Quack Fix: Is Today's Scrimmage a Final Exam for QBs?

PrintIt's going to be an interesting day. The Ducks scrimmage this afternoon, but the session is closed to the public and media. Supposedly, stats will be released - presumably by Andy McNamara at GoDucks.com - following the scrimmage. At that point speculation should run even more rampant than in recent days regarding Oregon's undecided QB situation.
- Rob Moseley believes today's scrimmage is a final exam of sorts, from which several mysteries will be solved. Of course, Oregon's veteran defense - both athletic and physical - serves as a large barrier...it's going to be a grueling final for both Nate Costa and Darron Thomas.
- George Schroeder is making a prediction. He claims that when all is said and done, Nate Costa, the veteran of the two candidates for the starting job, will be the guy.
- Wednesday afternoon's practice report.
- Is New Mexico catching a break by not having to face LaMichael James on Sept. 4? Maybe not, writes Ken Goe of The Oregonian. Kenyon Barner is ready to carry the load in LMJ's one-game absence. The defense might also have a say in the outcome of that game.
- Dale Newton at the DuckStopsHere blog reminds us that QB play, even by some recent Duck heroes, has not always been pretty. Newton will be holding his breath during today's scrimmage, but not for the reason you might think.
We're closing in on game week, Duck fans. If you find some quality quack, please post in the comments area.

Canzano Lie update?
Has anyone heard anything recently about Canzano, his “inside sources”, or any repercussions of it all?
I think as soon as Bellotti came to the public and said it was jibba-jabba everyone wrote off canzano, but I wasn’t sure
He’s never truly held accountable. Just like last year before the UCLA game using his “unnamed sources” to confirm that Masoli was out for the year with a season-ending knee injury. It turns out to be a lie, but nobody ever does anything about it. Meanwhile, everyone continues to visit OregonLive and read his columns. By writing a bunch of comments, no matter how derogatory, he is getting what he wants. They need page views and he’s bringing them to him, so I doubt anyone there cares if he’s borderline making stuff up.

That's what I fear
And why I rarely visit his articles, and if I do, I post a recap here so everyone else doesn’t need to give him any more page views.
MarineCorps, aren’t you a Chargers fan? If so, go bolts! If not, go bolts!
Yep, I sure am. Myself and caduck go on BoltsFromTheBlue too, but I think we’re both Duck fans first. As for Canzano, I do the same thing. I try to avoid his articles as much as possible, so you posting a “recap” is doing the job because I’m getting the info without having to visit the site.

Thank you for posting general recaps of Canzano columns,
Few of us would like to see Canzano get more page views than he is already receiving.
And as MCD said above, you should go check out Bolts From The Blue sometime. Either MCD or I always end up inadvertently turning game threads into conversations about the Ducks. The head honcho over at BFTB is always amazed how quickly things turn into Duck related discussions.

It isn’t important that he sways public opinion, inform people, or anything like that. He doesn’t NEED to have named sources. He’s a sensationalist, and he does a damn good job at that.
He gets Duck fans/haters, Blazer fans/haters, Beaver fans/haters riled up. It gets people talking, it gets the paper sold, it gets page hits, it gets people to watch his videos, and it gets people to listen to his radio show.
As long as we care what he thinks, and he gets under our skin, he’s accomplished something.

The issue is simple
people read and give him page views and comments. As long as that happens, we’ll be screwed. This is the crux of the issue in sports media today anyway.

the truth about Canzano
Canzano is the dregs of society. He will preach from his pulpit and tell you that he’s just trying to get out the truth. Canzano cares nothing about the truth. This is a man with no integrity. He cares nothing of real journalism, nor of the community in which he lives. All he really cares about is John Canzano. He doesn’t want to report the story, he wants to BE the story. And he’ll make it about himself using the rationale that you NEED him to deliver you the truth in order to be fully informed. And, shucks, Canzano doesn’t really want to do this, but he’s sacrificing himself for the common good (and there are times where I wonder if he doesn’t really believe that). The other thing is that life isn’t really as controversial as Canzano would make it seem. Problem is, without controversy, Canzano can’t pursue his divide and conquer strategy that keeps him in the news, so he has to play fast and loose with the facts. For normal people, stepping all over other people in the name of self-aggrandization would bother them. Their conscience would not let them do it. Clearly, Canzano doesn’t let such minor things stand in his way. He refuses to believe that we criticize him because he is a hack that wouldn’t know journalism if it bit him in the ass. No, we just all have our eyes covered and get upset because Canzano, the shining beacon of truth, tells us what we really need to hear, even if we don’t like it. Normal people would be bothered that nobody respects their work. Canzano doesn’t care as long as he gets page views, the Oregonian doesn’t care as long as they sell papers. People flock to Canzano articles the same way they flock to a dumpster fire, because although it serves no purpose and is a general public nuisance, there’s something about watching it burn. Canzano is a pompous lying asshole. This very subthread is giving him exactly what he wants—we’re talking about him, as if he’s part of the story. Ultimately, as long as he has a pulpit at the state’s largest fishwrapper, there’s not a lot we can do.

