Quack Fix: Oregon's offense meets the press, and Ngata & Byrd are Pro Bowlers

Email
PrintThere's no such thing as moderation around the Holidays, and apparently that applies to Rose Bowl coverage too, because there was an over abundance of Quack yesterday for today's fix. So, let's just dive right in:
- The Oregon offense met the press yesterday. Jeremiah Masoli, Ed Dickson, LaMichael James and Bo Thran, as well as offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich, all took part in the press conference. The Oregonian's John Hunt has a nice piece on Helfrich, who we haven't heard speak to reporters all that much this year. Obviously, Helfrich is still learning the ropes, considering Chip Kelly still calls the plays, but it sounds like he knows his stuff.
- Of course, Rose Bowl coverage didn't focus entirely on the Oregon offense yesterday. In fact, much of the coverage focused on Ohio State's relatively unsung defense, and how it plans to stop the Ducks, including comments from the Buckeyes' defensive coordinator, Jim Heacock. By the way, Heacock was once a Fusky.
- And of course, some of the coverage yesterday focused on Oregon's defense. Ohio State blog We Will Always Have Tempe reveals a relatively unbiased perspective of Oregon's defense, stating the Buckeyes' offense needs to "pound the rock, drain the clock, and keep the Duck offense off the field." I think it's a bit more complicated than that. The Buckeyes are going to need Oregon to turn the ball over.
- Oregonian's John Canzano thinks it's to the Ducks' advantage to keep things loose. And apparently that's how they've been acting all week, which Canzano deems a good sign and a welcomed change from their approach early in the season.
- Following Ohio State sophomore quarterback Terrelle Prior's Monday press conference, the R-G's George Schroeder was pretty critical of Buckeyes head coach Jim Tressel's tight-ship coaching style and wonders if Prior might benefit from a looser approach, not only with the media, but on the field.
- Two former Oregon defensive stars are first-time Pro Bowlers. Buffalo Bills rookie safety Jairus Byrd and Baltimore Ravens defensive tackle Haloti Ngata were both named to the AFC Pro Bowl team yesterday. Byrd, who will likely miss the game after apparently undergoing surgery Monday to repair a nagging groin injury, is tied for the league lead with nine interceptions. Ngata, in his fourth season, has 34 tackles, 1.5 sacks and one forced fumble. The Pro Bowl teams are selected by the players, coaches and fans, with each group accounting for a third of the total voting weight. Congratulations to both Jairus and Haloti for their success at the next level.
- The R-G's Rob Moseley's Duck of the Day yesterday was redshirt freshman running back James. He had a great feature on James about how much he's matured this season after being thrown into the mix following LeGarrette Blount's suspension. Of course, we all know how we feel about James here at ATQ.
- A contributor to The Oregonian looks back at Oregon's previous four Rose Bowl appearances, with a brief summary of each game.
- Linebacker Spencer Paysinger is apparently playing tour guide to his teammates in Los Angeles. Paysinger grew up a few minutes from Oregon's team hotel.
- What uniforms should the Ducks wear for the Granddaddy of Them All? LaMike thinks all white, while Masoli says all black. Because the footage, photos and images from the Rose Bowl will instantly become a part of the game's storied history, at the very least, I hope ole Casey Martin keeps it classy. Basically, anything but this combo.
As always, leave any relevant links or comments below.

All white is nice, but brings up bad memories.
Its too bad we’re playing the buckeyes, I imagine we can’t use the silver (or whatever color it is) helmets.

white green green is a classy yet eye catching look compared to the buckeye mainstays
a nice combination of recruit-eye grabbing and less fodder for the announcers to mock our wardrobe.

Yeah, after all the post-Cal coverage included a line about “It must have been the uniforms,” I really liked that we came out for Southern Cal with nothing unusual.

i thought oregon was the home team...
doesn’t that mean ohio state’s wearing their white uni’s? wouldn’t that make oregon wearing their “white’s” out of the question?
I thought Moseley noted at some point yesterday or the day before that he’s pretty sure the Ducks will be in white helmets. With their uniform combos, that means very little as to what the rest of the attire will look like, but I’m with Paul – no white, green, gray combos please.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
Goodness,
Thankfully we don’t use the same combo twice, hopefully the white/green/grey never is used again.
Hmmm, white helmet/yellow jersey/grey pants would look TERRIBLE as well.

Still,
You shouldn’t fuck with concussions. If that hasn’t become painfully obvious to college football coaches over the past several years, then they probably never got over their own concussions from their playing days.

Oh, definitely. But if someone says “I got locked in this electrical closet when I had a concussion,” and it turns out they were not locked in anything that could be mistaken as an electrical closet, you kinda wonder how much of the rest of his accusations were true.

