Oregon’s Lanning/Lupoi Fire Zone Blitz
Smith72 replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Thank you Charles for a detailed description of this blitz. I appreciate the diagram and corresponding video. Well done analysis! I also appreciate the last video of Duck history under Coach Aliotti. Coach Nick was ahead of his time, and a true Duck legend! -

Ducks Mid-Season: Tell Us What Surprises You So Far
Smith72 replied to DazeNconfused's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I'm pleasantly surprised by the offense created and called by Coach Dillingham. I had hoped for improved scoring, but all the creative ways Oregon is attacking defenses is very welcome. Keeping a defense guessing and attacking all areas of the field is refreshing! Predictability led to the boring prevent offense we endured. Giving a defense too much to think through leads to confusion and slow reactions. Kudos to Kenny Dillingham! -

What Do You Think of the Pink Theme for UCLA Game?
Smith72 replied to Flaps2's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
I agree cancer awareness is always a good idea. Besides new uniforms have been a positive attraction for Oregon fans across the nation. Recruits from DAT to this year's commits love the styles Oregon is known for! I love it. -

I Need Feedback From FishDuck Friends...How to Approach This?
Smith72 replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
#1"I don't want to see Turnover-Thompson playing anymore." (I did not like having a label like that pinned on a player...but is it that bad?) #2"Please, please, please...Never play Ty Thompson again...Horrible." (This one is referring to player performance, but still makes me uncomfortable) #3"TT is like someone who has an UZI but doesn’t know when to pull the trigger and where to put the bullets." (This one is also referring to player performance, but doesn't it imply intelligence?) I am uncomfortable with all 3 benign examples. #1 is name calling-a derogatory put down of a current Oregon player. #2 is a put down that doesn't talk about a specific football skill in his performance. Such as he threw that pass when the receiver was covered by multiple defenders. His vision of the field needs to improve. #3 uses an analogy without talking about the performance of football in the game. Sole purpose of the analogy is to put down the Oregon player. I would hide all 3 and send an email. -

Ducks’ Offense: Is There a ‘Slim Shady’ Attitude at Oregon?
Smith72 replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Fun, fun, fun! Entertainment for long starved Oregon fans. Surgical and unpleasant for Defensive Coordinators. Kenny Dillingham is a gunslinger. Deadly! The talent Oregon has recruited now has a gifted Coach with a green light to carve up a defense. Kudos to Coach Lanning and his entire staff! In his after game comments he said, "And if we see a wart, we want to go fix it.". No more post game "coach speak" we used to get. Actions speak louder than words! DazeNConfused, your articles never disappoint. Well done sir! -
A week after committing 14 penalties in the win over Stanford, many on the UO offensive line, the Ducks committed just six Saturday — none on the offensive line. "You get what you emphasize, right?" Lanning said. "And if we see a wart, we want to go fix it. That being said, there's a lot of things that we can continue to fix." Proud of the Coaches and Team we have!

Let’s Give Arizona Back to its Original Owners
Smith72 replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Alan, another funny spoof! I've trained myself not to sip coffee while reading. Thanks for all the good humor! Your reference to "bear down" gives new meaning: "But here’s the worst part: while the medics are wheeling the nearly decapitated Golden Bears player off the field, two hoodlums rush out of the stands, and with paint and brush, they scribble onto the turf those two unforgivably offensive words: “BEAR DOWN.” -

Coach Dillingham and Oregon’s New Counter Tunnel Screen
Smith72 replied to FishDuck Article's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Thanks Eric for explaining how this play works. Good job with the details! A good offensive coordinator uses a counter to take advantage of aggressive defensive defenders - especially ones he notices lacking discipline. Coach Dillingham is blowing my mind with a passing constraint play to his running counter! Wow, The Counter Tunnel Screen to the Center Tackle Counter!!! Counters are not used over and over as a base play. However, they are sprung when the defense is set up. The surprise usually results in long plays or touchdowns. Buckle up. I think we're going to see Oregon become an innovative offensive team again! Hip hip hooray! -
+ Along with Brandon Baker! It will be great to get both of these big O linemen.

Thanks for the warning, Darren! Here's hoping the coaching staff prepares the team for a successful "desert war". The continued process of improvement that Coach Lanning emphasizes is important - especially this week.
