Quack Fix: Basketball gets first win, Boyett and Pleasant lead Pac-12's top secondary

PrintThe basketball team started the weekend off with a win. Just about time for the football team to do the same. Here's your quack:
- Oregon basketball got their first win last night against Eastern Washington, but it was not as easy as many Duck fans were expecting. The Ducks trailed most of the game before taking the lead for good with 5 minutes left. The Ducks turned the ball over 21 times, and missed 16 free throws. But hey, a win's a win. Dave had a great recap below with lots of individual observations if you missed the game.
- On the women's side, the Register Guard has a piece this morning on freshmen Jordan Loera and Lexi Petersen, who have been thrust into prominent roles on the team.
- Adam Jude profiles Oregon's safeties, John Boyett and Eddie Pleasant, as they prepare for USC. While I gave credit to the defensive line yesterday, Jude points out that Pleasant and Boyett are playing the best ball of their careers. Boyett is leading the team in tackles, and Pleasant leads the team in interceptions and pass breakups. The safety play has made the transition much easier for Oregon's 3 freshmen CBs that are getting significant playing time, and have helped the Duck defense play nearly at least year's level, despite not having their most talented CB.
- Cliff Harris, by the way, was in court yesterday to deal with his most recent traffic violation. He plead no contest, and had to pay $300 in fines, but if he avoids any more violations over the next 60 days, the driving while suspended charge will come off his record.
- Congratulations to Mark Asper, Carson York, and David Paulson, who have been named first team All-Academic by the Pac-12.
- Duck Sports Authority has a full list of visitors that will be in town this weekend. It'll be an important weekend for the Ducks both on and off the field. Bud Elliot of Tomahawk Nation and SBNation.com add some more analysis of the recruits in his weekly recruiting breakdown at the mothership.
- Lastly, a neat article was in the New York Times yesterday, talking about the popularity of American Sign Language among the Oregon football players. We also learn that LaMichael James won't make the O. So next time you throw it up, make sure it's a nice, rounded O.
That's all I got. If you have anything else to share, drop it in the comments. GO DUCKS!

Second time in 10 years,
IIRC a bunch of members of the men’s squad died in a plane crash in 2001.
"What the hell was that?"
"Spaceball One, they've gone to plaid!"
This is probably a stupid question...
Is anyone else sick & tired of the whole “Tebow is a winner argument”? He only completes 46% if his passes & only averages 6.5ypa that’s not a QB I want leading my team also Joey was a winner, how’d that help him in the Pros?
Tebow
Well he has intangibles, and a offensive line and a defense playing out of their minds and a favorable schedule.
Yeah nobody wants to give the defense any credit, Miller might be the best rookie all together(even with what Cam has done) he’s definitely the best defensive rookie
Yeah, that defense won the game last night!
Kept them in it, with an offense that was mostly inept the whole game. That being said, the kid was pretty clutch on that final drive in the type of ways that don’t really show up on the stat sheet as being as meaningful as they were

Yep, Denver's D + Jets' poor run defense + and offense geared to what Tebow does best = win
I can understand why the NFL has not embraced the dual-threat QB: it is much more likely that said QB is gonna be injured in the NFL rather than in college. Sooner or later Tebow is gonna get hurt and then… Kyle Orton? Totally different style. zBut obviously a dual threat QB brings something to a game that your basic pocket passer can’t. Like what Vick did last year, Tebow in his similar way, is doing now.
That said, one day nn NFL team will go all in by stocking their three-deep QB roster will all dual-threat QB’s and fully let them do their thing. Imagine having Vick as your starter, Dennis Dixon as one backup and say Tyrod Taylor as the 3rd QB. Then shape the offense to take advantage of their skills. I can imagine a head coach who could make this work…
I don’t have to imagine Vick as my starter because he is plus we have Vince Young, it’d be great if he had Dixon over Kafka though
I don’t know why it’s an inevitability that Tebow will get hurt any more than any other QB, given the system that they’re running.