here's a question
Why haven’t we heard the results of the tests from the injured/ill football players.
"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
It was front page of the Red Guard this morning
Some fancy pants scientist said that it’s from overworking.
"I have a very strong distaste for Oregon State and Washington. Also Stanford.
but no mention of the test results.

Just scanned the first couple paragraphs.
I was late to work and didn’t get too deep into the article.
"I have a very strong distaste for Oregon State and Washington. Also Stanford.
I'm not sure I'd expect full disclosure to the public
as we’re talking about a medical illness, and medical information is by law confidential.
If there is determined to be a threat to the public health, then a court could override that. But otherwise it’s up to each kid’s parents to decide what they want the media to know.

I'm pretty sure that if it wasn't drugs, we'd know.
"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
If it ends up being blamed on the coach (ie the 'overworked muscles' theory),
then yes, the parents will probably go public with it, and a shitstorm will ensue.
If it ends up being a supplement, injected or otherwise, then we may or may not find out.
But I think it’s still pretty dangerous to assume that if we don’t hear anything, then it’s drugs. Because to be honest, medicinein general is incredibly uncertain. The majority of medical mysteries never get solved.

what I’m saying is that if it wasn’t drugs, I would think at least one of the parents would want to come out and say so….to “clear” both their kid’s name, and their own.

I agree.
Just seemed like that was your premise. (It’s the correct premise, really. The two leading theories are injected drugs and muscle overuse in a hot environment. I just think people in general will assume the doctors have thought of and exhausted every other possibility, so assume the worst even if we don’t truly know.)

For the simple fact that it is hard to get 2 people who can keep their story straight and consistent, not to mention 18. If they were juicing, the investigators will get it out of them, after all these are kids, somebody would crack.

I dunno
something tells me the OSAA isn’t the swinging lightbulb, good cop/bad cop kind of investigative team. And I haven’t heard anything about the police becoming involved. Also, afaik, injecting creatine (which is the only drug mentioned by name that potentially could cause compartment syndrome) isn’t illegal, just really stupid.

All I was saying is that, somebody is going to spill the beans, here. It doesn’t have to be the OSAA doing the investigation, it could be one of the parents, or somebody else. The worst way to keep a secret is to have a secret that is being held by more than one person. Any teacher, doctor, or parent who has had a teenager, quickly becomes adept at spotting inconsistencies in a story, and will ask for clarifying questions. If there is a secret, and I’m not saying there is, it will come out. These are kids, somebody will freak out, or panic, and tell the truth to somebody.

There are few good football players in the west...
While the correlation between success and recruiting rankings is tough to dispute, there is an obvious skewing of stars toward the east coast. Some of the most highly touted players on the west coast this year are only three star players. The south obviously produces talent at a higher rate per capita (check out some of the comments), and have more teams to take advantage of that talent. It would surprise me if the data backed up that fact that more eastern teams “underachieve” according to the recruiting rankings compared to the western teams.

2009 highlight video!
Hey, love the blog guys.
I made a highlight real of Oregon’s 2009 offense. It’d be awesome if you could include it in one of your quack fix posts to get everyone pumped up for this season! It’s better quality than a lot of the other highlights out there, I used HD sources where available.
If you want, you can post it in a fanshot on the right of the home page. That way people can talk about it specifically instead of having it included with the news updates in the quack fix.
Just a suggestion.

Soundtrack is NSFW
Not a bad compilation, but I found the soundtrack to be kind of distracting, with the racial terminology, and other language, not to mention the part about taking Sam Bowie with the second pick, a lot of us are Blazers fans too you know.

Am I too old?
I don’t understand the thought process that goes into selecting a song like that. I know Jay-Z is popular with a certain group of people, but there are a lot of people to whom this is not appealing. I, for example, like watching these videos with my son, and because of the soundtrack, will have to mute this one if we watch it at all. I am not going to encourage him to think that using terms like Mother f-er, and the N-word a hundred times is OK.
I’m not saying it has to be G-rated, but simply that I would be a whole lot more interested if it had a less offensive song. I want to be interested, I really do, but that was a huge turn off for me.

