quote:Auburn lost their best player on defense, Dee Ford, and another player that wasn't near considered best, Chris Davis. Auburn's defensive line is easily the deepest on the team with Carl Lawson, Gabe Wright, DeVonte Lambert, Elijah Daniel and others playing defensive end - therefore, Dee Ford is hard to replace, but it is possible. Chris Davis was an average cornerback, nothing more. He wasn't even drafted.
Where did I say that?
The reason I don't think your defense improves is because you lost your best players on defense. People think A&M's offense will take a dip this year because they lost Manziel and Evans. It's really not that crazy to think that Auburn's defense could regress after losing Ford and Davis.
Texas A&M lost Johnny Manziel, Jake Matthews and Mike Evans - all 1st round picks.
The comparison is bad...

Dee Ford gone and now Lawson. Chris Davis might have been average but face it,he was the best you had last year. I keep reading about all these NFL WR's in this thread, now you boys got all over Kiffin for saying something like that. WHO are these WR's? And what NFL team would they start for? Such a silly thing to say,the posters should be banned for it.
See how it is when the tables are turned? Ordinarily I could care less about your bragging but
I am just pointing out the hypocrisy.

You mean the LSU fans talking about Auburn wide receivers?
This was the only Auburn fan post about wide receivers:
quote:So, again, where was this talk about Auburn wide receivers starting for NFL teams? It looks like you completely made that up since it didn't come from anything in this thread.
If you have followed Gus's career, you would see that he has not run the same Offense two years in a row. That will be the case this year, with more weapons at WR and more comfort by Marshall. I think AU Offense will be harder to stop this year.

The play at LB exposed the secondary last year. Davis was the best corner by the end of the year, but at times he was picked on. AU did not have any depth at Safety last year and had to play some undersized converted corners. AU has some quality in the secondary now to go along with depth. Dee Ford was AUs best player, but C. J.Mosely was Bama's. All we hear from them is how great the D will be this year, even with that same secondary.

But it's not the same secondary.

Chex Mix and AubieAlumdvm. Mix stated Auburn had NFL talent at WR and the Alum agreed with him. In this thread.
Now TT this is no different than what Kiffin said about the Alabama RB's. Not one bit.And Kiffin is a hell of a lot more qualified to say it.
Talk in here about Duke too.Duke hasn't played a down at AU. Holding you to the same standard you are holding Kiffin, saying anything about someone that hasn't done anything is just awful.

So you are comparing "having NFL talent at a certain position" to "Lane Kiffin on Yeldon/Henry/Drake: “There probably aren’t 3 more talented HB in the NFL on a roster""? I see your point. Not any difference at all.

You only had two all-SEC players on defense, and Davis was one of them. You can tell yourself he sucked, but if he was that bad then he wouldn't have been recognized by the coaches and the AP.
Losing him doesn't make your defense any better.

Kiffin said they were as talented. He did NOT say they were better. Get it right Barners you're twisting words. NFL talent is no different than what Kiffin said. If they are so good what team could they play on? See how it is when it is turned back on you?

and Davis was one of them
Take a look at the others in the secondary for that All-SEC team.

So why will last years backups be better then Saban starters ?

You do seem to be holding Alabama and Auburn to two different standards here.

You aren't adding much. You only signed two linebackers in this class, a position you guys keep saying is vital to your defense. What else are you adding to the defense?
Posted on 6/1/14 at 1:49 pm to Irons Puppet
I expect to give up more big plays because there's lots of youth. But the talent may be better than Milliner/Kirkpatrick. We will just have growing pains like 2010.

Have I even commented on Alabama in this thread before now?
