I posted this over yonder. Thought is was interesting. Hope they have some smart people on this.

This video says everything I have to say about what transpired the last 10 day so much better than I could ever say it. GO DUCKS!

No comment 🤐

The narrative should suit the Ducks just fine. This is legit disrespect, not faux disrepect like other teams/media have claimed the past couple days. Oregon needs to play with a chip on their shoulder. They need to be nasty. They need to improve on that nasty we saw last Saturday. No more letting up regardless of the score. I don't know if it is just me but Ducks are different this year. They have an edge they need to sharpen. There is a grit to them. They are big, fast and strong. I don't know that I have ever seen them have this level of badash to them. This is going to be a great year. The rest of the Pac already hates Oregon. Let them. Stay salty and destroy everyone in your way. Get that rematch with UGA and take what you came for.

The season has played out pretty much as expected to this point. The drubbing of 3 weaker opponents and a tight game in Lubbock ( didn't have to be but for a mile and a half of penatlies). What I didn't expect was the defensive performance of the Oregon D in the last game. Honestly, It looked like something Georgia would display v. bottom half of SEC teams. I started to see it in the Hawaii game. But it was Hawaii so it was hard to read. There were glimpses of what happenend last Saturday the week prior. Buffs QB had nobody open. The secondary play exceptionally well. Especially Jackson. Jackson went from the guy with the PI's in Lubbock to absolute lockdown. The front 7 absolutely destroyed the Colorado front. They were so dominant that the CO qb didn't even have time to check down. It was one read and on his backside seemingly all night long. Ducks learned how to play with focus, intensity and a nastiness last Saturday. Thats something we haven't seen in a long time. At that level, maybe ever. Such an important lesson that will be drawn on the remainder of the season. Ducks have a top defense. Maybe they didn't know it prior to Saturday. But they know it today and everything that comes with it. The offense is what we knew they were. The defense is what we hoped they could become. Play to Saturday standard set and Ducks will get a rematch with the Bulldogs.

Got it I said a lot, I am a little defective that way. I was just going off what mike said. But yea. Deion saw some big success at JSU.

Thats not Colorado

This argument is being introduced a lot. Ok, maybe not an argument but more just a statement. Ducks, starting in the 90's, began to build Oregon from the bottom. Starting with Brooks hiring Mike Bellotti. This led to MB becoming head coach and the Ducks started to rise. Brooks was Oregons coach for 17 years and Bellotti 12. Bellotti and Harrington should have played Miami in the NC. Notre Dame... pfft. During this time Oregon stopped bad mouthing Phil Knight, they kissed and made up and knight started pumping revenue into Oregon athletics. This was a huge factor in Oregons success. Bellotti hired Chip then passed the head coaching job to Kelly. The rest is history. But the foundation was layed over the course of RB and MBs tenure with a huge dose of Nike and PK. Pretty condensed version I know. Kelly changed the way college football was played. And espn loved him for it. Kelly changed the trajectory of this sport that will ripple through for years to come. Colorado hired a huge personality. They hired a man that is a top 5 athlete of all time. Sanders and Bo Jackson are arguably the two best athletes to ever play sport. Like Oregon is today, Colorado used to be a quasi blue blood school. They aren't becoming "something else". At best they are trying to regain something they once were. Sanders hasn't tranformed college football and changed the way the game is played like Oregon did. Will he? Perhaps, but I doubt it. What Deion has done is win three games. He has used his GOAT status and huge personality to bring recognition to Colorado. And it has been very entertaining. They are a fun team to watch and have captivated the common fan. Sanders was incredibly successful at JSU. But just as Mike West said, he failed to change the game at the HBCU level. Mike said he tried his damndest, but was not successful. Gotta give Sanders credit for trying. So I don't understand the comparison to Oregon. Greater things might be to come for Sanders, he ain't done yet. But they have yet to come. Colorado is not Oregon, nobody is. Oregon is Oregon and much like Sanders the man, cannot be replicated. With that said... a week from Saturday... Go Buffs! Every week... Go Ducks!

Coach Sanders is an excellent leader. His players respond at a hight level for him. As coach "Prime" goes, so does his team. That said, Sanders knows he doesn't have the dogs Oregon has. He also knows Ducks have and excellent staff headed by Dan Lanning. No matter how much Deion tries to hid it, he knows. And as a result, his players know. As goes Deion so go the Buffaloes 🐃 💩

There will be times that this specific play will be executed to perfection. Hat on hat. When, not if, that happens it will be 6. I am sure when JPJ got back to the sideline he was coached up. The less plays you run, the less the ball is in jeopardy. I hope this play or similar looks will be run often. Pretty good chunk even though there were slight mistakes made. Playing the interior is a tuff place to play, especially stunts. There is a ton of moving pieces and it gets pretty hectic. Guys get lost in the crowd easy. All in all, it was successful. With a newly formed O line and it being fairlycomplex, 8 yards is a good gain.

That is well designed. I am not sure it was blocked correctly but i will take 8 yrds all day long. Looks like JPJ kinda wiffed in this play. He never really got a block on this example. If the left side of the line holds up for a split second and JPJ recognized the LB in the cut back, thats a touchdown. Just a well designed play but also shows that the interior line needs just a little more work. Great example Charles, for more than one reason. Like I said, 8 yards. The rest is just me being greedy

Agree, when your corner doesn't get mentioned, thats a good thing.

Yea but the other half+ of the battle is in the trenches. Tech smokes Buffs at LOS. Ducks cover.