I had this same discussion with Fentress on twitter last night
Tebow’s not Dixon or DT. He’s not your average QB in terms of size. People forget that he’s the size of an NFL linebacker.
"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
LB's get hurt very frequently in the NFL
That and the fact that you are asking Tebow to do more skillful things than you ask of an NFL LB: read THROW.
He really doesn't have to throw the ball more than 12 times a game to be successful, IMO
Yes, he’s throwing it like 3 times a game now, but as NFL defenses adjust, he’ll have to as well. That being said, a defense can’t spend more than 1 week scheming to stop an entirely different offense than the pass-heavy offenses of the other 31 teams. See: Oregon offense. Look at how open our WRs get after enough misdirection and zone read plays.
"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
Um,no.
If NFL defenses know that the pass is only a secondary option then they will kill the run. And bringing up college defenses is like bringing up apples to the NFL’s oranges.
For example take from a couple years ago when Miami sprung the Wildcat formation on New England and had great success in pulling off the upset. Next week they played the Revens who shut down the Wildcat almost completely. Unless you haver a credible throwing option, and Tebow is barely that given that he can’t make throws to much of the field, then a dual threat doesn’t work over the course of a season.
You can’t be a dual threat QB if you only have the threat of running and not passing.

Tebow only has to complete 10 passes in a game IMO to be credible.
He’s capable of that, even if his 2/8 masterpiece says otherwise.
"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
If you love Tebow so much,
why didn’t you ask for him instead of Ryan Fitzpatrick when you gave me Brandon Marshall in fanball because you’re so desperate for a QB?
Just curious.

First of all, Matt Schaub's foot sucks donkey balls.
Second, because Fitzpatrick throws the damn football. I don’t get points for Ws in FFB (and I don’t know why you’re trash talking the top team in the league, at 6-4 no less).
"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
Nonsense. One threat is running the ball. The other threat is shooting lightning bolts from his butt.

That was maroon paint from the Seminoles' end zone, right?
Why does it have the consistency of vomit?
Note that
In the 55 minutes prior to the last drive Denver had 11 drives. The average yardage each drive gained was 7 yards.
It was only the last 5 minutes that the Denver offense was at all successful, and that was almost entirely because they abandoned the running game and the option read. Tebow’s runs didn’t come on a lot of options – they came on broken passing plays and design draws and QB runs. And they came against a defense that apparently wanted to go into prevent D for no good reason.
Why the hell would a team go into prevent against a QB who can't hit the ocean from a rowboat?
The mind boggles.

That’s why it was so confusing. The Jets had been doing totally fine for 55 minutes. Then they’re all DUURURURUURURRRR and Tebow’s like ZOOOMG and God’s all ‘whatever, I’m in the tub’.
And then the Jets decide to run an all out blitz with no outside contain against a running QB. WHAT THE HELL.

Not exactly true.
For two weeks now, they’ve shown the option break down, and it’s had success.
The failure of their drives wasn’t a schematic failure of the spread. It was Tebow’s inaccuracy, a decision error, or a bad play call.
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
It had success in other games
But not this game. The option was completely dealt with by the Jets. I’m not saying in other games it wasn’t good – just that in this game, for 11 drives, the Broncos got nothing out of it. It was stuffed repeatedly.
Against other teams it’s been better. Against the Jets it sucked hard. That’s why it’s so puzzling why the Jets didn’t start defending the Tebowrun more. Their defense had been working great up until that point.
Lulz.

I don’t think people have forgotten that.
The problem is that just because you’re big, doesn’t mean you’re less prone to injuries.
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
That’s the very point, though. I don’t think he’s LESS prone to injuries. I just don’t think he’s more prone. I think a QB running any standard pro-style offense that got hit as often as Tebow will, probably gets hurt eventually. But the Broncos are running an offense where Tebow expects to get hit, and can not only prepare for it, but can improve at it. QBs go through their whole career with no-contact jerseys on, trying to avoid contact. Simply by getting hit more, he’ll learn HOW to get hit to better avoid injury. I also think his size will help a bit in that regard.
All in all, I think it will even out, i.e. he’s not more or less prone to an injury than any other QB in the league.

He's had a nice little run.
Now he’s getting into a big-boy section of the schedule. And being that he runs more than most quarterbacks, he is more likely to get injured. Not more “prone,” whatever that means, but statistically more likely to take a hit that takes him out of a game for some amount of time. There’s a reason the effective shelf-life of the running back is 4 or 5 years.
It matters none, because he’ll be playing teams coming up that will be able to stuff the run and force the pass and hilarity will no doubt ensue.

I’m comparing him to other QBs. As I said above, I think the fact that they’re running plays where he KNOWS he’s going to get hit mitigates that, as does his body type. I think he’s about as likely to get injured as any other QB. They may get hit less, but when they do, it’s more likely to cause injury than a hit on Tebow.

