Justius Lowe Impressing Coaches ALREADY
idontrollonshobbas replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I heard Joey on a Portland radio show say that he needed route running and blocking technique work. Just speculation but I think Thornton may have been concerned about being passed on the depth chart next year by Lowe. -
Could be worse...I have the Holiday Bowl recorded on DVR. In the old days if the power went down the Betamax went with it and the game would be gone forever!

I am on Day 5 of a power outage. No heat or hot water. Wifey is getting snarly. My relief is to go out to the truck, fire it up to blast the heat and charge the phone, then as soon as it will turn on I log in to FishDuck. Still haven't seen the bowl game. But I am current on all things OBD! Thanks, Charles....you are the wind beneath my wings.

I would agree but there are 2 mitigating factors: Bo's injury and the roster from a prior coach

Justin Herbert/Chargers Are Going to the Playoffs!
idontrollonshobbas replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Boy, the Bolts need help at offensive line.....no running lanes inside the tackles and on passing downs, Herbert was getting pressured relentlessly from the left side in particular. -
Sorry, Charles. I only posted it because I was able to read it without an Athletic subscription so I assumed that it wasn't paywalled....perhaps because it is nearly a week old now? In any event, I am unable to delete it at this point, or I would. My intentions were to follow protocol, so I beg forgiveness. A summary follows in case others are unable to access the article. Wasserman lists the Oregon signing day flips and last minute 5-star signings as an indication that Oregon is efforting to stay in the major leagues of college football, namely the NCAA blue bloods. He cites Phil Knight's wealth as the main reason for this ability and likens our class to last year's Texas A&M class. The schools we are afflicting include: Georgia, USC, Baylor, LSU, Texas, tOSU, Notre Dame, etc. He further suggests that Dan Lanning's SEC experience provides him with the insight into what it takes to have a championship roster and he is using Oregon's (read: Phil Knight) resources to try and cultivate a championship team quickly.....following the path of the aforementioned Universities. Hence, the scorn of the elites

Miami or Oregon: Would You Rather...
idontrollonshobbas replied to Ktmguy2018's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Miami has always had the natural recruiting advantages of Florida. FSU and UF as well of course. Between them in 20 years they have 4 championships. Impressive. But, those teams had Bowden, Meyer and Coker as coaches. Is Mariø a better overall coach than any of those guys? Sure, he can recruit, especially with NIL money, but can he coach at the highest level.....color me skeptical. -
Big Texas defensive lineman? Ummm, yes please! If we get this guy, he may well equal the production of our other notable defensive end recruits....past and present. As the Lanning/Malchow syndicate overhauls this roster, it is becoming clear how systematic this coaching staff is in roster management. Sometimes with the past regime I felt they would prioritize stars over evaluation for the recruiting buzz and regional bragging rights. But without the cattle, you're just wearing a big hat and you can get exposed. Especially with less than sophisticated schemes and development.

Add the fact that as Charles' article pointed out yesterday, Klemm is one helluva O-line coach who represents an upgrade from Mariø and Mini-me. Rather than straight ahead drive blocking into a stacked box, we now have a stunting scheme with pulling lineman that can augment Bo's read-option fakes and deep balls. Getting defenders back on their heels and guessing will open up lanes for the up the gut pistol runs from our bigger backs who can also pass block for the deep balls. https://forum.fishduck.com/topic/8192-i-admit-i-wasnt-sold-on-adrian-klemm-at-first-but-now-how-about-you/?_rid=147

Scholarship Numbers: How Many Need to Leave?
idontrollonshobbas replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I am shocked that anyone is shocked by Deion's actions. He is the same guy he was 40 years ago. He is the epitome of consistency of character. Primetime, all the time. No room for anything else. -
Scholarship Numbers: How Many Need to Leave?
idontrollonshobbas replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
There is also the "medical redshirt" option which allows players to stay on academic scholarship to finish degree work but not count against the 85 team limit. That is the other option besides transfer portal or simply not renewing the annual scholly. -
Love Some More Justin Herbert Facts?
idontrollonshobbas replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Neil and Chris Miller both got more concussions than most in the NFL -
What Does Oregon Still Need After Early Signing Day ?
idontrollonshobbas replied to 47sgs's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Secondary......most glaring weakness last year and we lose our best players in Gonzo and Williams. I am not sold on Manning. The Bama transfer helps if he gets on the field, but we are still shy at least 2 solid role players with him. I am hoping that the front 7 emerges from the plethora of D linemen we now have plus the Brown/Taggart/Harrison/Bassa LB's. But the backend needs buttressing.....no pun intended. -
Oregon Has Moved UP in Portal Transfer Rankings
idontrollonshobbas replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Klemm has gotten the job done despite limited high quality West Coast O line recruits these past 2 years as well. -
File this under "Things that make you go....hunh!?!"

Nice get. This staff is working it! Confirmed on Ducks Wire Oregon Recruiting: 4-star OL Georgia Silva signs with the Ducks DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM His name may not draw the same buzz as a Kadyn Proctor or Ajani Cornelius on the recruiting trail, but the Oregon Ducks just got one of the best available offensive linemen in this 2023 class. 4-st…

It's Official - Dante Moore Flipped to UCLA
idontrollonshobbas replied to HawaiiDuck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Yep.....with Bo back, use his NLI dough for Proctor and Hicks. In the portal era, taking a HS QB seems like a gamble unless he is the next Herbert/Mahomes and you don't have a potential Heisman candidate in uniform. Maybe Phil can convince the Uiagalelei bros. to sign on?
