Oregon’s Perimeter Blocking is Much Improved

No.

It’s been incredibly clear through three games that the Duck’s are much improved blockers on the perimeter of the offense this season.

It has allowed their screens to hit in a way that wasn’t always the case last season.

I know there was some confusion from fans surrounding the screen game last year, and one of the popular jabs was that all Stein does is call bubble screens. The reality is that the grand majority of WR screens you see are option attached to run plays.

I imagine with the improved perimeter blocking, most people will be just fine with bubbles when they’re thrown.

Amen Duck-Brother...now I know that Scott Frost is not popular here, but when he was receiver coach...our WR blocking was superb, and really helped spring explosion plays. The perimeter blocking this year is the best since then, IMHO.

And yes...having a Bubble Screen as part of a RPO goes back over a decade with Chip...
