Could not really blame him. I mean they can sell how their last qb turned out. We, on the other hand...

Gus Malzahn is super paranoid and shut down all coaches speaking to the media pretty much. Also shut down access inside the facilities outside of certain times.

So you're saying KB is not coming to AU and doubebubble is heading to Tech?

We don’t need Bryant. I personally want him most to mentor Bo Nix. He’s an exceptional person and, by all accounts, a real leader.

I think the offense can be fine with Malik it’s just going to be a weird transition to a read option for one season before Nix should be ready to run a non-read offense.

I respect your opinion, but what have you seen that makes you think that?

I've seen nothing in Willis that gives me hope. The safety, missing open receivers on 2pt plays and such are IMHO indicators he doesn't get it. What team's db was saying he can't pass? lol

I'm with you on Bryant if he couldn't beat the golden boy then how is he going to save this mess?

I really hope Bo/Cord or Gatewood comes in and takes over like we see other freshmen QB's do at other schools.

I think with bowl practices and the off season installing the read option will be enough to move the ball with Malik.

I’m not suggesting by any means that it will be dominant or transcending but I think Malik is talented enough to spark the offense.

Yeah, he was quite unsuccessful this season but I think that’s probably a product of not getting the snaps he needs to be good at the read option. It takes a bit of experience to get the hang of it and when your game planning calls for it seldom to never you’re just not going to get the reps you need to be successful.

That’s also why I’d like to see KB here because I think it could set us back further longterm by going back to read option when Nix is clearly the QB of the future in our QB room

Gatewood will name the score against Purdue.

This is pretty horrible analysis on Pappoe. Barton Simmons has very little clue how to truly evaluate anyone.

He uses the same logic to crap on OP as he does to praise Nakobe Dean.

Look at this...
Praising Nakobe Dean (6'0" 215lbs):
quote:

"The height and length are minor concerns, but those are the only real questions about his game and his projection."

Trashing Owen Pappoe (6'0" 205lbs):
quote:

“Pappoe is an elite athlete, but there are some questions about his projection down the road. ... Is he is a big safety that can play in the box? Is he an every down linebacker?

What a crock of shite.

But that gives me hope he's coming to AU after all.

Why do we always get upset over the rankings? It happens EVERY year. This BS recruiting crap was made specifically to hype the "death star"!!!

Hell no to Cord ever seeing the field. It blows my mind people still think he can play. I don't think Willis is as bad as people say either. He missed some reads and throws this year.. I watched Stidham do it all year too soo.

Dropping Pappoe is a joke lol. Regardless if he comes to Auburn or not he has lived up the expectations of a 5* recruit.
