    A lot has to do with recruiting, but there really isn't any evidence of kickers being coached up... not that I can recall. Kicking has been a peeve of mine for some time. Oregon isn't recruiting kickers well, and certainly has not been coaching up well. That why this stinks so much. We need someone like him.

    As long ago as the late 70s I remember fans in the stands saying we need Gus the Mule on the kicking team.

    Feely said that the opportunity to stay close to his father was important. 

    From 247sports.com 

    In this it also says, "Feely, who plans to begin taking classes at ASU starting March 8, will be a preferred walk-on for the Sun Devils with an opportunity to be put on a scholarship starting in the spring of 2022." So it sounds as if a scholarship is not definite.

    So, just what does a Director of Player Development actually do ??  Are we talking physical development, academic development, football knowledge development ??

    What is it I'm missing here ??

    And another job description is: Responsibilities: "The primary functions of this position include serve as academic liaison with the Office of Athletics Student Services; develop and implement a progressive life skills program in conjunction with Athletics Student Services; assist with orientation, admissions and housing process..."

  4. "Lucky for Herbert, in being drafted at No. 6, he went to the Chargers and not the Bengals. The Chargers are the better team and organization, as well as his childhood dream team." I think this is important. The team picking No. 1, after, is always the team with the worst record. And really, a player in the first round is going to get good money, even if he  isn't #1.

    I remember it was predicted that Joey Harrington would go 10th in the draft, but instead when 3rd to the Lions. I don't remember who the tenth team was, but I'll bet Joey would probably have had a better start to his career there.

  5. The SEC puffs itself up with fans from all schools in the conference chanting, "SEC, SEC," and promoting their view that every team in the conference is good to great, so that a win against another SEC team supposedly has more value than teams in other conferences beating their own conference foes, with which the "committee" goes along when putting out the rankings during the season. (Yes, it's a long sentence, but I did use punctuation, so I hope it's readable. 🙂 )

    The most important issue is not how many people are vaccinated, but rather how much is the virus spreading. If COVID is not spreading any worse than the flu, (and we never kept anyone out during flu season), then why require proof of vaccination??

    I believe that COVID has killed about 10 times as many people as the flu usually does in a year, so that would be one good reason to require proof of vaccination IMHO.

     

  7. It's been over for two days, but one thing I would ask Cristobal if I could, very politely, is what was behind his decisions as to when to put in Shough and when to play Anthony Brown. It didn't seem to be switching quarters or even series, but, to my non-coaching eye, rather random. He may very well have had good reasons for when each played, but I'd love to know what those reasons were.

    I believe that Gruden will have him on the field Sunday, and I think he'll play well and some other teams will be interested. The Rams, with Goff injured, are going this weekend with an undrafted quarterback, Washington is in dire need of one. FWIW, Marcus is the highest paid back up, and I believe a lot of teams will be interested this offseason. 

    That would be fun, to have 2 Duck QBs playing in LA. 🙂
