Porter was thinking Texas until Sark said, "get your freaking hands off me!" -
Some SC Delusional Humor & More Fun

Williams wasn't available after the game as he was having trouble cleaning the "fricken*#$ TULANE" off of his fingernails. -
Peach Bowl Game Thread: Ohio State vs. Georgia
EastBayDuckDad replied to OregonDucks's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
UGA can't stop tOSU's receivers and they are giving Stroud too much time to find them. The Dogs may have met their match. After that TCU v Michigan semi, I suppose anything is possible. -
Holiday Bowl Snap Counts: A Look Into 2023?
EastBayDuckDad replied to Pennsylvania Duck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
My bad, then. I took it from the Oregonian and they had Brown as the Money (I assumed old middle) LB. -
Holiday Bowl Snap Counts: A Look Into 2023?
EastBayDuckDad replied to Pennsylvania Duck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
It's likely due to the fact they are at different positions in Lupoi/Lanning's defense. Brown (Money LB) and Bassa (Mac LB) are ILBs and Funa (Jack LB) an OLB/Edge so they would all be out there at the same time in the basic D. They were all listed as starters pre-game. -
Holiday Bowl Snap Counts: A Look Into 2023?
EastBayDuckDad replied to Pennsylvania Duck's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
A bit off topic, but Forsythe was replaced by Walk at center when AF's shoulder was reinjured. I saw AF look tentative on several blocks when the offense was sputtering mid game. Walk played some of those snaps at LG but then did a great job at center for the two TD drives late in the game. Kudos to both for their line play this year. They will be missed. -
Some random pontifications and possibly misguided observations: All the static about not liking Oregon except for Nike reflects the bias of someone who has never been here and has a mother pushing another place like Michigan. Tough to tell mama no. If football lands him, football buys his scholly and NIL. His ideal weight for track is around 220#. Effective TE weight around 240# and Edge +250#. He has a choice to make, indeed. He could run track and be a great WR at #220, ala Jordan Kent, but with better speed. I'll bet his high point in the back of the end zone would be somewhere around 11ft. Take that, Stanford! I'm sure someone has looked at lifetime earnings for an Olympic sprinter vs elite NFL wide out/TE/Edge. Both during playing years and after. I'll bet it ain't close. DL and crew must have a pretty good pitch to get him out here so late in the recruitment process and have a role that they want him to fill. I'll trust them to decide on fit, character and potential. And to talk mama into it if that is possible. Mama vs Puddles/Phil/Nike/Hayward/DL? Go Ducks!

Duck Tape: Film Analysis of North Carolina 2022 WWW.ADDICTEDTOQUACK.COM A preview of Oregon’s Holiday Bowl opponent in San Diego Hythloday's entertaining and insightful film breakdown of UNC. Their QB Maye is the real deal. Their defense is a bit of a dumpster fire in both the run and pass game even before the transfers and opt outs. He includes a few clips of UNC defensive successes against Miami. You know what's coming here. They're against straight up A or B gap handoffs to the RB out of the pistol, and delayed drop back passes to the RB or inside WR well short of the 1st down marker.

Justin Herbert/Chargers Are Going to the Playoffs!
EastBayDuckDad replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
JH didn't have his best game, but played well enough to earn his first playoff berth. The Bolt's D was lights out, picking Foles 3 times. -
I think that more than any other issue, the timing of the play calls out of the pistol was the glaring problem under Cristobal. Oregon found itself in third and long way too many times due to the predictably of pistol-run on 1st and 2nd downs. It wasn't talent level either. Witness the quality of the O-line and running backs last year. The QB we all thought was mediocre is now a Baltimore Raven. It worked against tOSU because their DC refused to adjust and Moorhead let it all hang out with passing on early downs. It didn't work against teams (Utah) that knew what was coming because of the plodding power run and when used, the RPO was lots of R and not much P. IMO, the pistol as part of a dynamic true RPO offense with a Bo Nix at the helm is a going to be very different animal than one that pounds it's chest and dares you to stop it when staring at 7 or 8 in the box.

Wish him well. He'll be a good 1-2 RB combination with Ott.

Agreed, Charles. Did Oregon even extend an offer? Between TT and Novosad behind Nix, the QB room is full. If Uiagalelei comes, then likely TT hits the portal. That may be a small net gain, but how much? DJ's play at Clemson has been inconsistent enough to date for him to lose the starting job and precipitate hitting the portal. He certainly wouldn't beat out Bo to start in 2023. I suppose brother Matayo's commitment to Oregon may play a role. For whatever reason it just doesn't seem like a great move for DJ or the Ducks, but maybe it was part of the consideration to get younger bro here.

Sorry to see him go, but if his draft eval put him in the top two rounds another year in green probably wouldn't change things too much. Great Duck player and befitting of the incredible Sewell legacy. With LaDuke and Flowe gone does that leave Keith Brown as the #1 with Jackson and Taggart behind him? Bassa seems a bit small to slide to the middle. DL likely has another portal player already in mind to bring in at the Mike.

Good Grief! Oregon Has a Shot at a THIRD 5-Star?
EastBayDuckDad replied to Charles Fischer's topic in Our Beloved Ducks
Unfortunately whining and complaining is part of the U$C DNA. So is griping about how your housekeeper won't clean the pool house sinks properly, how the valet at Spago parks the Ferrari next to a Buick, how your landscaper cuts the bougainvillea too close to the twelve foot high abobe security wall, how Prada on Rodeo Dr. just can't seem to keep your seasonal color in stock and how the aging B list celebrity next door won't keep their blinds down.
