He's at Auburn! The receivers' coach!

http://sports.yahoo....01197--nfl.html

Blake, who made most of his bones with the Cincinnati Bengals and New Orleans Saints but played for seven different NFL teams from 1992 through 2005, was one of two people throwing to receivers on the Auburn campus (receivers coach Dameyune Craig was the other), and one of the receivers was Blake's son, Emory.

Currently NFLDraftScout.com's 44th-ranked receiver, the 6-foot-1, 189-pound Blake will likely see an NFL field as a camp invite -- perhaps with the Carolina Panthers. In 2010, he was a favorite target of Cam Newton's, catching 32 passes for 526 yards and eight touchdowns.

I wonder if Cam will lobby for Emory.

Craig just moved over from FSU. He's a heck of a recruiter, and that seems to be the reason Auburn was prepared to give him a hefty raise and promotion. Coaching wise, I never saw miracles.

Still, he's had no real influence on Blake whatsoever if that's the angle you're looking for.

He didn't get that much of a raise. I know your FSU boards were saying Auburn is paying him $1 million, but that ain't even close to true. I've heard its more like between $400-500k,

But (1) he did get a "promotion" (he is co-offensive coordinator), (2) he got to go home to "mama", and (3) he got to work with Rodney Garner again (who was a coach at AU when Dameyune was playing there and who he is very close to).

Dameyune is the 3rd best QB Auburn has ever had... just behind 2 Heisman Trophy winners.

Blake would make any team (and if its the Panthers, I'd be thrilled) a great Welker-like slot receiver, great hands, runs precise patterns, isn't slow (but is no speed demon, granted), and football-smart from a football-family.

      What to Consider when you Draft in Round 1

      By Growl · Posted

      fans view “box safety” with the same disdain they have when they hear “game manager” QB.   but there’s a reason most 1st round safeties are “box safeties”-it’s a much longer list of requisite skills to be a good box safety than it is to be a guy whose only real responsibility is to not get beat over the top. Fans crave the ed reed type and as someone who has never been able to enjoy this franchise having a guy like that, I get the enthusiasm-but I’m not really prepared to spend a first round pick on a free safety. If it happens it’ll be fun, it’ll address a need with a good player and that’s well and good. But those guys end up walking after their first contract because their pedigree usually outpaces what their teams feel like they’re adding to their overall win total.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By Basbear · Posted

      Its criminal that the upcoming season is mainly in the tiny hands of BY.  I still member the time I did a full turn, if you member his first off-season from that Panthers all-time worst team....... Answering questions at his first presser, he goes along the lines " I didn't do nothing, no weight room or throwing" " I needed to get away". I was fully out with him, the guy didn't even try to improve his football mind, body, strength, in the biggest joke of panther football. I could not believe it, what a leader or dare say "point guard"(lols @ NBA point guards as a ref)

      I view FS almost as the NT of the secondary. Oftentimes the true measure of his impact isn't necessarily in the plays that he makes but what he allows you to do with the rest of your defense to allow them to make plays. When you have that elite true sideline to sideline FS safety blanket over the top of the defense it allows you to be a lot more aggressive with everyone else. Where as when you have a Nick Scott as your last line of defense you gotta be mindful to not have to rely too heavily on that.