The old phrase of “The hits that hurt the most are the ones you don’t know are coming”
It’s also why the left tackle is often considered the most important offensive linemen. He’s guarding the right handed QB’s blind spot.

Maybe. It's not the easiest thing to quantify.
I don’t think it’s going to matter in the end. Tebow is going to be forced to win with his arms one way or another and soon. If the Chargers get ahead early, he’s going to have to throw. Against the Bears, he’s going to have to throw. Same with the Vikings, but especially the Bears.

It would be interesting but I have my doubts about the ZR working consistently in the NFL.
Working ZR plays into an offense is one thing, but I don’t know that it can work as the base offense.
Ducks GOOOOD. Fuskies BAAAAAD.
by BigGreenWreckingMachine on Nov 18, 2011 12:44 PM PST up reply actions
Why not?
From what I’ve seen, it isn’t because of speed from an NFL on defense. The only other real iterations have the ZR have been in a wildcat, where you have a less than 1% chance that they are going to throw the ball.
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
Many reasons.
One, the defenses tend to be as big and fast as the offenses. Two, how do you avoid forecasting your intentions running the ZR? Three, the wildcat came and went for the most part in the span of one season because NFL DC’s are masters of countering new threats.
Pros? IF you can keep from tipping your hand as far as IZR/OZR and IF you can consistently get your people in space and IF the opposing defenses are undisciplined and prone to overpursuing the spread can work. I just don’t think it can work as a base offense because NFL defenses are chock full of the very type of players that cause any ZR offense problems: Huge, quick linemen and linebackers who are disciplined.
Ducks GOOOOD. Fuskies BAAAAAD.
by BigGreenWreckingMachine on Nov 18, 2011 1:07 PM PST up reply actions
The wildcat, unfortunately, still happens in the NFL. It’s not hard to counter that “threat”. It’s a bad formation.
In regards tot he IZR/OZR – that doesn’t matter. You can run inside or outside from either lineup. Just do the OZR lineup, and run the play. Why aren’t you tipping your hand? Defenses have to watch out for the pass play (if you have a legitimate pass threat), because you’re not in any fancy formation, you’re in a common formation. It’s a shotgun.
I’m not saying it’s going to be a 300 yard rushing offense. It’s not going to be as “successful” as it is in college.
If you have a good offensive line, and a decent dual threat QB, the offense should have reasonable success.
Saying the option can’t work because the defenses are too good in the NFL is about as ridiculous to me as saying Jacksonville is an example of why “Pro-Style” offense won’t work in the NFL because the defenses are too good.
I believe the spread is a gimmick in the same way the NFL use to consider “passing offenses” a gimmick.
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
I don't think it's a gimmick.
I just don’t know know that it translates to the NFL game. Yes, the Wildcat is run here and there, but the reason the trend peaked and retreated quickly is that it was diagnosed and countered quickly. The same may or may not happen with the spread. Who the hell knows? Saying it will work in the NFL is no different than saying it won’t so I don’t know what you’re getting all fired up about.

I’m not fired up about anything, actually. I just think it is ridiculous to say the spread can’t work in the NFL.
It’s like saying we can’t go to the moon, flying machines won’t ever work, or college football can’t have a playoff.
It might not work… the first time you try. It might not work at all. But to say it can’t work without every trying goes to my list of “things I think are ridiculous”
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
Part of the reason it works in college is because the team is built for it. We aren’t running a 250 lbs. running back straight at the line, and we aren’t lining up a bunch of hulking 330 lbs. linemen in front of him and trying to batter a hole through the middle of the defense.
I think the QB is just one aspect of making the spread viable in the NFL. A guy with good wheels and understanding of the option is going to help, but you also need the right skills at WR and TE, and a line that’s as mobile as they are strong.
Chip is also committed to his scheme and every single play comes out of a similar look and motion. As long as the NFL running game comes from under center and with a fullback, you won’t find success shifting to a shotgun spread look and trying to fool anybody. It’s going to take a coach who’s committed to the spread by scheme, not just his QB, to make it work.
You need the right personnel, I agree.
But the NFL has all those types of players you need. Some can learn too.
And ultimately, yeah. You need a coach that is willing. That is the biggest obstacle.
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
It’s the same reason why baseball coaches always use their best relieve in the ninth inning, rather than using him in the situation with the most leverage. They are too afraid to break rank and actually think critically, risking a backlash from all sorts of people if it fails (even if that failure has nothing to do with the strategy itself and everything to do with outside circumstances).
Defending maligned chants since 2009
You’d need to assemble that talent with the goal of the spread, not take over a team, make one or two free agent signings, and start running the zone read 25 times a game.
The coach is the biggest obstacle, I agree, but it also takes management who is willing to let the entire thing cook while they acquire the right players.
NFL coaches have the "conservative chip" built-in.
It took decades before a real passing attack was considered anything but a luxury in the league.

