Lawd Have Mercy!

Because the oppsoing defense is going to need some ….MERCY!

As if you couldn’t tell already. Auburntron has taken liking to the BIG 37… I mean.. this guy is HUGE.  Please watch out for this guy.  Promise you will hear his name this season.  Even SuperMarioFanin agrees, he sees what exactly Mr.Phillips is cabale of. “He’s going to shock a lot of people because he’s so big, but he’s so athletic,” Fannin said. “He’s a guy who can get out of the backfield and catch it. He’ll catch it one-handed. I’ve seen it.” But you say thats just Mario Fannin, Well Curtis Luper has been around for a minute or two and has seen alot.  It is probably safe to say that he has seen his share of impressive backs.   Curtis Luper says Phillips can stand flat-footed and do a back flip. He can also dunk.

Should Tony Barbee consider signing on Phillips to play in the Auburn Arena?  Whew, maybe….back to the turf though-Phillips rushed for 3,000 yards and 49 touchdowns and also played in the defensive line at Handley High School in Roanoke. He publicly showed up on the Auburn recruiting board on signing day.  Hes only 45 minutes away from Auburn. Passing on him would have been a mistake.

I am sure that the Auburn Defense is Happy he is on our side of the Ball… This was probably the picture taken when the Chizik and Company found out they would not have to learn to defend this beast when he committed to The Tigers.

Mr.Phillips

Defense: Check!

We all remember last season.  We started off strong.  We even played strong towards the end of the season, as well.  Somehow Five “Ls” showed up on our record.  Most of them very unfortunate, The Auburn Tigers Led to start off most games.  Problem: Defense.  The guys just got tired. plain. simple.  Now- a whole conference room of defense is ready to help our returning defense.  New linebackers, corners, THE WORKS!

Example: The Auburn defensive coordinator, who coached a remarkably thin
linebacker corps last season, saw four defenders go all 115 plays in the
Outback Bowl on Jan. 1(No reserve). But suddenly he has a meeting room full of
players for 2010.  “It’s nice to walk into a room and for your chairs to be filled
up as opposed to being in a half-empty room last year,” Roof said. “It’s
created an environment of competition that’s made everybody better.”

Ted Roof isn’t lonely anymore…
