Gaby’s pre-camp buzz

That OL comment is interesting. When healthy last years line was great. If this is the best of the Mario tenure we will be cooking.

Is Scott back to all sec form as a punt returner? Hope so. We need reliable hands and some game breaking ability. We’ve had nothing there since Jeff Thomas. And no more 35 jersey please.

Safety depth is terrifying. To put it mildly. Damari brown really stuck on being a corner? Could be just as good at safety I feel.

Marion and Scott giving us something in the return game could be huge against Notre dame. We need to tip the scales in other spots after losing the #1 offense. Specials and defense need to pull weight. Will we cover kicks this year? Notre dame has a Greta special teams unit and they can return kicks to the house. Believe they did it against Georgia?

I would say he'd be a better Safety than CB. He's too stiff at CB. And obviously much easier path to playing time. OJ, Lucas, O'Connor all easily ahead of him at CB.

So concerned about S but no mention of DT & K which might be just as serious. Praying Toure & the LB group can show us something. Also eager for more solid intel on Beck.

DT I agree but K probably hard to put in these reports. We had guys on the roster, they apparently didnt look great so we got the transfer from texas who should start, I am sure he is doing fine in practice but you never know with kickers until lights turn on. This guy obviously had the yips last year, maybe a change of scenery does him well, maybe its more of the same

Thanks, I'm a dope. Still, surprised there isn't anyone else

There is… It's just every staff here doesn't seem to understand the concept of kick and punt returns.

I'd love for C.Brown to prove me wrong, but

KR possibilities: Marion (has had success so I'm cool with him getting the job), CWH, Pringle, Lyle...maybe Fitzgerald eventually

PR possibilities: Scott, Toney, Trader… (sounds like they are on board here)…Maybe the backup RB or Antoine/Fitz. I don't blame them for trying Joseph there last year, but he didn't do much.

TIFWIW

-Brown getting a lot buzz, will be on kick returns too with Marion

- Best OL they’ve had so far

-Toney expected to make a big impact right away in the slot

-They think Josh Moore is a star on the outside. They love Upshaw, the WR class is a big hit

-Schottand Gilbert are physically ready

-Blount looking explosive. Lightfoot flashing and Lowe is as advertised

-Toure the biggest pickup of the offseason. Game wrecker. Pruitt had a great offseason. Wiley will take some time to develop but is a freak athlete

-Lucas and OJ are big time. o’Connor needs to add weight but is an impact player

-Scott looks great back at nickel. “Home run addition”. Will be the punt returner

-Safety is a big question mark. They need Thomas to be good

none of this matters. Lets see it on the field.

worried about FG kicker

I saw how Baxa and Feagles cost us games so I don’t underestimate the value of ST but I really think Auburn will be fine. The kid missed some big kicks and it probably got to him as the season went along. He was good the 2 years before that. As long as he starts out making those 30-40 yard kicks, we should be fine.

yeah, we've been spoiled and I'm not expecting Bor Brothers excellence. I'd be cool with what you said inside 40 being money and we good
