Quack Fix: Canzano on Costa, Kelly on Dan Patrick, Anderson leads Team USA

PrintAre we there yet? Here's your Wednesday Morning Quack Fix:
- Following George Schroeder's column on Nate Costa yesterday, John Canzano weighed in with a write-up of his own, but his included an interesting tidbit: Costa has been interning with the Springfield Police Department for the past six months. According to Costa, he chose to keep the gig under wraps, and given all the off-field issues this offseason, I can't say I blame him. Canzano thinks the starting quarterback job is Costa's to lose, and he gives some pretty compelling reasons why. But as Jared said yesterday, I'll enjoy rooting for whomever wins the job.
- Oregon head coach Chip Kelly was a guest on Dan Patrick's radio show yesterday and talked about everything from Jeremiah Masoli to conference expansion to his desire for camouflage uniforms. If you have a few extra minutes, it's worth a listen.
- The defensive line continued to be a hot topic yesterday. Following Aaron Fentress's all-decade polls for both defensive end and defensive tackle, Ted Miller continued his preseason positional preview series with defensive tackles. Meanwhile, Rob Moseley focused on the entire defensive line.
- GoDucks.com has its take on a hypothetical Team Oregon, comprised of all former Ducks currently in the NFL.
- Oregon pitcher Tyler Anderson picked up the win for the Collegiate National Team yesterday, holding China to two hits in five shutout innings and helping Team USA advance to the semifinals at the World University Baseball Championships.

I did a Q&A with Conquest Chronicles. Man, they are touchy about Reggie Bush.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
Remember in 2005 at Autzen?
Remember in 2005 when USC’s Bush Tour came through Eugene? We had those guys on the ropes in the first half….. and well, then the second half started. Bush ran circles around our defense in the 2nd half, it was pretty impressive. I remember when Aaron Gipson picked off Matt Leinhart on their opening drive, and Autzen Stadium absolutely erupted. It was Michigan game 2003 loud. That was a frustrating one to sit through in the third and fourth quarter.
Good Q&A w/the Chronicles…..
Friends dont let friends go to Oregon State, hell, even root for them.

Who is more touchy right now
USC or UCLA fans? Close IMHO.

using an ineligible player is against the rules right? it wasn’t like that ineligible player was 3rd string. he had a small impact in a few games.

