Quack Fix: Previewing the Prefontaine 400 and a draft update on Michael Dunigan

PrintNot a lot of quack out there today -- please share if you find anything else.
- Jon Wilner has post-spring projections for the conference. Wilner also includes his pre-spring projections and seems to agree with Dave that the Beavers will not be very good next year.
- Scott Schroeder of SBN's Ridiculous Upside blog details how Michael Dunigan's year in Estonia has resurrected his hopes of an NBA career.
- Jordan Kent is running a series of amateur combines that will tour through 12 northwest cities.
- The Register-Guard has a preview of the Prefontaine Classic's 400 meter fields. The women's is headlined by last year's winner Allyson Felix, who will defend her title against Sanya Richards-Ross. Richards-Ross was ranked #1 in the event from 2005 - 2009 before ceding the ranking to Felix last year. The men's field features the double-amputee "Blade Runner," Oscar Pistorius.
- ESPN's Jeff Dooley has an insider-only article on the football team's chances at returning to the national championship game. Dooley hits on a lot of the topics that we've heard all spring: the losses on both lines and at receiver, the emergence of Dion Jordan, and whether Darron Thomas and LaMichael James can improve up on their 2010 performances.
As always, post any relevant links or comments below.

i honestly feel like stanford is going to be down, because the real guy running the show was harbaugh. obviously andrew luck is better than 50% of the qb’s in the NFL but I don’t think stanford is going to win more than 10 games this season. other than stanford LSU is the only one in the way and their offense is so dysfunctional right now and their coaches are so bad in close games. I say oregon has a 60-70% chance of beating LSU
I'm sorry, but we don't have a 60-70% chance of beating LSU.

why not
their quarterback threw more picks than touchdowns last year, they have a new offensive coordinator, and their coach is horrifically bad in close games. sure there defense is good, but they’ve never started their season with a big game in the last four years.
Well, for one, their new offensive coordinator is replacing…Gary Crowton. Kragthorpe is going to be a step up. Les Miles isn’t a time management wizard, but his teams do have a knack for winning close games.
Remember what happened in our last “big game” to open up the season?

LSU’s defensive line is going to be even better than Boise’s was in ’09. We were breaking in new O-linemen in that game as well. We all remember how that went.

You can’t take an outcome of a previous game and apply the same outcome to an upcoming game. There are several factors that we came out with a loss against the ’09 opener.

I'm just drawing a comparison. It was a similar situation. I don't think that's deniable.

Thomas is not Masoli, James is not Blount. 2 returning starters on the O-line is not 0 returning starters. Playing in Dallas is not playing in an Idaho Potato field painted blue.
People want to compare the situations because of their fear of the out come. I’ll be incredibly surprised if Oregon plays anywhere near the same level they did at fBSU. Even against a better defense in LSU.
"the putz from that UO blog, Matt Daddy" - Steve Tannen
The Daily Faberian
Oh, I don’t think that it will be as bad as it was at Boise either, but I do think a similarity can be drawn in that a relatively inexperienced offensive line will struggle against a quality defensive line.

by TennesseeQuackAttack8 on May 24, 2011 12:11 PM PDT up reply actions
First of all you don’t know that, and you’re letting your concerns about it drive your conclusions.
Second, I’d contend that neither Masoli nor Blount helped the o-line much in the fBSU game, and Thomas and James will be much better suited to play behind an inconsistent o-line than either Masoli or Blount ever were.
And finally, I’d like to know more about this “quality defensive line” you speak of. What makes them such high quality? Because they’re from the SEC? Because they’re LSU and have that reputation? You heard it on ESPN so it has to be true? You realize LSU lost their best d-line tackler and TFL player, right? So where is this notion of such high quality d-line play coming from?

I only think that LSU has a quality D-Line because they’re from the SEC and because ESPN told me so.

Hmm.
I find myself hard-pressed to disagree with the statement that “a relatively inexperienced offensive line will struggle against a quality defensive line,” especially when that defensive line is part of a unit known for outstanding defense year in and year out. Our EXPERIENCED offensive line struggled against an Auburn defensive line just a few short months ago. On what basis do you disagree?
Fuck you, Juju. We'll do it ourselves.
by BigGreenWreckingMachine on May 24, 2011 12:34 PM PDT up reply actions
I don’t disagree with the statement, only that it get’s tossed around that LSU’s defensive line is high quality and no one cares to elaborate on why they think that. They were middle of the SEC last year against the rush and 4th in sacks .
Yet it’s really easy to say this is a “high quality defensive line” when they just lost their best player.
Personally, I think LSU’s best defensive unit will be their secondary and our inexperienced WR are going to have trouble blocking on the edges or getting separation. But I guess it’s just easier to say they have a great D-line and we have an inexperienced o-line so it will be just like the fBSU game.

