Sunday practice: Early observations

We got to watch a portion of Auburn's football practice today (our last taste until A-Day) and here are a couple of observations:
  • I didn't see the actual action, but defensive end Antoine Carter had to be carted off the field. It appeared he wasn't putting any weight on his right foot. Not sure how serious this was.
  • Eltoro Freeman was working with the first team at week-side linebacker instead of Spencer Pybus. Freeman, who has played weak-side his whole career, previously worked as a backup to Craig Stevens on the strong side.
  • Redshirt freshman Marcus Jemison worked with the linebackers. He is listed as a safety on the roster.
  • Safety Zac Etheridge (shoulder) was wearing a white jersey, presumably meaning he's allowed to participate in contact now.
  • Tight end Tommy Trott (knee) was also back in blue, although there weren't any contact drills, so we don't know what that means.
  • H-back Mario Fannin was back in action after turning an ankle last week.
  • Wide receiver Montez Billings was not dressed. He has an undisclosed injury that's preventing him from taking the field.
  • Our Tour de Francers today (guys on the bike): OL Rudy Odom, LB Da'Shaun Barnes, DL Derrick Lykes, OL Bart Eddins, LB Adam Herring.

.....In your polls, I voted for the wide receivers. But frankly, if you're building a football team, a good D-line is top priority. I'm old-school, that way.

.....With no big-time tackles, one great ends, and our second-best pass-rusher getting carted off today, the D-line is my biggest concern about this team, easily.
