HappyToBeADuck No. 3 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Whatever pieces it takes to have a 2 deep defensive roster in place September 3rd against the Bulldogs. Mingle a little veteran experience with the baby Ducks, pour in the seasoning of the Coach Lanning Defense and take the PAC by storm. Georgia, BYU, WSU and Utah offensive schemes and talent will push the D to the limit. The D may need to win 2 of those games. The difference between 10-2 and 8-4 could be a few key pieces. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrw Moderator No. 4 Share Posted March 8, 2022 More significantly, both Josh Conerly and Lebbeus Overton (plus his brother) will be in Eugene this weekend. Open wide the Overton window! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Joseph Moderator No. 5 Share Posted March 8, 2022 You cannot have too many good players if, in today's free agent world, you can keep them at 'home.' This young man is leaving a team that played significantly better last season and finished 8-4. He was foundational piece to this improvement. His DC has departed but his team's QB, DTR, is back. And UCLA with its cupcake OOC schedule will be 3-0 to the start the season. Regardless of the competition, after week 3, UCLA will be ranked in the AP top 25. If I'm the guy tasked with tracking and recruiting the portal, I would definitely want to know why this young man is leaving LA? Ditto for why any young man heads to what he believes will be 'greener pastures.' As we often see in the NFL, free agents who leave their team to sign for more money elsewhere quite often do not play as well or better, for their new team. If the coaches see Agude is a team player, sign him up. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywarduck Moderator No. 6 Share Posted March 8, 2022 If we signed all three (4), it would be an epic weekend. If we just sign the brother, not so much. Agree about transfers, motivation is a critical question with these guys. If they are just looking for another place which will solve all their problems then a transfer isn't a good catch. A senior trying to be highlighted for the NFL Draft, not too bad if he is a team player. If Agude wants to be a disruptive force on national tv against Georgia to start the season, bring him on! If I was selling Agude on Oregon that is what I would be selling, and then see his reaction and hear his plan. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are anticipating after Spring Football, that a couple of players will see newbie freshmen pass them on the depth chart and they can see the PT handwriting on the wall. I would not be surprised to see the No. 3 QB transfer out as well in May/June. I don't like it, but it is the world now. Play me or I'm gone... 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyToBeADuck No. 10 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Any P-5 defensive player who watched the Natty could envision or dream about playing for Coach Lanning. Only so many high 4 and 5 star players can go to Georgia, Bama, tOSU, etc. Oregon with Coach Lannings scheme can never get enough of those type of players on the roster. If Coach calls and asks you to come visit, WHY NOT? Deciding between Oregon and UCLA? That choice could be the difference between a NFL Combine invite or just finishing your degree and on to your 40 year career. Or maybe just a legitimate shot at the CFP. Young people have dreams. Dreams that drive your personal motivation engine. Playing for a national brand on national TV could be part of that dream Go Ducks find those hungry, talented players willing to work for the team and make their dream come true. Find players who are committed to 2022 being a 15 game season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