As far as I know
using a player that shouldn’t be playing is cheating.
"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
That’s an absurd assessment though. You have to assume that they knew he wasn’t an eligible player. USC and the coaches have plausible deniability in this matter, as the issues took place out of sight, out of mind.
it’s spelled "S-H-U-F-R-E-A-K-I-N-H-E-R-O-U-T-M-A-N"
the way that they went about trying to bury other athletic programs and tap dancing with the NCAA to protect football
someone had to know, imo.
"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
Or they knew that the NCAA is an incompetent bunch of nitwits and went out of their way to lay everything on the table that they “knew.”
My hunch is that everyone sorta looked the other way, as is usually the case. You have a hunch that something is going on, but you don’t ask questions.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
And until recently they would have been right
The NCAA really has been reticent to hit major programs with violations. That may be changing, which is good.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
NCAA’s investigation would have been just as difficult within any other private university. They aren’t required to keep the same types or records. Maybe someone was at fault, but you still have to make a significant assumption that the coaches were aware of Bush’s actions, and they let him on the field anyway.
Furthermore, the NCAA has hardly proven themselves to be capable investigators, assessors, or decision makers.
it’s spelled "S-H-U-F-R-E-A-K-I-N-H-E-R-O-U-T-M-A-N"
but the really blatant stuff
like bush settling his million year lawsuit the night before he was supposed to testify in front of the NCAA
"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’s pretty clear that Bush took improper benefits. That’s really not what’s the issue here.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
That was 5 years after he played at USC.
Nobody is arguing whether Bush did something right or wrong.
To call USC a bunch of cheaters is to make the assumption that the head coaches knew he did something wrong while he was playing at USC.
it’s spelled "S-H-U-F-R-E-A-K-I-N-H-E-R-O-U-T-M-A-N"
Wasn’t the conclusion by the NCAA something along the lines of, “While we can’t say USC, it coaches and administrators DID know what was going on, we can say that they SHOULD HAVE known.”?
Say what you mean, and say it mean. - Clint Ruin
that sounds about right. they should’ve known. if only more agents lived in the Willamette Valley, we’d have a better perspective.
Life is about growth. People are not perfect when they're 21 years old. - Bill Walton
If a player was a middle class student in HS
While being recruited, then suddenly their whole family is driving Escalades, and living in multimillion dollar homes, bells and whistles should be going off. They did do their in home visit, right? They should have some idea what is “normal.” It’s not like he was some scrub, he won a fricken Heisman, the coaches were probably very close to him, they should have seen signs, but probably looked the other way. If you are afraid you won’t like the answer maybe you shouldn’t ask the question. Plausible deniability is a wonderful thing… sometimes.
Say what you mean, and say it mean. - Clint Ruin
I don’t remember. I don’t have the report in front of me. :-)
Maybe they should have known. But without remembering the report, my kneejerk reaction is that they couldn’t have known anymore than Chip Kelly should have known where and what all his players are doing all the time too.
it’s spelled "S-H-U-F-R-E-A-K-I-N-H-E-R-O-U-T-M-A-N"
I think the reason they got the hardcore sanctions (and not just vacation of wins) was because one of their coaches was linked to Bush’s agents. He seemed to be the basis for the sanctions that actually hurt USC.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
While I think it’s debatable whether they should have known, I think noticing a player now driving an expensive car is a lot more reasonable than knowing that your player is currently out at Taylor’s on a Friday night.

Reggie Bush broke the rules, and thus, he cheated. But I understand their general point, over whether this cheating was premeditated by the University. And this is where the main debate lies. And I really don’t care either way.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
I was actually shocked at their response. AtQ and CC communities have been pretty cordial towards each other, until this rather astonishing outburst and reaction.
it’s spelled "S-H-U-F-R-E-A-K-I-N-H-E-R-O-U-T-M-A-N"
And they invited Jt right?
Its not like he came over and started smashing them without warning.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
Q&As happen between the SBNation blogs all the time. When you ask a question, you get an answer. You don’t ask a question you already KNOW the answer to. That doesn’t make sense.
it’s spelled "S-H-U-F-R-E-A-K-I-N-H-E-R-O-U-T-M-A-N"
This is my problem about a couple of the responses there
They invited Jared, asked him his opinion, then attacked him because they don’t like his opinion. It is OK to disagree, but you don’t have to be a dick about it.

calling them “cheaters” is a little harsh i think. but part of the deal in LA, i would think, is that you have to monitor agents, etc a little more closely than they did. if i was a teammates of Reggie Bush, i’d be more pissed at him. i’m sure plenty of players had the option to do the same thing he did but didnt due to loyalty to the team or whatever.
every team knows the possibility of using an ineligible player (thats why Okla St sat Dez Bryant down the week before he was actually suspended and pretended he was injured). whether it’s a High School that using a player that broke transfer rules or whatever, all schools know the deal. I blame Bush first. The school for not keeping better track second and Carroll/the RB coach last.

'Cheat' is a loaded term
but you did phrase that sentence very specifically and carefully, so they did overreact a little. Exactly like we do when someone comes around whining about a lack of discipline in CK’s program.

