the 2012 version will be doing very well to get to 8 wins this year IMO.

I don't think so. I know AU has some good young talent, but I think you guys are still a year away form really being a threat in the West, maybe two. Your OL is going to be a major liability just as it was last year, and in the SEC--that's a season killer. Green QB who hasn't proven he can be a passer in this league. No big backs in your new pro style offense, no real stand out at WR other than maybe Blake. On D, your DL should be good. Probably the strength of your team. But the LB's are still really small and weak, and your secondary while improved will still only be mediocre. That all adds up to a 7-8 win year IMO.

Shitty bait is shitty. allin was the only one saying Holland would be great. Most Auburn fans are just hoping he will be improved/serviceable until Foster gets here.

quote:I disagree a bit. Yes, it won't be dominant and will struggle some at times, but Dismukes (once he comes back) will be a lot better, and Robinson will be a huge upgrade from Green at LT, IMO. I think they'll be alright for the most part.

quote:Agreed, but we had that last year too, but this year's version is more talented. We'll see if he can put it together some.

No big backs in your new pro style offense
quote:I think they'll be improved as a unit. Not great, but definitely better than last season.

quote:Agreed on DL and LBs. But I think the DBs will be much better than mediocre. they'll be pretty solid IMO.
On D, your DL should be good. Probably the strength of your team. But the LB's are still really small and weak, and your secondary while improved will still only be mediocre.
Overall, I think we'll be better than last season. We'll keep the losses much closer, and beat Clemson to make us 8-4

Auburn's 2 deep LB weight compared with some other SEC 4/3 LB's. All these weights are from the rivals depth charts. You'll see that we're really not all that small and weak, as you claim, and we'll be even bigger next year. I tried to leave next year out of it, but I'm pretty excited about our LB corps in the next few years.
