Morning Quack Fix: Ducks Gearing Up; Casey Matthews On Speed; Unger Turning Heads.

Quack's a little late this a.m., but here we go:

  • Rob Moseley yesterday promised us some video about the "gearing up" process for football players. Here it is. He also included about seeing some new faces - and not seeing a few others - as well as news of Rashad Bauman returning as an intern coach. Read on.
  • Moseley also continued his position reviews with a report on Oregon's linebackers. This is a group we can all get excited about.
  • Jason Vondersmith of the Portland Tribune talked with linebacker Casey Matthews about the speed of Oregon's defense.
  • John Hunt of The Oregonian takes a look at Boise State's preparation for the Sept. 3 date with Oregon. Both teams are probably at risk of getting too fired up for this game, if such a thing can happen.
  • Bleacher Report has posted a Strategy Report, looking at the match-up with Boise State. Also, you might be a Duck fan if you're familiar with these...
  • More excitement about Max Unger who's starting his rookie season as a Seattle Seahawk.
  • Here are Andy McNamara's notes about the start of Oregon's fall camp, along with a schedule of key dates. Meet up at a scrimmage anyone?

If you bump into anything else we'd like to hear about please post it in the comments. Go Ducks!

Good God

I just read all the comments from the John Hunt article and they made my head hurt. Seriously.

Yes we will

I get caught in that trap on occasion – reading the always-entertaining comments at OregonLive. It always ends the same…me shaking my head, wondering, why?

I'm really tired of it not being football season.

They hate bread.

Both Boise and Oregon should be disgusted by comments made on that article. Which girls are fatter, who smokes the most meth? Come on. Hopefully neither program is defined by those “fans”.

I can feel it.....

It’s almost here! Most definitely making my way down to Autzen to check out fall camp. Last year’s was a blast!

haz… How is access? Can you basically hang out on the sidelines, or up in the bleachers if they’re on the practice field? Do the players sign autographs after practice? Give us a feel.

Nah, you go right on the field.

The last few years at least have been a just-walk-on-in policy. Don’t get in players’ ways and you’ll be good.

Text me if you want to come down one of these days Jeremy.

Love me some Ed
"I’m looking for balls I didn’t get the past two years," says Dickson, adding that "if we’re in a two-tight end set, I’ll be the tight end in motion, because I’ve got the experience and I’m probably the quicker. I can use my judgment on how to run the route; I used to play wide receiver.

"We can do a lot of with tight ends; it’s a great part of being versatile at tight end. We can all switch out wide receivers. And we don’t have to be limited to catching the ball or playing on the line of scrimmage. We can get a handoff on a reverse. We’ve got to keep our heads on a swivel."

Ed Dickson if you were I comment I would Rec the shit out of you.

I got my new jersey! white with green feathers!
  1. 8 in Green and Yellow….Hot! Had the clerk clip the tags off in the store. She asked, “o you want to wear it?” I replied, “I don’t ever want to take it off.” She said, “GO DUCKS.”

btw, anybody else notice on the Holiday Bowl rebroadcasts, 18 Brazilian inane commercials, and then an announcement and then some more commercials? They didn’t even show the TJ hit on Zac. They seemed to show about a minute and a half of the game and then go to guess what? More commercials. Yukkk!

Awesome!

The one with the yellow piping on the green letters? The WT3 combo?

Damn. Quinn and I were sitting in exactly the opposite end zone corner. No camera love for us. Nice ad.

No, about 30 rows up from your rich-guy seats.
