Win4AU 4,055 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 (edited) I’d trade series between RA and Holden against UMass and possibly against Cal until one showed they were the better guy. Something to remember is that 14 practices with a brand new coaching staff isn’t going to produce a change. It’s gonna take those practices, the summer “workouts”, the fall practices, and probably even the first couple weeks of the season to make a real difference in the play of the guys Auburn has. Rely on the running game and don’t throw it 40 times. Edit to add if the light was starting to come on for Holden hopefully it’ll get brighter the more reps he gets with the receivers the next 4 months. If not run the zone read with Robbie, Jarquez, and Alston and let him take the top off the defense to Cam Brown or whoever every so often.

MaitlandTiger 325 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 We need Ashford to get touches, regardless. Not BS packages where the D sees it a mile away. He’s as shifty as they get. And fearless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaitlandTiger 325 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 If we have the OLine to make it happen, and if Ashford and RBs are naturally gifted with the vision required, and the hands, the zone read would be just so magical with those athletes. That’s a LOT of ifs. LOl. That’s my favorite O to watch. Wear them down and exhaust them plus it’s so wonderfully demoralizing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually hate that O because it is extremely limited unless you have the perfect pieces and even then you got to catch lucky breaks. Might as well run a triple option. But different strokes for different folks! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWALA Tiger 3,535 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I cant wait to see the marrying of an offensive philosophy to a QB who can execute said philosophy. Been a long time coming at AU. To be able to see us complete a pass in the Red zone for a 1st down is gonna be glorious 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't you like to see him practice at least a couple of times? I understand your comment. Still, if other factors haven't changed,,, I wouldn't be so sure. And, starting and, remaining starter are different. I think we were an 8 win team and, are still an 8 win team unless, we have dramatically improved across the offensive line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we were an 8 win team and, are still an 8 win team unless, we have dramatically improved across the offensive line. I do think we're much better on the offensive line already. I've watched him play live football. I've seen breakdowns of every throw he made in a couple of games, with analysis. He's a significant upgrade to anything we had in the room, even before Finley left. Barring injury, he's QB1, period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abw0004 10,134 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Mane Eazy says Robby so it won’t be Robby. That dude is currently like 0-100 in who he backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexava 6,973 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Is it too late to change my vote? I still hope Robby can contribute in some way. I like his ability and his willingness to be a team player. Great attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
