Quack Fix: Defense wins the day, Matthews ready to lead, QB battle continues

PrintWith one more summer weekend in the books, we only have one more football-less weekend to endure. With all the news from over the weekend, make sure to hit the jump for your full dose of quack:
- The defense won another competition day on Saturday, beating the offense 138-136. The day also incorporated a "hoot and holler" drill that matched up the offensive and defensive linemen in a situation that resembled sumo-wrestling more than football. In the upset of the day, 230-pounds Dion Jordan beat 315-pound Everett Benyard. The defensive line overall was very solid, and gave the defense an edge throughout the day. For a unit that was thought to be a weakness this season, it could very well be an improvement. But let's not forget to give the offense some love, as it sounds like Chip is going to be getting creative to get the ball to James and Barner. Also, after two weeks of camp, Rob Moseley has his unofficial depth chart.
- The Oregon defense has been very solid throughout the spring (as is expected) and Ken Goe has a profile on middle linebacker Casey Matthews, who has a lot expected of his this year, and will need to step up his play if the Ducks want to make the leap from very good defense, to dominant defense. Matthews has put in the offseason work to do just that. After playing in the Rose Bowl at 240 pounds, he's now at 230, and working to become the vocal leader of the defense. Matthews is responsible that the front 7 is aligned correctly, and he's embracing his role. I'm excited to see what he can do this year.
- The QB battle continues (though will be ending very shortly as fall camp ends Thursday afternoon) and coach Helfrich keeps on getting his guys to improve. Rob Moseley has a piece on Helfrich's work over the offseason (including some notes on his personal life). It sounds like Helfrich has done as good a job as possible in dealing with his QBs, and has been open and honest with both players, letting them know their successes and failures. Oregon's players are also dealing with the QB battle, and like many of the fans, are cheering for both players, though some may be cheering a bit harder for one.
- It was another good weekend for Oregon Ducks in the pros. Andy McNamara has the full run-down, and Rachel Bachman had a profile on Friday on Dennis Dixon and his battle to play for the Pittsburgh Steelers this year. He certainly made a good case over the weekend, going 7/8 for 82 yards and ran for 27 yards.
- Bob Clark caught up with Dana Altman on Friday after the announcement that the Italy trip will not be happening. While unfortunate, we still get a few tidbits from Altman who has been leading practices lately. It sounds like Altman is getting some good point guard play early on, which is an encouraging sign.
- Bill Connelly of RockMNation and Football Outsiders has a piece on how teams have fared after coaching changes. The team most Pac-10 fans will be interested in is USC, and they could be in for a rude awakening.
- Doc Saturday rounded up his Pac-10 week by predicting that USC would win the conference by virtue of a victory over Oregon on Oct. 30th. I just don't see USC (a team led by Matt Barkley and Lane Kiffin) being consistent enough to get through the conference with only one loss. While Hinton doesn't have Oregon to win the conference, he does have a lot of praise for Chip Kelly and Oregon's offense, and seems to be banking on Oregon continuing its production on offense.
Got anything else to share? Leave it below. GO DUCKS!

Offseason Trouble
I was reading this PressBox blog and it reminded me of all of the offseason trouble the Ducks have been a part of. It’s making me question the team’s ability to succeed this season. What do you think?

So, you basically have nothing to say?
Way to take the easy way out and only talk about the suspensions and controversy. Isn’t a preview supposed to be about what a team is going to potentially do, who the play makers are, maybe talk a little about the schedule. It’s amazing nobody in the East knows anything about West Coast football teams not named USC, with such insightful pieces like this filling the intertubes. The most amazing part is that you came over here posted your link and then actually wonder what we think? I think you just wasted my time, that’s what think. Good day sir.

An Interesting Prediction by Doc Saturday about our QB(s)
Do you think whoever starts the Sept. 4th opener remains the starter for the entire season?
Pending injury, I absolutely think we’ll stick with one QB.
it’s spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-A-L-L-W-A-R-M-A-N-D-F-U-Z-Z-Y"
Agreed. Chip has been pretty adamant that we will have one QB, and I hope it stays that way.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
Why, then, is he recruiting so many QBs if he only intends to use one?
He’s coming up with a revolutionary 3 QB offense, of course!
I see no reason why Chip wouldn’t have multiple QBs on the field at once. He’s done it before.
it’s spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-A-L-L-W-A-R-M-A-N-D-F-U-Z-Z-Y"
Not all qbs pan out in college. He probably wants as many as possible because the odds are a qb will break through if he has for. And for the sake of scout teams the better the players are on the scout team the easier Saturdays are
by jcgoducks on Aug 23, 2010 6:29 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions
Recent history suggests otherwise.
Having Masoli for all but one game was the most injury-free season at Qb in recent memory. The year before we went through 4 players. We remember well the Dixon senior season. It’s a near certainty that both Thomas and Costa will get the call. Even likely that either Bennett or Hawkins will see time at Qb, too, although I truly hope not.
I think we could see a QB switch
but it would have to be the case in which the starter is absolutely dreadful over the first handful of games.

