Found Dameyune Craig!

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.

    • I like that a lot; Ware from Troy and also Khalil Mack who played at University of Buffalo
    • I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛
    • bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
