Quack Fix: Injuries take center stage as Oregon prepares for Colorado
by ntrebon on Oct 18, 2011 6:50 AM PDT
Email
PrintIt's another quick hit fix today. Enjoy!
- Moseley's feature today looks at the wide receivers and how well they have handled their blocking duties this season.
- Aaron Fentress examines when coaches should replace the starters in games with big leads.
- Fentress also writes that there were no official updates on LaMichael James or Darron Thomas after yesterday's practice.
- While Oregon has had its own injury concerns this year, Colorado lost two more players (linebacker Doug Rippy and running back Rodney Stewart) to injury last weekend.
- Ted Miller has Oregon atop his conference power rankings this week. He also has Phil Steele's midseason All-Americans and All-Conference teams with several Ducks named. He also writes on the Thomas injury situation. And, the Oregon-ASU game earns several mentions in his weekly rewind.
- Bob Clark notes that dealing with injuries at the QB position seems to be a theme this season. Oregon also remains second in the north division in his weekly conference rankings.
As usual, don't forget to check out the video after the jump featuring Chip Kelly after practice on Monday.
Go Ducks!

We offered recent USC de-commit & one of the top recruits in the country Arik Armstead today
Let's hope he takes a visit...
It would be great to get a few players with that kind of athleticism and size.

OT:
Carson Palmer is traded to the Raiders for 2 high draft picks a 1 & a 2 that can turn into a 1. There backup option was Vince Young:(
Wow
Mike Brown really came out smelling like roses on this one. Everyone was banging on him about the Palmer debacle, but Dalton has been pretty good and the Bengals have surprised many.
KU fans-how I hate thee!
Yeah the Bengals have been better then I thought they would be, I thought they would be one of the front runners for Luck

The real question for me is if the Colts would hold onto that pick.
Or do they draft Luck, season him as Peyton’s backup for a year or two and then hand over the reins.
They clearly have a lot of needs elsewhere, so could draft for that or trade for it.

Or he might never be the same again. It’s a gamble. If you’re convinced Manning is back to 100% and should be for the next few years, you deal the pick. But if there’s any sense that Manning might not fully recover, you have to draft Luck and play the Rodgers/Favre game for a couple seasons.

"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
Why do you guys (and gals)
think Hoffman is starting over Vaughn?
Just guessing I would say blocking.
This is what Mosely discusses at length in the link above
I think that Oregon is really focusing on the run and passes to the RB this year even more so than last. I’m not sure this is because we don’t have the receivers we had last year or a strategic shift but an emphasis has been placed on blocking WR over speedy ones.
That being said, great to see Huff’s manhandling of his DB on that DAT TD. If Huff can continue to block like that while being the vertical and leaping threat he is he will be a major weapon on both running and passing downs.
Huff has really been improving since he’s been healthy. Unfortunately, he had 2 big-ish drops against ASU. If he gets that cleaned up, he’ll be money.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
I do hope he limits his drops
Since he’s like the only receiver that can get some YAC on our receiving corp
God, that 2nd one was such a great throw...
"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
Yeah, those drops were 50/50-esque
but Huff didn’t seem prone to drops last year and has made some really good ones this year, I think they were just a fluke
This year, yes...
I mean we’ll always ask out WRs to be outstanding blockers (it’s how they earn playing time), but look at the skill and speed that is redshirting this year. We’re going to be lethal at WR in a couple years if those guys pan out.
"Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do" -- John Wooden
Because they play different positions. Vaughn is Huff’s backup.
It's spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-W-O-O-Z-Y".
"YOU ARE THE KING OF THE AWESOME GUYS, JSHUFELT!!!" - daisyduck
Surely Vaughn could be more productive from that spot than Hoffman, except perhaps blocking.
/stopcallingmeshirley
Unfortunately, the receivers aren’t quite plug-n-play in our offense.
It’s hard stretched for me to see Hoffman being better than Vaughn, but the coaches have their little tests to help show where the players are best at.

Here's a question
Anyone else think Beard might not be hurt/disciplined/etc., but may have just lost his job to Maldonado?
"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
Beard has a much stronger leg though
I worry about anything over 50 with Maldonado, and I would like to see kickoffs going into the endzone again rather that some of the kicks we see landing around the 20 at times.