Does that make you "The FushDuck Chuck"? Asking for a friend

Aren't the LB's converted safeties.

It's to bad Buffs interior line play is so horrendous. I am looking for Popo to have a career day. Derrick Henry called, said his ACL still hurts coach!

I think most of the country has it wrong about strength of Colorado. They are far better than they were last season but in my hunble opinion, they are not top 25. But this game will be about perceptions. And the higher the perception of CU, the better for the Ducks. So I am good with it. If Oregon wins by 3 or 30, how the rest of the country views Oregon rises imo. Its only if Oregon loses (not happening) do the Ducks get hurt. That makes this game very valuable for bringing in future recruits. What a great opportunity for Lanning and the Ducks to solidify themselves in the minds of recruits. Go Ducks

Lanning had big things to say about Florence this week. When asked about Jahlil, his whole face lit up. You could see him struggle to contain his excitement. Lanning talked about JF stepping up to a high level and that Lanning believes Florence has the ability to reach another level. Thats how I remember it anyhow. I expect Jahlil Florence to be lockdown by end of season.

Oregon Football: Where Ducks’ defense ranks nationally after Week 3 DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM Where Oregons’ defense ranks nationally in key statistics after non-conference play These numbers are looking much better from last years numbers. Rushing is a major concern as is special teams, but all in all Ducks sit ranked 30th in the country. I believe most of the sting on the ground comes from lack of containment of mobile QBs. Get that under control and the rushing numbers should inprove drastically. This weekend is going to challenge these numbers. A fat WOW on the passing D. The DBs have really performed well so far. One thing that sticks out in my mind is the intermediate passes between the hash. Doesn't feel like the Ducks have been hurt as they were last year in that area of the D. The competition will get much better from here on out. So the numbers are going to change. My hope is that they can keep total D somewhere in the mid 30's. Going to be a huge task. Go Ducks.

Penalties played a big roll in why Tech was even in the game 2 weeks ago. 124 yrds surrendered would usually result in a loss. Late game heroics saved Ducks bacon. Last week was a little better but still a major concern.gotta get that under control and soon. I can't say Buffs are a better team than Tech, I don't think they are at this point, but if you spot CU 124 yards they can beat you. One thing I see in Oregon that we haven't really seen... ever! It is their ability to come at you in waves. the depth of Oregon is a huge advantage, especially as the season progresses. I don't think any team in the Pac-12 can match Oregon when it comes to highly talented depth. Those fresh bodies will be a dagger for so many in this conference. It runs through several position groups and thats a big problem for Pac-12 opposition. Colorado has a couple excellent skill position players that can work some magic. But as argued here on OBDF a million times, football games are won in the trenches. Colorado just doesn't compete with Oregon in talent at the line of scrimmage. There is a reason Vegas has this at -20. I don't know much about sports betting but those that set these numbers get it right most of the time. That said, TCU happened so Ducks better come to play. Buffs can/will hurt you if you don't.

Smith is a legit coach. He has the Beavs in position to be a serious contender for the Pac title and a playoff appearance. With everyones focus on USC, Fusky and the Ducks as the probables, Smith and the Beavs are a true dark horse to spoil the party. My hope is Beavs play their way into the power 4. I don't know that they can afford Smith without power 4 revenue. Smith is at 4.8 mil on first year of a 6 yr 30 mil contract. Mtn west teams are guaranteed 4 mil per team in media revenues. I think its dirty whats happening to OSU and WSU. Will they get a golden parachute? I don't think they do. But I think Smith stays mum until after the season. He won't do his Beavs dirty like that. He is tied in to deep with OSU. He will wait till the last minute. So I don't think MSU gets JS. Timing is off and that buys OSU time to work some magic. I too would love to see JS in Corvallis for a long time.

What a clever way to catch the culprit of foot stink in the locker room. 😳

I have been very vocal about my dislike for Deion Sanders. I have my reasons and those reasons are valid. A couple people on this forum are aware of why and how I got to this place and my reasoning behind it. That said... I also believe that Sanders is genuine. That he truly loves (as a verb) his players and the game of football. I believe, if he could have, he would have taken that hit so Travis Hunter would not have had to. That brings me to this article. This is actually the first time I have been able to recognize any sense of humility from Deion Sanders. Not saying it was not already there, just saying I couldn't see it. I am not going to say that the things I find detestable about the man and my reactions to it will wane. But I might be able to recognize the assets he brings to the table as a man. As with most men, we are a mixed bag. Especially those with enormous personalities. Many here know the dialog I had with another gentleman over the weekend. Many feel the same way I do/did about Sanders. But it brought me to atleast ponder about my thoughts of Sanders. It forced me to open my eyes a bit where Deion is concerned. That back and forth is proving to be extreamly valuable. I do not regret it happened. Quite the opposite, I am glad it happend. I probably have a lot of "Rod Tidwell" attributes. I don't like the mans style, I detest it. But at this moment I have a huge admiration of his love for others. It became clear through the events of this weekend and the way Deion Sanders has carried himself in regards to Travis Hunter. Who knows, maybe I will root for the guy someday.

This is going to be a great look if they can pull it off. Hope every ticket holder gets the memo.

Lanning has always preached "Main Thing". This presser he masterfully kept the main thing the main thing. They tried to bait him. Some really dumb questions asked. DL seems locked in and focused. Doesn't seem caught up in outside noise. Well done coach.
