Wow, Kenny Irons [Archive]

This guy is a butt.

Before the game, Auburn tailback Kenny Irons downplayed his battle with Arkansas tailback Darren McFadden, as the SEC's two top rushers.

Irons carried 15 times for 75 yards. He caught two passes for 21 yards. He did not score a touchdown.

McFadden carried 28 times for 145 yards, including a 63-yard touchdown run. He did not catch a pass. Arkansas won 27-10.

Before the game, Irons was the SEC's leading rusher. Now McFadden is.

Did McFadden prove anything to Irons?

"He didn't prove anything," Irons said. "He's a running back. He ran the ball. That's what he's supposed to do. That's his job. He didn't prove anything."

Arkansas tailback Felix Jones also outran Irons, with 13 carries for 104 yards and one TD, but the Auburn senior sounded unimpressed by the Hogs.

Irons said it was difficult "knowing you lost to a team that's not that great. It's not LSU. It's not Florida. It's not Georgia. It just shows, in the SEC, you can lose to anybody."http://www.arsnonline.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=3444

Yeah, Irons has a big mouth. He was hit by Jasper "Blaster" Brinkley, our MLB and probably one of the baddest dudes on our D and Irons made a comment that Brinkley needs to work-out or something...blah..blah...blah.. Brinkely stopped Irons TWICE at the goal-line that had to be reviewed both times to be certain he made it. He gained about 118 yards... not exactly Heisman quality against a defense that has 10 new starters. I thought McFadden would out-show him and he did, so did Jones. It's time for Irons to just shut up and try to play better. :thumbsdow

Sounds like a few sour grapes to me. After Saturday, there shouldn't be any doubt in anybody's mind who the best back in the SEC is. Ever since Darren blew through the UGA d for a 70-yard score - two weeks after driving Roman Harper into the dirt en route to a 70-yard score - as a freshman I've thought he was this conference's best back. Age doesn't matter, see Sidney Rice. Darren's done nothing to lose that honor this season in my eyes and now that he's healthy, I expect some huge things from him in the coming weeks.

I am a little surprised Irons reacted that way. Most of the quotes I've seen from Auburn players and coaches admit they were physically dominated from start to finish. I must admit, I lost some respect for Irons after reading that.

.... after i say this, he will catch 12 balls for 200 yards and 3 tds against florida. :unsure:

I sure hope you're right. The bright side of this may be that Rice won't go in the first round and we'll get to keep him another year. I truly believe Rice got hurt cause we don't have an OL that can give him time to out-maneuver the defense.

We aren't about to run him on slant routes like McKinley 'cause of the risk of injury. He needs time to run his routes and we need a passer that can routinely place the ball at a certain spot on the field. SN hasn't been QB long enough to learn that aspect IMO. But I think you'll see a much improved offense and a more engaged S. Rice toward the end of the season. No one wants to get Rice into the game any more than Spurrier...except, of course, Rice.

i think that irons attitude runs in the family. david irons reminds me of fred smoot....lots of talk, very little action.

if irons thinks he is better than mcfadden, he is fing crazy. mcfadden is the best back in the "NATION", hands down. show me another guy with his size, speed, and vision and i will show you a future nfl mvp(not to mention he is a sophomore). any way we can get him out of here after this year?

i wish uf had that sob.....we would be unstoppable.

btw, speaking of sidney rice, that is a sophomore slump at its best. he scored all of his td's against wofford and hasnt made a game changing play yet. after i say this, he will catch 12 balls for 200 yards and 3 tds against florida. :unsure:

Haha, very true. Rice is absolutely awesome, though I do really like ya'lls receivers too. Hey, is Andre Caldwell Reche's little brother? I'd assume so, but I dunno.

Oh, and I'm glad to see you say that about Darren. I pretty much feel that way too, though you'd hear no complaints from me about naming Peterson the best. But McFadden does possess such a rare combination of size and speed. If he stays healthy, he'll be a big-time NFL back. And don't worry, he'll be gone after his third season.