Kickoffs are the biggest difference I see. I don’t remember the last kicker we had who could consistently put the ball in the endzone.
25 Jared Siegel
He’s the last great PK we had and that was 10 years ago. That dude had a hell of a leg and I think could still be kicking in the pros had he chosen to go. He holds most of the Oregon PK records and at least for a time was oregon’s all time leading scorer, don’t know if that still stands or not. I’ll never forget his 57 yard FG at UCLA to win the game. I want more of that from the kicking game.

Back in the day, we had great kickers and punters consistently
Including a couple with NFL careers in Bidwell and Tommy Thompson.
The last 10 years, not so much. Probably just luck.
It's also hard to evaluate punters and PAT/FG kickers in CK's scheme
Because he rarely bothers with them. I like Jackson Rice a lot, but I want LSU’s punter. That guy is a boss.

I really like Rice
He can boom the ball 61 yards down field or he can stick the ball on the 5 yard line. I mean seriously? Did you see the punt on saturday that he stuck like a golf shot? That ball bounced right in front of me, straight up and just settled down on the 5 yard line perfectly. I’ve been very, very pleased with our punting this year all around.

Are you using the prewashed or non-prewashed variety? Quinoa has a starchy coating that needs to be rinsed off.
They usually aren’t marked either way and often don’t state in the directions (if buying in a box) you have to rinse it. I’m never sure, so I always rinse it in a small strainer until the water runs clean. I buy it in the bulk foods section at Whole Paycheck.
My favorite way of prepping it is to toast t in a dry pan for 6-8 minutes (longer for rinsed varieties, as they will still be wet) on med-high until the seeds start to pop. I will sometimes toast a large batch and store it. A friend recently told me you can cook it in a rice cooker. It’s super easy that way, but i only if you have a rice cooker that has removable parts that are easy to wash.

Rice is about as good as you can get.
That’s why some are putting him on A-A lists. Distance, touch, whatever, he has it.

I feel like there is another kicker since Jared Siegel that was crazy good, but his name is escaping me.
It wasn’t Martinez, though he had a strong leg, and seemed to make everything over 40 yards.
I still like Matt Evenson, because when he DID kick the ball in bounds, he seemed to always make the freaking tackle at the 22 yard line.

I have also noticed this
but our coverage still seems to take returners down inside the 25 despite it. I wonder if Maldonado gets more hangtime even if he doesn’t kick as far.

by Honka Playboy on Oct 18, 2011 12:35 PM PDT up reply actions
No, it's actually quite easy to do on kickoffs as well.
Kickoffs will generally have less hang time than punts, but go even further. If a kciker drives one low and the returner catches it 2 yards deep, but the hangtime was barely over 3 seconds, then they are going to run it back and have to make their first move at ~20 yard line anyways….plus they have a head of steam.
If, on the other hand, a kickoff drops in at the 5 yard line, but the ball was in the air for 4 full seconds, your entire kickoff team is 10 yards closer to them.
I don't mean to impose...
Sure, but I've always heard the term "outkicking coverage"
as a punt that is too long, not too fast. Low line-drive kicks get coverage teams in trouble all the time. But the principle is the same, I suppose
scrappy
by Honka Playboy on Oct 18, 2011 1:42 PM PDT up reply actions
I guess from my vantage point
Maldonado has been consistent on his kickoffs with a hang-time that is better than Beard (who kicks more of a line drive IIRC), and was a more accurate kicker in fall camp than Beard to begin with.

by BigGreenWreckingMachine on Oct 18, 2011 2:30 PM PDT up reply actions
You are right, although there is a distinct relationship between how far the ball can be kicked and how long it should hang in the air. If you boom a 60 yard punt, but hang it in the air for 5 seconds (which is looooonnnnnnggg), you are not really out kicking your coverage (add another 1.5 – 2 seconds from the snap of the ball to the kick and you are looking at 6.5-7 seconds for your gunners to cover those yards).
The same thing is true of kickoffs, and I know that in practice, kickers usually have ‘targets’ they are trying to hit both for length AND for hangtime. So a kickoff that reaches the endzone but falls short of the time target is considered to be poor. (All this is to say, it is very possible that Maldonado isn’t first and foremost trying to put the ball in the endzone.)
I don't mean to impose...

