bg5 536 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 So looking at our depth chart we have a few Seniors and a few early entries. Who do you think will replace them and how do you think that replacement will do? WR- Tony Stephens LG- Alex Kozan TR- Robert Leff DT- Mont Adams Buck- Carl Lawson CB- Josh Hulsey NB- Johnathan Ford P- Kevin Phillips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LG- Horton RT - Prince W or Prince S DT- Cowart, Brown, A Williams Buck- Davidson, Coe, Holland CB- J Davis really improved over the course of the season. We also get J Dean back (who was penciled in as starter in 2016) oh, and D Thomas! NB- ???

Tiger 8,829 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Apparently Jarrett Stidham can punt so lets just run a fake fake-punt every 4th down that we need to punt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timeslider 6 269 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Didn't realize Davidson played the Buck position, thought he played the other side. Are those positions interchangeable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I close? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I'll say about Marlon though, I could care less where he lines up, but I'd take 21 other guys with his motor. His motor is really what impressed me the most, along with his athleticism for his size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who do you think will replace them and how do you think that replacement will do? The only place I expect a drop-off is on the O-Line, and hopefully it won't be for long. I expect the wide receivers to improve. Everything else I think stays pretty even. We have plenty of guys with talent and experience to fill the holes.

AuburnNTexas 7,156 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I think O-Line especially at beginning of season will be biggest drop off. At beginning of year an awful lot of people were bad mouthing Leff, he proved it on the field. I think James will move to RT. Giving us three starters on the right side counting Center Golson, RG Braden Smith, RT James. We will run a lot to the right, LG will be Horton has some experience. LT one of the Prices a lot of talent not much experience it will be interesting. I also could see Kim at LG with Horton at LT if The Prince's don't work out. Despite how good Lawson and Adams were the replacements are very good and have experience drop off in D-Line yes big drop off no. LB will be better then last year more experience same starters and fresh talented bodies coming in as backups. DB will be the same overall drop off losing Ford and Holsey but some experience coming back with Carlton Davis becoming a lock down corner and getting Dean back. Also getting some depth from incoming players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aublaise 199 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Punter - Carlson the senior to reprise his dual kicking & punting role from his freshman year to demonstrate that ability prior to the NFL draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aucanucktiger 1,794 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Concerned most about those talented but inexperienced o-linemen jelling by week 2 at Clemson. Brown & Davidson step in nicely. Secondary coordination is so about leadership that we'll miss Rudy back there for a few games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I'm not the only one who hates the mic man!! LOL We're going to miss most of these guys. Lawson and Adams, while we have quality depth there, will be missed. Not sure we get the same production out of any other 4 right away but luckily our schedule allows for some early growing pains. Losing Kozan and Leff sucks. The O-line, as we saw this season, really needs the chemistry as a unit for each to be effective individually. Hand needs to do a better job next season getting those guys ready to go week 1. We allowed way too many TFL the first 3 weeks. I'm probably going to miss Rudy Ford the most. As far as what you want and expect out of a player through their entire career at Auburn, Rudy was all that and more. He may not have led the team in tackles this season (THANK GOD!) but his contributions were seen consistently in every game. If Daniel Thomas' first game was any indication, he could very well be the next great NB for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
