2014 Spring Practice - Day 1

[gulftiger66 166]

Pollack shrinks every year.

His motor is still running. I wish mine was.

It does not feel right without a quarterback controversy though.

I think the answer is no, but has there been any word on Owens?

He was apparently at practice this morning, per his twitter feed:

How much would it shock the world, and scare the rest of the SEC, if Jeremy were to actually be named the starter?

Jonathan Mincy, Josh Holsey, Jermaine Whitehead and Jay Jones started out first team secondary.

...

First team OL looked like LT Pat Miller, Alex Kozan, Dismukes, Slade and Avery Young.

...

Freshman WR Stanton Truitt worked with kick return along with Corey Grant, Rudy Ford and Quan Bray.

...

Kris Frost and Cassanova McKinzy were the linebackers with Robenson Therezie at star. Mackenro Alexander was second-team star.

Where is Justin Garret?

Recovering from ACL surgery.

Ah, I thought he was ready to go for Spring training. Never mind then...

Garrett had a foot injury last year, ready to go now.

i have a gut feeling we'll see a lot of this again

[JFDTiger80 790]

David Pollack talks with Rhett Lashlee and Nick Marshall about the QB's transformation last year.

@GregO_ESPN

For some reason Pollack hates AU. It is obvious when he talks about us. He cannot stand us. Therefore, I do not like him at all.

I saw #10 on the field in the practice video. He was there.

[metafour 4,969]

That was Stanton Truitt.

Owens did not practice. He injured himself during winter workouts.

[mcgufcm 4,107]

I read somewhere that Garrett took the majority of his reps at WLB. He never had ACL issues.

meta, any information on the severity of Owens' injury? It shows the depth (or lack thereof) for the DE spot that, at least according to one source, our first team DEs were Lawson and Daniel (who played almost exclusively at DT the second half of last year) and the second team DEs were President and Nero (who has been a DT since he arrived at Auburn and neither guy has ever really played). I'm not particularly worried about Owens. If he's ready for fall practice, that's good enough for me. Just wondering what happened.

[metafour 4,969]

No idea on Owens' injury.

I think you'll see Daniel play DE this year. More pressing need for him there.

[mcgufcm 4,107]

Starting to agree, but I suppose it depends, in part, on the better fit for Devonte Lambert (inside or outside) and the progress we see from Harrell, President, and Nero (if he sticks outside). Assuming Owens will be good by fall and given Lawson's spot, DE could either be just fine with Lambert outside plus reasonable development from the three above (plus an addition of any incoming freshman) or a complete void with Lambert fitting much better inside and the other three essentially non-contributors.

If we're in the former, I'm guessing Daniel would play inside. If we're in the latter, he definitely plays outside.

Blackson also spent time with first team DL. Rotation was Blackson, Whitaker, Wright, Lawson on the first team DL some.

Good first day of practice in the books! Guys had high energy and intensity! Ready to get better day 2! #TNT14
