Quack Fix: The Oregon Ducks are the Pac-10 Champions

What a night. I still have a grin plastered across my face. The Ducks are Pac-10 champions. Here's your post-Civil War quack:

  • First off, Chip Kelly. 3 fourth down attempts and conversions that saved and then won the game for the Ducks. George Schroeder caught up with him after the game, and Kelly never had any thought of NOT going for it. And the confidence that Kelly displayed spread to the whole team. Despite being down by 9 in the 3rd, the Ducks never wavered, they never gave up. They just kept on plugging, and made big play after big play, on both sides of the ball.
  • Ken Woody has his post-game analysis up. A few things that stuck out: Bringing in Blount turned out to be much more than giving him some playing time as a senior. His physicality was something the Ducks desperately needed (Paul was right!). Second, for all the talk about the Beavers "controlling the clock," it was the Ducks that did that in the second half, with a number of huge drives to keep the Beaver offense off the field. Lastly, OSU seemed to make no attempt to establish a running game. The Ducks dominated the ground game, especially in the second half.
  • Adam Jude has a piece on LeGarrette Blount, and the emotional night after a long and lonely season. One of my favorite parts of the night can be seen on the SportsCenter highlights of the game (they won't let me embed): The massive smile on Gary Cambell's face when he hugs Blount after his touchdown. I'm so happy for LeGarrette for getting to this point. He kept his head down, and worked hard all season, even when he wasn't being rewarded. How the entire team responded to the Boise situation makes me proud to be a Duck.
  • Ted Miller has a piece on the bumpy ride the Ducks endured. It has been an exciting ride, with some incredible lows, which make the highs that much sweeter.
  • The senior sendoff was a great success, and good thing it was well before kickoff, or it may have been a bit teary on the sideline.
  • And, since I can't resist looking forward, let's take a quick look at recruiting. There were some huge visitors last night, including a surprise by Dominique Easley, one of the top DE recruits in the nation. Don't be surprised if the Duck commitments start rolling in.

After the jump a few videos. As always, leave your links and comments below. It's a day of celebration!!! GO DUCKS!!!

Great game Ducks! and a great season!

Hell yes. The day after the “Boise State incident”, I was hoping that they would make it to the Rose Bowl and become PAC-10 Champs!! Now go kick some ass in Pasadena!

I think it's an interesting debate...

of whether BSU wins the Pac-10. They played tight games against Tulsa, Fresno and Nevada. Of course, Fresno hangs with everyone. However, Tulsa and Nevada are pretty bad teams. Nevada lost all three of their OOC by wide margins. ND held them to 0 points…ND! I think BSU drops a couple games in the PAC-10.

by BisonDucks on Dec 4, 2009 1:59 PM PST up reply actions  

At least

I think they fail to beat USC, Zona and either Cal or OSU at least. Physical play is their downfall and the pounding Pac-10 teams take week in and week out is too much.

They could probably win the Big East or ACC though.

The thing is...

I don’t know if I can call which two it would be. They could beat anyone on any given day. However, they went on the road to Tulsa and almost gave it away. Going away to even Husky Stadium and playing the way they did might result in a loss.

They were decimated by injuries this year. That wide receiving corp they have is very second rate at the moment with Pettis out. It’s really just Titus and former walk ons and freshman.

I think Gerhart would have a field day as well.

Talmadge Jackson III

Great game, great article, but I’m very worried. Why? Because Talmadge Jackson III always has his back to the ball. I’ve noticed him doing this in recent games, when a receiver goes by him, he never even attempts to look back, he just tries to time the jump. He either gets beat, gets PI, or gets lucky. If he had turned around he would have had some picks. Can we create some buzz about this because it’s getting to be a very worrisome trend and someone needs to have a chat with this guy.

by themilman on Dec 4, 2009 8:57 AM PST reply actions  

That’s the way to play man coverage. If you look back for the ball, the receiver has a better chance of getting wide open.

by JShufelt on Dec 4, 2009 8:59 AM PST up reply actions  

I disagree, that is not the way to play man coverage. You run with the receiver and look back when you see them looking back. You locate the ball and make a play on it. Good corners can do this without slowing down and without changing direction (both hard to do when you turn your head). I know T-Jack has made a lot of great plays for us, but when we play a good opposing QB (see Stanford, AZ, OSU) he gets exposed. Look at the corners in the NFL, they DO NOT play like T-Jack, they run with the receiver and look back. That’s how it’s supposed to be done.

by themilman on Dec 4, 2009 10:02 AM PST up reply actions  

It’s entirely dependent on how much time you have as a receiver. If you’re with the receiver and have plenty of time, you can turn around. In the cases you’re describing, TJ did not have the time to turn around, and played the man, not the ball. This is smart football.

