Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

and get some linemen

Having this sweet recruiting class has taken some of the load off losing to Auburn in the championship. The future is still bright, and Chip is still a great coach. I expect us to compete for the Pac-10 title, and the natty again next season.

Finishing strong in this class would be sweet. We need some Dlinemen desperately.

The only thing that's really going to keep us alive on this board for next month will be recruiting as basketball doesn't look promising.

Hell, after watching the game, we need some more Olinemen as well. Ones we currently have sure aren't cutting it.

York looked overmatched for the entire game against Fairley.

Haha pretty much our entire line looked over matched the entire game.

Well, though it may be hard to accept, this wont be the season Oregon lands defensive bigs comparable to the Auburn's, Ohio States, Alabama's, etc. With that said, this will wind up being the greatest class the University of Oregon has ever signed, and this seasons successes will do wonders for future recruiting efforts. I fully expect to sign a similar, if not superior class next season, especially with the implementation of 15 class limit for USC.

Also, and this is a bit random, but I like Oregon's chances with Marqise Lee. In the end it'll come down to either Cal or Oregon in my opinion(he wants to play WR. That Isn't happening at USC), and I'm hoping the Ducks earn his services.

Anybody coming to visit this weekend? I thought I read once that this was going to be a big weekend for recruits, but I'm not positive.

We got wrs....we got rbs. We have undersized D linemen, enough of that already. Get some big Dlineman. As far as Oregons Oline being overmatched against Fairley...most SEC teams were as well. Of course when you run directly into him time and time again.

One thing I haven't quite figured out, is why we haven't tried to run wide more often, when our O Line is getting blown up like Auburn, Cal, and ASU did.

We tried "wide" numerous times. Either a huge DL or LB was in the backfield to meet the mesch or they were just as fast to the outside fas we were. Let's face it they were big and fast. We're just fast.

chips got a great recruiting tool now though. "we need bigger bodies like you. you will be the difference between getting to the NC and winning the NC."

Every OL in SEC looked overmatched by Fairley this year

Yeah, Malzone (sp) said his oline got dominated by their dline all spring and summer and he thought it was thier oline, but he felt a lot better after no team in the SEC could block them either.

Honestly one of our weakspots this year will be well covered next year with Dwill and Tra Carson, we need that extra beef at RB on those 3rd and short plays. You can't expect a 180-185lbs guy to run for it when they have 8-9 guys in the box to stop it. If we had a JStew or Blount last night on the short yardage run, I think we win.

I think more of the beef could have been used up front and it will certainly increase the next few years with recruiting (OL more than DL for the time being). I do agree that a Blount or JStew type back would have stood a better chance.