There's a difference between "don't think it'll work" and "can't work."
I’m interested to see if someone implements it fully with the proper personnel. I don’t think Denver will succeed because Tebow isn’t a viable enough threat with his arm to keep good defenses honest (see Broncos/Lions).

Hmmph
I don’t think it can’t not work. So there. Phhhhbbbt.
(I actually think that the spread could work but only if you had at least two QBs that could run it. You would almost certainly need to rebalance things such that you threw more out of the spread too, sort of like the Pats did in 2007. The biggest killer to the spread is that it relies heavily on the run, and the run in general is not good in the NFL).
RE: IZR vs OZR formation and tipping your hand. Chip has done a few things to counter it that NFL coaches could surely do. First, as Shu alludes to, Chip has begun running OZR from the IZR formation and vice versa (meaning where the RB is lined up). Secondly, and this would definitely work in the NFL, Chip has begun running power plays from these formations. It’ll look like we’re lined up in an IZR to the right, with the RB lined up on the QB’s left, and the QB will hand the ball to the RB and the RB will head straight into a hole between the left tackle and left guard, often with the right guard or center pulling as well. And the longer a QB is in this offense, the faster/better they can diagnose when to audible out of the IZR to another play at the LOS.
I think it’s easy to dismiss it as something that can’t work in the NFL. But I’ve yet to see it proven. Even if the Tebow thing doesn’t work I still won’t be convinced because 1) Tebow still can’t throw, 2) they don’t have all the right players for the system, and 3) the coaches don’t know system well.
The Denver coaches seem like some of the managers I’ve worked with. Some decision gets made that they don’t agree with and they argue against it. We hash it out and the decision is made to proceed with whatever it is despite their objections. Instead of buying in, they go to their teams and say, “well the company is making us do XYZ…I know it sucks, don’t look at me.” They then proceed to half-ass manage to whatever it is because if it fails they think they’ll get to say “I told you it wouldn’t work”. Well guess what managers John Fox ? You’ll never know if it could have really worked because you are basically sabotaging the whole thing before anyone has a chance to find out if it will succeed. And, despite all that, they are 4-1? LOL

He's also sunning that power toss sweep now too
to the side where the RB lines up. We’ve run for around 8+ yards each time with that play.
The Tebow issue.
That’s why I don’t think it’ll work IN DENVER. The one good defense he’s run up against shut ’em down. Why? No credible passing threat. Interesting that Newton and JStew are on the same team, although their O-line can barely protect as it is.

If he runs 10 times a game
that’s about 8 times more than most QBs. That means taking more solid hits as he gets tackled, and that means more likelihood of injury. Any open field tackle increases the damage you take. He’s a big guy and a tough guy, but it still decreases his QB life expectancy.
Not true. QBs get hit in the pocket TONS. QBs running often negates that.

There's actually a fair amount of evidence
Running QBs averaged about 2 fewer weeks of starting time than non-running QBs in the pros. In college I’m unaware of any real data one way or another, but anecdotally as Duck fans we should probably be aware of it given that there has not been a single season since we instituted the spread offense that we’ve had a QB last the entire season for every game. The best was last year, where Darron Thomas was still pulled out of a game.
Please, remind me which plays our QBs have been knocked out on.

Dixon 2007: running play where he was tackled weirdly on the knee.
Leaf 2007: running play on a play he didn’t have the ball.
Roper 2008: concussed on a running play
Masoli 2008: concussed on a passing play/cheap shot
Masoli 2009: running play injury to knee
DT 2010: running play injury to knee
I think that’s about right.

So we are left with half an injury to DT this year (finished the drive) DT this year, and Dixon being hurt directly on plays where they were running the ball.

Not sure how Masoli being injured when not holding the ball matters. If you get injured on a running play you get injured on a running play. The point is the contact, not whether or not you have the ball.
Actually that makes it worse for Tebow; Tebow can be tackled on any running play that he goes outside on, holding the ball or no. That’s even more contact.
And I’m not sure how ‘not his fault’ works either. Are we an insurance company now? Point is simply that running QBs get injured.
I blame you.