If you can’t handle legitimate criticism and questioning of your opinions, then maybe you shouldn’t voice them.
There was nothing abrasive about these comments. Grow a thicker skin or learn how to actually defend your opinion.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
Right, I don’t know how to defend an opinion…
I realize that LSU loses its top defensive lineman from 2010 (Nevis). There aren’t really any big name players, but they have size, and they certainly have athleticism. Edwards, Adams, and Mingo are three guys that contributed in 2010 that are returning. Montgomery is another guy that may play. He was a highly touted recruit, and he figures to be a guy that has the ability to make an impact. He’s got decent size and strength, but he’s very quick.
In terms of LSU’s interior line, it’s big. Their best returning player is Michael Brockers. He weighs three hundred pounds and is very effective in stuffing up the inside run game. The other players are a hodgepodge of big, highly touted recruits that haven’t played much. LSU also has the best incoming freshman in the nation at the DT position coming in, Anthony Johnson. It wouldn’t surprise me if he were to see playing time as a true freshman-he’s physically ready to play already.

There’s often nothing wrong with having problems in assessment, because people can often learn and get information from it. What’s the point of discussing/debating if you nobody can be proven wrong and learn something new?
Just don’t be a single ply about it.

TQA8, To be fair, you are the only person who can determine if it felt too abrasive to you. But as an observer, I have to say that I didn’t think it was abrasive. Strong debate is not uncommon at ATQ and it is almost always carried out in an amicable manner, as I think was the case in MD’s comments.

Dear TQA,
You recently posited that LSU had a “high quality defensive line.” I’ve seen this same statement from others and have wondered where that notion comes from. Considering you were the latest individual to make that assertion, would you care to clarify how you came to that conclusion.
It would be much appreciated by yours truly, as I feel like I am in the dark in this understanding that so many people seem to know.
Sincerely,
Matt

OTOH it is of course a fallacy to state A + B = C in this case. But based on results from the recent past (fBSU, tOSU, Cal, Auburn) one can easily to the conclusion our O-line has had some issues against large, athletic D-lines whether they are experienced or not.
Fuck you, Juju. We'll do it ourselves.

USC or Stephen Paea beg to differ.
I’m not saying that our o-line is going to manhandle LSU’s front 7 even though they are inexperienced and there is concern with replacing their two DTs, I’m just not convinced there is first round NFL talent in that front 4 right now and they have concerns themselves about getting production from them with how inexperienced they are.
It seems like a wash in experience between LSU and Oregon lines and not nearly comparable between fronts in the fBSU or tOSU or Auburn games.
"the putz from that UO blog, Matt Daddy" - Steve Tannen
The Daily Faberian
Steven Paea isn't a defensive line.
And USC’s d-line was both riddled with injuries and not quite up to years past in quality.
As far as LSU, one of the reasons they are almost always competitive is their defense, and their defense almost always has a good line. Objectively, given the state of flux of our O-line and given the recent past, it’s absurd to pretend this isn’t something to be concerned about. It may end up to be “much ado about nothing” but I guaran-damn-tee you Chip is hard at work “winning the day” planning for the LSU d-line.

Don't forget Chip Kelly's first game as a HC
That is a huge difference, IMO.
"What the hell was that?"
"Spaceball One, they've gone to plaid!"
This is something that doesn't really get a lot of attention, but this was a huge deal, especially in the play calling.
I think that Kelly and Helfrich did not have a rhythm for play-calling yet, and that showed. There were many opportunities to go outside, and they just never took advantage of that. That should have been pretty obvious from the press box, but this was Kelly’s first game on the ground, and I think it took a couple games for him and Helfrich to work well together.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
Yes.
I think generally it hasn’t gotten attention because conventional football wisdom dictates that coaches don’t really change that much and are not prone to having problems due to inexperience, unlike players.
But, you’re right. It’s definitely important. That was one of the worst jobs of playcalling I’ve ever seen.

Do you think he’s gone after the trials? Seems like it would probably be a good time for him to take the next step in his career – he’ll be even more red-hot than he is now after he puts on his 2nd Trials.

Andy Katz approves:
Oregon remains a sleeper pick in the Pac-12 with most of the team returning from a squad that shockingly won 21 games and a postseason title in the CBI. The Ducks could be a trendy pick in the wide-open conference with the recent addition of Louisiana Tech forward Olu Ashaolu, who is transferring to Oregon as first reported by the National Hoops Report. Ashaolu will be eligible immediately and can be a solid force in the post for the Ducks. He averaged 14.2 ppg and 9.4 rpg for the Bulldogs last season.

