14 hours ago14 hr No. Mike, thanks for posting that video. It was eye opening and worth the view.My takes from the video.Those dig and crossing routes take time to develope. The Duck O line blocked as a unit and gave DR the time he needed for the routes to come open. Good job O Line......The Duck QB cannot get happy feet and bail. DR did not bail. He bounced on his toes, ran thru his progressions and let the routes develope. He thru to where the receivers were going to come open. Nice work DR......The relentless dig, crossing and out routes had the usuck defenders confused and out of place. It also wore them out, resulting in the Ducks 4 quarter dominance The usuck defensive confusion set up the 60 yard screen play for Hill. Get NFL talent in space and great things happen.As you mentioned, the Duck D has the same problem. The difference maker was the 2 early sacks. The usuck QB was trying to go thru his progressions and Duck pressure nailed him.After that he was comitted to a specific receiver for his targets. His top level talent made that work.Until the 4th quarter. He had no running game and no time. Ducks tightened coverage and usuck could not score late in the 4th.Kudos to the Duck defense. They stopped usuck on 4th and 7 in usuck territory. Thats progress.......Go Ducks......
13 hours ago13 hr Administrator No. He pointed out plays by Raiola that were not as successful, and I personally saw a number of receivers open downfield that he did not see and throw to. But he is looking downfield more than Dante Moore does, and as Max said...."this was an unbelievable performance coming in as a backup."I will be watching the game closely later this week, and will give some feedback. I will be looking very closely at the offensive line, as there is upside, but I do not know if that upside can materialize in time before our date in Columbus.How do you like the background photo of Jamari Johnson with a catch downfield? Mr. OBD
