Quack Fix: Catron says he's "fine," expects to play in Saturday's Civil War
It's Civil War week! Here's your Wednesday Morning Quack Fix:
- It sounds like Joevan Catron will suit up for Saturday's Civil War in Corvallis. Head coach Dana Altman told reporters earlier Tuesday there's a 50/50 chance the senior returns, but according to Catron, he's "fine." The Ducks' leading scorer has been out the past two games with a strained calf muscle and as John Hunt points out, plays a big role in Oregon's offense, so it will be nice to have him healthy and back in the lineup.
- And for those of you whose excitement for Oregon hoops is waning, watch this. That's incoming recruit Jabari Brown posterizing some poor sap.
- In other recruiting news, Oregon verbal commit and local boy Colt Lyerla has been upgraded by Rivals.com to 5-star status, bumping Oregon's 2011 class to No. 6 on Rivals' list.
- Ted Miller lists all former Pac-10 players who will appear in the Pro Bowl in a week and a half. Congratulations to former Oregon star Haloti Ngata, who will be making his second appearance in as many seasons.
- Miller also examines the effect of the "misses" on the Pac-12 schedule next fall. Despite retaining the 9-game conference slate (the Big 12 is the only other major conference to play 9 inner-conference opponents), Pac-12 teams won't play two teams from the other division each year.
- Despite being named Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year, Walter Camp Coach of the Year, Sporting News Coach of the Year, Associated Press Coach of the Year, and AFCA Coach of the Year, Chip Kelly lost out to Auburn head coach Gene Chizik for the Paul "Bear" Bryant Coach of the Year award yesterday. If you're going award Chizik, don't you kind of have to give it to Gus Malzahn too? Just saying...

I was going to post something, but I hate going first so I’m not saying anything.
Oregon Ducks. Undefeated during regular season vs SEC since 1977.
I’ll come in with a buzz kill…while Rivals bumped Colt to 5 stars, ESPN dropped him to three…
How can they be so far off? Recruiting is such a crap shoot.

ESPN's MO...
is that if they aren’t from the South, then they aren’t really worthy of their highest rankings. Obviously California is the exception, there, but I’ve always noticed with ESPN that most of their scouts focus on the southern region. Scout.com focuses a lot more attention on the west coast recruits than ESPN, and Rivals is usually the most balanced.

Welcome to the club, Cody Ross. You can stay at my house.
Anyone know how many starts that our guys on the O-line who return will have???
Many people are comparing their expectations for the LSU game with the fBSU game and I remember that we only returned 19 career starts between the 5 0-linemen. I am too lazy to look up how many starts that Asper, York, Cody, and Weems account for between them in their careers but I’m guessing it’s much more than 19. If anyone could find this I would greatly appreciate it.
Other factors that make the LSU game different than the fBSU game:
1) Won’t be Chip’s first game as head coach.
2) We won’t have the team psyche of “we should beat these guys easily”
3) LaMichael has played in a game before.
4) Robo-Masoli won’t be playing QB
5) Bellotti won’t be on the sideline trying to tell big balls Chip what to do.
Thoughts?

Pac-10 success in the NFL:
Pro Football Weekly and the Professional Football Writers of America have announced their 2010 All-NFL team, and there’s plenty of Pac-10 presence.
Former USC linebacker Clay Matthews was named Defensive MVP, and he led three Pac-10 defenders on the team:
Haloti Ngata, DT, Baltimore (Oregon)
Clay Matthews, LB, Green Bay (USC)
Troy Polamalu, S, Pittsburgh (USC)
Further, an All-Rookie team was announced, and four from the Pac-10 made the team.
LeGarrette Blount, RB, Tampa Bay (Oregon)
Rob Gronkowski, TE, New England (Arizona)
Tyson Alualu, DE, Jacksonville (California)
*T.J. Ward, S, Cleveland (Oregon)
*Ward also was honored for special teams.

Hypothetical for slow thread
I know Chip doesn’t like hypotheticals, but, if Chip was to retire tomorrow, for whatever reason…..
If you could have any coach (NFL or NCAA) take over the Ducks, who would it be?
Jon Gruden...
but seriously, I agree with Aliotti. He’s loyal, he’s been there forever, he’s energetic, he’d keep the staff in tact, etc.

