How does anyone know since both seems to be getting equal reps? I think he's on Rivals so he can bring over thoughts like that based on the particulars posted of the scrimmage over there.

So like that smoke pick that I shared here last night I guess? Nix threw a great pass and smoke made a great play by just snatching it from sal. Nice that he did it again.

Win4AU 4,054 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Since the Qbs weren’t live the offense wasn’t running its whole playbook either. Probably easier for the defense to key in on certain plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFE12 9,191 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Guys remember... A bunch of early round picks on the d-line plus base plays plus an experienced secondary equals what he had today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per people in the program this offense is soo much better when 3 of the 5 fastest players on the team are playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gr82b4au 5,568 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Also this Gus quote from the video Kev posted above... "There weren't enough first downs to even see it," to really discuss the quarterbacks today, Malzahn says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously - the OL is at a disadvantage with base plays and no QB running (especially by Joey). Also the DL is our team strength. Then again the OL just may not be any good. We will soon find out.

But seriously though...Im not worried about what the o-line or offense for that matter, did today..If they do that during the season on a regular basis then yeah of course there's no world class defense excuse.

AuburnTiger4Life 2,225 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Reminder that Cam Newton also struggled his first scrimmage. And that was against a much less talented defense. Dont read too much into the offense. Both are dual threat QBs and not being able to run kinda handcuffs them both. Hopefully PTB will give us the deets soon!

countoff 331 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Last season there were a quite a few really ugly videos on this board of our offensive line in 1 on 1 situations getting run by, run through, and run over. I might be wrong...but I thought it was Bird that posted them. I'm doubtful that each individual on the offensive line can improve that much in one off season. Hope I'm wrong. I guess we well see on Aug 31. Although even then you have to hold judgement until they face an SEC defense. So we may have to wait until the A&M game.

DAG 33,997 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Honestly though if the defense lives up to expectation this will bode well for this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger 8,829 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Our QBs will be just fine. Just not confident it will be this year. Verrrry rare for a freshman to come in and look great. Competent QBing takes time and maturity and you just can't speed that up.. Our DL is supposed to be good, even without a bonafide pass rusher - and this specific OL group hasn't shown anything better than mediocre level of play on the field. Our OL and QBs will look bad with this matchup. Just sucks we have several key opponents with stud DLs and our QBs will still be freshman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aujeff11 6,243 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Could’ve had a heckuva lot more information if Joey went live. Nix too. Hate to beat this dead horse but you just cannot evaluate Joey’s performance without it. Joey in particular is being asked to play scrabble when his strength is chess.
