Oregon’s Bizarre Radar-Psycho-Times Square Zone Blitz!

+

This was a ton of fun to make and I learned a ton consulting for the video. There is always more I could have put in, but we can’t go too long. It was also handy to have the defensive plays of two years charted by a coach in Colorado for me, which was a ton of work that I benefited from. Come back here to discuss, and I can’t help wondering that if this isn’t the blitz we’ll see the most this year with our fast and experienced personnel? Thanks to all.

Ducks add JC running back, Bill Chimphalee

20

The Ducks released their 105 man camp roster today and Rob Moseley reports several new additions, including junior college running back Bill Chimphalee from Kenai, Alaska. Chimphalee is a 6'0, 215 lbs running back and will have two years of eligibility at Oregon. Not a lot is known about him at this point but he is the type of bruising, change-of-pace back that will add depth and versatility to the Oregon backfield. You can watch his video highlights here. It looks like he does a lot of blocking out of the backfield and on special teams, which is always integral to Oregon's run/return game. He's also an early front-runner for the "best name on the team" crown with news that Axel McQuaw is NOT on the 105 man roster. According to Moseley, other walk-on additions include freshman running back Lane Roseberry (6-1, 230) from Bly, freshman linebacker Dawson Housley (6-3, 200) of Eugene, and junior offensive lineman Hushun Smith (6-3, 323) of Los Angeles.

ESPN announced the broadcast teams for this season today. Of note, I did not see Mike Bellotti anywhere on the list. Anyone know if he is going to still be on the studio shows, or if he was cut entirely?

Fischer: Oregon Notice of Allegations Should be Coming This Season

30
Bryan Fischer, a sports writer for CBSSports.com, notes that the Oregon Notice of Allegations from the NCAA should be coming sometime during the upcoming season. In another conversation with a follower, he did confirm that he was hearing that directly from the NCAA/Oregon. ------------------------------- Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports has also been talking about the notice of allegations and where things stand. Robinson has no predictions on what will happen with the NCAA case because, like most of us, he sees it as the weirdest case he's ever followed, mostly due to the length of the investigation and lack of movement. He also goes on to say that Chip will definitely survive this whole situation at Oregon. Another interesting note is not IF the Willie Lyles relationship matters but HOW MUCH it matters in the eyes of the NCAA.

Moseley: Josh Huff's DUII trial pushed back to January 23rd

+

Interesting news this afternoon as Rob Moseley of the Register Guard is reporting that Josh Huff's trial for a DUII arrest last March has been pushed back to January 23rd. Sounds like there are multiple issues that make the incident more complicated than a typical DUII case. Huff has pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor charge. It's unclear how the ongoing case will affect Huff's eligibility this fall, though the athletic department has yet to levy any discipline. Huff was Oregon's leading receiver last year and figures to be an even bigger part of the offense this year now that he is fully healthy. In an interview with Dan Rubenstein of Solid Verbal, Chip Kelly indicated that Huff was one of several players he expects to use in a hybrid WR/RB role this year.