Continuing the thread down here...
because I got lost up there. LSU’s dline and front 7 in particular isn’t going to be Auburn’s from last year. They are pinning their hopes on Anthony “freak” Johnson to be the destroyer that Fairley was. Likewise, Sam Montgomery seems to be hyperbolized much by their fan base (legit 4.5 and a menace) but he is rehabbing a knee and some of the more honest fans have doubts he might be a starter. There were a lot of seniors on Auburn’s dline and they were much bigger. The ends for LSU are smaller and some are penciling in Downs because he is a junior (their line will be young) at starting DT (275 pounds).
I am not saying that LSU won’t have a world class dline but let’s not pretend they’re Auburn becasue they are from the SEC. We are going to see a lot of nickle packages from LSU and not Auburn’s base 4-3. I am hearing that their 212 rover will be moved to OLB (Hatcher) and they are replacing thier MIKE in Sheppard. Some are saying that OLBs like Francois and other won’t see the field. They will go small and try to beat us speed vs. speed. I am expecting a much different game than against Auburn.

Most are penciling in Brockers and Downs at DT (300 and a 278 respectively), Adams and Montgomery at (255 and 245) at DE, they will play with two backers 75% of the time with Minters and Hatcher (225 and 212), and they will use a 5 dbs with Mathieu as the nickle backer (180). That is a small lineup. They think they have more speed than us.
Juju is the same yesterday and today and forever.

What people are “penciling in” and what actually turns out remains to be seen. Playing small and fast against a team that is reasonably big AND very fast could be a mistake of epic proportions.

It’s definitely going to come down to our O versus their D… if all things balance out between the two then special teams are going to be a big factor also.
I like our chances in the field position game, and I really like it if we get an early lead cause I don’t think their O is going to bring them back.
I also agree with the worry of the WR corp more than the O-line.
"the putz from that UO blog, Matt Daddy" - Steve Tannen

The good new is that with
all the h back/TZR types we don’t need but one guy to step up from the 4 we have coming. We really don’t rotate that much at WR. LT is a known commodity but I would like to have a burner on the outside and Huff stay in the slot. Between Cole, Dungey, Hawkins, Hoffman, et al. we can get some filler time. It’s going to take one hell of coaching job but this staff has pulled this off several times.
Juju is the same yesterday and today and forever.
I think the weaknesses can be masked
just like I think the weaknesses in our O-line early can be masked with depth and play calling. My biggest fear is that they get us into a number of 3rd and long situations like Auburn did and our WRs are able to get separation.
I also have a theory that Kelly should scrap the hurry up tempo for most of the game and keep the D rested and attacking because I think it’s only a matter of time before Jefferson or Miles screws up and give Oregon a chance to score with field position or turnovers.

CK is up to something...
all those snaps in traditional sets in the spring game were surprising.
Juju is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Those one back sets I think are a way for him to get two TEs on the field and give us an extra blocker capable of getting to the second level when our speed with LMJ or DT or KJB get to the edges. I don’t think they’re for the goal line situation.
Just think how screwed up Miles would feel when he’s prepped all spring summer and fall for a hurry up tempo offense and we go back into a huddle. Now Jefferson is worried about every snap and every opportunity and Miles realizes he’s not going to get 80-90 snaps this game but 40-50 instead.
Now field position and the defense become that much more important. Given the strength of our D and how weak their passing game is, one pick six or botched punt could decide the game.
"the putz from that UO blog, Matt Daddy" - Steve Tannen

I never once though the traditional sets...
were for goal line. Running the ball out of shotgun is a difficult task against elite defensivel lines. You can totally obliterate a less athletic defense but it can actually play to your detriment against an elite defense.

I dunno.
It seems, if this is their actual strategy, that they would be playing to our strengths rather than our weaknesses. The teams that have beat us (other than ’furd) the last 2 seasons sold out to take away the run game by stacking the line with big bodies. Going small and taking away the pass seems to be a recipe for disaster. If our receiving corps is suspect (and I think that hand is a bit overplayed, or at least will turn out to be so), the obvious play is to force us to win in the air. A fast, aggressive, small defense usually tends to overcommit.

They also expect 75% 4-2-5 and they say the starting MLB is 225 and most want to see a 212 OLB and Mathieu push inside on the nickle package at 180. I am assuming they know what to expect since the playe WVU and other spread teams.

