Why Auburn Will Be Even Better in 2024, Auburn DL Jayson Jones Joins The Show

On today's show, we're joined by Auburn defensive lineman Jayson Jones as we talk with him about his offseason, and expectations for the Auburn Tigers in 2024? Jones talks about the new defensive coordinator in DJ Durkin and how he can be a difference-maker on the Plains this year as he brings a more aggressive mindset, combined with more depth on defense.
Jones also talks about the Auburn offense and how they improved throughout the spring, with the guys playing more "together" when it comes to the receivers and weapons with the quarterbacks including Payton Thorne. Jones also gives his thoughts on Hugh Freeze as a head coach and what he likes about him.
We also get Jones' thoughts on how the schedule shapes up for Auburn in 2024, and what the mentality is with the team heading into a new season.

Great show. Jayson Jones has a bright future in everything he does. WDE

[@LockedOnSEC]

Love getting to interview these guys and getting to know them. So many guys we have had on the show go on to have success in the NFL, and you can see why

[@Joe-d3t1t]

Agreed. Impressive guy

[@DrexelKilpatrick]

jayson is a very good football player and a great dude...war eagle

[@brendabunnell2790]

Jayson I hope you have a great senior year !! War Eagle !! 🦅🧡💙

I got Auburn beating Georgia this year. I think auburn has the personnel to do that. I also think huge freeze and his gimmick offense will expose the lack of experience Georgia has in their secondary.

[@iggrigs]

As an absolute bAUrner, I think we beat Alabama or Georgia this year. Or we could have business as usual and go 0-2. I will be surprised either way!

[@darnellrtr252]

@@iggrigs yep I could see that I can’t say what bama will do until I see our new defense. I say yall beat Georgia though if not this year then it probably won’t happen unless Auburn gets juju Lewis

[@dancetoimpress]

How is Freeze's offense a "Gimmick"? He typically runs the ball out of 12 personnel and incorporates RPO's quite often in the passing game. Seems to be a pretty standard offense in today's college football.

[@darnellrtr252]

@@dancetoimpress I don’t mean gimmick in a negative way. But freeze has done unorthodox things to create an advantage. Most coaches do our new coach Deboer has some gimmicks and concepts up his sleeves too. Freeze will go so far as to running goal line formations on the 50 yard line crap like that.

[@darnellrtr252]

@@dancetoimpress a gimmick is an unorthodox way of tricking the defense basically.

[@Joe-d3t1t]

Jayson will be a very good coach one day.

[@ZachBoone-zg6wy]

I got auburn at 11 - 1 this season i think the offence shows out this year and the defense will be the bend dont break and create turnoversand we got 8 home games and i think we go undefeated at home and 3-1 on the road

[@dbutler5758]

Would like to see J.J. come back as a grad assistant to help lead the DL.

[@reed1511]

Seems like a good dude

[@JustinMyrick-i3d]

Bama could be beaten by Auburn this year. If they do then i will still support BOTH Auburn and Alabama

What 6 and 5 and get beat by New Mexico St again. Freeze can promise his players a call girl if he goes 6-7 this year he is good at calling call girls.

[@MrSlyguy26]

It hurt my head to read this.

[@bryanhollis5818]

I hate it Jayson you ruined your career when you chose Auburn over Bama. God bless you have a great career at catching chickens with that chicken catching degree from Auburn

Imagine thinking a Bama degree holds more weight than an Auburn degree 😂 🤡

​@@johncastleberry3719 I legitimately don't know where they get that from. It's baffling.
