We continue to play experience over talent. Mincy sucks no reason not to try out some of the younger guys. Freshman dB's play all the time (just not at auburn).

Too much dline rotation too. Find your best four and stick with them. Seems like every time Gabe or Bradley make a big play they get subbed out.

Our defense was better then Stephen Roberts was playing. Havent seen him in 3 games

Johnathan Jones was the only fricking DB that played worth a shite. Stop hating on the kid. He is good

Crazy to think AJ Greene, Chad Slade, Jake Holland, Jared Cooper, John Sullen, Neiko Thorpe, Clint Moseley, Kiehl Frazier, and others, were able to start for Auburn at some points in their careers.


Well Thorpe is a borderline NFL guys so he's not that bad.

I didn't say anything about Jones. Instill think him and Reed should start. Also think he wpuld be a solid #2 CB

He's done about as much as John Sullen, which is nothing. Neiko Thorpe fricking blows. Time won't erase his terrible play from my mind like it has others.

Trovon Reed would've been a damn fine corner if he played his whole career there.

We can thank Chiz for that. What is really going to piss me off is when Gus plays McGriff at Wr instead of DE like he should and waste his career. 6.3 240 WR? Cmon man

Serious bro? If he has good hands our passing game will just wreck people. It will be near impossible for them to defend bubble screens without committing seriously to the perimeter which would open them up to being dominated in the interior


Next year and going forward we should have some dominate DEs. We are screwed this year because we have 3 pass rush DEs and 2/3 were injured and 2/3 are true FR. Once we have Lawson, Kennion and Thornton in, it will make guys like Lambert, Daniel and Andrew Williams look damn good in run support
