DT/DE Elijah Daniel in shorts today and off to the side. Robenson Therezie has cast on left hand protecting pinky and ring finger.

...

Best part of practice? Fresh beat dropping on speakers as media walked out. Gus Malzahn's voice then dropped in to say "blue alert." #remix

...

Music expert here. RT @wareagleextra: ... the song in question was the instrumental of "Go Get It." I approve. #tip #grandhustle

@bmarcello

Robenson Therezie has a cast on his left hand, but it didn't appear to be limiting him at all.

...

Therezie was taking punts.

...

Gray King got some work -- along with a whole bunch of other people -- at punt returner

...

Decent. Healthy. Still work to do. RT @thejuiceisgood: @JHokanson how does Whitaker look moving around? Healthy?

@JHokanson

Shon Coleman was taking reps at LT with the first-team

...

DL is indeed working with Montravius and Gabe Wright at LDE. That's a big DL.

...

...

Corey Grant was taking 1st RB reps. CAP 2nd, Peyton Barber 3rd.

Post-practice interviews ...

Robenson Therezie wants to improve his pass rush ability, playing more man: "Last season I didn't think I was too clean on man coverage."

@AUBlog

Therezie said he jammed his left hand, but that it was just "part of playing Auburn football. You get right back out there."

...

Therezie said he never considered leaving early for the NFL. He admitted this season is important to "improving my stock" for the draft.

...

Therezie said he still thinks about the loss in the BCS championship game loss every night. "I think about how we should be ordering rings."

...

Therezie says Mackenro Alexander has is "starting to understand the concepts and recognize formations" better.

@wareagleextra

Therezie says he's glad Justin Garrett's back in the mix, because of his ability against the run.

@JoelAEricksonAU

Robenson Therezie says he could play some corner later on.

"There's a question as to if I can run through the tackles... I want to let everyone know I can do that" - RB Corey Grant on spring goals.

@TheAUPlainsman

...

Grant on Peyton Barber: "He's picking up on things a lot quicker than we thought he should."

RB Cameron Artis-Payne says in his 1st season he gained experience, especially playing in front of so many people. #Auburn #WDE

@JamesCrepea

Auburn RB Cameron Artis-Payne on vying to replace 1,800-yard rusher Tre Mason: "Definitely, I feel like I can do something similar."

@AUGoldMine

Malzahn: "I felt like overall we had a solid practice."

...

Malzahn said the injury to Robenson Therezie's hand is "nothing serious."

@wareagleextra

Auburn's Gus Malzahn says tempo has picked up in Year Two: "So far, we've been faster. We should."

@AUGoldMine

Gus Malzahn: We did a lot of 11-on-11 on each other, rotated three groups, trying to give everyone an opportunity to show what they can do.

...

Malzahn: "The thing about spring is, everyone gets a chance."

...

Malzahn on decision to move DT Adams and Wright to DE: "Coach Garner is trying some different things out, mixing and matching."

...

Malzahn: "When we have our scrimmages, that's when RBs really have a chance to show what they can do." First scrimmage is Sat.

...

Malzahn on DL Elijah Daniel: "We held him out today, but he'll be back."

...

Malzahn on QB Jeremy Johnson: "I think Jeremy is similar to Nick, getting better at the ins and out, getting better with the read-zone.

...

Malzahn on special teams/kickers: "We're trying to put them in as many game-like situations as we can in the spring."

...

Malzahn confirms Justin Delaine is "no longer with our team." Decision was made "probably before" February.

@JoelAEricksonAU

Quan Bray said the offense "picking up where we left off a couple of months ago."

I am glad he is our coach but don't understand why his NFL career didn't last longer. Besides being just under6' I didn't see any weakness.
