dbagwell 3 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Haven't seen anybody post this so I thought I would ask..... What was up with the drone? Looked the ref even tried to run up and knock it out the air early in the game. Was it some random person trying to disrupt the game? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it was property of the Auburn coaching staff getting a view of of lineman getting set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaotic_zx 1,047 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 I am highly and pleasantly surprised that Ashford didn't have a turnover. Especially in the rain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easter is tomorrow. If it was 75 like it has been for the past 7 days and like it'll be for the next 7, there would be 45,000 people there. Weather is s*** and it's unfortunate. You want to know why we had it today??? Something I've been wanting Auburn to do vs being hard headed. WE HAVE ZERO COMPETITION. Look at the recruiters here. The visit is is possibly the best its been in 25 years. So dumb ti compete against other schools for players. It was great scheduling, the recruit turnout is massive and the Masters nor Easter kept them away. 🤣. They are the important ones Like I said I'm sure there's a good reason. I really don't follow recruiting close enough to know when other teams are having their games. Do other teams have their games next week? Seems like everyone used to do them the same weekend except for maybe Vandy. I wasn't blaming the weekend for the attendance. It was pretty obvious why no one was there and that had been forecast all week. I was just thinking out loud and wondered why it couldn't be next week. You're right that the only thing that matters is recruiting this weekend. I always forget how meaningless this game is till I watch it every year. Now we wait till SEC Media Days and Fall Practice to begin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just making that comparison from what little bit we did see. 9 hours ago, ScotsAU said: I learned nothing today. TJ threw some great passes a few of which were dropped, but made a few bad pocket decisions. Robbie moved the ball the best, but barely threw the ball. One of his passes was an abysmal read into triple coverage. Geriner just looked inconsistent. A few great plays and an equal number of bad ones. But you also have to remember that rain was intense for a lot of the game. In weather like that, you have to have perfect execution. You aren’t going to have that when installing a new offense. So, I’d say the order for me right now is Ashford, TJ, Geriner. But that’s solely because that was the depth chart at the end of the season. Robbie clearly has wheels, and isn’t afraid to tuck and go, which has real advantages. He did thread one nice long pass in there. Greiner I thought made some pretty good reads as well. For example, on that beautiful 2 point play (did I mention I loved that play?) when he had about 4 different options, he read and executed it perfectly. Finley looked more composed than I remember, but I’m still really not sold on decision making under pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icanthearyou 4,464 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 It was a miserable day, cold and continuous rain. However, had a really great time. My son got the chance to meet several of our players. I cannot say enough about how kind and generous with their time the following were: Battie, Alston, Smith, Wright, Mba,,, all really, really good guys. Others as well but, these guys really stood out. Exceptional human beings. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weagl1 1,789 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Dang if I wouldn’t give Sean Jackson a few carries late in games. That guy is a load and I don’t think tired defenders would want any of that! He looks like Rudy Johnson running the ball. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUnCullman 601 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 My thoughts on A-day 2023 As said above #44 reminds me so much of Rudy also. Elite/elusive footwork and looked like he had his head on a swivel. Not blazing speed and runs a little upright but kid was fun to watch. Battie is going to be great. #35 looked good to me also, may not get the touches but ran the ball well. Not even going to talk about QB. Well, i guess I just did. meh OL! It wasn't exactly the best test on a wet field but I think we could see glimpses of a much improved line. Maybe not our greatest but most of these kids weren't here 6 months ago and most of them will be our starters in the Fall. May take fall before they really gel as a unit. Defense looked good but I didnt see much more than base defense sets. Secondary looks like they have lots of speed and really close on the ball. They are going to cause a lot of problems for our opponents this fall. Which brings me to my biggest, WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON HERE point. Why did the receivers not use their gloves??? Did any one else notice? The big tall receiver even had them in his belt and missed a couple of catches. A real head scratcher there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearing in mind that I played in a time when we didn't use gloves to catch a football but could it be that in wet conditions you can actually somewhat dry your hands between snaps but gloves will remain wet once they are wet? I'm just guessing but I don't get the infatuation with gloves anyway...but again, I'm old school...my receiver idol was Fred Biletnikoff and he was the stick 'em king. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100% I have tried them on before and they are super sticky. I am amazed that balls can even be dropped and can definitely see how these kids make 1 handed grabs these days. Seems like when they wet it would stick more but I may be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
