Auburn does not have a defense. We will beat them on September 18th.

Oh yea....it's a huge secret and now it's out. Hell, AU will prolly need to change it up now against LSU......whew :rofl: :grin: :rofl: :grin: :rofl:

Hey, take a close look at those formations, they're the same as last season. No big deal at all. It's only what you can do out those formations that can even have an impact.....

It's about coaching, personnel and speed and the ability

to sustain blocking ... 4 strikes and you're most certainly out

Spell ~I~M~P~O~T~E~N~T~ ...

spell Auburnt's offensive attack ...

Better hope Auburn can show Vanilla early against ULM & Moo U ... or the whipping will be worse than last year :hihi:

Oooh! Looks like they're giving away all the secrets now!

I attended the second practice today because 8:30 was just too early. At the beginning of practice the team went over kickoff coverages with reserve players holding tackling dummies for sprinters to avoid. We also worked on returns and punt returns and coverages. The team then ran sprints for about 10 minutes and some group endurance and skill drills. We also worked on the two minute offense for most of the rest of practice. Jason Campbell was wearing #11 and Calvin Booker was wearing #17 which threw me off for a while.

The kickers weren't looking too hot from what I saw-not just kicking with the team but by themselves. There is a definite mechanical flaw with their kicking swings-I was watching them from behind and it seems like they had a different kick swing on every kick imo-I do not think nerves have as much to do with their inconsistency as mechanics. On the way out I asked some of the players if they wanted a ride and like 20 of them jumped in the back of my friend's truck and we took them back to the athletic building-it was pretty funny.

I did see us running some secret formations and plays that I probably shouldn't post but here they are:
We would run the fumblrooskie out of the nuclear power dotted I:

-------------X-----------
-------------X-----------
-------------X-----------
-------------X-----------
-------------X-----------
-----X-X-X-X-X-X------

The statue of Liberty play out of the super deluxe Wishbone of annihilation:
-----X--------X------
-------X----X--------
----------X----------
----------X----------
---X--X--X--X--X----

Then we would run the annexation of Puerto Rico out of a formation with Marcus McNeil lined up at QB:

-----------------------\---/--------------------
------------------------\-/---------------------
------------------------/-\---------------------
-----------------------/---\--------------------
----X--------X----------------------------------
---------X-------X--X--X--X--X--X------X---

Then we would just line up and give the ball to this guy:

Today's practice Carlos Rodgers participated and is now, like Junior and Stanley, also supporting the orange visor. The defense was getting more pressure on the QBs and I thought Monte Pitts looked good. Chris Browder worked in and out with the first team D. They spent a good deal of practice doing light scrimmaging, which I feel is the most benifical as far as game speed.
They spent alot of time at the beginning of practice, on offense, practicing shifting. They would come out in a power I with Mix, Carnell, and Ronnie in the backfield and then shift to a flex formation like this:

--------------X---------------
-------------------------------
--X-----------X------------X--
----X--X--X--X--X--X--X----

...and run Ronnie out of it. They would then come out in a tight trips and shift to five wide. I noticed that most of the time we would shift into a formation that we have been running at practice-ie we would shift into the tight trips:

-----------------X----------------------
-----------------------------------------
-----------------X----------X-------X--
---X-----X--X--X--X--X-------X-------

or something else we are currently comfortable with and generally pass out of it. I just felt like illustrating biggrin.gif I am feeling really good about our offense. I have been going to Auburn practices for several years and (including Petrino) I have never seen this amount of depth to what we were doing. The receivers were doing drills today the I could have imagined someone like Spurrier's recievers might have done. They also worked on punt coverages which means the time is getting closer.

From reading Proud Tigers comments on the WEN board, I have come to the conclusion, that these formations are WAY to complicated for their football team, so they must be formations for that award winning marching band of theirs.

That one's Skyler with the ball heading to the end zone behind the AU defense. Give it a second and the lame seconday will catch up to the picture.