I’d love it if they decided to come out in 4-2-5 for most of the game and hope to out physical us at the second level. What are they going to do when that second level guy isn’t a WR but a pulling guard or TE who’s let the DE run free and missed in the backfield?
Their best bet is to go 4-3-4 with the beefiest front 7 they can hope for and hope guys are able to hang 1:1 with the WR. Anything else and they’re screwed.

I’m highly skeptical of that right now. I get people’s worries about the o-line, even though right now we have more experience and more talent already on campus on the o-line than we do at the WR.
But I’m skeptical that the “you don’t block you don’t get the rock” actually translates into quality blocking and talented WRs on the field. It’s a great tag line and just like “I don’t deal in hypotheticals” is fun to say, but unless they’re actually competent and capable of executing it, it’s worthless.

If you’re going to call not being worried about our O-line absurd, how do I even begin to explain to you that we are very thin at WR. Moseley is projection Hoffman as a starter. Yes, Hoffman. Walk on Justin Hoffman is our projected starting WR.

You can overreact to my comment for starters.
Note: Moseley projected Huffman after THE SPRING GAME.

BigGreen...
It will be LT, Huff in the slot and Vaughn/Blackmon/Kelley on the other edge. We heard this before with what’s his name that blocked a punt vs. UW in ’09. The other walk on that was a projected starter after that spring game the year before.
Juju is the same yesterday and today and forever.
That's my point.
First of all, we have talent both in the RS/returning group of players who got little or zero snaps last year. Second, we have an experienced LT and a true soph in Huff who got plenty of reps all over the field last year. Third, you KNOW we’re going to see KJB in the TZR role, which means he could line up anywhere from behind DT to out wide. Fourth, we have an incoming class of receivers that is probably already giving defensive coordinators around the country nightmares. And fifth:

So you’re thinking Vaughan/Blackmon or Kelley are going to jump Hoffman or Hawkins for that 3rd WR spot with a month practice?
"the putz from that UO blog, Matt Daddy" - Steve Tannen

Why not?
Or rather, is it really out of the realm of possibility that at least one of those guys could get snaps right out of the gate?

Out of the realm of possibility? No. Something I’m counting on to win a game against a top 5 team in the country basically on the road? Hell fucking no.
Considering people are worried that an o-lineman like Ramsen Golpshin, Everett Benyard or Karrington Armstrong will be able to step up even though they’ve been in the system and on campus for 2+ years, but we’re ok with a frosh who’s never held a practice at Oregon stepping in at a starting WR spot just seem ridiculous.
"the putz from that UO blog, Matt Daddy" - Steve Tannen
The Daily Faberian
Really?
Center is one of the most critical positions in the entire offense, and we are going to start one of 2 guys with very little experience, one of whom is a walk-on, yet you’ve been downplaying the idea of the inexperienced o-line all day long. Now, at one of the receiver positions we have a need. A need for speed. Hoffman does NOT have that. Nor have I been especially impressed with his hands in the very limited snaps I’ve seen him play. And I’m not even talking about starting per se. You will note I said snaps, not starting. And further, it wouldn’t exactly be the first time in FBS football that a true frosh has started at WR IF one of ours did just that.
Fuck you, Juju. We'll do it ourselves.