Obviously not every time. But a QB running around opens up the possibility of running out of bounds or sliding.

I'm not talking about QB scrambles
I’m talking about designed running plays and options. On those he is treated just like another RB. And on those he gets hit more.
I’m talking about overall hits. You have to factor in QB scrambles.

Err...okay.
And I’m saying that overall hits means that he’s going to take more hits because he’s a RB compared to QBs that don’t run. It’s simple. You can say that QBs that can scramble take fewer big hits, but I don’t think there’s a lot of clear evidence for that.
They do
but there are lots of rules against big hits against QBs, and Tebow doesn’t get hit much in the pocket anyway (mostly because he’s running for his life instead of standing in to throw).
Put it another way – those 10 designed runs for Tebow would have been 10 runs to a RB for another offense. That’s 10 more hits Tebow takes.
Rules in the pocket.

It doesn't seem controversial to say that a QB that takes more hits will get injured more
QB and kicker are the longest tenured positions in football because they are protected. Can’t hit them when they don’t have the ball. Every other guy is blocking/getting blocked or tackling/getting tackled on every play at almost all positions (maybe WR and CB not every play). A running QB is a hybrid RB/QB, he is going to get hit more.
That's a part of it - the kinds of hits they're prone to.
Particularly with the scrupulously enforced rules in the NFL, the system in place is designed to minimize hits to the quarterback’s head/legs/knees. When you have a guy who’s pulling it down and carrying like a running back, there seems to be more exposure to these kinds of injuries because they’re more likely to take hits that might cause these types of injuries.
But overall hits? Particularly with a questionable line, pocket passers can take quite a few. I remember Bellotti’s statement about running QB injuries – that they actually took more hits from the prostyle sets. Mark Sanchez took some particularly vicious hits last night, and at least once appeared to get up slow/potentially injured. With the rules as they are, these seem more likely to be focused on hands/arms/chest/ribs/shoulders, but concussions also happen (and seem to pop up with some regularity) just from legal big hits or sacks. Particularly when QBs are getting slammed to the turf like Von Miller did to Sanchez last night, there’s a lot that can go wrong.
This is all basically speculation on my part anyway. I won’t pretend that my observations are certainly correct, or try to guess which set, if correct, is more likely to result in longterm injuries. It seems like the only conclusion that can be drawn definitively is football = violent and potentially dangerous sport.

If he could throw better their offense would be amazing if they kept running the same offense. I was amazed at how wide open his receivers were against a good secondary…and similarly amazed at how many times he simply missed the wide open WR. If he improves his accuracy even just a little bit they could have a pretty good offense while running the spread. One of the biggest reason you hear from the “experts” why the run-based spread can’t work in the NFL is that you’d “get your QB killed”. I’ve often thought when I hear that about the fact that there are many a RB that can take 20+ carries a game and you’d most likely only be asking your QB to carry it around 10 times a game…the point being that if you got the right guy running it that part of the argument against the spread would be shot down. Tebow seems to be that guy, in that he seems plenty big enough and capable of taking the hits that come with being a QB in a run-based spread offense.
I’m watching the whole thing and hoping it succeeds to be honest. That’s saying a lot because I’m a Charger fan (go ahead and laugh, I deserve it) and hate the Broncos. I guess I just hate the curmudgeons even more. I highly doubt he’ll get a chance to really prove whether it can work or not long term because the NFL-types are all so convinced already that it simply cannot work that it’s doubtful he’ll even get the chance truly long term. They’d need to go “all in” on it and trade for/draft the right players, get the coaches and players to really learn the system, etc. And in the end, if Tebow can’t improve his accuracy, even if he gets the chance to prove it long term it might not work because of him…they may get the right players, learn the system, and get to a point where it’d be successful but if he can’t at least hit the wide open receivers I can’t see it working.
It’s pretty fun to watch right now though. The “experts” essentially mocking and laughing at them while they go 4-1. I mean, they are 4-1 with the offense really playing pretty terrible. If they get better and Tebow gets more accurate… we’ll see I guess.

Maybe fun isn’t the right word. Intriguing maybe? I normally could give a crap less about a game between Denver and the Jets other than to root against Denver. But the spread offense success/failure storyline makes it very interesting to me. And watching the X’s and O’s is more interesting to me as well since I’ve gone out of my way to really learn Oregon’s offense (nobody ran a spread when I was in high school in the early 90’s…we ran a triple option, so the option concept made sense to me, but the IZR OZR and things Chip has done off of those plays is super interesting to me). Watching the Denver games have so many levels of intrigue to me. So maybe “fun” is the wrong word.

