Quack Fix: Lavasier Tuinei, Daryle Hawkins, and Justin Hoffman look to make an impact at receiver
22 days until the start of the season, but only 20 days to college football. Enjoy the summer now, because it's not lasting much longer. Here's your quack:
- First off, let's get to the practice recaps. Moseley, Goe, and Chris Courtney have the latest. Don't get to worked up about the offensive line just yet. Presumed starters Darrion Weems and Ryan Clanton were late arrivals to practice, most likely for academic reasons. But despite this, the offensive and defensive lines got some good competition in during the first contact day of fall camp. Make sure to check out video from Chip Kelly and Lavasier Tuinei after the jump.
- Speaking of Tuinei, he's got a big job this year. While he had some great grabs as the #3 receiver last year, he will have to take a big step forward to get fans to forget about Jeff Maehl and D.J. Davis. He is expecting an expanded role this year, and looks forward to proving himself more than just a possession receiver.
- The competition behind Tuinei and Josh Huff will be fierce, and two veterans are hoping to make the most of their time. Daryle Hawkins has been moved permanently to WR after holding down the third and fourth string QB positions the last two years. Without having to worry about multiple positions, hopefully we'll get to see Hawkins athleticism shine as he can focus only on playing receiver.
- Former walk-on Justin Hoffman will also get a chance to compete for serious playing time, and is holding off the influx of new talent. While coaches extol his virtues such as "dependability," Hoffman was one of the top performers at receiver during winter conditioning, having the best shuttle time and power clean at the position.
- Switching things up, how about a little basketball news. Dana Altman is taking the team on a tour of Italy later this month. It should be a good time for the team to come together, especially with so many changes happening this offseason. Unfortunately, it looks like some of the new transfers may not be able to make the trip.
- Joevan Catron has signed a professional contract with the Wollongong Hawks in Australia. Congratulations and good luck to Joevan.

Also, here’s a Training Camp Report from the Texan’s SBN site, Battle Red Blog. Sounds like Maehl is doing great!
4. Speaking of Leinart, Brooks Reed picked off a pass he threw and almost took it to the house and would have succeeded had Jeff Maehl not caused him to fumble the ball before getting to the end zone.
11. I said earlier that I think Jeff Maehl has a very good chance at making this team. According to Lance Zierlein, Coach Kubiak seems to think the same thing.
Listening to Gary Kubiak talk about undrafted rookie Oregon WR Jeff Maehl this morning leads me to believe he has a shot at making the team.

I put that in the top 10 best play calls ever. Brilliant in every way. I wonder when Chip will dig it out again, we have the players to run that formation.
I think if we run the statue of liberty, everyone on defense is going to be so worried about the fake, that we could just run the statue of liberty play again.

What the hell is our O-line doing there? If Michigan wasn’t so completely bamboozled they have 4 or 5 guys free to make the tackle.

Honestly?
I was sad for Dixon but I thought we still should have won each of those last 3 games, and I was pissed at how our team pussed out, no heart. Yes, there was also the fact that Dixon was just the last in a long line of injuries, but we certainly had a chance to beat Zona, then the UCLA game was the worst display of football by two teams in the history of football, which means we had a shot at that. I went into that game thinking we wouldn’t lose it. Then against the Bavers, it looked like we started to drop the ovaries back into the ball sack, but just couldn’t quite get it done.
In all, two gigantic puss outs, one reasonable puss out.
All with our original NCG shot on the line, and three shitty teams to get past and find some way to get it done.
Honestly, Dennis Dixon was a hero and an all time stud, but the heart in the rest of that team was very, very meh.

Are “slot receiver” and “possession receiver” the same thing? When the tazer lines up, is it always on the LOS or does it depend on the play?

TZR mean "Tailback, slot ("Z"), wide Receiver."
IOW a TZR can line up at any of those positions as necessary. If Barner is in the game at the same time as LMJ for instance, rather than sub in a player to suit the situation (and therefore by rule allowing the defense to sub as well, killing momentum) CK can have KJB line up as needed depending on the play being called.
“Possession receiver” isn’t a position but a type of player. It generally refers to a sure-handed, precise route runner who can be counted on to make the catch to keep a drive (or “possession”) alive.

by BigGreenWreckingMachine on Aug 12, 2011 12:20 PM PDT up reply actions
Sorry, I should have been more specific
My confusion stems from the a RB (at least in my head) not lining up on the LOS. When the tazer role requires Barner (or whoever) to be in the slot, does he line up on the LOS or is he a yard or two back? Is he still considered a slot receiver if he runs it from a two TB formation? I think I’m confusing routes (button hook) and plays (screens) with positons? There’s no reason a RB can’t run a flag route (other than weirdness?).