I wouldn't worry about Rice, he'll make plays when you need him too. The good thing is that McKinley has emerged as a great threat, too. Now, the Cocks have one elite WR and another guy who's a potential game-breaker. I really like those two.

the more newton scrambles, the more big plays rice should see. you cant cover a guy like that forever and he is most dangerous down the field in 1-1 situations. he isnt a "bubble screen" type of guy.

i think it is a situation where most teams arent respecting the "complementary" receivers and rbs that usc has and focusing on stopping rice. it has worked some and bit them in the ass some.

believe me, i have seen first hand how good this guy is. it isnt a lack of talent, and spurrier(in anybody) will find ways to get him the ball.

yeah, reche's little bro. #1 rec out of high school....4.3...hope he comes back next year. he broke alabama's safeties ankle on that run a couple last week and is starting to look like his old self. gh said he outran harvin by a couple of steps in camp.....harvin and caldwell=nightmare for defenses next year.

the difference in mcfadden and peterson, imo, is mcfadden can take over a game in the 1st or 2nd qtr....peterson usually does his damage in the 2nd half. dont get me wrong, they are 1 and 1a.....not much difference except i think mcfadden has a step or 2 on peterson.

I guess you guys haven't kept up with Auburn very well...

Kenny does not have a big mouth. In fact, he is VERY humble and soft spoken. His brother, David, is a cocky asshole. Maybe you have them mixed up. Kenny really didn't say anything out of the ordinary after a frustrating loss. Any player would have said those things.

"knowing you lost to a team that's not that great. It's not LSU. It's not Florida. It's not Georgia. It just shows, in the SEC, you can lose to anybody."

^^Is that not the TRUTH?? I mean come on, sorry that comment hurt your feelings. But if you think he is a 'butt' for saying it, then you're just afraid of the truth.

'Not that great' was a poor choice of words, but if you pull your head out of you butt and actually read the whole quote, it's easy to understand his intentions. Kenny and David are not the most 'intelligent' of human beings, but at least only one of them is a true ass.

call me crazy, but a quote is a quote.

It's a quote OUT OF CONTEXT. Now quit trying to make Kenny out to be the bad guy. He said a few things under frustration that aren't even that big of a deal. You act like he refused to admit that Auburn lost and waved around a 2004 National Champs sign that said 'arkansas blows' on the back :lol:

honestly, i have thought for a while that irons has been classy about the whole usce thing. it would of been easy for him patronize usce for not starting him and letting him go after being the sec's leading rusher.

he said what he said, right or wrong, it came across as bad. im not saying he has no class(his brother could learn..and his dad), but i think his frustration got the best of him.

Auburn has SMALL linebackers.

I see a forecast of Tebow, Tebow, and a 100% chance of Tebow.

Auburn is a wounded animal, which is always dangerous. The game WILL be close. I'm just not so sure we have the weapons on defense to beat you guys. Muschamp is gonna have to watch loads of film and pull something out of his ass to stop that spread. And COX is going to have to play like he can and quit screwing around, or he can hitchike his ass out of Auburn.

i said long ago that au would get tired of hitting big rbs all game. herring is a safety and it has shown all year. has he had a tfl all year??....seems he is always playing 5-7 yards off the ball due to being pushed and i have voiced my opinion about cox all year(not good, btw).

as far as uf/au, im extremely worried about this game. you guys match up well on the front 7 and fast lbs is what you have to have to defend the spread. not to mention, coming off 2 emotional wins is hard to get up for the 3rd game. tough stretch, even though you guys havent had a cakewalk.

you guys can hate on kenny all you want for what he said. but to see that arkansas is not that great is the truth when they are compared to florida georgia and lsu. I'm sure anyone from UF wouldn't have called MSU a great team after they got beat. Auburn played horribly and Arkansas played a great game. I honestly believe if we played again, it would be a different outcome, but we don't and I credit you for coming to play. As for his comment about McFadden, it was probably made in frustration, but he just said he did what he was supposed to do. He's not going to concede that he is better than him. Besides, had Kenny had 28 carries, I'm pretty sure he would have had similar numbers. By the way, the article even says Kenny downplayed the matchup pre-game, he's not going to give hype mcfadden postgame.

but it seems to me that Irons was just a little hurt after loosing like that and thats why he said what he said. plus loosing his spot at the top of both the SEC and his national title hopes

Kenny Irons is definitely a bit of an ass. Not as big of one as his brother mind you, but still an ass nonetheless.