I could see the starter getting switched for the PSU game. If you’re gonna make the switch, that’s the week to do it.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
But any QB we have is going to shine for the PSU game. Is that a good place to do that at?
it’s spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-A-L-L-W-A-R-M-A-N-D-F-U-Z-Z-Y"
Its a nice game to get the new starter in rhythm
with no chance of loosing.

Gotta get some game experience before the Stanford game.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
I’d rather, if we’re going to switch quarterbacks, to give the new starter the PSU game to warm into the role, as opposed to throwing them in the fire in Berkeley or Los Angeles
They call him Rags. Where he goes, no-hitters follow.
Addicted to Quack, the home of Tako Tuesdays
For the sake of getting starter reps under limited to no duress, it probably is. If Chip comes out of the Tennessee game lacking confidence in his original choice, I’d rather see him make the switch against PSU as opposed to versus ASU with Vontaze Burfict in the middle of the defense.
I don't deal in hyperbole.
I guess my point is… the PSU game is going to be easy, and not really a good gauge that QB 2 is better than QB 1.
I have no doubt both are going to see field time at PSU, but I have a hard time seeing QB 2 getting told he is going to be the future starter over QB 1 for the rest of the season because of the PSU game.
it’s spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-A-L-L-W-A-R-M-A-N-D-F-U-Z-Z-Y"
I don’t really think that performance in the PSU game will mean anything, and I don’t really think that will be used as much of a gauge for the coaching staff.
But if you’re gonna make the switch, you need to do it early. And giving the new QB a week of practice before PSU, then starting PSU, and then another week of practice before Stanford will be a nice period of time to break the QB in.
By starting a different QB before the PSU game, they’re effectively announcing who will be the QB for the Stanford game.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
The only way the PSU game means anything
Is if we struggle (defined as not putting them away until the 4th) or someone key gets hurt.

New Mexico is our National Championship game!
May we hand you your taints on a silver platter...
So I saw that the lines are out for the first games of the year
Here are the Pac-10 lines (All games 9/4 unless otherwise indicated):
Sep. 2-USC favored by 21 at Hawaii
Sep. 3-Zona favored by 15 at Toledo
Oregon favored by 34 over N. Mexico
Kansas State favored by 1.5 over UCLA
BYU favored by 3 over UW.
Ok. State favored by 14.5 over WSU
TCU favored by 12.5 over OSU
All other Pac-10 games are not yet listed.

"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I don't know about Ok. State
For some reason, we play decent in the first game. Our terrible 2008 team lost by 26 to a very good OSU team and our 2009 team (way terrible) hung with Stanford.
It is a road game though
I’d be surprised if OK State didn’t easily win that one by 21 or more.

Unless the line has moved on bodog they have ucla favored by 1.5. I’d pick the beavs to cover and uw to cover. And zona to cover. All others I would consider a bet off game
by jcgoducks on Aug 23, 2010 6:34 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions
12.5 seems way too wide for that TCU-OSU game. I’m not saying I think Oregon St. wins, but I’d think 5 would be a lot more reasonable.
It is efffectively a road game for OSU
And Riley’s teams have a history of starting very poorly.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I guess my thinking – in agreement with eloomis20 – is that TCU’s m.o. has been to dominate with defense. I certainly like them to win that game, but a spread of 8 or 9 seems more realistic against the Beavers capable offense and relatively decent defense. I suppose this being Katz first game is the wild card.
And for the record…I’ve never been a threat to win the pick ‘em game. So whatever I say, the smart money is to do the opposite. Beavers probably lose by 20 and Wazzu pulls off a shocking upset (which I’d be okay with).
I don't deal in hyperbole.
Have axeperson throw darts at his dartboard blindfolded and we’ll know the answer. I’m pretty sure this is how he won the pick ‘em last year. I’m pretty sure he and that German octopus from the World Cup pick the same way. Either that or he picks the prettier uniform or favorite mascot.
Speaking of uniforms…I was watching the Alabama all-access deal on ESPN the other day. There was some guy going around in the dorm trying to get all the players to get in their own rooms to go to bed. He walks into a room with their QB, who’s playing NCAA ‘11. He is Alabama, but whoever he was playing against was the Ducks. I thought I saw Eddie Pleasant, so I rewound the DVR, and sure enough it was the Ducks. Maybe I’m a little too much of a Duck fan, but stuff like that immediately catches my eye.

