damabama 15 Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 blake "the snake" field. considering he found out he was going to start on the bus on the way to tiger walk, the plays he was given in the 1st half, rs freshman making his 1st start, seats relatively full unlike last week, et al, i dont see how he could have played any better. i think he, and the whole team, took a giant step foward today. forget the game stats. this aint fantasy football. all that counts is if you won or you lost. period. auburn is going to be fine. war eagle blake.

PowerI 0 Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Blake did fine under the circumstances, but our defense has got to step it up. I've been disappointed with how our defense has played. We have to play better against good offenses. We really took a hit when Chizik left.

I've been disappointed with how our defense has played. We have to play better against good offenses. We really took a hit when Chizik left. 183577[/snapback] Yeah, after giving up 17 pts in the first half of our first game, we've given up 23 pts since. We suck. PowerI, give it a rest. We have gotten better and I see no reason to think we won't continue to do so. We're playing a ton of players the last two games and they are going to make some mistakes. If you've "got to be realistic", how about starting there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have great defensive players but the defensive strategies have been poor. 183596[/snapback] "The defensive strategies have been poor." Hmm. We've given up 40 pts in four games. 23 of that in the first game, 17 of which was in the first half of the first game. In that same game, Tech gets the ball twice in our territory on turnovers and comes away with two FGs. But the defensive strategies are off. I expect to hear of your job application for defensive coordinator on CTTs desk by Monday afternoon. There's no excuse for Auburn settling for Gibbs when we have brilliant strategists like PowerI on our very own message board sitting idle. Employ this defensive genius, Coach Tuberville! He's got it all figured out. Truth be told, you should have ended your sentence right here: I don't think Exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger88 934 Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Tubbs determines out defensive strategies for the most part. Seemed to do fine last year. Seems to be doing fine this year as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moe 0 Posted September 25, 2005 Author Share Posted September 25, 2005 Just to re-emphasize, our BACKUP quaterback threw for 200 yards and 3 TD's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUslug 1 Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Yeah PowerI, lets run a bunch of new schemes against Ball State and WKU cause those teams can really put up some points, and give the coaches like Darth Visor and Miles a chance to watch the tapes and gameplan around those. It never fails, Auburn doesn't beat a team 70-0 and people act like they know more than every coach out there, and they could do the job better.

It's a wonder that they have time to post here at all, what with all the schools beating down their doors asking them to come transform their defense.

AuNuma1 1 Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 You guys that were there today....is Blake as stone cold in the pocket as Brandon is? Does Blake seem like he could dodge the pressure well? Brandon scares me sometimes with the amount of time he sits in the pocket...just curious about Blake's style really.

Ryan Sanders 123 Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 PowerI, your avatar represents you very well.. LOL BTW, Our defense must suck this year.. we went like like 13 quarters without giving up a TD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damabama 15 Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 is Blake as stone cold in the pocket as Brandon is? al didnt let him throw much in the 1st qtr but by the last half of the 2d qtr he began to throw and made some really good throws. the td to mix before the half really had some stink on it. really zipped the ball into tight coverage. as good a throw as anybody could make. the throw to lee guess in the 4th was a beautiful. touch pass floated in over a linebacker. dead on the money. once he gained a little confidence and the butterflys went away, blake made some really nice throws. in the pocket, he stood in when he needed too, bootlegged when he needed too, scrambled when he needed to. didnt notice the "happy feet" some young qb's are afflicted with. made a nice run for a 1st down. pretty cool customer if i do say so. i came away from the game feeling like auburn has a bonified back up qb we can count on if we have to use him. war eagle blake field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me add that he made good decisions on throwing the ball away at times. He had one pass that floated on him (and it was caught by Mix, I believe), but overall looked good. I was glad to see Lee Guess get a TD pass yesterday also. That ball had some zip on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auskull 239 Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 What can be learned in a game against a Division IAA team? For that matter even Ball State. The only game we played which provided any feedback was GT and they got plastered yesterday by VT. We may have a clue after next week but again, maybe not. I'm not sure who is for real at this point in the season, including AU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke4AU 0 Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 First off War Eagle! I caught alot of flack from family (bama fans) about Tubbs pushing the fact that WKU was #1 in IAA. I think that if most on the Auburn team don't really see it as an impressive win, Field sure should and prob. does. A RS Fr. getting the nod an hour before the game. I'd get nervous to get the nod to get up and pray in church an hour before began...I can't even imagine what he went through. I feel good about the backup talent for those **just in case** scenarios (knock on wood). A RS Fr. goes out and out competes players that you could say were on the same level as he is.... Enjoy your 200+ yds....3 TDS.. Enjoy it. War Eagle!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigermike 3,053 Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 I'm no expert, but I would think that game experience for the 2nd, 3rd & 4th team players is good for all concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moe 0 Posted September 25, 2005 Author Share Posted September 25, 2005 The only game we played which provided any feedback was GT 183695[/snapback] You're kidding me right?

If you've "got to be realistic", how about starting there? 183594[/snapback] We lost the game against GT. Peroid. Va Tech rolled them up 51-7. We shutout doormat Miss State. Nice. They might win 5 MAYBE 6 games this year. We rolled a pathetic Ball State team, who is 0-3 this year (6-19 last 2.5 years) and they (Ball State) have been outscored 159-34 in those 3 losses this year. Hardly a team that we want to benchmark our team against. Or do we??? We beat WKU. #1 ranked Div-II team. What does that mean??? Will we be ranked in the top 10 after that signature win??? The point, is we have played 1 game against a team that had a heartbeat and lost that game. These last 3 scrimmage games that we have played have been good in order to provide experience to the inexperienced players and coaches. Can we derive anything from these last 3 games??? Yea, that we can really beatup outmanned and overmatched teams. Otherwise, I fail to see how you can say that since we played well against Ball State, WKU and MSU, then we will be just fine when we line up against UAT, UGA and LSU. Slight difference in the teams...slight. Until we play another team that is decent I'm not really sure that we know how well this team has developed...IMO.

I was extremely impressed under the circumstances. He's a pretty cool customer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
