Not just for players to step up, but for all the players to realize the risks they take when they break the rules. Maybe some lessons will be learned. Hopefully we will go to Bama rested, healthy, and wiser. GEAUX TIGERS!
I hope we don't burn his redshirt. We don't need to. Auburn won't push us with the pass that much in this game (won't be any 4 WR sets). They are going to try to take advantage of what they view as a possible weak link in our defense, the run defense. Hopefully we can use a Derrick Bryant, Sam Gibson, or even Rocky Duplessis instead. Play some 3 safety zone defense. They'll figure it out.
Get ready because he is one of those guys that the staff has been licking their chops about. He has earned it and on the practice field and as we have seen we are not worried about burning redshirts and getting the young guys experience and continuing to recruit the best of the best and get them in early too. We may opt to keep it on him but I wouldn't mind if they didn't. Glenn is reporting that Taylor practiced at CB today and Loston and Reid as the 2 safeties. We will see a mix of guys like Brooks, Bryant, and possible Vinson as well.
I'm not worried about RB, but CB is a concern. TM7 and Simon are both a lot to loose, even though you still have Claiborne. Just have to remember that these are kids of 20 to 21 years old and they have a lot of pressure. Hope it is a life changing experience and really gives them time to think and grow. Les Miles has shown a lot of character to me since the Ryan Perrilou incident and doesn't hesitate to do what needs to be done. Auburn is not a pushover.
Yes, he is a beast, and I'd love to watch him deliver personal messages from TM7 to the Auburn players.
Forgot about Vinson. So we have Possible Corners Pecking Order Claiborne Brooks Taylor Vinson Gibson Eugene? Possible Safeties Pecking Order Reid Loston Taylor Bryant Gibson Duplessis I don't think we burn Ronald Martin's redshirt. I only think he sees the field due to injuries. If I'm not mistaken, hasn't Micah Eugene played this year #34? Pretty sure I've seen him on special teams. If so, add him to the list of CBs.
