ClaytonAU 4,606 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I sometimes think Gus tells the players he picks exactly what to say before to up. I don't know why, just feels that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsboroAuburnFan 462 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 If JF3 is faster than Nick, were gonna be fun to watch... We did win games without having to throw the ball, if y'all remember... Let's hope we can get back to that. Only throw 10 times to keep em honest.

Let's hope we can get back to that. Only throw 10 times to keep em honest. Defenses will have time to catch up to the non-balanced, run up to the line and hand it off play calling though. Needs to be more balanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgufcm 4,107 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Whether Franklin is capable of managing the run game the way Marshall did (personally, I doubt it because Nick had incredible ball handling and a connection with Mason), I don't think we could replicate the 2013 offense. We don't have the same talent across the OL. To take the immortal words of Rick Pitino, Greg Robinson ain't walkin' through that door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUwent 3,773 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 ^Then what the heck has our OL recruiting been for? If we're going to be starting all upperclassmen, this OL had darn well better be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,734 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 ^Then what the heck has our OL recruiting been for? If we're going to be starting all upperclassmen, this OL had darn well better be good. They'll be good, but there aren't any Once In A Lifetime talents there. Very few other teams have that either. Our opposition is too good for us to be able to win without a balanced attack. If JF3 can learn the offense and improve his passing up to SEC standards, he'll be a big help at QB. If not, he'll be getting a few wildcat snaps in each game.

JFDTiger80 790 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Wouldn't you like 22 players with Carl Lawson's mind playing the game. He is a bright kid. Wonder if he will ever coach one day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJTIGER93 0 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 We don't need the O-Line to be All World. We just need solid play and to stay injury free and I believe we will be just fine in our run game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have the same talent across the OL. To take the immortal words of Rick Pitino, Greg Robinson ain't walkin' through that door. Well,if I remember correctly we ran the ball to both sides of the line equally, and while the blocking was great, part of that success can be attributed to both Mason/Marshall. All was needed was for defenses to hesitate to see who was getting the ball, and OL would then be all over their man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have the same talent across the OL. To take the immortal words of Rick Pitino, Greg Robinson ain't walkin' through that door. yepThe combination of Marshall, mason, Prosch (last 2/3 of the season), the OL and the WR blocking was absolutely dominant. First sec team to EVER lead the country in rushing, correct? To compare Franklin to Marshall with the implication we will have 2013 rushing again is an unfair expectation on Franklin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
