Game Thread: ****Bama vs. Bama****
- Thread starter TIDE-HSV
- Start date
If anything, Coach Saban don't seem to be concerned about the offense through, so he knew this would happen...
We're the announcers talking about Kirby smart when they said "he wants to see them go for fumbles"? Cause that doesn't sound like us
Our 1st string O is going against our 1st string D
AU's first offense is going against their #2 defense. So there is a difference.
My biggest takes from the game were these---
Either we have the greatest defensive line potential in America, or our offensive line has a long long long way to go.
Blake still struggles with the short tight passes, and still showed a tendency to shoot it into traffic.
Reggie Ragland is going to be really really good.
Tony Brown will start at corner. He makes man coverage look like a walk in the park. What an athlete he is!
I really liked the redshirt freshman wide outs...
It's going to take awhile for the offense to adjust to Kiffin's new system. It's actually pretty different from what we've run the past few years.
All, in all..I think the defense had a huge advantage in this game because it looked like they knew our playbook. Of course they've practiced against our offense every single day. That makes it easier to defend us.
Let's get better in a hurry! Roll Tide---sip

Agreed, you can tell Auburn is going more for entertainment value than competition. I doubt either game is a true gauge to how either team will actually look come August.
Agree...I also now agree that Coker had better be the real deal or we are in trouble at QB. Sims looked overwhelmed to me...Bateman could be good in a year or two...not yet ready...I am unsure about our OL...I hope the Juco OL is a hoss cause we need him on the left...

Sims didn't look good, and I have been pulling for him to do well. I think it was a combination of things. The DL played well, truth be told the entire Defense looked good, Sims didn't handle the mental side of the game well, and the play book was very small. I'm sure the offense we saw today was nothing like what the team had been running in the closed scrimmages. It was very vanilla to say the least. All of these things together gives you a poor performance. That to me is the most frustrating thing about the A-Day game. I never know if the defense or offense is that good or bad, or if it is a combination of both. I don't take much away from today except that Sims didn't seem to read the defense well, and wasn't accurate on short passes or any passes really. I have no idea how good the O-line or D-line really are. We won't know until after the 4th or 5th game.
I think you can draw the conclusion that Auburn's 2nd team offense and defense is pretty bad.
In case you want to watch it again -- on tomorrow @ 9am CT. I will record and watch the 4th quarter...I think...

What did the boogs draw? They're always trying to outdo us whenever they can. Glad they could'nt
He won't start right away ( Tony Brown) but Look for him to start after 4 or 5 games, and keep that in mind we got Marlon H coming in ths summer...
I wonder what Kiffin is thinking after watching the team struggling this afternoon? think Coaches s going back to the drawing board and make some changes to make it easy for QB...But they won't do that until COker comes in... It's starting to look like It's Coker's job now to lose.
Coker looked like a big moose walking on the sideline. Didn't realize he was so big, not just tall. Hope he is good; we need him. I can't believe Tennpenny or even Drake don't leave. Drake looks great when he runs the ball. I can see him in the pros, but the carries won't be there doesn't look like. Don't get me wrong. I am delighted to have him, but man he looks explosive to be third string; if that is what he is. If I was him, that is where I would think I was in the pecking order. Of course fumbles, not ability are probably more of a cause, but bama is loaded at runningback with the top three.
Exactly...I think we'll have two freshman starters at corner next year. Crazy I know, but our corner play was extremely iffy last season, at best.