I can see TCU winning that game by two TD’s easily. TCU has had a good defense, but their offense was very very good last year, and ranked #4 in the country in S&P+, and really came on near the end of the year (before the bowl game).
They could struggle on offense against the Beavers merely due to the normal opening day jitters, but the OSU D has apparently been not good in camp. TCU could put up a lot of points against that defense.
I think that 12.5 is fair. Seems like OSU has a 50/50 chance to keep it under that.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
Wait you are saying the game is 50/50 on either side of the line?
What a coincidence. There is no way the oddsmakers did that on purpose. (I am being sarcastic towards betting in general, no your comment, you comment was right on.)

Where was Bachmann on this one?
http://www.statesmanjournal.com/article/20100823/SPORTS/8230307/1018
Continuing the trend set in motion by the late Al Reser’s donation to upgrade then-Parker Stadium in 1999, the Beavers have invested in athletics by improving facilities and committing financially to coaches such as Mike Riley (football) and Pat Casey (baseball) when larger programs came calling.
The increase in expenses hasn’t been matched on the revenue side, despite the successes on the field, which include six football bowl games in the past seven years. So like many Division I schools, the Beavers have turned to the university for assistance.
In 2008-2009, 13 percent of athletic revenues came from the university budget, student fees and state support, ranking OSU 12th out of 53 schools from the six Bowl Championship Series conferences in data collected by USA TODAY.

What do you want to see
As our QB battle enters it’s last week? Seeing them so even makes me a little nervous, because we could have two really good QB’s who could both compete, or we could have a starter who never stepped up and really took control of the job. During the summer a few players talked about Costa during interviews, as if he’d already won. How will those players react if Thomas is named the starter this week?
Would you rather see both guys play even right up to the first game, or will you feel better if one QB steps it up this week and looks better than the other in practice?
I wonder how even the QBs actually are. One thing that stuck out to me was a Kelly interview a while ago where he said that he’d never had a competition that one play or the other didn’t win. My feeling is that Kelly has a pretty good idea what he’s going to do, and he’s going to stick with it.

Tyler Thomas has been kicked off the Oregon State football team...
According to information from the Corvallis Police Department, at about 4:51 a.m., police were called to 519 N.W. 14th Street after a 32-year-old woman reported there was a naked man in the upstairs office of her residence.
When officers arrived, they ordered him to get on the ground several times, but he refused.
Then Thomas, who had reportedly been drinking, got into a "three-point stance" and lunged at the officers, who Tased him.
Thomas was booked into Benton County Jail but was released later the same day.
I wonder if the CPD bothered to ask for informationa about a missing ewe?

Straight from the mouth of Jacquizz...
Rodgers got to know James through his brother, James, the Beavers’ All-American receiver. He calls him “a cool guy.”
But really: What does he say when Oregon State fans insist he make his case?
Said Rodgers, “I just say he’s a great running back. I would never say I’m better than the next man.”
Come on, man. You’re taking the fun out of it.

We can just go under them
Like LMJ did to USC last year.

goes for another 16 yards (called back due to holding) with a hurdle over a linebacker.

who would you rather have as a back-up? Derek Anderson or Chris Simms?

Simms. They both suck equally, but I’d rather have someone that isn’t a former Beaver.

Combined no-hitter in the 9th inning for Rangers vs Twins. Rich Harden started it

you really went out on a limb. you mean the batting champ thats hitting like .500 in the last 2 weeks might get a knock off the closer who can’t find the plate? ha ha. just kidding. that’s why betting on individual sports plays should be legal.

Important to note that an impressive 16 yard run was negated by a hold.

Blount looked like an NFL player tonight
I don’t know if he’ll play this year, but I think somebody is going to keep him around and hope that they can develop him into a quality power back. In his earlier games he looked a step slow but tonight he was leaping and diving and really doing his thing. I don’t know if he’s ready to be the #2 back in a place like TN, but tonight he looked good enough to stick somewhere.
I don’t see why he shouldn’t be the Titans’ number 2 back this year. He’s impressed me more than Javon Ringer.

Ringer is a much better pass blocker/pass catcher at this point though
He is in a contract year though and I think someone will pay him to be in a better timeshare than sitting behind Chris Johnson. What’s concerning is that Samkon Gado was signed to replace Stafon Johnson, and he got a lot of run in the 3rd quarter and early 4th before Blount came in.