That’s what makes it intriguing to me.
I grew up near Denver and living with the Elway hype, seeing his face on the used car dealership billboards and all that… just blah. I hated it. I grew up a Denver Donkey hater. (To my sister’s dismay).
But seeing the Xs and Os, seeing how it was more of Denver/Tebow failing to execute the spread more than the Jets actually stopping it… it makes it enjoyable to me. I’ll probably end up rooting for Denver as long as they run the spread.

I do think the NFL is going to catch up pretty fast. These guys aren't slow.
The only question is whether it takes off enough to let them be proficient at it regularly or whether it will be a Denver gameplanning thing.
The increased injury rate is higher on running quarterbacks. They take a beating in any case, but the point is if you stay in the pocket and release fast and have normal protection, you’re taking less of a beating than someone who is forced out of hte pocket and brought down. This is not true of weak defenses, and there’s the rub. Denver has a sufficiently good defense that Tebow would get touched less if he stayed in the pocket. Otherwise, any of those runs and a collision could be a season-ending injury — scary for the managers to think of.
Oregon loves you, Chip Kelly!

The increased injury rate is higher on running quarterbacks.
Numbers?
Often times, QBs who scramble around get hit less, because they end up sliding and not taking a blind side hit.
When Vick dives forward and gets sandwiched by a LB and a safety – that’s an injury a WR would take. That’s an injury a RB could take. At that point, it is less a matter of position, but of circumstance. If Vick slides, he doesn’t get hurt.
You’re an idiot if you get hurt, and you’re a “warrior” if you get up.

There's a big difference between an Aaron Rodgers and a Tebow/Vick/etc.
Rodgers moves around the pocket, scrambles as necessary, and runs almost exclusively when there’s an open lane, sliding to avoid contact. Vick and Tebow put their heads down and run. Jock Licker did the same thing and he was an injury magnet. Vick is an injury magnet. Randall Cunningham was great at avoiding contact but he still wore out rather suddenly.

It would be interesting to see the numbers. QBs get hit multiple times in a game right now in the NFL. It’s just that those hits are usually while he’s in the process of throwing the ball. That or during a sack. I’d be interested to see, for instance, how many times Tebow is averaging being hit per game as compared to how many times Cutler gets hit per game. I’m not talking about being tackled, I’m talking about being hit period. If you are talking about injury, it’s the hits that cause it – either 1 devastating hit or an accumulation of many hits over time. I know that Tebow dives/slides/gets out of bounds quite a bit, so I wonder if he’s taking more hits than Cutler was early in the season or another QB behind a bad O-Line.
It’s easy to say “well it’s common sense dictates that a running QB will be hit more than a pocket QB”, but the more I think about it the more I realize it might not be true in all cases. This is the exact logic that NFL-types subscribe to when dismissing the spread offense as something that can never work in the NFL and mocking Tebow at 4-1 as an anomoly.

You could take QB hits, add sacks to it, and add rush attempts. But then you’d have to have an asterisk next to it to say that he didn’t get hit on every rush attempt because they slide or go out of bounds. From what I can find, the QB Hits stat only counts hits taken on a passing attempt and doesn’t include sacks. But I can’t find anything that shows this on a per-player basis. I can only find where it shows it on a team basis and Tebow hasn’t been playing the whole season. I can’t find it in game logs either. But I haven’t spent much time looking because I’m at work and I’m too busy to put much effort into it at this point.

The last 5 games were 'phins, Lions, Rayduhs, Chiefs, Jets.
They got boatraced by the best defensive team on that list. Next 5 are Chargers, Vikings, Bears, Pats, Bills. Bears certainly and also the Pats can play D and all but the Bears (generally speaking) can score in bunches. This next 5 games will determine if Tebow can at this point hit enough of his own receivers to make a difference.

No. Because he got so over-rated, that now he’s almost under-rated. Everything I’ve heard about lately is that he’s a bad QB who’s getting lucky. People mention the “he’s a winner thing,” but it’s either just in passing or they say it ironically.
I don’t think Tebow is a good QB, but he has great leadership skills, and he has ability as a football player, even if that’s not the typical ability you see at the QB position.
I really, really want him to succeed.

is the fact that John Fox is running the spread with Tim Tebow, yet was fired from Carolina who drafted Cam Newton, who’s not running the spread.

