Just Ducky

Sorry to see him go, Went thru a lot of turmoil as a Duck. Could this be a sign that Harbor is coming to Eugene?

In answer to your question Charles. It will be extremely difficult to do so. When USC was in their hay day most of the top recruits stayed out west and that doesn’t seem to happen these days. The culture in the football world is much different in the south and along the Mississippi where football is the only thing. It can be done but getting those blue blood lineman and linebackers out of those areas will be a monumental task. Time will tell if DL can do it and it won’t happen over night. First order of business is to consistently dominate the Pack?? Get that accomplished and we may see those studs we need come in bunches instead of one or two every cycle. Watching that game in detail last night was tough with my 4 year old grandson wanting my attention. One thing was clear to me that if the Ducks would have been there instead of TCU the outcome would of been the same. Georgia, even though they had a couple of shaky games this year, is a juggernaut that when they come to play they are as good as advertised on both sides of the ball.

Georgia is on a different planet when they want to kick someone’s ars.

Like this guy as a college QB but not sure he can make it in nfl. Nil money is probably his best option.

More fun than a barrel of monkeys.

Does anyone recognize this beat down?

What happens to a players scholly if he is cut. Just wondering.

Pretty much spot on. I’ve been thinking for some time now that this kind of help you out the door thing has been going on for a bit. No one really knows for sure what goes on behind close doors but I am confident that the players that aren’t buying in have already been explained the situation. Some have probably been urged to step up or leave. Using Noah as an example. Didn’t look like his heart was fully engaged to me buy the way he was playing. The NFL was a logical move rather than transfer out. Actually I am surprised Dorlus is coming back. He seemed to be dogging it in the bowl game in the first half.

Good luck with that Charles.

Disheartening to say the least. He had big trouble getting off blocks this year and I never could understand why. The linebacker Corp looked much better in the bowl game with Noah gone.

No question the guy has top end speed but he is pretty slow out of the blocks. I suppose college track coaches can improve starts with good results. Lewis and Bolt weren’t great starters either but their top end speed was something to behold. As far as football goes it would be nice to see him as a hybrid type linebacker who could either cover tight ends or chase down running QBs such as Williams at sc. Williams would not be able to loose this guy. One thing is for sure you cannot teach this guys athletic skills, speed, and intelligence. Go get him Dan.

Nice article Alex. One glaring issue for me was talent evaluation on the defensive side of the ball. No Question that MarinO recruited star power in our front seven but it obviously didn’t transfer to the field. Outside of Tibs, who wasn’t on the field as much as we would have liked, the production of that group was severely underwhelming. Not sure what happened to Noah but he seemed to regress from his freshman season, he was definitely slower. I caught myself feeling sorry for our DBs having to defend excellent wide receivers while talented QBs stood in the pocket forever, it seemed like, picking them apart. My confidence is high that DL will get the players he needs, which he is already addressing, to turn this defense into one that will be bragging about in years to come. Go🦆🦆🦆s

Amazing how fast he is transforming this team and I feel there is more to come.

Why does it take so long for this group to act? If you keep proposing things why not act on those proposals instead of getting walked on continually.

DL knows what it takes to make a good defense. He has seen it happen up close and personal. I have little doubt that once he weeds out the players that can’t make it happen we will see the best D in the pack spring to life.

Hayward is correct that our defense has been underwhelming since Dye left. Even with all the star power MarinoD brought in we seemed to regress on D and Utah exposed it rather emphatically. I can’t imagine what Johnathan Smith might have done with that talent, he has built a solid D with far less. With the group we have coming in and a talent laden secondary we have in place I expect DL will make this defense quite adequate to contend for at least the pack 1? Championship. The addition of a consistent pass rush, however, is imperative.

Get this kid to chase Caleb Williams around.

That’s probably when Sabin retires 😂

Headline, LA Schools both pull off massive choke job in this seasons bowl games!!

Can you imagine both the la schools playing against Mich., OSU, and the rest playing defense like that. Could be entertainment at its finest. And I agree kick them to the curb now.

Karma is a B..ch. congrats to Tulane.

Totally agree with the first 4 posts and how our linebacker group played and tackled very well. Bodes well for next year. I also thought our corners did an excellent job even though NCs QB was pretty sharp for most of the game. Played well and broke up passes without committing penalties.

Always a good thing to get our veteran leadership back to help the younglings along.

Thanks mcduck I finally saw it after reading the whole article. Me bad🤪

Great top end speed. Wonder what his 200 time is.
