DUCati855 Moderator No. 3 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Coach DL handled those questions about as well as he could. He knows this team (including coaches) have some work to do. I appreciate the depth of some of those questions. He definitely knows he is dealing with a knowledgeable fan base that demands more than just coaches talk. I appreciate that he protects his players the way he does without making excuses for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

noDucknewby No. 5 Share Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) Pretty crappy Crepea singles out Bennet Williams on that last long TD. Did he single out Forsyth for the bad snap or Nix for the fumble in the red zone.? There were at least a dozen miscues that contributed to the loss, any one of which could have been the difference maker if it had gone the other way. Bennet's missed tackle just happened to be the last. We all can see he's struggling and DL admitted he's probably being asked to do too much. I hate seeing classless personal attacks on players from "professional" journalists. Edited November 16, 2022 by noDucknewby Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyToBeADuck No. 6 Share Posted November 16, 2022 The Ducks high scoring, clock eating offense has bailed the defense out in more than a few games. The defensive weaknesses have existed since the spring game. Actually since the 2019 season... Probably going to be fixed beginning in spring of 23........ What wont need fixing is Coach Lanning's willingness to own the problems. DL and his staff are probably losing much needed sleep over a defense that cant pass rush, apply pressure, pass cover and get off the field on 3rd down. However, win or lose, it's a team effort. Every play thru out the 60 minutes matter and contribute to the final score. Coaching mistakes or player execution? Offense, defense and special teams, well it doesnt matter. Its on the team.... What matters is the Utah game. I am confident that the coaches and players will work on those weaknesses and bring their A plus game on Saturday. No one, i think can say they didnt see those players give everything they had. I am proud of the effort and grateful for this coaching staff. This season could have been much worse.......

One only has to listen to the verbose questions Crapea(sic) asks, to realize it is all about him. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augduck No. 8 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Crepea loves to be the 'smartest man in the room' and I love that DL nicely lets him know he is not the smartest man in the room in a very succinct and professional way. He clearly was trying to get DL to throw Williams under the bus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He clearly was trying to get DL to throw Williams under the bus. Crepea definitely has an ego and it shows in his questioning. But, without him asking the hard questions we would get the same report from the coach every week. No one else asks those questions. At least this way we can see/hear DL talk about his players. We learn how much he cares for this team. We understand how quick witted and intelligent Coach Lanning is. I for one enjoy getting to understand the coach this way. I respect him more by how he answers Crepea's questions than if those questions were never asked. I'm not a fan of Crepea's personality either. But, his character flaws contrast nicely to DL's attributes. This makes for some great quotes. Edited November 16, 2022 by DUCati855 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were breakdowns on offense, defense and special teams. Bennet's miscue alone did not cost us the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct, but he also was burned earlier in the game on the long TD, and was he part of the "mis-communication" vs Colorado? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
