Quack Fix: Barner returns to practice, the competition for the second CB spot and the basketball team postpones Italy trip

PrintLots of news from practice yesterday so let's get right to the quack this morning. Enjoy.
- The big news from practice yesterday was the return of Kenjon Barner and he made his presence felt when he turned a short pass from Nate Costa into a long TD. Ken Goe noted that Barner "looked to be in midseason form" and includes a few quotes from Chip Kelly. Meanwhile, Andy McNamara tabs the second-team linebacker group of Michael Clay, Bryson Littlejohn, and Boseko Lokombo as having won the day for how well they competed together. And, Chris Courtney writes that the QB battle was again relatively even between Nate Costa and Darron Thomas. Finally, Moseley offers his thoughts on how both QBs fared yesterday.
- Ken Goe writes on the competition for the second cornerback spot and says that John Neal may even rotate multiple players through the position. Either way, it looks like the Ducks will have a lot of capable players in case the defensive backfield goes through a similar rash of injuries as last year.
- Moseley also has an article on the search for the second starting cornerback and notes that Chip Kelly is looking for someone who will be dependable: "The biggest thing with the corners for us is, who can we trust back there, and who’s not going to get the ball thrown over his head? It’s not about making the spectacular play and the tackle in the flat, if you’re letting guys run by you".
- Jason Vondersmith wonders which players will step up to fill key reserve roles for the wide receiver position. Vondersmith (as well as Costa and Thomas) appear to favor Justin Hoffman and Josh Huff to make an impact this season.
- Ted Miller lists the big-play playmakers from each team and Oregon is the only team where two players get the nod.
- In basketball news, Coach Altman has decided to postpone the planned basketball tour of Italy until next season over concerns about having enough healthy bodies to compete. The Ducks would have made the trip with only nine players, including Joevan Catron who missed nearly all of last season and is just now starting to practice again. Honestly, I can't say I am surprised by this decision. Bob Clark brings up an interesting point in whether the Ducks will suffer any penalties from the NCAA for practicing for a trip that they called off days before they were set to depart.
- Finally, the Nashville Fox affiliate has a video story on Peter Sirmon serving as a graduate assistant on Tennessee's coaching staff.
Go Ducks!

Is anyone else rather concerned about the kicking game?
I remember sitting on the plane after the Rose Bowl and a warm trip in January in L.A., looking at the 2010 depth chart. This is of course before the team starting lighting up the newspapers with police reports, and in a conversation with some random Ohio State fan over the 4hr flight back to D.C. we were in agreement that Oregon would be a pre-season Top 5 along with Ohio State. We joked about a rematch in Glendale for the Title Game.
The one thing that jumped off the page to me besides replacing Dickson’s playmaking ability and finding a second CB, was the lack of experience in the kicking game. Jackson Rice did a nice job at punter and that wasn’t really the concern. It was our ability to have an accurate, consistent, and dependable big leg. I remember Oregon State going into LSU a few years back, and throwing away a victory in Death Valley because of THREE MISSED extra point tries. They lost by a really slim margin.
I have not attended any practices and have only read what’s out there on respective blogs, and media reports. It sounds like the freshman and Beard have been inconsistent. It’s only fall camp, so of course the freshman have only been there for a short time and they will have a learning curve. We all know Beard has a real powerful leg, but he’s been very unpredictable from what I can piece together w/various reports.
You guys concerned about our kicking game as we approach the 2 week mark until the opener at Autzen? Maybe I’m being hypersensitive.
Friends dont let friends go to Oregon State, hell, even root for them.
by WashingtonDCduck on Aug 20, 2010 8:40 AM PDT reply actions
No, you’re not hypersensitive. I feel the same way. Yeah, the freshman has only been there a couple weeks, but kicking isn’t like being a RB, where you have really learn the playbook. For the most part, you line up and kick the damn ball.
I’m concerned, but I’m hoping it’s just jitters. Or that the bad being reported is outweighed by the good that’s NOT being reported. We’ll see.

I'm very concerned.
In camp both kickers have made kicks where you go “Ah, he could win the job” and then the next kick hit a knuckler that lands in the endzone that makes you go “Buh?”

I vote Mallard, because the vertical on Jolivette’s helmet was AWESOME.
I was at that game, sitting in section 17 about a third of the way up and had a real good view. Saw the mouthpiece flying and everything. Never saw anything like it before or since.

I remember watching that game, and I’ve never forgotten that play. TJ’s hit is probably more violent, but Mallard’s was just more memorable. The explosion of football gear after the hit just left a lasting impression in my mind.

