Fan Day Practice

I had a great time yesterday at fan day and came home with a lot of excitement and a few worries. I' m no football expert but I think know what I' m talking about most of the time so this is just my observation. First of all GMac played great and I have no worries about him leading our team but the back-ups scared me a little. Star Jackson had nice passes but also had under throws, overthrows and an indecisive release. Darrah looked awkward and didn't impress me at all but I see a lot of potential in AJ yet he did get chewed out for throwing one away. He did seem to have a confidence about him and I believe if Greg went down he'd be our quarterback. The receivers looked great. Of course Julio was amazing and I saw Gibson making catch after catch all day. Hanks, McCoy and Maze looked great too. Peek was impressive and had nice size and good hands. Trent Richardson was explosive and has the power to run some folks over! He was Huge!!! man he must of started working out in 1st grade..... Lacy impressed me as much as TR and I can't believe I'm saying that but just wait. Just wait. The Defense was nasty!!!!!!!! I can't say enough on how impressed I am. Robby Green was all over the place and always where the ball ended up. His natural instincts are amazing. Don'ta and Rolando behind Cody is speechless. Thats all can say,,,, Im in shock. Don'ta was all over the quarterbacks and even poped Gmac to the ground one time. Between him and Rolando it sounded like gunfire the whole practice and I know they were holding back a little on the teammates.. wow. But that is what brought me to my worries. I hope our defensive pass rush is that good. Carpenter( I think it was) did a great job at LT and no one came through the middle but they zoomed right past Fluker at RT more than a few times. He's still learning and has plenty of practice time to get it right so im sure they will have a great Oline when the season starts. 26 more days!!!!!!!!! I can't wait.

I'm hearing that Julio Jones and Mark Ingram could be suspended for the first game against Virginia Tech due to an Auburn alumni paying for a fishing trip.??????? Is it true .....

2009 schedule finalized and released

When Florida’s center, Maurkice Pouncey, was questioned about it in this weeks press conference, his answers tell a lot of how this story will end.

Q. Have you played anybody like Cody this year, as wide as he is or as low to the ground as he is?

MAURKICE POUNCEY: Not that I can say, but we play great players every week, though.

Q. On film what do you see? When guys have success against him, what do they do?

MAURKICE POUNCEY: What did you say?

Q. When guys have success against Cody, what do they do?

MAURKICE POUNCEY: I don’t know, just go out there and play hard, get physical with him. He’s a great player, great athlete, and we’ve just got to go out there and play physical.

Coach Meyer, here’s a prime example of a unit "thinking it is a physical group, but not understanding how much of a physical front they are about to face."