"I love Oregon's obsolete recruiting report on an unhealthy level. Just more proof how balla Chip Kelly really is." Dr. Saturday
It’s somewhat a mirage. I’m sure their rush D is solid, but they’ve also laid the beatdown on most teams they played. You have to figure those teams are primarily passing in the second half.

I doubt their run D is any better this year than it was last year, and I think I recall us doing okay against them in the run game.

Musberger was fantastic in his day, but he’s lost that lovin’ feeling.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
The main problem I have is that he seems to have decided not to learn anything new about football in the past 10 years or so. One of FishDuck’s videos shows him calling the zone read a QB keeper. And there are countless other examples of it. You’d think that if your job was to call college football games, and some new concept was introduced, you’d take 30 minutes out of a day at SOME point and watch a video. Or hell, TALK TO CHIP KELLY during the week leading up to the game.
To be fair, this is the case with a whole lot of commentators. I can see why they might not know about it when it’s brand new, but at some point you’d think they’d have to learn about it. I mean, when there’s some thing being discussed in a meeting at work and I don’t understand what’s being discussed, I’m breaking out my phone and Goggle-ing it. At the very least I’m looking it up after the meeting. And I’m doing so because it drives me insane not to know. I can’t even imagine not knowing some concept as integral as the zone read is to college football in my own job and not going out and learning about it on my own so I don’t sound like an ignoramus.
by MarineCorpsDuck on Oct 18, 2011 12:02 PM PDT up reply actions
I don’t have a problem with Musberger saying it was a QB keeper, because it kind of was. Maybe not in terms of it being a designed run, but he elected to keep the ball on the option. It’s not like he called it a quarterback draw.
I have problems with Musberger saying “This is for all the tostitos!”
Also, our pace presents a challenge for all announcers.
Despite that, I think he is a bit past his prime.

Meh. Are you saying that you think that he knew it was a zone read and he read the defensive end and kept it? Or are you just arguing semantics? Because I feel like him saying it’s a QB keeper is either because he thinks it was a designed run. There’s no way to prove or disprove what he thinks.

To be fair to Musberger, I think he knows about the IZR etc
but he isn’t there to tell you about details or nuance, and 85% (/randomassnumber) of people watching don’t care about IZR vs keeper, they just want to hear that sweet old man sportscaster voice call out what they see.
He’s also seen Herbstreit break it down a gazillion times.
…and continues to call it a QB keeper. Whether he understands it or not we’ll never be able to prove either way. Either you are correct and he understands it and continues to call it the wrong thing (it may kinda be a QB keeper, but it’s not a QB keeper), or he doesn’t understand it – either way my point is that he (and many others in the national media) don’t call it what it is, despite it having been around for a long time and despite it being their job to know it.
I think he does, but I don’t think he’s quick enough to recognize it when it happens. But I don’t think most people are. Everyone in my section knows "Thomas should have kept that one!" but they didn’t see what Thomas saw.
I don’t think expecting someone to know that Oregon is running a zone read is anywhere near diagnosing, on the spot, whether or not the QB made the correct read.
by MarineCorpsDuck on Oct 18, 2011 1:09 PM PDT up reply actions
It doesn’t make sense why it would be a big deal or that it’s incorrect. When teams ran a triple option/wishbone offenses, everyone called it a QB keeper – or an option keeper. Out of a spread, when he keeps the option, it isn’t?
I don’t think expecting someone to know that Oregon is running a zone read is anywhere near diagnosing, on the spot, whether or not the QB made the correct read.
I think it is. Because it’s still making a call out of ignorance. There was a run where Barner got ate up and tackled for a loss. Everyone said Thomas should have kept it when it wasn’t even a zone read option – you can tell because Thomas was just looking at handing the ball off.
But I can see your point. Musberger isn’t analyzing. He’s just making the call as seen. This is actually something I think FishDuck kinda needs to chill out about. He rags on media members and their incorrect calling of something – but he admittedly spends HOURS looking at footage and breaking it down. It’s extremely arrogant of him to take shots at people making play-by-play and color commentary when they have to look at something once (and look at it live), and comment on it. (Don’t misunderstand me, I respect the hell out of the guy, and I love the videos and articles he’s been doing, especially since his site went up)