The problem I see with Auburn isn't Kenny Irons, but Brandon Cox. Auburn has proven time and time again that they are NOT a team that can fall behind and then get back in the game. Their offense is too one dimensional and Brandon Cox is not consistent enough to take the team on his back and lead them to a win. If they fall behind early to UF, UGA, even Alabama, it could be a long second half of the season.

It's not sour grapes AU. If I told you half the things that happened at USC while Irons was there, it would make you sick to your stomach.

The news only reported 1/3 of the stuff he did or how should I say, refused to do.

If anyone is acting like a child here, it's the AU fans complaining because Irons opened his mouth and said somethings that shouldn't have been said and people have commented. Then you wanna jump on everyone because they commented on HIS comments.

That's hypocrisy at it's purest form.

Put your loyalities aside for one single minute and ask yourselves if what Irons did was right or representative of Auburn University?

In a short answer, I know you feel that the answer is "No". The Irons brothers along with Daddy haven't shut up and they have gone out of their way to bring as much negative press to AU as possible. People like that are dispised no matter where their loyalites lie.

AU, you claim sour grapes and that makes you look worse than Jay Bee. That makes you look as though you're an ostrich with his head in the sand. Sour grapes is an EASY yet, useful cop-out for Irons behavior.

But most players either do it
A.) Before the game
B.) After they won the game

Most don't do it after they/their team were owned. Look at Chad Johnson. Last year he kept a list of who was covering him each week and he would trash talk all week leading up to the game. One week he was held to one reception, and in his next interview he gave the guy who covered him lots of credit.

Uh-oh, an Aubie fan talking about reading comprehension (spelled wrong BTW, I'll assume it was a finger slip :happy: ). Might want to be careful there, the last time an Auburn fan started talking about reading comprehension he made a fool of himself, ask Blake.

I read the whole quote, in context. It's sounds as bad on face value as it did in complete context. Sure the guy's upset, but if you're going to be a child who isn't capable of any verbal tact then you need to keep your friggin mouth shut. No comment is better than that comment anyday. Irons ran his mouth and now everybody is having a hayday with it. I really hope he brings that attitude to Bryant Denny this year, Bama's D is know for shutting up cocky kids, ON THE FIELD.

Personally, I really don't care about this mess, but I can understand why some would.

To be honest I don't think our coaches, players, or fans are going to lose much sleep wondering what Kenny Irons thinks about McFadden or our team. Although, I would like to see someone tape this to McFadden's locker room door. Well, on second thought, I wouldn't want him to dislocate another toe.

You are showing your true colors, Neo.

Continue to make rash and assinine generalizations. I actually think it's pretty funny.

Go get em', junior.

if a third of what went on while kenny was at SC, you'd be on probation.

Here we go again. You have no idea as to what went on. I was there! I do know. He's a spoiled rotten little s%^&! :angry:

Tell me that basically promising a recruit the starting job is bull$hit.

See! There ya go talking outta your a$$. Coach Holtz never promised him the starting job. He promised him the first carry of the season against ULAF.

Aside from that, when you have the #1 recruit in the nation, you really don't sit him on the bench when he's outgaining the starter. (Irons 2.1 ypc/Summers 5.7 ypc.)

So he talks, some people are talkers. defending our players isn't a crime, just like you're defending usc.

Talkers? Is that the new excuse for people that can't shut-up or coaches that can't control his players mouths? He could have just said that he was disappointed in his performance and that would have gotten the point across.

Ya know, it's pretty sad when one of your players can talk smack about everyone else in the conference and when people react, you call it "defending him". Look at it. You're defending a sorry POS that can't seem to grasp the concept of keeping his mouth shut.

