Coach Eric Boles

I guess everyone that didn’t win would be a runner up. But being a finalist for the award doesn’t really point to poor or mediocre o-line play lol. That was my only point about the award though.

I also can’t say that the last staff’s tactics were poor. The O-line was the runner up for the Moore Award. I just lean more into Klemm’s ideas on the matter.

I just so happen to be a Philadelphia Eagles fan. Hopefully he cracks the WR rotation, but we’re also in need of an upgrade in the return game. So he could definitely contribute there.

Man, there’s nothing wrong with wearing the green and yellow glasses! Nothing wrong with a little bit of optimism, and I think yours is justified.

It’s going to be a good offense. I’ve got the feeling lol.

I think it’s going to be a hell of an offense. I used to love watching Norvell run it at ASU. The Malzahn offensive family has been my favorite style for a long time.

Can’t wait for the spring game!

Oregon Ducks Football Offensive Line Coach Adrian Klemm Shares Vision for His Group - Sports Illustrated Oregon Ducks News, Analysis and More WWW.SI.COM Klemm broke down his vision for his experienced group earlier this week Like Coach Klemm states, there is nothing wrong with the rotation and swing positions that the previous staff favored, but I’m more on-board with Klemm’s strategy. An O-line with minimal rotation and players consistently in the same position is advantageous for all of the reasons Coach Klemm points out.

Oregon Football: What to watch for on offense this spring AUTZENZOO.COM Spring is here and this is what Oregon football fans should be watching for on the offensive side of the ball in... Hey, everyone! For those of you who don’t know, I’ve recently started writing for Autzen Zoo for FanSided. Charles has been gracious enough to let me post my new articles on the board, and this is the first one. I’m going to keep visiting the forum to chat ball with you guys too!

I have no doubt that we’ll se backs with great vision. Coach Locklyn is going to have them ready. But I don’t think we’ll see many backs like James and Barner, just because Dillingham’s system has traditionally used bigger backs.

I could see it every down but it’d have to be pretty varied. Like Oklahoma in 2013. Or Michigan this past season. Michigan’s offense was pretty effective with it. I can see why Coach Cristobal decided to hired Gattis at Miami.

Jon, I’m not sure what we’ll see out of the spring game. But I’d rather see more out of the offense. It’s cool to “hide” things from your opponent but I think practicing your offense in live game situations really help. And I do have to ask, what inserts? Everything I see in the article is stuff I put in it lol.

Yeah, he definitely took the cutback there. Also, there are a ton of of RPOs in the system. Coach Moorhead has some cool RPOs out of the pistol in 2020 but they seemed to all go away in 2021.

The version that Dillingham uses puts the RB a yard closer. Again, I know that doesn’t sound like much, but things do hit a little quicker.

It’s looking like you won’t have much to worry about then!

Yeah, the pistol definitely makes it harder to decide which way the run is going. Other coaches that use the shotgun will counter this by using same side runs. For example there’s the regular inside zone where the RB crosses the QBs face and the OL is also blocking in that direction, and then there’s the same side IZ where the OL blocks in the direction of the RBs alignment and the RB doesn’t cross the QB. And it is very similar to what Mastro brought from Nevada. The overall alignment is the same, but the depths are different. Dillingham has his QB at 5 yards and the RB 2 yards behind him. At Oregon, with Mastro, the QB was also at 5 yards but the RB was 3 yards behind him. That’s actually even different from how Nevada did it when Mastro was there. They were a 4 yard QB depth and the RB was 4 more yards behind that.

I’m not so sure that the inability of his playmakers to get open at FSU was the cause of the offense’s moments of inconsistency.

USC being good is not a bad thing at all. I would rather have the rest of a good USC team, a good Utah team every year. I think that’s important.

I haven’t studied the Bills offense but it does seem similar!

I only remember that happening in a couple of the games. And the one that stands out is Nebraska. I guess that’s ok when you’ve already scored 42 in the first half lol.

I think this is something I’m going to dive into before long. He used the same line about a fast pro-style while at FSU.

Right, I’m really excited for Coach Dillingham’s offense but I always wondered why they threw out Taggart’s playbook when he left.

I don’t think I’ve ever brought this up with you guys but I think the best Oregon offense I’ve seen was the one that Willie Taggart ran in his single season with Oregon. One of the things I always wondered about the Coach Cristobal era is why they didn’t keep the offense they were already running, especially because when Herbert was healthy, it looked almost unstoppable. Of course the answer is that he and Arroyo had a different preference. Perhaps if they had been under Coach Taggart for a couple years, they would have.

I do really like the idea of the TE being used in multiple positions. It will allow the offense to get into different looks without having to sub.

I’d also say that if you run into an offense with giant linemen that can run in space and a giant RB that can play in space, and they’re play their assignments near perfection, not many defenses are stopping that.
