Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted April 23, 2022 I thought we would have a thread for those who like to comment/discuss through the game. No bets on who wins...as Oregon always wins! So, do you like what you are seeing? Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am watching on the PAC-12 network. It followed the Utah game. Bo has all the tools - but he needs to take better care on his throws. My impression so far after the Utah game and part of a half in Eugene - take the over when Utah and Oregon play! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gizmoduck No. 14 Share Posted April 23, 2022 They're going fast. I missed it so much! Is it perfect? Not by a longshot. But is it a great foundation to be built upon going forward? Absolutely, I've seen everything I needed to see from both sides of the ball. Can't wait til the fall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jester No. 17 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Someone woke up the defenses after a couple sluggish possessions. Bo Nix doing what Bo Nix does - Looks good for a couple series and then makes a throw that makes you say, "What in the h, e, double hockey sticks was that"! Noah Wittington and Chase Cota are putting up the effort. Seven McGee is going to enjoy this offense. Ty Thompson had a couple good reads and was faced with smaller windows than Bo for the most part. I am concerned over the two injuries. Special teams...yeah, there still special. We'll see what happens in half #2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks gimpy and so far, his play is a mirror of his career at Auburn. The starters on OL look good. Transfers Whittingham and Gonzalez both look good. This team gets quality play at QB and gets the DL guys sitting out the game healthy and watch out. One of the injuries looked like Caddy Shack, 'I should have yelled 2!" and not fore.

Babyjesus615 No. 26 Share Posted April 23, 2022 I think Butterfield has a better grasp of this offense than Thompson does. The pro-style aspects of it play to his strengths. He was slinging it in the 2nd half. 1 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCDuckfan No. 27 Share Posted April 23, 2022 My takeaways: - Receivers are a deep and very talented group. - D-Line was impressive...especially DJ Johnson. - Nix is the clear starter at QB going into to the fall. - Seven McGee is going to be exciting to watch. - Energy around the team seems really good. 8 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duckhart No. 33 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Both lines were split up and its tough to see what qb can squirt out of the pocket when they call collapse. I didnt see many screen plays or play action pass. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUCKED No. 34 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I thought DJ Johnson was the most impactful player on the field. McGee and Cota were also impressive. While Nix may have emerged as the No. 1 quarterback, I wasn’t overly impressed . Throwing to a receiver with three defenders around him is inexcusable for a player with his experience. Makes me concerned about his decision making. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cockroach No. 35 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Butterfield would get my nod. His receivers didn’t help him out. Bo and Ty both had their moments but were too inconsistent. It also will depend on which one the most mobile. The QB I believe will be big part of the running game. Coda mvp Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllOregon No. 37 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I was there today. Announced attendance of 42K. My take: QB: Nix was clear No.1 but had a couple poor decisions. Impressed with Butterfields arm. Wanted so badly for Ty to take the job, May have been third best . Maybe now we do know why AB started after all. Made me wonder if Ty’s late pick might just be his last game pass thrown as a Duck. To be fair, QBs not allowed to run. That part hard to evaluate. WRs: 3 words- Ducks Are Loaded. The sophomores all got great separation and long ball PROWESS, Hutson looked ok after the injury. Cota catches everything, already saw QBs use him as security blanket, should be clutch on third down. Special note: Seven McGee might be Tyreek Hill. I thought he was MVP even on non catches due to “touch sacks” RBs looked good. Hard to evaluate Defense given schemes and rules but VERY ball hawkish. Tempo: speed is back . Offense is going to get playmakers in space. This will be way more Chip than MC. Overall: lots to work on but that is expected given it is April. DEPTH is apparent. Offense will score a lot. Defense: will make plays. Cannot eval PROWESS based on scheme and many starters who hardly played. outlook: Will compete for Pac12 title. 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Duck No. 38 Share Posted April 24, 2022 On 4/23/2022 at 5:34 PM, 1Ducker1 said: Spring game highlights on YouTube Thanks for sharing that! My quick takeaway about the quarterbacks after watching and reading @AllOregon 's comment is that I am grateful that Nix transferred over. If he hadn't, I suspect we'd have Butterfield as the clear number one going into fall camp and the early date with Georgia, with Thompson as a backup not looking like he's quite ready for serious action yet. Hopefully TT stays around and keeps progressing. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Joseph Moderator No. 39 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Ty, oh my? A guy who looks great on the range but shaky at the first tee. So many athletes on both sides of the ball and what looks like a staff and a system that will let them play ball. No more of I'd rather punch you in the mouth and get 3 yards than run around you for a TD. If Moorhead watched THIS he has to be sick to his stomach.

Haywarduck No. 40 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Nix looked like he had been there before, Ty looked like he needed a do over or two, and Butters looked like he has a touch I would like to hear what the receiver group thinks of. Nix made some nice, safe throws, when he was on, Ty made some bullets which shows his potential, but Butters was the one who just seemed to have the vision and touch you want in a starter. It is astounding these guys have been in the program this long and still look that raw. The most exciting thing I saw was players flocking to Ngata, alumni on the sidelines, Brooks finally back openly supporting his Ducks. It just seemed like the Ducks are truly back, who knows how good they will be, but the Ducks of old are back. That is reassuring, and all I wanted to see. I am an excited Duck fan, again. But Hayward is beyond awesome, just wow! I am not sure there is a more beautiful, better designed sporting venue in the world. 1 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven A Moderator No. 41 Share Posted April 24, 2022 QB takeaways: #1 Nix is #1; #2 Too close to call which I hope means both Ty and Jay stick around to battle for #1 next year after a full year in Dilingham's system. #3 Based upon the non-contact aspect of QB play, we weren't able to see much in the way of rollouts or options. So that may have something to do with the final priority. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
