I guess this is the best place to sum the team notes per AUC LINK
-Privately many around the program are stunned older D Linemen have not developed at all since coming to Auburn. BM says it's due to talent and bad previous coaching but more to lack of talent.
-Monty may start against the Rebs and expect the younger linemen get more reps as the season progresses.
-Staff very pleased with O Line especially with Reese.
-PT will increase for WR Stevens in the coming weeks.
-D Line poor play gets some blame for results at MLB.
-Some on D were not comfortable with the short yard package versus LSU so Ellis adjusted and went back to base D resulting in better play on D.
-Whit is leaning strongly to sitting out this year and coming back stronger in 2014. (AUR has already said he would RS this season.)
-C. Davis will play versus the Rebs.
-BM said J. Jones has a good chance of returning for Ole Miss. (Hoke said a couple of days ago he was still out.)

Note #1 needs a negative in there somewhere... I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

I agree with the older ends not being as talented. Outside of Lemonier, we didn't really fight anyone for big time ends the last couple years. The young crop is pretty badass and could be awesome.
I don't agree with lack of talent at tackle for the most part but we also don't have truly talented depth there. Wright and Whittaker are results of crap coaching. blackson is a mix bag of talent and coaching, we all knew he would be a project when we got him and with poor coaching he is probably just not as far along. I was never a fan of Nero and Niles at tackle.

I also agree with this for a lot of it but that doesn't cause our linebackers to flat out look like assholes with some of their missed tackles. The d-line's poor play hurts when the linebackers get picked up quick by a fullback or pulling guard but it just isn't an excuse for being out of position, poor coverage or poor tackling.
