Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

"The Serra duo visited Florida last weekend, and the Gators' anemic offense scored only once, had 226 total yards and lost to South Carolina, 36-14. Quite a contrast from the trip to Eugene."

Glad they got to see Florida's lousy performance firsthand. Also a nice quote from Tyler Johnstone.

Good article!

At least they didn't mention Oregon's ineptness from this past weekend. Oregon has always had the athletes on offense to be good but now are starting to get them on defense for a complete team that can win in many ways instead of just outscoring the opponent.

Very good article, I love to see the ducks going national and able to get some of the top players.

Our offense is 1-2 Stud Wr's away from being absolutely unstoppable. Against Cal we struggled because the OL was getting beat and the main reason they were getting beat was because Cal's front 7 was able to play VERY AGGRESSIVELY due to the fact that we couldn't make plays in the passing game. What Cal did was say "We are going to take away the run game at all cost and force the Ducks to beat us through the air." So what Cal did all game was have their Secondary play either cover 1 or cover zero and let the front 7 attack relentlessly. Sounds pretty simple right?
Well that's because it is and it's also the main reason why Cal's Defense looked so damn fast, they didn't have to do a lot of thinking before or during the play. All they had to do was key their man, attack and hope their teammates held up their responsibilities.
Our problem was that we couldn't make plays against the 1 on 1 coverage in the secondary and part of that was because of the OL struggling, Darron Thomas having a horrible game and because we didn't and still don't have any real homerun threats at the WR position. Now don't get me wrong I love Jeff Maehl and the work ethic of all of our WR's but it doesn't change the fact that we don't have a game changer at the Wr position and when I say game changer I mean someone that opposing DC's have to gameplan for. That is why I think that if we had 1-2 highly talented WR's on this team right now we would have beat Cal by 3 TD's IMO.
Another problem we have is that when Masoli was our QB we were not a very good passing team and it hurt our image with WR's around the country because we used our WR's for mostly blocking. Now we are much more balanced and we are putting up good numbers through the air, which in turn is attracting the eyes of WR's around the country that 2-3 years ago wouldn't have given us the time of day.
We must get a couple of highly talented WR's in this class, as well as DT's but that's another topic for another day. If we can land someone like Farmer or Devon Blackmon I think we could take this offense to a higher level than any of us have EVER SEEN!!!!

I think Huff is one of those 1-2 stud WR's

But after him, we don't really have any that would make a DC gameplan a whole scheme around.

If we can bring in Blackmon along with Sumler in this class, they will fit in nicely with Huff and Lowe. That will be 4 speedy receivers that along with some beefier types to help out with the blocking, should really get this offense clicking.