You can "shift" more than one player, but after you're set I believe you can only have one player "in motion."

They can’t move abruptly after a 3-point-stance. They can shift their weight around, but even if they do shift their weight, they need to stop moving for 2-seconds. That’s why you’ll see the center call out protection and then wait before snapping the ball, even if the QB signaled for it.

Usually back from the LOS.
Again, the “TZR” role means the player can line up at the Tailback, Slot (Z), or wide Receiver. So if he lines up next to DT, he’s a tailback. If his out wide, he’s a WR, etc. He’s listed as a running back and wears a RB number, so that’s “officially” his position.

Not exactly, but slot receivers run a lot of inside routes. So you want a guy with good hands, good concentration, good separation, and can take good a hit.
The LOS doesn’t exactly matter for a slot, but you need at least 7 players on the LOS, and only the two on the outside of the LOS are eligible receivers.
So if the slot guy is on the LOS, the receiver on the outside needs to be off the LOS in order to be an eligible receiver.

The direction Kelly is taking our offense
Seems to be about combining the slot receiver and RB positions. Right now we have a ton of fast, versatile players like Barner, Huff, and (eventually) DAT and Lyerla. Whether their nominal position is RB, WR, TE, or whatever, I can see us just rotating through a bunch of guys who are a threat to either go out in the slot or come into the backfield as a RB.
That's the "TZR" or "Tazer" role.
Tailback, slot (“Z”), and wide Receiver.

IIRC, technically "Z" is the "flanker" position and "Y" is the "slot."
With “Z” being the receiver next to the TE. But it seems they’re used interchangeably any more.

Generally, you’re right. But it does vary from team-to-team.
I believe in our offense Y is a flanker and X is split end, Z is slot or some such nonesense.

When I watch these videos this is what I hear:
“Traditional powers like Alabama, Florida, and Texas can lose any number of linemen and be expected to recover because, goddamnit, they’re Texas, Florida, or Alabama. Great programs get the benefit of the doubt when it comes to replacing key players. But them folks out in Ory-gone just don’t fit the bill, so while we admit that they are good, we don’t trust them in the same way we trust other big time football programs. I wish they’d just go away and let USC be good again, things were so much easier back then. Everything was as it should be. I hate change.”

Well, you’d want to track how much is poured, and charge based on that. Which means you’re already monitoring how much is being poured.
When it the counter hits X oz, you just have it cut it off until a server can come by and check up on everyone. If they think they are okay, they can punch in whatever they think is appropriate until they need to come by again.

It was interesting being in New York and seeing the sources of their inertia. It’s even worse there – can’t even sell wine in regular stores. Instead of the reg agency, they have corrupt business groups strong-arming producers into keeping the restrictions in place.

Been meaning to all summer. Tried Caldera’s Rauch Ur Bock. I’ve been really intrigued by rauchbiers for a while (partly because Rauch is nearly the same as the original German spelling of my last name) but this was the first time trying one.
Very, very nice. Hard to describe totally, but well balanced – and touches like the cherrywood gave some really nice subtle fruit notes without really being at all fruity. In fact, my girlfriend said that her first sip set off her vegetarian alarm, as in the smokedness created an impression or aspect of meat, like jerky or some such thing. Overall one of the more unique beer experiences I’ve had in a while.
i had that in a 22 once, the first few sips made me think I was drinking liquid smoke, but after my nose adjusted, I noticed a lot of delicious subtleties
Liquid smoke, huh? Kinda like drinking bong water?

Like the beer topic but since i am in Florida and we seem to have no good beer i dream of what you guys drink.
While still being in the united states.

Eh.
Having lived in Germany for instance, I can tell you there are many, many beers that are just OK at best. Nothing as bad as PBR, but plenty that I avoided. Not that most of the servicemen didn’t just buy taxpayer-subsidized Bud from the PX or Enlisted Men’s Club.

If the brewer chooses to adhere to it.
It’s no longer a law.

Sort of OT
I watched the Ravens v. Eagles game was last night while at the gym. I thought it was from the early to mid 2000’s because #92 wasn’t on the field. It looked all old-timey on the SD exercise bike TV. Turns out it was preseason!

I love Chip Kelly. That is all.
Even after five days, Kelly said he is no closer to figuring out who the No. 3 running back will be behind LaMichael James and Kenjon Barner.
“It doesn’t matter,” Kelly said. “We don’t even talk about it. we’ve never had a personal meeting. We don’t care.”