Last year...
Huff was making an impact by the time we played ASU in the fourth game. I have no doubt that if pressed into action in the first game, he would have been great (even if it was against a better defense). To say that we won’t get one gem out Vaughn/sumler/Kelley/blackmon is not a stretch at all. In fact, throu French in the mix since half the schools offered him there. Iowa in particular.
Juju is the same yesterday and today and forever.
One of the MOST critical positions? Really? Let’s trade Hroniss Grasu for the best center in the country and give them LMJ or DT for the worst QB or RB in the country. Huh?
And you’ve been downplaying the absolutely zero depth and experience we have at WR.
I get that the center is important, just like the 3rd WR is important or the Guard or TE or TZR. They’re all important. But I’m willing to say that a guy that’s actually been in the system for 2+ years, knows the play calls, blocking assignments/routes, probably has a leg up on the true frosh coming in who’s never seen a Lee Corso play card in his life.
Sure WRs have started for teams. Go ahead and name me the guy coming in that has the credentials and respect that you’re willing to bet he’ll start game one. We have good guys coming in, but no one that commands that right now. Could they surprise us? Sure. But again that’d be a surprise.
"the putz from that UO blog, Matt Daddy" - Steve Tannen
The Daily Faberian
Yes.
Did I stutter, or would you like to see high snaps throwing our offense out of rhythm all season long? What, you don’t agree that center is a critical position? OK. And who gives a flying fuck if a player has 2-plus years in the program if he can’t play the freaking game? If you have a need, you fill it. If one of the new guys pans out quickly, you send him in. Credentials? What freaking “credentials” do our returning receivers other than LT and Huff have? Hawkins…split time between running the scout team at QB and practicing with the receivers all season. Played a few downs in OOC games. Huffman…had a reception, I think? Against PSU? Credentials? Sub-4.5 speed, crazy shake, soft hands. If one of THOSE guys can pick it up quickly, those are the only freaking credentials I need to see.
Fuck you, Juju. We'll do it ourselves.
by BigGreenWreckingMachine on May 24, 2011 11:57 PM PDT up reply actions
Yes, I’d like to see high snaps throwing our offense out of rhythm all season. Wait, that hasn’t happened?
I care if a player has 2+ years experience in our system. It’s not like a ton of high schools are running Kelly’s system. So understanding blocking assignments, routes and play calls is pretty important. Who’s the best true freshman (at any position) to play in Kelly’s system? Huff? He didn’t even get significant playing time and responsibility until game 4 or 5 last year. Other than that… who else?
All I’m saying is that WR is just as much a question mark as O-line if not more. I’m not saying I’m 100% sure about our center and guard position, just like I’m not 100% sure about our WR position. Huff was good last year, but he had some key drops, same with Tuinei. And they’re our two returning guys with experience, and we’re hoping a true frosh can come in and be better?
"the putz from that UO blog, Matt Daddy" - Steve Tannen
The Daily Faberian
Kelly said that the big reason that Huff played early is because he was in shape to play early.
What I understood Chip to be saying is that Huff was strong, close to game ready when he got here. All he really needed to do was settle in, study, and then do what he does. Yeah, he fucked up some and, he made some terrific plays.

Whoa now.
Who said anything about expecting a true frosh to be better than Huff or Tui? This is all about the idea that one of them is better than Justin Hoffman. Again, not a concept that boggles the imagination there. It’s entirely possible that all of the newcomers could be better than Hoffman right from the start, experience be damned.

Matt Daddy...
we have a bevy of guys coming in that can play WR: Blackmon, Sumler, Kelley, and Vaughn are going to play the position and French and Lyerla could play there. Lowe has been injured but is a good athlete with speed. I think at that group of 6 guys we could have burner on hand that could start against LSU.
Juju is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Sorry,
I meand DAT and not Lyerla. However, Lyerla probably will split out like Dickson.
Juju is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Eric Dungy is gonna play some and I think he'll play early.
He really looked good by the end of spring practice going over the middle making tough catches, taking some ferocious hits and making the catch and sometimes the escape. Runs like Cliff.

Seems to me a true frosh named "Huff" got a few snaps.
Hell, if I remember correctly, he even gasp STARTED a couple games when LT went down.

Bison...
We have one of the best LB corps coming in that Oregon has ever seen. I’m not relying on them to carry our MIKE vacancy with Kiko out or being ready to run our complex 4-3/3-4 hybrid system day one.
I’m not doubting the talent we have coming at any position. I’m doubting the ability of any true frosh to come in and fill an immediate need… at O-line LB, DT, WR QB or any other position.
I’m happy to be surprised and wrong… again, it would be a surprise. Why? Because it doesn’t happen very often.
"the putz from that UO blog, Matt Daddy" - Steve Tannen
The Daily Faberian
The problem is...
that you’re lumping center, MIKE, and 3rd receiver together. Centers tend to be the leaders and captains of the offensive lines, and take on even greater importance in hyper-paced shotgun offense. We all know the importance of the MIKE linebacker in every level of play from HS to the NFL. 3rd receiver in the college game, OTOH, while important, is a place where physical skills can reign supreme, by which I mean a green player can keep the mistakes to a relative minimum, the rewards can be great. Mistakes at the MIKE and C positions can cost games.

Both CK and Helfrich said in interviews after spring practices
that WR is one of the few positions a true freshman can step in without knowing much of the offense, be told by DT what side to line up on and what route to run. Everyone else needs to know if it’s a run/pass play, what holes and lanes to block, etc. The TFs may not be a first option, but will get reps during games if TE, TZR, RB, etc. are not open (and prove they can block and catch). I hope to god Miles (and others) takes the “youth” of our receiver corp for granted.

It is easier for a WR to step into our system than a OL. After they figure out where which position the WR will play at, he only has to learn his plays and routes. A OL has to learn every play in the playbook, for every position.