So let me get this straight
Cliffy has insurance. He was wearing a seat belt, just not the shoulder harness and due to some bullshit with recent changes in the law, he thought with cause that he had a valid license. The court should apologize to Harris and drop all charges.
If ya can't get your Dick Enright, get your Dick Harter!
by Old Ducker on Nov 18, 2011 1:50 PM PST reply actions 1 recs
Er, no
1. He had no proof of insurance in the car. You are supposed to carry proof of insurance and be able to show that if a cop asks for it. If you do have insurance, but not in the car, you can present it later (during your court date) and have that fine be waived, which is what he did.
2. He was driving on a suspended license. Just because he was misinformed doesn’t absolve him. The court did allow him to take part in a program rather than levy anything harsher, and to me that’s a good deal.
3. He was not wearing a seat-belt. Where did you read that he was? And the shoulder harness is the seat-belt. Either you’re wearing it or you’re not. (?)
Why should the cops apologize to Cliff? He was in the wrong, and he got off pretty lightly (I’ve known harsher penalties for driving on a suspended license, even forgetting his other transgressions).

From the article, “Buseman said Harris was wearing the lap belt but the shoulder strap was behind his shoulder.” I guess I’m old enough to remember when a seat belt just consisted of a lap belt.

Many older convertibles didn't have shoulder restraints because there was no way to anchor them when the top was down.
The one Cliff was driving was not one of them.

Nope.
He should both comply with all laws and given his history he should be expected to confirm the validity of his license. On him 100%.

Any thoughts on the fusky/baver clash in Corvallis this weekend?
Not sure what to expect from the game, and this seems to be the most conflicted game of the year as far as rooting interests. Among considerations:
- Having UW with as many wins as possible helps UO claim a quality win, and OSU is beyond saving at this point.
- But if UW falters down the stretch and WSU wins tomorrow and wins the Apple Cup, they go bowling, which helps.
- The MBCSNCG is such a remote possibility anyway that SOS boosts aren’t a terribly big deal.
- And a nice losing streak down to .500 to end the season will mean no improvement over last year for the purple puppies, and might put a stop to the fusk-mentum up North.
- Bavers suck.
- huskies suck.
- A huskie loss is always a good thing.

Since both teams can't lose

and UW wins we will be ranked 3rd behind Oklahoma State.

If we win out, it will be huge to have the Championship game as well. If Oklahoma State falls against Oklahoma… very possible. I see us going to the NCG again.. which I am kinda scared of.. because this is one year I think we would have a huge shot at the Rose Bowl….

And we march quickly down the field.
Then comes a Yellow Day and wheeee,
We win one-hundred-eight to three!
Gray Day…everything is gray.
Our secondary makes eight picks today.
We’ll play so fast it gets surreal!
On our Silver Days that’s how we feel.
Green Days. We kick no PAT’s.
We go for two on each TD!
On Lightning Days they’re sad. They groan.
They can’t keep us out of the end zone.
And when our days are Anthracite
We’ll cram it down your throats all night.
Then come All Black Days. Autzen’s loud.
Your O-line false starts every down.
Then comes a Throwback Day. And WHAM!

Big honor for Lockie
Yet the player who earned MVP of the EBAL was Oregon-bound Jeff Lockie (Danville, Calif./Monte Vista). He put up huge numbers, throwing for 2,583 yards and 24 touchdowns with just six interceptions, and rushed for 121 yards and six more scores.
Lockie committed to the Ducks following an earlier commitment by Jake Rodrigues (Rocklin, Calif./Whitney). At the time, the commitment didn’t draw a lot of fanfare, and Lockie was thought by some as a guy who could add some depth to the roster but nothing more. Make no mistake, Lockie can play and might be an ever better fit in the Ducks offense than Rodriguez.
better than Jake?!?

Brandon Weeden is 28?!
Seriously, that’s not cool. That’s like when I play football with my kids (who are 6 & 8). My decision-making skills are much better than theirs. Weeden is almost toying with ISU.
And then they’ve got Blackmon, holy shit that guy is good.

With all due respect
The cognitive advantage of age 28 over 20ish is not the same as [your age] to 6 or 8.
Unless you’re, say, 14 right now. Then you might have a point.

What if it’s us (Ducks) vs. Okie St. in the Natty? Think we can handle them? Their offense is significantly better than LSU’s.

