Interesting article and it is great to see there are so many openings that could fit for Marcus. I do not know the OCs well enough to know who would alter their offense to fit Marcus the way Gruden did...or make Mariota fit theirs?

Another CHL Highlight remembered by Oregon fans...

She is becoming quite a team player right off the bat and boy...imagine how different the games the women lost if THIS force had been available?

He has been activated off the Injured Reserve list for Tampa Bay and can be activated to play, although I doubt we see him today. His number with the Bucs is No. 44, and this article below tells us more...

All the time you take to study and pass along your analysis is so appreciated. So like a great run-defender and pull him out on 3rd and long...

Great news and THANKS for passing that along 30Duck!

Losing to the Beavers in football and basketball? It makes me ill...

Hello to you and a big WELCOME to you and everyone beginning to post. Let's have fun with this...

I thought JHop on ScoopDuck reported that Alabama is full; they have 25 signed right now, and have another verbal to sign in February? I do not know how they do that as the limit is 25....

To delve into the fine points of the Coach DeRuyter defense later, you first have to start with the basics and this article is a superb foundation piece to all the articles coming later. What I love is how easy Coach Boles makes it to learn this, and we will have a section devoted to the DeRuyter defense in the Analysis Library in our sister site, FishDuck. Popo Aumavae will enjoy this new defense--I'm certain! (Is that the coolest picture ever of Popo about to make the big sack at the end of the 2019 Washington game? The timing by photographer Tom Corno was superb...)

I cannot imagine a more perfect book for you 30Duck..unless it was only about Ronnie Lee! Ronnie Lee flying over Bill Walton....how cool is that?

And there just might be an article about Cardwell on Monday!

Well, on two of the subscription sites the belief is that it comes down to Ohio State and Oregon with the Buckeyes having the edge at the moment. But you are right in that this last hire might be a "deal-maker" for a defensive tackle like JTT.

What a shame, and it is too late for him to learn safety, as he could have been a great SS or OLB, IMHO. We don't beat Washington last year without him!

Dale makes a good point in the article in that a 3-4 needs a big Nose Tackle, and those are hard to recruit as everybody wants them. Yet I am not so sure about the 4-3 because we had pretty good defenses in the 3-4 with a 270 lb. NT in the past.... And tomorrow we get a short primer on what DeRuyter has done from Coach Boles. And I guess it is pronounced, "DeeRooter" and not "DeeRighter" from what I heard on YouTube...

THAT, is a very good observation and I did not think of it. Paopao is just a freshman, and experienced players like Boley and Mikesell have not always been at the top of their games and Sabally doesn't appear to be the "leader" type, (nor Chavez) and Shelly doesn't play enough to justify being the leader. Could it end up being Prince?

Perhaps it was the only way to get him to agree to leave now, instead of a year and a half from now? Effectively it was severance pay?

"I actually hope they each get beat out for significant playing time this year." You have the best "Handle" or Posting Name ever on the forum? We love it... I am glad they are back because we need that experience at the beginning of the season, but I too hope the new young-guns coming in break into their playing time.

Eugene Omoruyi must have a great game to win! No Duarte is a killer...

"The Ducks under DeRuyter will likely run a base 3-4, but their secondary depth in the pass-happy Pac-12 means they have the flexibility to rely on the nickel package with sophomore Jamal Hill when needed." Above is a tidbit from an Athletic article by Gerald Alexander where he interviewed former players under Coach DeRuyter, yet people disagree... On Sunday, Coach Eric Boles of FishDuck will give us more information and his take on whether we see the 4-3 or the 3-4!