Canzano
No reason to read his article (don’t give him the page views). Here’s what he said:
I’m the first person to ever expose that Costa has had an internship with the Springtucky PD [not true, read this somewhere last week]
I KNOW that Costa is going to be the starting QB because I “know people in the locker room”
After Masoli we now need the pendulem to swing dramatically the other way, we need a boyscout
My parents have zero faith in me
That’s pretty much all of it. Some of it he actually wrote, some I inferred, you figure out what’s what
I would rec you
for doing the dirty work, but I can’t because of the danger of turning a post entitled “Canzano” green.
this is the same lame argument that people used when Phil won tournaments this year instead of Tiger. The good guy is a good story! unfortunately, i know plenty of d*cks that participate in ride-alongs and as police interns. i’m sure Nate’s a great guy but i don’t know him. sorry but i want the best guy to play. if that’s Costa? great. if that’s DT? great.
do we need a ‘boy scout’? um…no…we need a baller that gets us W’s…all college kids do dumb things. i just hope our players limit their indiscretions to stupid things that are legal…

Even if true, which it isn’t, that is a terrible argument against the skills of the QB.
He only got 3 TDs in a quarter because it was a prevent D? That’s rather impressive as that is the exact type of defense that is suppose to stop results like that.

Great article on Costa. Has everyone seen “Friday Night Lights” the movie? I predict he’ll have a Chris Comer-like season, after Booby Miles went down.
Best reference of the day. I must have watched that movie a million times, came out when I was in H.S. playing ball. "Friday Night Lights" in Oregon is a tad different than Texas but we still had some big games.

Chael Sonnen is on ESPN this morning. He’s an ex-Oregon wrestler. And a ganster. Taking on Anderson Silva this saturday on UFC 117. Smack-talking at its best.
Life is about growth. People are not perfect when they're 21 years old. - Bill Walton
I just wish he hadn’t spent the last few months running his mouth and saying totally ridiculous things. I will never ever ever understand why people, in any sport, continue to talk $hit about the best team/athlete. For those who don’t know, Anderson Silva is pretty much considered the badest pound for pound fighter in MMA. He’s been toying with people in fights lately and messing around and making a lot of people irritated with him. Regardless of that fact, he’s still undefeated since joining the UFC and has been simply destroying eveyone they put in front of him. Sonnen has spent the past few months saying things like Silva’s jiu jitsu black belt came from a crackerjack box, and basically that he’s going to beat him bad. Why poke the bear/wake the sleeping giant/pick your metaphor? The guy hasn’t been challenged in over a year fight while fighting the top contenders. I get that you want to be confident and whatnot, but why give a guy motivation who may have been lacking it? Anyone think Buster Douglas would have beaten Tyson is Buster spent 3 months taunting him? Doubt it.

i’m sure Dana White said something like, “i’ll put you in the ring against Silva but i need people to want to see you.” i’m sure the fight won’t go past around but at least he’s taking his shots. if he gets lucky (which happens all the time in MMA) and wins, he’ll look like Muhammad Ali.

people don’t wanna step up and engage him. In the last fight whenever Anderson would move forward the guy would run back and wouldn’t engage. I don’t fault the Spider for that.

Wait. You’re calling for decorum and civility in the UFC? It’s guys who are paid to have caged bar fights (I do respect their collective skills). MCD, I completely agree with your view, relative to most sports, but isn’t Sonnen just giving the UFC audience exactly what the majority of them want – tough talk and pre-match posturing?
Brock Lesnar brought a little more show to it. Sometimes they literally hate each and just want to fight but aren’t as mouthy as Sonnen has been. It’ll get a lot of people to tune in (at their local watering hole) that might have not paid attention otherwise.

