There was an article a couple of days on rivals I think. Mason with a lot of coach speak, but said he’s liked how he has progressed so far. Said physically he is doing some impressive things, just learning the position more is needed which is understandable.

Here it is

good interview, one thing that stuck out is Harsin has a process and he mentioned not doing things until you get it right but doing it until you dont get it wrong.

Also focus on removing mental mistakes

Bobo: WR's Light Year's ahead of Spring

quote:

Auburn’s wide receivers had a long way to go after spring practice.

It appears they’re well on the way to getting there.

A summer of hard work, a lot of it on their own, has allowed an inexperienced group of wideouts to become comfortable in a new offense and begin to showcase their skills.

“We’re light years ahead of where we were when we finished spring,” said offensive coordinator Mike Bobo. “That’s a credit to those guys. We can have some meetings with them, what the NCAA allows and film review, but we can’t go on the field.

“They did a lot of that on their own and now we’re able to see they’re not thinking about what a certain formation is or what the motion is or what we call this route. They’re able to go out there and execute it and then we’re able to coach them on the route or how to attack coverages.”

Senior Shedrick Jackson, who is healthy this fall after missing spring with an injury, is one of Auburn’s most experienced receivers with just 10 career receptions.

The learning curve the receivers have to make in the new offense might be more than any position group, but Jackson sees that as a positive.

“I would say it’s a lot more to learn and that’s a good thing too,” Jackson said. “It’s more opportunities for us, route combinations and certain routes we never ran in the past before. Just learning to do things like that, it’s more of a pro-style. I think we’re getting the hang of it and starting to make plays.”

And it’s not just learning the offense. Jackson and the receivers are also studying defenses now.

“People have made plays, but it’s not only on the field; it’s off the field too in the film room,” he said. “We get together, we watch film because we understand we have to learn defenses and see the same thing that Bo (Nix) is seeing. That helps out the whole offense and makes it run more smoothly.”

The addition of freshman Tar’Varish Dawson and transfer Demetris Robertson gives the Tigers nine scholarship wideouts for the 2021 season. Bobo likes the speed that Dawson and Robertson bring to the group and the overall competition among the entire group, which also includes sophomores Kobe Hudson, Ze’Vian Capers, Elijah Canion, Ja’Varrius Johnson and Malcolm Johnson, and redshirt freshman J.J. Evans.

“Competition is the best thing you can have,” said Bobo. “It makes guys more alert and aware everyday of going out and working hard. Coach is about competition and so am I. It’s good to see that competition out there this fall camp.”

Auburn will don in full pads for the first time in Thursday’s practice. The Tigers will hold their first scrimmage Saturday at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

Don't play with my emotions, Owen.

DEFENSIVE LINE SHINES

Worried about Auburn’s defensive line after the loss of Tyrone Truesdell? Pappoe said you shouldn’t be.

“I would say the whole r-line has taken huge steps,” Pappoe said. “They’ve been looking amazing these past few days we’ve been practicing.”

Looks like Oscar Chapman is looking like the starter at punter per an AL.com practice report. After his like 50 something yarder in A-day, I fully support.

Interesting notes from Tom Green/AL.com:


quote:

-- Finley and running back Jordon Ingram both had GoPro cameras attached to the top of their helmets, which was interesting.

-- In what was one of the stranger moments of a viewing period, at least in my seven seasons covering Auburn, Bryan Harsin took a short break before 11-on-11 work and came over to the patio area that the media was watching from. He grabbed a bunch of Auburn hats and went down the line, trying to toss them to media members. It was -- odd, to say the least, as media are not fans and are there to report on the team.


Harsin is definitely fricking with the media now

LINK

More normal observations:

- Derek Mason spent a lot of time working with DBs
- DBs worked on reading receiver reactions to break up passes
- QBs spent a lot of time working with TEs
- Bo Nix spent a lot of time working with Demetrius Robertson
- Harsin bounced around to every group

Wouldn't take too much stock into who was with the 1st and 2nd groups as there are some starters clearly missing from those groups (Fair, McClain, etc)

Al.com only listed the guys who were out there to start the 11v11. Sounds like both Tennison and McClain worked in the first team group but just weren’t the initial 11 with the first team. Capers also worked in the 1st team offense. I think Robertson was starting 1st team because they’re trying to get him more work with Bo, who was the 1st team QB.

I haven’t seen Troxell mentioned. They said the second team OL also worked with the 3rd team so there were only two OL teams for that 11v11

I saw an article earlier that said Troxell has been rotating in with the 1's at RT along with Jackson.


That is a big OL though if that ends up being it. I like it.

Haven’t seen him accounted for. JJ Pegues was there. Jarquez Hunter rotated with the 2’s. Reporters saw Fair.

Weird dynamic where reporters aren’t allowed to talk about absent players or injured players
