Morning Quack Fix: Graziani's advice to Costa, the latest injury news, and going on the road

Tony "the Shnoz" Graziani

There’s all kinds of similarities between the ‘94 Rose Bowl Season and this season. I agree, here’s hoping Ol’ Three Knee Lucky Number Nate takes the reigns like the Shnoz, and this game ends the same way!

Quack!!

I do wonder what it says about UO

That our most successful pro QBs, Graziani in the Arena League and Feeley in the NFL, were both largely backups.

that our good QBs were drafted high by terrible franchises and were never given the time, teammates or coaching needed to develop into a good NFL quarterback. Seriously, the Detroit Lions, I think 99% of QB would have been a bust in that situation.

Best game in Autzen??

Masoli was supposed to have his evaluation from a doctor yesterday. Has anyone heard anything about the results of that evaluation? I was expecting that if everything is fine Mosely or somebody would announce that, but it’s been eerily quiet. Has anything been said or written about the results of the eval?

Guy behind me at Autzen says "why do the fans yell 'OOO' when we are on D?" He then proceeds to yell "DEEEEEEEE" on every defensive play for the rest of the game. As Carlos Mencia would say, "Dee DeeDee".

by MarineCorpsDuck on Oct 9, 2009 9:47 AM PDT reply actions  

I believe Moseley mentioned yesterday that Masoli was unavailable for comment. I’ll try to find that link.

by ntrebon on Oct 9, 2009 9:58 AM PDT up reply actions  

Here’s the link.

And, the passage in question:

Jeremiah Masoli was out there again today, but as he said yesterday, he’s preparing to come off the bench behind Nate Costa only if needed against the Bruins. Masoli said he had an MRI conducted Tuesday and was meeting with doctors today for another evaluation, but between Kelly’s policy of not updating injuries and Masoli being unavailable today because of his class schedule, I have no update on his knee.

by ntrebon on Oct 9, 2009 9:59 AM PDT up reply actions  

I have not heard a thing, and according to the above-linked injury report, niether had Moseley. While it could be a Dixon situation where the coaching staff and players simply lie about it, Kelly has been honest with injury reports so far: The player is either out for the year, or day-to-day.

Also, the circumstances now are so different than when Dixon was hurt, I do not believe that the coaching staff would risk Masoli to further knee injury by having him practice if he had a torn ACL. So, I’m ruling that out at least.

So, what we’ve heard, is that Masoli has a buise on the inside of his knee, near the MCL. That’s something to be concerned about, but not season ending, and far from it.

My guess right now, Masoli has a knee injury, but is not out for the season. I expect him to be 100% by UW, but if the coaching staff isn’t being honest about the knee injury (which is possible, but not likely), he could be out a few weeks.

Which is fine

If we can’t beat UCLA with Costa, we aren’t nearly as good as we think we are.

If we can't beat fucla with Costa by 3 touchdowns,

And I tell you, I think the Yell-0 Bellies are going to get their shut-OW-t, obvously not against Cal or Cougs, but against the Bruins in their own cage. Eddie Pleasant is not going to be very nice. Clean and fair and quite unpleasant.

It is, I’m really excited to see what this group of youngsters can do. Also, let’s remember, while losing Glasper sucks, we’re still only replacing one starting CB from the beginning of the season. We have experience at the other 3 secondary positions.

--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog

by jtlight on Oct 9, 2009 10:26 AM PDT up reply actions  

I thinking back to the dark times of summer here so I may be wrong

Didn’t we come into the season with Javes Lewis playing a little bit of both CB and Rover. If it comes down to it, move him back to corner, keep Boyett at Safety and have TJ Ward play Rover. Now of coarse it is not that easy to just plug guys into a different position in the middle of the season, and I dont even know if TJ can play rover. But that secondary is just appealing to me if we are struggling with the new replacement for the third.

We have a lot of talent. We’ll just have to see if they can step it up. Boyett and Lewis have done an amazing job thus far. I’m excited to see what the rest of the youngsters can do.

Cliff Harris is traveling to LA

…according to this report at GoDucks.com. And Rob Moseley says in his blog today:

Harris is traveling because, in my opinion, he’s going to play tomorrow at cornerback. Perhaps a lot.

Looks like we might see Cliff Harris for the first time. I’m pretty excited to see what this highly touted kid can do.

if we stop lying to ourselves was he ever on the face of the earth

he did nothing last year. He kind of had a good spring, but its spring, and had an ok summer but never actually did anything. I think this was a case of everyone thinking, we have a good team, so we have to have a good receiver, and he was the best we had. So he has to be good. I had class with him last year and the dude just doesn’t have it together. Can the really fast USC reject receiver experiment be over?

Best game in Autzen??

by trumpetduck on Oct 9, 2009 11:50 AM PDT up reply actions  

JUUUUUUST like J-Will last year. Remember all the articles in the Summer about him seeing the eye doctor and whatnot? The only 2 plays I remember of Holland’s this year is the dropped TD against BSU and a dropped TD against either Purdue or Utah. I know the BSU one would have been called back, but still. He is only a junior though, so hopefully Frost can work with him and he’ll learn to catch better.

Selective memory...

When he had the ball in his hands, he was great. He had two great plays against Purdue and Utah, taking short passes for huge gains.

Unfortunately, his route running and concentration sounds like it’s been very poor over the past couple weeks.

Like I said, I knew the BSU one got called back. All I was saying is that he dropped a wide open pass. I am not saying he’s the same a J-Will when it comes to catching the ball, I just meant that they both received a ton of hype about how much they improved during the summer.

Another note on this, I’m glad they’re taking Hawkins. Like Moseley’s theoretical situation, what if Oregon’s up by a few scores late, and Costa goes down. Now, there’s an option that’s not the possible re-injury of Masoli or the burning of Thomas’ redshirt.

Costa played as a Freshman and then redshirted later. I think we did the same thing with Gildon (at CB) and many others. We can always do the same with Hawkins if need be.