It would be different if he wasn't so crass with everything that he, his brother and daddy had to say. I'm not defending USC by any means. I'm just telling you that I witnessed a lot of the crap that went on between him and the coaching staff and Irons is FAR from being as innocent as you Aubies and he likes to portray.

If you didn't witness any of what I'm speaking of, then you really shouldn't be commenting about it now should you? :whistle:

Don't you mean hasty generalizations? Anyways, I'm making generalizations by just ready the posts that the Aubies are making.

NOT ONE Aubie has come forward and admitted that what he said was wrong or that he could have kept quiet. NOT ONE!

That tells me and everyone else here what Aubies think. That's not a generalization, it's an observation.

Not one supported what Kenny said either, Neo. You see only what you want to see.

As any true fan would, and as you would with USCE, we back up our team. I see a double standard here.

Point out to me which post? I would love to see it. All I've seen are excuses. (He's a talker, Arky isn't good, He's telling the truth, etc, etc)

Backing up your team is fine, but correcting them when needed is the key. There's nothing wrong with defending your team per say, but you should also condemn behavior that does NOT reflect the beliefs/policies/standards of Auburn University.

Be fair-

K. Irons is a young man in the spot light and full of emotions. He said to much for sure but who hasn't. As for the Auburn posters on this board that day in day out dish out medicine to opposing teams, coaches, and fans....well what is your excuse? Take it like a man/woman.

Remember those % I mentioned prior to this weeks game? And it will happen again it may happen this week, or next year but it will happen, learn to be humble.

I think your obvious dislike for Auburn and it's players here is really coming out.

He talked a little trash. So what? Does it really bother you that much? Your team ins't even involved. So why do you care?

You act like he said something absolutely out of line and as if players have never talked trash before.

Get over it, it's not worth worrying about. We now have a 4 page thread over something so meaningless, when we should be talking football.

I get that from everyone that has a troublemaker/big mouth on their team. Tell me something I don't know.

Because what he does or doesn't do reflects on ALL of us. Ya know? The entire SEC. As for bothering me, you're damn right it bothers me. People like that give us all a bad name and you haven't been here long enough to talk about me. During USC's criminal heyday, I was speaking my mind just as much as I am now. No team is safe when they embarrass the teams, coaches, fans and other players in the SEC.

I'm a big stickler for giving credit where credit is due. Arkansas stomped a mudhole in Auburn's face and then walked it dry. Don't turn around and insult the very team that stole your lunch money in YOUR house. Secondly, this has made the national news. (ESPN)

Get over it, it's not worth worrying about. We now have a 4 page thread over something so meaningless, when we should be talking football.

You Aubies made it this way. You have constantly/consistently defended him and his actions and words. That tells all of us enough about what you all feel. It's very sad to say the least. Win at all costs huh?

ok seriously, this argument/debate has no future. Obviously all different fans' views are biased. Let's move on to week 7 in football. There is lots of big games to talk about this week

Does anyone ever consider that a RB's output is directly proportional to the output of the offensive line? I personally look for elusiveness and YAC when I rate a RB. Don't get me wrong, McFadden is a beast! But nobody has offered up props to his O-line. Hell, Neo could have rushed for 145 behind that line on Sat. :laugh: We miss McNeill who was busy last night schooling Joey Porter in San Diego and is one of 2 rookies starting at left Tackle! He is a big reason for KI's success last season.

I have a buddy who is a big Dolphins fan. He is calling Ronnie a bust, when all he really needs to do is look at that sad sack O-line.

So many people underestimate the importance of the big Uglies.

BTW- I'll give you three guesses what position I played?

Good RBs can make due without a solid OL though. Our O-Line is horrid and Green-Ellis is the leading SEC rusher in total yards (yes Irons would be #1 if he didn't sit out a game, but still) and is averaging 4.7ypc, which is a hair off Irons' 4.8 ypc. It's also well behind McFadden's 5.5ypc.
