Nice. Last I checked, it was me having to explain to you how to make a legit football arguement when you were talking out of your arse.

Now, you want to tell me what you disagree with so I can "learn" you some more lil feller?

Greg Robinson (at right or left tackle)


Probably.

Jay Prosch (fullback)


Our fullback doesn't even start at fullback.

quote:

Cody Parkey (kicker)


Bama's kicker is better at field goals. Your guy could kick off, I guess.

quote:

Reese Dismukes (center)


Maybe! Our center is pretty good when healthy, though.

quote:

Dee Ford (outside linebacker


Definitely. That guy is a beast.

quote:

Tre Mason also has an argument to start at running back.


It's not a very good argument. He wouldn't do as well as Yeldon in our scheme, IMHO.

quote:

Steven Clark could also start at punter.


Nope.

So, there are three positions out of 22 (plus special teams) where Auburn has the arguably to definitely better player. Yikes.

Crack or meth?

and kick the ball high enough to get there and stop the opponent for about half what they gain on Bama returning punts.


Alabama has given up slightly fewer yards on exactly the same number of punts, while punting the ball five yards farther.

All against a harder schedule.


Duhhhh...it's virtually the same schedule, doofus, except Bama played Virginia Tech and Auburn played Georgia.

Sammie Coates could likely start opposite Cooper.

It is really how teams play as a unit and style matchups though really.

I assume you mean "teach", TnM. You'll have to bear with me, I don't speak dumbass.

The two of you auburn fans who have deluded yourselves into thinking you have a passing game but "just haven't needed it" are beyond hope.

This week is off to a booming start.

I just wanna know if my boy Dufner will be there. He still lives in Auburn last I heard.

We will find out soon enough. Mark it down though, Coates gets close to 100 yards receiving.

Coates is talented for sure. But I wouldn't trade him for Norwood, or White or Jones.

Just curious...

How many Auburn, South Carolina, or LSU players would hyou have taken over Alabama players in 2010? I'm going to assume not many.

IMO, Kevin Norwood is better than Amari Cooper.

Sammie Coates is better than both, IMO.

I'm serious. I would take Sammie Coates over both in a heart-beat. I'm not saying this only because I was in love with Sammie Coates as a prospect coming out of high-school, but he's really stepped it up this year and has proven he's one of, if not the, best deep threats in college football. He's a freak of nature.

And he's outproduced both of them this year as well.

He might be better than Norwood, but I strongly disagree that he is better than Cooper.

this can be shut down with defensive discipline which I think Saban and Smart do a pretty good job teaching.


Before I say anything... I'm not saying AU wins (wont be surprised if they do though). BUT... This is exactly what Gus' offense is based on. Discipline is predictable. He creates mismatches by the way they are disciplined to cover certain motions and movements. Once again, I think bama is #1 and should be. BUT.... AU will take them to the wire IF they can. IF they can't. IDGAF, I predicted 7 MAAAAAYBE 8 wins this year and they've by far exceeded my expectations.

Don't get me wrong, I want and would ABSOLUTELY love to beat bama but in my mind AU is MOST DEF playing with house money.

I understand the sentiment, but when we are playing the IB at JH it is never house money. There is no way I will not be pissed if bama wins in AU ever.