--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
I hope the #1 positive thing Oregon fans took out of last week
Is that Alliotti is one heck of a defensive coach.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
My eye started twitching uncontrollably with the thought of Allowalotti being head coach. He has a ton of redeeming characteristics, and the new D he installed under Chippy is much improved, but I find it hard to believe he is or ever will be head coach material. Listen to him ramble on during interviews and compare that to the best head coaches out there and that is enough for me.
Both gold and muck come out of the same shaft...
Yes, the rambling. Hard to think that he has organized, focused skills when you watch him talk.

I wouldn’t want Peterson or Tedford. Their true colors have already been shown.
Thanks 2010 Ducks for a memorable season
Addicted to Quack
To tell you the truth
I don’t think Petersen would come to Oregon. He just passed up Stanford, and that tells me he’s either
a) Holding out for some ginormous job like Florida, Texas or Ohio State, or
b) Staying at BSU until they bury his cold dead carcass under the blue turf.
I realize the likelihood that we’d get them wasn’t a part of the hypothetical question (becaue I don’t think we get Gruden either), but that’s my two cents on Petersen.
Wasn't he up for the Florida job and showed no interest?
My theory is he knows that Boise success is a mirage and he will fall on his face like every other can’t miss Bronco coach to walk off the blue turf.
I would want Gary Patterson before we took Chris Peterson. Heck, I would rather have Lane Kiffin than Chris Peterson.
It’s spelled "J-A-Y-S-H-O-E-F-E-L-T-J-S-H-U-F-E-L-T"

How about Dirk Koetter?

I'd want Gruden, with Malzahn running the offense.
Am I greedy? Yes.

Welcome to the club, Cody Ross. You can stay at my house.
Do you really think that Auburns coaching staff was just that good, or was it just they had the best player hands down in the country playing for them. I am interested to see how well they do next year.
I’m kinda with you. Without taking anything away from Chizik and Malzahn, it doesn’t seem like Auburn’s playbook was anything special. Newton accounted for 50% of their rushing TDS and had 30% more carries than their starting running back. They could be excellent coaches…or they could just be guys who were smart enough to ride Newton’s coattails.
I’m not a Chizik fan, but Malzahn is a smart and creative guy. If he didn’t use Newton like he did, he would have been dumb. Look at his other work outside of this year.
It’s spelled "J-A-Y-S-H-O-E-F-E-L-T-J-S-H-U-F-E-L-T"
True. But when I think of their success this year, Terry Porter’s response to Phil Jackson dissing the Spurs’ championship in the shortened NBA season plays in my head:
“I’d like to seem him try that Zen s*** in Vancouver.”
I agree, but the same could be said for Kelly too
It’s not just about the coaches, or just about the players, it’s about the coaches putting the players in a place to succeed and the players executing.
In this case, I think Oregon has superior talent and Malzahn has shown the ability to put players in a place to succeed, much like what he did at Auburn.

Double Secret Hypothetical
Which of the following running backs is the MOST expendable (transfer-wise)
Seastrunk
Williams
Carson
Benzduck: ATQ's historian since 1894
Seastrunk
If for reported devotion if nothing else. Second factor would be that his running style is likely most closely related to LMJ’s and Barner’s of the 3. That and we are set at kick and punt returner for at least 2 more years (no way Barner leaves early).

Especially since we have Blackmon, Sumler, et al coming in...
not to mention Keanon Lowe just sitting there as redshirt frosh waiting to be unleashed. I agree…Seastrunk is the most expendable. BUT, I do not want to see him leave. I want to see him unleashed as well.
"Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do" -- John Wooden
I really want to see him stay too. I think he could be an absolute force as a sophomore...
and junior if he stays. If he stays he will get the ball next year. He will play a lot if he works hard this off season and strives to learn the playbook and be able to catch passes out of the backfield.

Keenan Lowe is the real deal.
Scored 6 touchdowns in the Oregon state championship 6A football game in a ‘losing’ cause. Against Curtis White’s Sheldon team. Look it up on line. I think he had 5 rushing TDs and 1 receiving and caught a lot of other passes besides. Fast, determined, had committed to Washington cuz OR didn’t offer cuz they didn’t have skolly. I think he got the SoCal tweeter’s skolly, the guy who vilified Chip and got 86d. White and Lowe were good friend and White asked him to reconsider so he stiffed the Fuskies and that’s another reason to love him.
"What you are entrusted to do as a coach is to create an environment where your players have a chance to be successful." CHIP KELLY
I think the deal with Lowe
was that he wanted to play WR. For a long time UO only wanted him as a DB, and UW recruited him as a receiver. Once UO finally came around and told him he could play WR, it went a long way to causing the switch.
I guess the question was about RB's...
but I think of Seastrunk as more of that Huff/Barner TAZR role.

