  1. Stats are kind of a funny thing, is the run defense that good or is it that no one bothers running the ball because the past defense is that bad.
  2. Love the O such an improvement over the past 4 years but Dilly is still learning. As much as I wanted TDs in the red zone the field goals kept the the ducks in the game, Lewis is looking good this year! The D is very susceptible to the pass not sure what needs to change personnel scheme or both. I've been hard on Bridges good to see him fight for the INT, William seems to be all over the place and Addison stepped up a little this game not sure where Steven is. My preference for DB would be Gonzalez and Manning at CB, Williams at nickel, Bridges and Addison at safety. After watching the USC game and seeing Gentry (a 6'6 skinny at LB) be very disruptive on passing downs maybe Bridges and Bassa at LB on third and long? Let's get creative on D. Really love Bridges intensity, tackling and effort and think he could be a really great piece of our defense just seems like he's a little out of place.
  3. Bucky showed glimpses of his talent early this year and now is coming into his own. How about that really tough catch he made over the middle with two defenders on him! Travis who.
  4. Ideally I'd like USC to stay undefeated until they play Utah and Utah to stay at one loss until they play Oregon. That being said I would be fine with USC losing every game on the way out.
  5. Ashford, James and Williams are looking pretty good so far. I always like Ashford as having a a lot of potential he a gamer. Also really like James always solid in coverage wish he was still at Oregon.
  6. I disagree, streamers have had very limited options for the most no part till recently, if games where on prime, a service I already pay for, I watch a lot more games. Most streaming services also let you watch games on demand years after they aired, just rewatched the tOSU game a few weeks ago. I'm not paying for sling as I might as well just get Dish Network at that price.
  7. Nice call he took on two defenders making that play happen. I like Noah on the edge he can pressure the quarterback set the edge as he is plenty big and he's fast enough to roll out in the flats for a quick pass or defending his side of the field against the run. Versus passing teams this is where we may see him play as there's better LB's in coverage.
  8. Yes please Just think of the amount of recruits east of the Mississippi that would actually get to see the game. Right now they can't watch it if they want to unless it's a big game on Fox or ESPN. The Pac12 network deal has been more detrimental to the pac-12 than just about anything considering it's not available on cable and only Dish Network in most the country.
  9. DB's are going to be critical, Bridges just doesn't seam to have the quickness and change of direction that a DB needs. I think it's time to put Manning in and move Bridges to safety as he has good instincts. Manning had his own faults but I think consistent playing time would do wonders for him. Bassa should start this game regardless if Flowe is healthy he just better in coverage.
  10. Brown and Bassa are just better in coverage than Flowe and Sewell. Teams are getting the passes off fast not giving time for Sewell and Flowe to get home and both of them seam to be a liability in pass coverage. I'm starting to think Sewell would be better on the edge where he can just pin his ears back and get after the QB or fall into the flats on pass coverage.
  11. Game management is looking like really plus for this staff. It's good to see all the little things are being taken care of, plays getting in early, no stupid timeouts, good use of the clock. These are the things that can make or brake a close game and unlike the last few years Lanning is on top of it.
  12. Brown looked good in coverage and Funa is getting better at it. Bassa is by far the best in pass coverage and I love the way he is being used to cover RB's any TE's. as a former safety he has the speed and discipline to be in the right place at the right time. Just neededs to make the tackle which he did well tonight. Bridges is just to a little too slow to stop the curl route and doesn't seam to change direction well. He is 6'4" and seems more like a natural safety as he's better coming down hill and zone.
  13. Always felt those little guys (250 bl.) got pushed around by the tackles or TEs on running plays but the future is in the air.
  14. As someone who cut the cord 10 years ago I look forward to as many of these games going to streaming services as possible. I don't pay $140 bucks a month for the Dish Network package that includes the pac-12 network and the DVR. I pay $135 a year for Amazon prime for my business which conveniently comes with music and video and now live streamed sporting events. Add on the Disney bundle with the ESPN for another $130 or so a year and between that and the new digital bunny ears I can watch just about everything you can with $140 a month Dish Network plan. Always hated the NFL Network just another thing I needed to buy just to watch a few football games a year.
  15. Those two moved amazingly fast for such big guys. Seems like teams are going for smaller faster guys nowadays. Buckner, Armstead and Jordan were all quite a bit heavier than Thibs or even DJ, they could really set an edge in the run game and get after the passer.
  16. I think it has a little bit more to do with an embarrassment of riches so many wide receivers with talent. Competing with Kris Hudson who was one of the bright points of last year's team and made a lot of tough catches on third down. Seven is elusive after the catch and has great speed but can he make the tough catch?
  17. I want to see the D look cohesive with LB flying to the ball and putting pressure on the QB with creative blitzes. DB's playing close to the line with Safety's providing over the top protection and LBs jumping the inside routes. From the O I would like to see Bo not stare down the receiver he's about to throw the ball too. Take care of the ball and continue to be creative.
  18. Amazon prime has 153 million subscribers in the US That's a whole lot of potential eyeballs. Most games in the pac-12 can only be watched by someone with Dish Network(outside of the West Coast) which is dying faster than most cable companies. Amazon prime will help greatly with recruits outside of the West Coast as most kids nowadays have access to prime and will actually be able to watch the game for a change. The pac-12 has been stifled way too long by extremely poor tv coverage. Amazon also won't be hampered by media market size as their more aware of the potential of the Oregon brand on a national stage not just a regional market. Also unlike ESPN and other streaming services they will not be hampered by bandwidth as Amazon owns AWS the biggest cloud provider there is. So you can always expect minimal latency and a smooth picture.
  19. I really appreciate that they game planed to put EW away early. Many teams saw what letting lesser opponent hang around can do. Leave them with no hope after the first quarter just how I like it.
  20. Cardwell looks like a solid every down back. Dollars seams smooth and under control with good vision. Irving feels like once he settles down and starts catching the ball he could be the biggest weapon out of the backfield. Shifty with power and a he keeps his feet turning thru contact. Whittington seams apprehensive. Haasenritter looked like the most elusive back we have, hope to see him play some more.
  21. Other than the QB situation what we learned If Irving learns to catch the ball out of the backfield he could be very dangerous as he has a great center of gravity and seems to ping pong off or run through would be tacklers. He also shows great agility and acceleration. Ferguson is a beast and hope can keep it up against higher levels of competition. Rogers is looking like a Great get at DT always around the ball and in the backfield even against Georgia. Pretty quick for such a big guy! LBs and DB's need to find their rhythm in pass coverage. Quite a few third down coverages that were lacking, if it wasn't for drop passes and erratic throws there would have been a lot more pickups on 3rd down. Seem to me that they were not always on the same page and there was a lot of frantic talking in the backfield presnap. Dilly's offensive approach is a breath of fresh air! Love seeing wheel routes outside runs and screen passes on 3rd and 3 rather than a run up the middle. The good and the bad summed up is that as long as the offense avoids costly mistakes they will be doing just fine. Defense is doing a good job with the run game but really needs improvement in pass coverage from LB's and DB's.
  22. Keep in mind that five teams ranked higher than Miami lost, most of them to unranked teams. The move up in standings isn't so much about Miami and USC as the teams in front of them losing.