This is one play that I can see clearly in my mind. The Ducks were kicking off away from the student section, and I remember seeing the coverage unit go down, and all of a sudden you hear a CRACK and just see an object go flying straight into the air. I distinctly remember wondering whether his head might still be inside, the force of the hit was that loud. Just incredible.

WOOOOO
Quoting word-for-word from the ESPN ticker since I can’t find a link
Former Oregon coach and current ESPN analyst Mike Bellotti denies Oregonian report that he was punched in face by former Oregon RB LeGarrette Blount during a fight in practice in 2008. Bellotti says there was a scuffle among players that resulted in loud jawing and pushing, but there was never a punch thrown by Blount or anyone and nothing struck him.
"Our expectations are to win every game we play. I don’t know if that’s ever going to happen .... but no one ever rises to low expectations." --Chip Kelly
Now let’s get LeGarrett Blount to sue Canzano and the Oregonian for defamation.

I hope ESPN, Blount and Bellotti all go after him and the Oregonian for completely irresponsible journalism that is nothing more than an attempt create controversy (good grief, it’s like the Oregonian can’t go a week without writing some hit piece against Oregon.

He has a great POV on it, not ruling out either side, but he makes a great case for whatever sources there might be just being confused.
Frankly, as soon as the Oregonian declined to attempt to contact/interview Blount or Bellotti (or Byrd or Boyd for that matter), the whole story goes null and void IMO

Not surprising...
I think it would be different if Blount still played for Oregon and this just happened in practice; however, it seems that Canzano is the only one who hasn’t moved on. It seems that the rest of the Oregon media has moved on and is looking forward to writing about the players that will actually play on the field next month. I love how JC hides behind the usual “it’s a story that I can’t ignore” tripe. Are these people really surprised that their medium is dying? They have inarticulate “columnists” (not journalists) writing opinions, but trying to pass them off as a real story with sources. Ridiculous.
For Canznao, though, it won’t go away…his story easily hit over 180 comments within the day, and as long as people continue to give him that kind of attention, he will continue to write these kind of articles. The best we can hope for is that Canzano pulls a Jay Marioti and disses the newspaper industry and leaves to go write for an online outlet.
I haven’t read the comments of his latest post, but I have in the past I wouldn’t be surprised if JC simply responds to everyone’s comments and criticism with lame straw man arguments/rebuttals. What a joke.
The season can’t start soon enough…I wonder how many sources will tell Canzano that LMJ’s recent “tweak” of the knee is actually a torn ACL.
Breaking news!
From The Onion:
Ochocinco, Owens Preparing Touchdown Celebration Opera
CINCINNATI—Bengals wide receivers Chad Ochocinco and Terrell Owens reportedly stayed late after practice Tuesday to begin writing the libretto and music for, and start preliminary blocking on, a new touchdown-celebration opera. “Me and T.O. have both been working really hard on these tight arias that really capture the awesome feeling of scoring a touchdown,” said Ochocinco, attaching a Phantom Of The Opera mask to his helmet. “And the Italian lyrics sound so romantic and kind of sexy, not like that German stuff. The good thing about T.O. is that he sings in this rich, full baritone, but he can also go up into head voice and sing in this sweet-ass falsetto. It’s good shit.” Owens, who is currently attempting to secure a block of seats near the end zone for the orchestra, said the touchdown-celebration opera would be two hours and 30 minutes in length, with one short intermission to allow for costume changes.
When I read this article all I could think of was this video.
Might actually watch the NFL if it was.

It's one thing to be a troll and just be antagonistic to get a reaction.
It’s another thing to wax superior when simply arguing from absolute ignorance.
My yoke is heavy.
I just threw up a little...
I’m listening to the Pardon the Interruption podcast (I like Dan Le Betard…), and Le Betard and Bob Ryan talked about the Blount thing; to introduce the segment on Blount, Bob Ryan says: “John Canzano, a very reputable reporter, from the Oregonian reports…”
Sheesh…I guess I deserve it for listening to PTI, hehe.
Oregon has shown interest in a Knoxville RB.
Duke, Georgia Tech and Oregon have also expressed interest in Young.
Crazy seeing kids that I used to play youth sports with go on to stuff like this.
The kid is legit. I’d love to see him as a Duck. Check out what he did tonight.

Chip Kelly doesn’t just want to win the Pac-10 at football, he wants an all-world track team too. How many blazing running backs do we need?

Hopefully he just won’t go to the Furd…He’s drawn a lot of comparisons to Darren Sproles. I think he’d be a slot receiver as well as a running back.

Another sheep goes missing in Corvallis
Apparently a prize ewe was stolen from the Benton County fair and there is a $5,000 reward. Did anyone check the Oregon State locker room?