And I like Jay-Z, some of his more explicit stuff not as much, but I like him. But I hate hate hate terrible highlight songs, I like hearing the announcer go crazy because the ducks are too good to handle. If you want music make it background and not noticeable, just filler. My 2 cents, I’ll go back to getting paid to make TV show highlight reels.

"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
Oh of course
Maybe it’s just me, but it seems like a fan video should be targeted to as large an audience as possible. My grandmother loves the Ducks, but she would not love this video, simply for the soundtrack, and that is unfortunate. Hell my dad wouldn’t like it either for that matter. You have limited the appeal to 3 generation right there. Add to that the people who just don’t like the N-word, and highly repetitive cussing. I do like hip hop, and I can take some of the language, but the song also isn’t appealing musically, its repetitive, and uninteresting, and doesn’t relate to football that I can tell. Although I have to admit I kind of shut it out after the tenth N-word, or was it the section where he said Mother f-er 10 times in a row?
The point is though, like Matt Daddy said, it’s a well made video. And I think that’s why it irks me. I want to show my kids, my wife, my dad, my grandmother. I won’t though. Just because the soundtrack is so bad. But maybe I’m just too old.

I can’t say you’re too old. I like to think I’m pretty young, but music that isn’t safe for work can be very limiting, and it can also lead to group focused isolation.
This isn’t a smack to toastercookie. It is a well made highlight video. But youtube video highlights in general are filled with pretty obnoxious music. I can mute it, and I do – 95% of the time because I find most highlight video music is just as bad as Katy Perry, Lady Gaga crap. Yeah, it’s “edgier” and darker sounding but musically, it’s just as shallow. It’s an abused hook with three chords over a progression/rhythm that is vanilla at best. (Actually, Lady Gaga’s noise has even more variety than most highlight music).

Oregon has depth problems!
At least according to Paul Myerberg, who ranked the Ducks No. 8 in his preseason countdown.
I honestly don’t understand the questions about the defensive line. I think it’s going to be better than last year. At DT Bair, Clark, Heimuli, Keliikipi, and Remington lead a deep unit. And at the ends the Ducks have Rowe, Irvin, Turner, and Jordan. Really? 8/9 deep means the Ducks have depth concerns?
Myerberg also questions Oregon’s depth at linebacker. He’s smart.
The only valid question he brings up is wide receiver, where the Ducks don’t have anything proven beyond the top 3.

Rivals thinks LaMichael is the 7th best player in the nation...
Check it out here…that’s above Locker, both Rodgers, and Luck. Interesting.He may be the highest ranked Pac-10 player in their countdown.
The Doak Walker award doesn't agree
http://espn.go.com/blog/pac10/post/_/id/12179/doak-walker-award-blows-it
You could argue the Pac-10 not only has the best quarterbacks in the country, it also has the best running backs.
Oregon State’s Jacquizz Rodgers and Oregon’s LaMichael James both ranked in the top-20 in the nation in rushing last year and have been put on various preseason All-American teams. Two other returning running backs — Washington’s Chris Polk and California’s Shane Vereen — rushed for more than 950 yards. Arizona’s Nic Grigsby eclipsed 1,000 yards in 2008.
If you were to have that argument, you might want to start with the Doak Walker Award, which is given annually to the nation’s best running back and includes only Rodgers on its initial watch list.
Feel free to be stunned.
There are 49 players on that watch list. James rushed for 1,546 yards last year as a redshirt freshman. Only four players on the watch list rushed for more.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
I think Dave said it above...
but those things are so archaic. As odd as it sounds, I actually think with how popular Rivals is today that it might be more of an honor for James to ranked so highly on their list preseason…

If you keep drinking Rockstars, you may suffer a heart attack and die before the game even starts next Saturday.

Yeah, I know, I need to calm down. Man, if they had Rockstar when I was in highschool my grades would have been way better. I had to settle for chugging Mountain Dew when I needed to stay up late working on a paper after several hours of football/basketball/baseball practice, then again to stay awake at school the next day.

Sounds like Hawkins and Williams have done some good things
“(Running back) Dontae Williams had his best scrimmage since he’s been here,” said Kelly, “Daryle Hawkins really showed up today (too). That was real evident. Without having to make an evaluation, those two guys — both Daryle and Dontae — really played pretty well. I think we’ve answered some questions as far as depth things (go).”
Really would like to see Hawkins get some time at WR this year. Could add some much needed depth to the WR corp.

I am really looking forward to watching Dontae Williams play.
It will be fun to have a power back for the full duration of the season.