You are right about Silva
I saw a preview today that said best case for Sonnen Silva comes out focused and ends it in the first two rounds. Worst case for Sonnen Silva is in joyful mood and toys with him for 25 mins. Anderson Silva might be the last guy on earth I want to be locked in a cage with while he toys with me for 25 min, it could be bad.
Go Ducks.....Ducks Go!!!!!
the funny thing is Sonnen’s a stubborn, tough guy who keeps coming forward. it might get ugly pretty quick.
Life is about growth. People are not perfect when they're 21 years old. - Bill Walton
That's what I hope
Silva has an awesome stand up game. I wanna see someone go toe to toe with him and actually take his knocks and not be afraid. I keep looking for a weakness in Silva’s fighting but…so far no luck. I love GSP too and I think the same thing is happening with him, people won’t step to him and so his fights become “boring” because no one will step up.
"Legends are made on the shores of Lake Washington...like Jonathan Stewart, and Dennis Dixon."
Silva vs GSP would be scary. i’d love to see the young guy Jon “Bones” Jones get a shot at Silva too. not sure if the weights would match up.

QB Leadership
Honest question: just how important is this “leadership” quality we hear so much about? Everyone talks about a QB taking over the huddle, leading his team, etc. But we see teams do very well with total douchebag quarterbacks all the time. In the NFL it’s common to trash your QB when he goes someplace else, regardless of how many games he won.
Several articles say Costa is leading the team this summer, but how does that translate in the fall? If one guy was bigger and stronger and faster, and the other guy was a “leader”, which one do you put on the field? I’m not saying Costa is not fast or strong, I’m just curious about this mythical quality we hear about from so many writers.
It does seem like costa is being a leader
and frankly, a QB that also is a team leader tends to perform well under pressure because the entire offense believes in him, so they’ll go out down 7 with 1:10 on the clock and bust their ass to get a TD 100% of the time, even if its USF vs Florida
"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
This is actually a great question.
My assessment of it is this. It helps streamline communication, on the sidelines, prior to the snap and during the play.
If you have players that are willing to listen, and not roll their eyes and think “Oh, well… here we go again”.
It also probably helps keep the players’ chins’ up when they are down 21 points when the 4th quarter starts, with more of a “we can still win this” attitude, instead of “No way in hell. We got our asses handed to us.”
it’s spelled "S-H-U-F-R-E-A-K-I-N-H-E-R-O-U-T-M-A-N"
Consider this
Joey Harrington was the consummate leader in college. But put him in charge of a the Detroit Lions, a team of perennial losers who are still millionaires regardless of how they play, and you can see exactly what leadership skills are worth without a team with followership.
That’s right, I said FOLLOWERSHIP.
"Seriously, baby, I can prescribe anything I want!" - Matt Daddy
by HoodRiverDuck on Aug 4, 2010 1:08 PM PDT up reply actions
No doubt. You have to be willing to be a follow a leader. In Detroit, Harrington never did anything to earn respect, and as a result, he was talked poorly in the locker room and to the media by other players.
At Oregon, Harrington showed he was a capable QB when he took the field.
Costa’s “leadership” is likely a mesh between his personality, his position, and his seniority.

so does Duck Nation have a favorite in the QB race or is it split down the middle?
… I gotta admit, I’m rooting for Costa. You’d like to see a kid like that succeed.
Damn, my eyeball tastes good.
I’m torn.
I want to get excited for Darron Thomas. I’ve had a mancrush on that guy since he signed his LOI. But, I can’t help but root for Costa.
A month ago, I would have said Thomas. Now I’m probably more on the Costa camp with a mancrush on Thomas.
it’s spelled "S-H-U-F-R-E-A-K-I-N-H-E-R-O-U-T-M-A-N"
I’m kind of in the same boat. I’d like Thomas to win it just because I’d like to see what he can become with three years at the helm of a Chip Kelly offense.
On the other hand, the more I hear from Costa, the more I like the guy and want him to get his shot. I’m hoping for Costa now.

i nominate that we are “evenly split.” i think most of us are confident enough in the other skill players and defense that we just need the QB to not be Jason Fife.

In my personal opinion,
I would say that a majority (not necessarily a very large one) want and expect Costa to be the starter. Count me in with that group. However, people would also love to see the potentially more athletic Thomas start over Costa. The only reason that there is so much conflict is because neither of these guys have been able to crack the field for more than one game.
