Coates a game time decision

[RunInRed 12,154]

Sammie Coates is a game time decision. His knee injury has flared back up and he hasn't practiced in Auburn or in Tampa.

What is up with Sammie? Is he injured? I thought he had been practicing all week.

Auburn's Sammie Coates a game time decision against Wisconsin http://auburn.247sports.com/Board/42/Contents/Note-on-Sammie-Coates-status-34303263 … @Auburn247

That is what I was wondering

[AuburnSpider 2]

We may be in trouble if neither of our star receivers play.

[AUwent 3,079]

^This is no excuse if we lose, though. We have Bray, Davis, Louis, Walker, and Stevens. Not saying that they're all great receivers, but we have plenty of receivers.

I do believe there is a contingency that disagrees with your assessment. Think about it, bama without Cooper = 3 losses minimum.

Auburn without Duke and Sammie = ?

I look forward to what next year might look like.

Had this been reported before?

[autigeremt 5,665]

We are still the better team and should win with the players we have. Ricardo, Quan, Melvin, etc. will be able to pick up the slack if he can't go.

Miss. State thought they were the better team also.

Different team with different match ups. I guess we should just cut our loses and come on home?

Probably not. Wisky already knew they didn't have to prepare for Duke. You don't want them game planning for no Sammie either.

No. What I am saying is that the best team doesn't always win. You still have to be prepared and you still have to execute.

[AUFAN78 3,495]

I hope you are right as far as the better team winning is concerned.

Tech BEAT State because they ARE the better team. JMHO

I really hope we can send Sammie off with a huge bowl game.

This....is why you recruit more than 2 star receivers. Our backups are still likely more talented than Wisconsin's starting CBs

[milehighfan 1,147]

All the prognosticators has picked the Tigers. Of course this was obviously before they knew about Coates. .

[aujeff11 6,243]

They waited until the last minute of the previous year to report it. Fitting way to end it.

[FHeal 3]

[rumor_control_rule] if true. . . [/end_rumor_control_rule]

this is why backups need meaningful, realistic, actual game day experience.... just glad it wasn't someone (more) mission critical

[Randman5000 3,686]

I'm hoping he plays. Send him out with a two hundred yard day. Traveling, will miss the game. War eagle

[FHeal 3]

nah.... too big a risk... way too big

He has a future ahead of him and with a hurt knee, why risk one cheap shot or simp1y unavoidable slide costing 000,000's worth of value. Going pro is his diploma, his major, and his retirement plan all rolled into one. He's just getting it done in three. WdE don't absolutely need him,

We really do need a deep threat so we can keep the DBs from creeping up to the line of scrimmage. It's time for Stevens to step up.

Wake up Weegs, it's football day!

... so maybe time to use someone who's developed different targets... and let him toss it their way a couple times ?

(no- I don't know who NM has a feel for)

[trout54 55]

Ray will take the Duke role, and Bray will take the Sammie role. they are more than capable.