--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog

by jtlight on Dec 4, 2009 10:07 AM PST up reply actions  

Um, the play he got called for PI, where the receiver got the ball? He was running with him step for step, the ball was under thrown, he wasn’t beat, if he had turns around he intercepts it. You can’t tell me he’s beat when he’s bumping into the receiver long before the ball gets there, running along, bumping him, arms up, never looks back, jumps when the receiver jumps. He’s keeping up with these guys most of the time, he just needs to turn his head around. And I don’t care who his coach is or who he coaches, no NFL corner plays like T-Jack is playing, period.

by themilman on Dec 4, 2009 10:17 AM PST up reply actions  

I think you’re just inventing what happened now. TJ was beat on that play, James Rodgers had a step on him and TJ was running to keep up. Are you really advocating him trying to turn around and make a play in that situation, because that is an incredibly stupid thing to do. The only reason it appeared that TJ could make a play on that ball was because Canfield threw an atrocious pass. However, you can’t assume that will happen. You have to assume that the opposing QB will make a decent throw.

As far as your whole argument about NFL players, NFL DBs play the man when the circumstances demand it.

--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog

by jtlight on Dec 4, 2009 10:32 AM PST up reply actions  

look back when you see them looking back.

So that the receiver can fake you out and get wide open? No thanks. That’s a recipe for a long TD. The best DBs look to make a play for the ball when they jump in a man coverage situation.

When the ball is already in the air they are not going to be faking you, they will be making a play on the ball and you will be watching them because you don’t have eyes in the back of your head. Just watch any NFL game this weekend, watch the corners, they will not play a single play this way unless they are beat and have no chance to make a play. T-Jackson is not getting beat and is covering these guys by running alongside them and putting his hands/arms up at the last second. This is not how you play corner at any level unless you have a major confidence issue. This is not rocket science and I can’t believe I’m having to defense proper coverage technique.

by themilman on Dec 4, 2009 10:29 AM PST up reply actions

You need to watch Larry Fitzgerald a lot more. He’s a master at this.

T-Jackson is not getting beat and is covering these guys by running alongside them and putting his hands/arms up at the last second.

That’s because OSU receivers are quite good at only reaching for the ball the last second. That’s how you play your role as a WR, and that’s how you respond as a CB. If the WR reaches for the ball the last second, that’s a slight edge over the CB.

The coverage was fine, the play at WR was better.

"When the ball is already in the air they are not going to be faking you"

Quick question:

How is the defender supposed to know the ball is in the air?

And have you ever seen a receiver do a double move, if the DB looks back, the WR is GONE!.

BTW, proper coverage can be played either way (face gaurding or by looking back). Oregon plays face gaurding in man-to man sitautions. There is nothing wrong with this technique you have to read the man’s eyes and hands and go for them when he does… I don’t get why you are so worked up over this.

While a lot of fans want to complain about that, he has made so many plays this year. It’s easy to remember when it doesn’t work out, but his method gives him the best chances for success.

by jtlight on Dec 4, 2009 9:09 AM PST up reply actions  

We were talking about this as we watched the game at my house last night. I remember having a discussion about this after the Stanford game, in which our cornerbacks were similarly victimized.

For anyone who has grown up watching sports, or has a good grasp of the way sports works, football is not a hard game to understand. Even the nuances, such as play-calling and blocking schemes and such can be generally understood; at least on a basic level. But this happens to be one particular area where we, as fans, just don’t get it unless we have a much more in depth knowledge of the cornerback position and how it functions within Oregon’s defensive schemes.

Obviously, TJ3 has been coached to play that way. He’s done that enough to where it’s obvious he’s not making a mistake. Someone told him to defend passes that way. And the coaching staff, while not infallible, certainly isn’t stupid. John Neal knows what he’s doing. He saw TJ3 get victimized at Stanford, and yet he didn’t change anything. Now it happened again, but he still didn’t make any adjustments. Either Neal (or Alliotti, I suppose) is stubborn, and doesn’t want to admit that the way he’s coaching is flawed, or offenses are just making great plays. I tend to think it’s more of the latter, but because the play LOOKS so easy to make, we as fans get riled up.

by Gorbachav5 on Dec 4, 2009 9:57 AM PST up reply actions  

Running with your back to the play, throwing up your arms, jumping, and/or running into the receiver IS NOT good coverage and that is how T-Jack plays it. Probably what happened is that on some play a few games ago he looked back, slowed down or got slightly out of position and got burned. After that he didn’t turn around had some lucky timing with a jump, broke up the pass and didn’t get flagged and is now going with that strategy. Doesn’t make it the right one. He’ll be the starting corner in an even better PAC-10 next year and the other teams are going to watch tape and throw his way all the time with sucess if he doesn’t change his ways.

by themilman on Dec 4, 2009 10:05 AM PST up reply actions  

Or, you know, he’s being taught to play this way by John Neal, who continually coaches 3 star players up to NFL level.

This is my point

I, for once, am admitting I don’t know better. I am NOT an expert on how to play cornerback. As a fan, it looks like an issue. But I can clearly see that TJ3 is NOT getting burned on these plays. So clearly this is a COACHING decision, not a player making mistakes.