No way CK trades Williams for a couple of SEC DTs. He’d have to throw in Tuinei, and with his injury history nobody would take him.

"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
My only thought is that he has been told he's not goint to play much next year
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
No way he gets drafted. He barely even played this year.
I would be curious to see how many snaps he played. I bet it is pretty close to the same number as say Ricky Heimuli. There has to be something weird going on here. Maybe he was about to be academically ineligible. I can’t see the coaches telling him he wouldn’t play much given the rotation we started using this season on defense.
by NICKPAPAGEORGIOTHEDUCK on Jan 19, 2011 11:00 AM PST up reply actions
Not likely,
but is it possible that he thinks this year’s crop of safeties is less competitive, so his shot at getting drafted is greatest this year?

Lewis went from 4th on the team in tackles in 2009, to 17th this year. It would make sense to guess that this is definitely playing time related. And with all the young talent in the secondary, he won’t be seeing more playing time in 2011.

It’s spelled "J-A-Y-S-H-O-E-F-E-L-T-J-S-H-U-F-E-L-T"
There’s nothing wrong with aiming to be a scout team player. We’re so used to seeing guys leave for the millions but that isn’t in the stars for everyone. Maybe he’d rather make a living being a scout team / special teams / backup guy in the NFL or CFL or something like that then go back to school. If he wasn’t going to contribute much anyway and was already wrapping things up academically then it’s hard to fault him for trying to move on with his life now instead of next year.
Hedging his bets on a lock-out
And games with “replacement players.”
"What the hell was that?"
"Spaceball One, they've gone to plaid!"
He's Done (guess)
He redshirted in 07, so he might have already graduated, or about to, and decided to blow off his last year of eligibility for a quick pay check at a NFL camp for the summer. Couldn’t hurt.
Does this give us another scholarship for this year in recruiting or do we have to wait until next year?
We probably can give it to a walk-on or non-scholarship player
That was on the team already this year.

Would a coach ever get on the phones to plug a recruit after something like this happens? Wasn’t Wazzu interested? I’d hope that Chip does what he can to help the kid out since he thought he had a ride coming. Once again, this isn’t the SEC.
Dislike
I really don’t like this. You offer a kid, he accepts, it’s a done deal. I know that he’s not our highest rated prospect by any means, but it’s a bad precedent.
I am too lazy to look for it
But I read an article saying his offer was conditional all along and he understood that.
"What the hell was that?"
"Spaceball One, they've gone to plaid!"
that makes it not as bad then
still hope he ends up somewhere good. Hope the WSU rumors are true. That would be a nice landing spot.

Someone want to explain to me why OSU wouldn’t be interested in an up and coming 3* LB? Looking at their Rivals page, they have one LB and aren’t even going after this kid.
I know it’s Corn-Valley and who the hell would want to spend more then 10 minutes there, but why no interest in a kid who’s obviously shown interest in coming to the state of Oregon. Lord knows they could use some upgrades at the LB position.
Thanks 2010 Ducks for a memorable season

It really sounds like it had to have been a conditional offer.
It really isn’t all that typical to pull a scholarship on a whim like this.

We’ve done it before. All schools do this to some degree.

I know it comes with the territory
But it’s still dirty business.
Maybe
Academic issues are worse that reported in this clip and the Duck’s can’t take a chance that this kid might get things in order.
Both gold and muck come out of the same shaft...
Doesn’t sound like it. Sounds like we pretty much just pulled his offer.

This is an awesome documentary - but I think the Blazers may want to watch it and take a few pointers.

My wife organized an ADA event at UAA, at which he spoke. We had dinner with him and his family, he is a pretty cool guy. He’s an engineer, and was picking my brain about cold weather building techniques.

Are you just using fancy building jargon that means "Igloo"?
Don't all people up there live in Igloos?

Oh yes we love the quitter
Say what you want about her politics, but her resume is undeniable, she has held 2 public offices: Mayor of a Town with a population of 10K, and she also had a gig as Governor, which she quit. Apparently she quit to spare the state the expense of having to respond to several investigations into her abuses of power, including having the Todd sit at her desk and direct her people, firing the Director of Public Safety (the head of the State Police) because he refused to fire her former brother-in-law without cause, among other things.
Damn it, you guys got me to talk about her again.

This is really OT
But this guy is fucking awesome