Agreed. One thing that bugs me about this is Craig James getting raked over the coals for doing what any father in his position would and should. Possibly, his son overreacted. Probably, Leach is a blowhard. James has always seemed like a smart, solid commentator, and a good guy.
He is the one who actually did the right thing in this whole mess, and he’s going to look bad for it.

And apparently Adam acted very entitled and would often fake minor injuries to get out of practice. And inside receivers coach Lincoln Riley referred to disciplining him “two practices before Adam James claimed he had a concussion.” Assuming that the e-mails forwarded to CBCSports.com are legit.

This is an awfully weird passage for a puff piece.
With his 220 pounds packed into the 5-11 frame and his oversized brown eyes beneath long, wavy black hair pulled back by a band, Masoli doesn’t need a bobblehead made in his image. Just take an old troll doll and slap a green No. 8 jersey on it.

Well, this was a rather generic piece about how an athlete is not typical or overcame some sort of hindrance. But the whole bit describing Masoli’s face/head was strange at the very least.
Perhaps Maisel loves Masoli for different reasons than we do. Any of us would have written at least 20,000 words about Masoli’s ownage of Lance Mitchell/that one fUCLA linebacker/OkSt DB; not many words about his face.

A clarification
# And of course, some of the coverage yesterday focused on Oregon’s defense. Ohio State blog We Will Always Have Tempe reveals a relatively unbiased perspective of Oregon’s defense, stating the Buckeyes’ offense needs to “pound the rock, drain the clock, and keep the Duck offense off the field.” I think it’s a bit more complicated than that. The Buckeyes are going to need Oregon to turn the ball over.
This was in reference to strictly what the offense must do to keep Oregon on the field. For Ohio State to win, it certainly must force turnovers on defense. Offensively, of course it has to avoid committing them themselves, just as it has to against any other team.

My goodness.
It looks as if I too underestimated the Stoops tradition of blowing big games.

Let’s not underestimate Nebraska’s ability to stop playing offense and try to win 10-9.

Arizona is looking terrible right now.

All of us here at ATQ know that the key to victory is obviously PANIC!!!!

But not white helmets!
Reference Boise.
Many can try to imitate, but there can be only one...Masoli.
Good point,
There is always something to PANIC!!!!! about

I hope they show some Holiday Bowl highlights and show Masoli trucking the Safety and TJ Ward trying to break Zac Robinson clean in half.

I'm the one who hates panicing...
…but too much white is no bueno when it comes to jerseys. Who knows, we might totally break that superstition on New Years Day. Lol.
I like how Robinson tried to pull a Masoli against Tech earlier this season and failed badly.

White Os on white helmets, white wings & white numbers on white jerseys, white pants, white socks, white shoes.

Arizona's defense looks dazed and confused now that they are without their DC

Food for thought
Adam Jude reported earlier here that LGB was “held out” of media day, seeming to indicate that it was the team’s call not to allow him to participate. Ed Dickson seemed to confirm that when he said that Blount wanted to talk.
Chip Kelly in his interview at media day (here ) said that it was completely LGB’s decision not to participate.
EIther way he didn’t go, which I think is a shame, but why the conflicting stories? Why not let LGB go? I really think it’s a disservice to him not to let him speak if he wants to. If he didn’t want to, well, that’s fine, but then why would Dickson have said what he did?
This is pretty much a non-story, but the conflicting reports confused me.

If LGB went out there, every single question would be related to "the punch",
I imagine that neither he, nor Coach Kelly would want him to lose his focus by having to deal with 40 minutes of answering trivial questions regarding a punch.

Still, if that’s the case, why wouldn’t Kelly have just said that? And why would Dickson say otherwise?
And I don’t completely agree – I think there would be some questions about the punch, but there would have also been a lot of those feel-good, how do you like being back out on the field type of questions.
And the focus thing is a non-factor. A few media questions aren’t going to make him lose focus.

God damn Arizona.
Even UCLA gor a bowl win. C’mon.
Only losing THREE starters from the USC game. (Offense and Defense)

Wow,
This sets up very favorably for us. I know that it was between UO and Penn State.
Come on Steven, dont get your hopes up dammit!

Exciting stuff for sure. I’m really trying not to get my hopes up either.

Holy crap!!!
if we got Easley, Owa and King in this recruiting class do you have any idea what our D line would look like in 2 years?
LET CH3 RETURN KICKS!!!!
Heck, even if we could get Easley and King, there’s a good chance White could get moved over to defense.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
If we could pull of two of the "big 4" D-line prospects,
I would be ecstatic.
Werner, King, Owa, and Easley are all great players that could contribute very quickly.

After hearing this news I immediately thought that someone new was in the race. Found this and saw that Miami is now in the mix. Don’t know how much of this is true. I guess that we’ll all find out on Saturday.