I had a few sentences as a rebuttal, but I’m just going to stop now because debating semantics makes me tired as shit. It only bothers me that the announcers don’t get the shit right because it’s somewhat condescending…like saying, “I’m not going to bother learning this spread offense thingy because it’s just a fad and can’t beat smash mouth football and get off my lawn”. I’m too tired to debate whether identifying a play is the same as identifying whether the mechanics of that play were identified and executed correctly without seeing a single replay.

because in Japan absolutely every product that is in anyway trying to be cool is in English, because English and America is super cool.
Japan effectively has 4 alphabets: Chinese symbols(the first character in the line below “Menudo”), 1 alphabet for Japanese words (the 2nd character), 1 alphabet for foreign words(the rest of that line) , and the Roman alphabet.

'09 Arizona
I remember very clearly when I knew musberger was done, the 2009 Oregon Arizona game, herbstreit was sick and off his game. The defining moment was when they showed the replay of the FG bouncing through the uprights and all we got was silence and as the ball goes through the upright, musberger manages a “doink”. It was awesome and horrifying all at the same time. Madmike’s replay has it.
Funny, I don't remember Mushberger ever being "fantastic"
At best he was tolerable.
I still can’t get over him continually calling Walton the “MOUNTAIN MAN!” during the ’77 playoffs.

I dont.
The game will stay close until the second half. In the second half, UW’s pass defense will get exposed, and then some. If Stanford actually had good receivers other than tight ends and Owusu (who doesnt seem to do anything consistently), they would win by 30.
I feel bad for Colorado. They are the new WSU.
UW's D is one of the worst in the country
They allow almost 6 yards a play. They’ll eventually get stopped enough on offense and get blown out.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely

how would this play out.
UW beats Stanford, we lose to Stanford and beat UW. I’m pretty sure we would still go to the championship game.
"Last time I checked, there is no ‘Hall of Average.’ " Chip Kelly
Wouldn’t Stanford go in that scenario? Assuming everyone else wins out. I would think that Stanford would get the tiebreakers since they’ll only have one loss while we would have two, as would UW.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
I thought the conference records are the only indicator.
"Last time I checked, there is no ‘Hall of Average.’ " Chip Kelly
No, there are further tiebreaker scenarios. I’m not sure what order they are in, but in this case, with each of the top three teams having one loss, to each other, all within the same division, my guess is that it would ultimately come down to BCS rankings. And you gotta figure that Stanford, with only the one loss, would probably have the highest BCS ranking. Now if Stanford then went on to lose to Notre Dame, all bets are off.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
I think we’ve hashed it out below.
The bottom line is that with a three-way tie (UW beats Stanford, Stanford beats us, we beat UW), Stanford would probably get the nod based on having a higher BCS ranking at the end of the season (assuming each team wins out beyond those games).
Defending maligned chants since 2009
From Wikipedia so it must be true
Three or more-team procedure
In the event that three teams are tied, the following criteria shall be used as tiebreakers to determine who will represent the division in the championship game:
1.Collective head-to-head record among all tied teams
2.Record of the tied teams within the division
3.BCS component
by INducktrination on Oct 18, 2011 12:30 PM PDT up reply actions
So would UW's ranking pass Stanford?
I doubt it, which would mean a loss to a team with a higher ranking(Stanford) would be more justifiable. Giving us the higher BCS ranking in the long run. then again, the BCS never follows the rules of reason
"Last time I checked, there is no ‘Hall of Average.’ " Chip Kelly
It’s not out of this world in possibilities that UW passes Stanford’s ranking while sharing the same conference record.
There’s an unfortunate wild card at play there, and that’s Stanford’s last non-conference game. If UW beats Stanford… well… there have been crazier things that have happened.
It's spelled "S-H-U-F-E-L-T-W-O-O-Z-Y".
"YOU ARE THE KING OF THE AWESOME GUYS, JSHUFELT!!!" - daisyduck
True. but, UW did lose to Nebraska.
"Last time I checked, there is no ‘Hall of Average.’ " Chip Kelly
An early loss is better than a late loss.
If Stanford losses to UW, they will drop from 8th to somewhere around… 16, and UW would probably get up near the same rank.
It makes Oregon’s two games against them (back-to-back weeks) very interesting though.

