but it's possible they were there and WDEWDE just didn't see them (if they weren't dressed). Ford and Harrell are both injured so not practicing is clearly not a surprise. Regardless, I'm guessing Sanders and Owens are decidedly not our first team DEs. The guess here is that, with Ford already out, we held out our top two DEs to rep the backups harder. We can't afford any more injuries at that spot to the guys we already trust. At this point, we should know what we have in those two guys. I'm not particularly surprised Owens is getting reps at DE. We need dudes that can rush the passer, and he fits the bill. That also implies that Ford could miss at least the opener. Gus said he hoped Ford wouldn't miss, but if we're moving guys to rush end, it seems like we're, at minimum, preparing for his absence. That makes sense. It will be interesting to see if the Owens move is temporary until Ford returns or permanent. If it is permanent it might indicate that EJ is becoming more comfortable with the 3 deep at LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunInRed 16,528 Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 Auburn shifted focus to Washington State today. C.J. Uzomah smiled, said it's exciting to start thinking exclusively about the opener.... C.J. Uzomah said Wallace is a "more cerebral guy" at QB, while Marshall and Johnson can improvise better when play breaks down. ... Uzomah said Jonathan Wallace knows all the protections and schemes well, while other 2 are "rusty with offense in general," but extend play. ... Uzomah said Kiehl Frazier will be "big-time threat" for D: "I think he looks really well. Just because he's a QB, so he knows schemes." ... Uzomah on Nick Marshall: "Showing how athletic he is and how fast he is, his ability to extend the play ... it's something kind of special." @AUBlog C.J. Uzomah said Kiehl Frazier "tried" to cover him once, the TE won@JamesCrepea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarEagle1983 2,185 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I just left the scrimmage... •Nick Marshall's the guy! •Ladarius Owens is back at DE. (1st team) •Keihl will see significant action at Safety. •Craig Sanders running with the 1's. •Lawson will play a lot! •Much better coaches than last year. •The D worked primarily out of the Dime (Wazzu Prep) •No Shows: D McNeal (obviously), N Eguea, D Ford, K Herrell, K Carter Nice info. Never doubted Nick as the #1 man! Turn UP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarEagle1983 2,185 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 one person there says NM played super, another says JW and JJ played better. I think a lot of this is due to who you are favoring. I prefer to wait on the coaches choice. Marshall was 1st team... Wallace was ok, but Marshall is heads and shoulders the better QB. Wallace threw a pick in 7 on's... Marshall had no picks... Johnson threw a pick, but it was a GREAT play by Frost. Either way, Marshall's the guy. Sounds like Frost may work his way back to being a starter. He'll get good playing time for sure but he may be a better game time guy than when it comes to practice.

WarEagle1983 2,185 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Interesting notes on the WRs. Altima, would you agree with the assessment that Louis was our best WR? What did you see from Marcus Davis? Was he playing over Bray or essentially backing him up? Anything from Jaylon Denson? Seems to have disappeared since spring. Recievers we're solid. Louis is a stud! Davis gets open, he's that quick! Denson made some nice catches in 7 on's. Has Davis completely healed from his injury? Seems like the freshman WRs are going to get a chance to play a lot. Just don't get why our other WRs can't step up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarEagle10 77 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Sounds like the players are split on who has looked best at QB. I do like the fact that it sounds like we have more than one option at the QB position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshallcotiger 0 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I'm surprised about Miller working with the 1's at RT. I was told last Monday that Young and Coleman were getting the vast majority of the 1st team reps there so far in camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellitor 33,114 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Notes from 23 -at QB Nick with the ones. JJ took the first snaps with the twos, but JW took most of the snaps with the twos.- At LB Cas and Jake were the main guys with the ones. -WRs struggled to get open against man D. -Louis was balling, -Garrett was out of the boot but didn't play. -King was working at star. -Gimel and Delaine worked with the twos at DE.

Avery has good enough footwork to play Guard so learning a second position. Next man up with little or no drop-off. Encouraging! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
