It was fun learning about a formation from the past being implemented at Oregon in 2022. The Ducks called it the “14Josh” as Oregon sent a sixth offensive lineman, true freshman (at the time) Josh Conerly Jr., out for multiple run plays in the big win over BYU early in the season. Adding an extra offensive lineman or two isn’t ...

    I love the J14 formation. Glad to see it again.Can't wait for more.

    Call it '11Brute'.  11 Ducks force their will thru good 'ol brute force, like a human battering ram, right thru the heart of the defense.  With a name like that the Ducks could catch the defense assuming they're coming straight ahead when the ball carrier actually has options to take it wide if the defense collapses inside.  With the speed of James, a bounce outside could be devastating.  But the name sounds a bit too mean.

    Thanks Charles!  This is a superb analysis and the video gives us a beautiful view of what you described!

     

    In the Delaware Wing T we ran as our base offense, we called this play "Down".  Play side down block, down block, pull. 

     

    We never had this many tight ends and big bodies though.  The advantage of the Delaware Wing T was smaller athletes could use angles to make up for size.

     

    The constraint plays off this are awesome.  When the blocking technique improves - Wow!  Go Ducks!

    Colorado has gotten all the early-season buzz, but Deion Sanders' Buffaloes face their toughest test yet in defending Oregon. Here's why.

     

    It is behind a paywall normally, so not sure this link will work.  Long explanation and 19 photos or videos.  They type of analysis we've come to expect from The Fish.  chuckle