Eh
Their defense is as suspect as Oregon’s; they play at a hugely fast speed and the opponents get a lot more drives, but their per-play averages are very competitive. Plus they get lots and lots of turnovers.
They’re a very good team . Don’t discount ’em.

I feel like you could rapid fire picks at him. Like
“Hey Lou, Oregon or USC?”
“USC. Great defense.
“Hey Lou, USC or Oregon?
“Oregon. Most explosive offense in the country”
“Hey Lou, What do you think of Oregon’s chances?”
“I like Oregon. I picked them to beat UCLA.
“Hey Lou, what do you think of USC’s chances?”
“Their defense is one of the best in the country. They’ll be able to stop LaQuizz Rodgers, but he’s pretty good too”
“Hey, Lou, Oregon or USC?”
“Oregon’s defense is underrated, but so is USC’s offense. I’m gonna pick USC by sheventeen points.”
“Hey Lou, Oregon or USC?”
“Let me tell you what, USC’s offense has nothing going for them, but Oregon can’t stop anybody either. But JaMichael James is a big surprise this year. Oregon wins big in a blow out”

It literally went right over the goalpost.
Looked good to me. Could have been the camera angle, though.

I thought it was right on top of the post
Which I guess is no good.

I thought right over the post meant that it was good.

It was millimeters close
You can watch the replay 50 times, you’ll think it’s wide over the top of the upright 25 times, and good over the top of the upright 25 times.

Question for smart BCS people
Is the fact that Oregon has three games left compared to Alabama’s two significant from the computers standpoint?
If the third game were against anyone meaningful, I suppose it might.

no
it will be against a shitty team.
In fact, I’m worried about us jumping to #2 by the slimmest of margins after Civil War, then the computers knocking us down after beating UCLA

So we hope Azzy State wins out and bottom-feeds a t25 ranking?

Oregon: vs. #18 USC, Oregon St., ASU/UCLA
Alabama: vs. Georgia Southern (FCS), @ Auburn
That’s a pretty big advantage for us. An extra win would be sightly significant, I think.

I just don't get how people say Bama has a better schedule than us.
They’ve lost to LSU (just like us) and their only other win against a ranked team is the dumpster fire that is Penn State.

Knoxville is going to be Eugene East tomorrow, considering their intense hate for Laney and Alabama.

On a much more somber note, Jake Rodrigues dislocated his ankle tonight in a state playoff game
Looking at six month recovery period.
Well... not like we'd be calling on him next year.
Get well Jake.
Somewhere, somehow, a Duck is watching you.
Don't football players usually just snap those types of things back in while still on the field?
At least, in my experience, they do.
But srsly, that sucks. Hope he recovers quickly.

I see it has been a man day on ATQ today,
so I guess you have to make it up to us girls tomorrow.
I told you to go to your room!
flowers, chocolates or sinsemilla?
We are ducks afterall.
If ya can't get your Dick Enright, get your Dick Harter!
As someone who has been thoroughly Rose Bowl centric to this point....
Oregon has at least as good an argument as anyone that this point.

OT,
has anyone been watching the President’s Cup? I’ve kind of always thought it was stupid that you had to be so quiet for golf, but these people are freaking rude!
I told you to go to your room!
The football, it was on fire today...not much time for anything else.

Dennis Dodd drinks... chick beer
But that’s just me, right now. The Hefeweizen is going down really smooth.
Think he puts produce in it?

Wait... are you questioning the masculinity of my seventeen-year-old drinking self?

This had me laughing and rolling in tears...

So I leave the internet for a few hours and the apparently the FREAKING BCS EXPLODED!
"What the hell was that?"
"Spaceball One, they've gone to plaid!"
This the long fabled Nuclear Winter of the BCS aka Defcon 2.
Defcon 1 is if LSU loses and it’s between LSU Alabama and Oregon for the right to play in the title game
"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
I still maintain (though I guess this is the first time that I've maintained it publicly)
that a conference rematch is absolutely unacceptable in the title game. Absolutely completely entirely unacceptable. You have a league. You win it. You don’t win it? Then you don’t deserve to play for a chance to call yourself national champion.
But in that scenario, non-champ LSU would probably play conference champ ’Bama because SEC = GODS.
Somewhere, somehow, a Duck is watching you.
Well... I guess this means that Boone Pickens doesn't get to buy a BCS title
before Uncle Phil does. For now.

So I don't know how the "O" is supposed to look like "Vagina" in ASL
Because to me it doesn’t look the same at all.
