  1. Might as well admit it now. Trotter is a HUGE bust. (Maybe the biggest ever at Auburn to play out his entire career) How in the hell he made the Mackey watch list will be one of the biggest mysteries in sports for those who follow sports closely. I guess he gives a good interview at least.

  6. Just looked at the slideshow from practice on al.com. I noticed that Tyrik and Kodi do not grip the laces on the football. While, Chris and Neil do. Wondering if this has anything to do with problems in accuracy we saw from Kodi.

  7. Tyrik was very accurate in HS so I dont know if that is a tell-tell sign or not.

  8. You dont HAVE to grip the laces on the ball. Usually gripping the laces help you to put spin on the ball when you release it.

  9. Laces or no laces probably have very little to do with Kodi's inaccuracies in the past. A lot of accuracy has to do with footwork. If you've ever watched him play then you know that half, if not more, of his throws are thrown outside the pocket where footwork and balanced throws go out the window. Therefore, bigger and better o-line, as well as a competent OC should help Kodi's case A LOT!!