I’d have to be pretty arrogant to admit that I can coach better football fundamentals than guys who are payed 6 figure salaries to do so.

by Gorbachav5 on Dec 4, 2009 10:24 AM PST up reply actions  

I think the pattern for his coverage has been quite clear: When his man gets past him, he plays the man, not the ball. This is exactly what he should be doing. He’s made many plays this year playing this way. Sometimes you can execute it, sometimes not. But when you’re beat, you’re automatically at a disadvantage. He’s done a good job playing as his coaches have taught him, and it’s the right move by the coaching staff.

by jtlight on Dec 4, 2009 10:43 AM PST up reply actions  

Well, and lets be honest, the plays he has gotten beat on this year, were really great plays by the QB and WR. He’s not getting killed off the line, he’s only had a couple (two that come to mind) PI calls, and he has broken up a lot of passes.

Sometimes the WR and QB make a great play, you just have to nod your head, realize it was a good play and go get em again. Harping on TJ3 for his technique is foolish in my opinion.

In track, runners are always taught to not look back at the other runners, you lose your speed. Football is hardly any different in that respect. So many times, football is a game of inches. In man coverage, you need to be inches away from the player without interfering with him. Looking back will cost you inches and create separation.

The greatest WRs time their reaches and jumps at the last moment they can, just to get the edge against man coverage, because they they make a move like that, that is the key for the defensive back to make a move on the ball.

I’m going to agree with you all, and disagree at the same time.

There’s not a player on this team, or next year’s team, who doesn’t have room for improvement. I think Jackson’s effort all season was fantastic. His technique sometimes not so much. We can all debate it the nuances, but I’d be willing to bet Talmadge is well aware of the areas he needs to work on and has his mind set on doing just that.

Our collective lack of productivity has clearly paid off in the grandest of fashion. We are going to Pasadena. Yes, let that sink in. WE ARE GOING TO PASADENA. To be honest, this has not yet hit me-WE ARE GOING TO PASADENA. Wow.

Juju, We applaud your devotion and pure decency throughout the season.

Exactly. Bellotti immediately left for a bigger program after 3 years.

So did Rich Brooks. They only lasted three years. Yep, of course.

He throws around insane comments like that

because if it ever happens he can take credit for it. He’s a west coast Jay Marioti. The only people that respect him are people who think Around the Horn is a reliable source for intelligent sports conversation.

Ugh, Marioti is very annoying as well. Agreed!

But yes, I really didnt know much about Canzano prior to this season. And now I unfortuantely do…

I just can't believe

he is the #1 sports writer in America. That tells you the state sports journalism is in right now. Yeesh. Good thing blogs like this are around.

Clownzano falls flat again

To be expected. He is a secret Beaver fan.

That’s demeaning to Beavers, now I’ve never heard him say anything bad about the huskies

I LaLove my Ducks. Best way to start a new decade imaginable... Oregon in the Rose Bowl January 1st!!!!!

Canzano

With a comment like that it just proves that he is like any others radio talk guy — they have to fill up three hours and make up 99% of what they say. He’s no better than Glen Beck or Lars Larsen or any other pot-stirrer on the radio. Whatever. I’ve learned to ignore him ever since the Dixon stuff.

by kolson82 on Dec 4, 2009 3:51 PM PST reply actions  

Did you know that he has a secret report from a great source that Masoli blew his knee for the season?

Or that we should have won merely 5 games this season?

Also..

I don’t buy the “Canzano is a secret Beaver” thing…I just think he gets grumpy when he can’t write his cynical stories.

by kolson82 on Dec 4, 2009 3:59 PM PST up reply actions  

I dont read his articles often enough to decide for myself if he is a Beaver or not,

Good thing we have ATQ, to get informed Duck related information; without dealing with the Canzanos of the world.

Rob Moseley is also a STELLAR Duck writer. Very well informed, and very trustworthy

Yes, hooray for Moseley...

He’s a great beat writer. I like his stance on never writing about rumor (i.e. recruiting stuff during the season).

by kolson82 on Dec 4, 2009 4:03 PM PST up reply actions  

Moseley is awesome.

 It is comical to me that the Canzanos and the Harrelsons and Canepas of this world get all of the sttention, merely because they write borderline false information rather than true confirmed pieces.

Oh well; looks like Moseley is our diamond in the rough for Ducks football

Holy Hell

that is amazing. The best is the other Beaver fans who just kind of laugh at him. I’m surprised someone didn’t tell him to chill out…was he there by himself?

by kolson82 on Dec 4, 2009 4:02 PM PST up reply actions  

Looked like it to me,

I wish there were two of him; twice the comedy!

But, now we know what CV3000 looks like

Good 'ol CV3000

That’s two years in a row now. The sad thing is he’ll never respect our team, whereas I think a lot of Duck fans are starting to respect what Riley has been doing the past three years.

by kolson82 on Dec 4, 2009 4:11 PM PST up reply actions  

CV?

It's spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-L-I-K-E-A-P-E-R-V"

I thought he was just going to point and laugh at us? Point-and-laugh-FAIL

He can run, he can pass, he is sicker than e-coli. Jeremiah always keeps things rolling.

I could watch this a million times.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE POST THIS ON THE MAIN PAGE.

Life is hilarious.

That’s so funny I just about pissed myself.
