Metz and Morgan are my favorite defensive guys...both got some dog in 'em.

He had one play where he caught trying to jump the route. He played well the rest of the game.

I thought Lee was tolerable yesterday.

O’Neal really struggled. I nearly blew a gasket when he missed a routine tackle that was going to bring up 3rd and 15.

Morgan is the best player in the secondary. Maybe even when Brown is healthy.

O'Neal ideally is a depth piece, injuries and Lee struggling has put him on the field too much.

He got dogwalked by Cam Coleman last year when Auburn played Mercer.

What about when he made the TFL on 3rd down in the 4th quarter?

The DPI on ONeal was bullshite.

I thought he played pretty good in place of Zabien who was clearly still hobbled.

Cam Coleman is probably the best WR Auburn ever had this century.

I’m glad he made some good plays but I think overall he didn’t have a very good game. But overall we as a defense did what it took. I’m good with the whole unit.

For sure, though O'Neal is more likely to see talented players regularly playing in the SEC than he did at Mercer.

Not trying to knock him, I just don't think expectations were high when he transferred in. Need depth/role players too.

Hopefully we can use the next 3 games to incorporate Cedearian Morgan into the offense

Sammy Coates exists.

We hopefully have a chance the next two weeks to play some more depth guys. CKD already plays a lot of guys. But against Chattanooga we should play as many backups as possible.

It would be great to put Vandy away early.

We need to get EJ some more runs. Maybe get Noah Rogers going a little bit. I'd tell Steve M to plan on playing a lot against the Mocs. We gotta keep big Terrence healthy. Get Griffin and Edwards a bunch of reps. I expect to see some more of QB Reese. We gotta get ready to stop Byrum Brown, and we will need our LBs to get after his arse.

Mack Sutter is the next guy in the TE room. He is a true freshman that is supposed to be very good, one day.

4.5 is the number of routes he knew how to run too

He could hit the homerun though.

Dijon probably should have given up an 80 yard score to 4 but it was a really bad pass. LSU ended up scoring on the drive anyway, but ultimately he just isn't a corner I don't think.

Is he healthy? I didn’t remember seeing him once yesterday.

You think Coates is better than Coleman?

AP has us up all the way from nine… to seven.

Hope the team is paying attention.

Depends on what you mean better?

More talented? Probably not. Coleman is a tick faster and taller too. Coates is definitely more explosive.
They both have drop concerns but Coates was clutch AF. He also had 14 catches of 30 or more yards in a single season. He also owns the school record for receiving yards in a game which happened in the Iron Bowl against 2013 BAMA defense- not a directional school.

Sammy Coates was a very good college receiver.

Somehow they are gonna have to get Russel to play from the start like he does in the 3rd or 4th q. Is it nerves ? Eyes adjusting to the light ? Brain adjusting to the speed ? Adderall needed maybe ? ?? The guy is definitely great once he settles in but there's not much time for that especially reaching the playoffs. So many of those teams can run the score up pretty fast. I would say Russell's stock is pretty much the same. I never go into a game with that confidence that we're definitely winning. I do miss that
