Just Ducky

Bo will be Bo but I will take that. We we all know he will not be facing SEC defenses in the pack. Against Georgia, the best defense in the land, he had 2 picks in three games. His teams rushed for less than 50 yards in 2 of the 3. In the 3rd Bo was their leading rusher. Guess my my point is bo was playing on a team with allot of weaknesses and he was forced to carry the load while running for his life. Picks were inevitable. Bo will have some bumps along the way as will the entire team. But the Ducks offer him more weapons, a coach he knows from his best year, and a defense that should give him easier opportunities than at Auburn. Game 1 will be a rough one but he and his coaches know Georgia as well as anyone so if he is the competitor I think he is he will be up to the challenge. As far as the number of picks goes 5 is acceptable 10 if they win every game

The only thing I can see is a huge improvement over our last few years. The smoke blown up our butts about MC and his ground and pound idea of what an offensive line should look like was a huge disappointment for all of us. The Ducks have had many great offensive lines in the past and under the new regime I believe it will be good again. I’ve been a Pittsburgh fan since grade school and they have had some great offensive lines but last year they were pretty bad. I’m hoping it was a talent problem more than a coaching issue. They did loose some studs however. Hard to replace one of the best centers ever in the NFL.

I to like a conservative approach. There are hundreds of examples of money not buying the best team. Although the QB is the most important player on the team because he is the one starting every play and making the correct decision on the direction of the play. After the ball is snapped the importance of keeping him upright and having open receivers to get the ball to becomes critical. If your defense can’t stop the other team from scoring then your 5 star million dollar guy may not be the answer. Not sure we will see Nick or Kirby in a bidding war for one player. My point is you can’t put all the eggs in one basket. Our National champions every year are all examples of a well rounded teams. That recipe for success is the one I would use.

If the bats stay hot the ducks should come through with no problems unless they run out of arms.

Not sure we need this guy unless he is a down to the earth kid. We have five stars on the roster now and I am not sure how impressed I am. MC held one back and we may never see Ty take a meaningful snap as a Duck because of his pathetic all about me style of coaching. Not sure why Ty has hung around unless he knows he was overrated. And maybe nobody has dialed his number.

Looks like hitting practice fo the Ducks. Needed a little confidence boost.

It’s a great business plan for sure.

When your first 3 hitters get one hit and score no runs, well that is not a recipe for success.

Remember Penn State.

We should have an over/under on how many players, including himself, he knocks senseless or out during the season. My guess is 7.

It’s uncanny how Payton seems to always be in the correct place for rebounds. Because of his size he is at a distinct disadvantage but seems to overcome it time after time. He definitely goes 100% every second he is on the floor and never gets tired. Going to be a great player off the bench for a long time.

Bo has beat Bama but not Georgia ...... YET

Bo stats are against SEC defenses so it’s pretty hard to compare him with AB. The eye test was pretty bad when evaluating AB. Guy couldn’t hit the side of a barn at times and his throws were almost always late. He was extremely slow to make his reads for sure.

I think we pretty much all agree with you Josh. This element is a huge advantage in college football. I think our new staff realizes his talent and will make sure Seven gets his chances to display that ability. Best thing that could of happened for Seven was when MC walked out the door, thank god. You can’t coach speed and quickness and he seems to have both. Must of been frustrating to have talent only to use it keeping the bench warm.

Got to have something to do with money. Oh wait it does. Absolutely no reason to burn pitchers arms up at the end of a grueling season. Most of the guys that dream this crap up never played sports past the 9th grade. The Ducks would have a huge turnout compared to Louisville. Seems crazy for sure.

I agree hobbas, never was I impressed with MC’s o line. Plus the play rarely went with the blocking scheme. Dye was good at improvising to get most of his yards. I hope Klemm nfl experience will help these young men develop beyond high school ability.

Don’t want to be here then don’t waste the coaches energy. Thank you.

Does your family love Eugene?

I don’t think the pressure is on the Ducks either. Dan is not expected to win this game but there is little doubt that they have the ability and talent to do so. If the players will buy in, which I think is already a fact, and execute like the studs they are then there is little doubt to me they will cover the spread. The key will be is to win the turnover battle and if they do that they will not only cover but win this game. go s

My favorite Duck back. That was a truly great game by a great college back. The hit he took up at WSU, cheap shot I might ad, set his career back but this guy had the perfect body type and speed for college football. By the way the O line and receivers blocked their arses off in that one. Thanks Smith for the flashback.

Truly a great college running back. The Ducks have had many. Bobby Moore Royce Freeman Kenyon Barner Johnathan Stewart DAT I’m sure I've left out a few. Bring back the ground attack, makes passing so much easier. Thanks for the flashback Smith.

Bob Knight did similar stuff almost every game or practice and managed to survive a long time. My favorite was the chair toss, excellent form.

This is just one event but there are many times that Duck players got stupid penalties during games and some after the whistle. Just ads to the evidence that the culture at Oregon was not as good as MC seemed to pretend it was. Can’t see him changing anytime soon. Man was not loyal to his players or the parents he made promises to. DL is already miles ahead to me in that department.

They absolutely should considering the money they have spent on the nil and portal not to mention Riley’s contract. Not sure if they have ever spent more.

The best receivers in football aren’t worth much when their QB is on his backside.