Sounds like York was zinging him a little, which is totally fine and amusing. But his comments about what the assistant coach said are certainly interesting. Zinging Fentress just a little for fun would have been one thing, but seems like he was dogging him out about just doing his job.

Thanks for posting this article. It is interesting…and reflective of a larger shift in thinking about the role of journalists in today’s media. It is Fentress’s job to be objective and if you don’t want objectivity, you can certainly find a favorable opinion elsewhere. As for the assistant coach, let’s hear it, but don’t get on Fentress for doing his job. That’s really not what he should be focusing on.
He should be focusing on the taste of various cuts of buffalo, IMO.

I don't know if it has been mentioned.

The latest in the Oregon vs Colorado: A Prehistoric Series Series. (I’d hoped to get all the games done by this weekend, but that ain’t happening, sorry)

nirvana of a caption contest, with a twist!
Here’s a sign from over the weekend, courtesy of Occupy Wall Street’s “”http://occupyherbstreit.tumblr.com/page/2" target="new">Occupy Herbstreit Guy" (the whole tumblr is really quite funny).
Here’s the caption that goes with it:

Your task is to decide: WTF is the play call that goes with this sign?

Does nobody remember
that Stanford shut out the fuckies 41-0 last year? Sure uw might be better than last year, but not 41 points better
To demonstrate the insanity of your post, I give you: 1973, Oregon 58, Washington 0.
I will let you look up the score of the 1974 UW game.

The only place in the LA area they sell it is City of Industry, which is quite aways out of my way. Worth it?

An epic, uncommon beer might be worth it. Might. That’s why I’m asking the question.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
If it’s similar to session or black session, it’s not “epic”. It’s just a solid, easy to drink session beer.
Probably not worth the trip.

"YOU ARE THE KING OF THE AWESOME GUYS, JSHUFELT!!!" - daisyduck
I agree with this assessment
It’s a bit higher-alcohol (6.2) than most session beers, so less sessionable in that sense (I am full after two). All told, it’s a solid Oktoberfest-type lager, but nothing spectacular.

I was severely disappointed when I went through the City of Industry. I expected it to look more like… Carson/Arlington area or something.

Even the people who live in the City of Industry are disappointed when they drive through it. It’s a dismal place.
Defending maligned chants since 2009
All 219 of them.
Seriously. The 2010 census results say that there are only 219 people in that awesome and desirable place.
I feel bad for Colorado. They are the new WSU.
This Arkansas St-Florida International game is pretty hot
Although the Red Wolves just scored a TD, it seems unlikely we have much to worry about next year….
And then,
After giving the best speech ever, Pflugrad was a non-factor in the game.
2 catches for 9 yards. Ouch.
Also, interesting note, UO’s 7 straight wins over ASU is now tied with their 7 straight wins over UW for longest active conference win streak. Hopefully, in a little over 3 weeks, it won’t be the longest.

How far does this go back?
To the Pac-8? PCC?

I think he said "active"
so it goes back to the last one.
The conference record is USC’s 26 straight over OAC, from 1968 to 1999. So we won’t break this record with UW until 2030.
Our longest winless string is against USC, 12 straight (1972 – 1986). There was a tie in there (1980).
Our longest losing string is against ASU, 9 straight from 1966 to 1988, although the first two of those were when ASU was a WAC team.
For each pac-10 team:
Oregon losing strings vs..
- USC – 12 winless (1972 – 1986); 7 losses (72 – 78)
- UCLA – 7 losses (49-56)
- Stan – 5 (67-71, 73-77)
- Cal – 8 (74-82)
- OAC – 8 (64-71)
- UW – 6 (74-79, 81-86)
- WSU – 4 (71-74)
- ASU – 9 (66-88, first two were when ASU was in the WAC)
- Ariz — 4 (84-88)

You will have to upload it to yfrog or imageshack.
