Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Former player Rob Pate nails it. Couldn't agree with him more. http://www.gamedaybunker.com/simply-no-excuse/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike4AU 1,769 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 His article is behind the pay wall. I don't know what Rob said, but it is crystal clear that giving all the blame to JJ is way off base. Yes, his play has been terrible, but guess what....there are a bunch, I mean a bunch, of players AND coaches who need to look into the mirror because their performance has also been terrible. There is something wrong with this team. I am starting to think that there is dissension on the team and folks are mailing it in. What the %^$# is wrong with this team?!!

PoetTiger 1,901 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Why do you think there is something wrong with this team? Because of two tough wins? Those kids pulled it together last week and won, it should not have been close but JSU was not a run of the mill FCS team. We thought we could roll the helmet out and win, but found out the hard way that was not gonna happen. As for Louisville - that game was well in hand, the change to that mobile QB caught AU off guard but AU did what was needed to win. What I see is a talented but young team. They are still growing together, and learning to play together specifically on the OLINE...as for JJ, this stage may prove to be too big for him, hopefully he settles down this weekend and plays like he know he can.

AUDub 12,028 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Can Auburn pull off a repeat of 1999 and beat LSU at Tiger Stadium on Saturday? We also went 5-6 in 1999 in spite of thumping LSU in Tiger Stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 First of all Rob pate sucked....second there are many things that need to be fixed 1. Rob Pate was a very good safety. 2. He agrees that there is a lot to be fixed. He does not put all the blame on JJ at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cole256 17,085 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Pate was about like etheridge, a decent safety that liked contact. NEVER wanted him covering somebody one on one. But to talk in that tone I think you at the least need to be a NFL player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger, I remember the opening game of Pate's freshman year. I was wondering who #31 was, and I found out later he was a true freshman. If a four year started can be classified as a sucky player, I'd have to question the football "enlightenment" to those who classify him as such.

McLoofus 35,182 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Proud Tiger, see where it says "VIP" under the article you're trying to get us to read? That means we can't unless we pay for 247 like you do because, as previously mentioned, it's behind a paywall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I didn't say they are the only ones that can talk but when you're absolutely blasting kids for not doing something you couldn't do when you played it makes me laugh.
