is Jordan Bell a bust?

probably wrong word (bust), but they paid a lot of money for a guy who looks like a deer in headlights. most of the time “coach who should i guard, where should i stand, if i get the ball what the hell do i do with it?” obviously been in the dog house all year (zero pt)... based on what we’ve seen in the playoffs, he’ll be in sacramento soon...

Poll: what's wrong with the Oregon offense?

What's wrong with the Oregon offense?

  • Nothing. 9 wins last year, 2nd in PAC-12 in scoring. Looking up for 2019

  • Execution--dropped passes and missed blocks.

  • The Pistol Formation.

  • Unimaginative playcalling, too many inside runs.

  • Lack of trust in Herbert, especially in the 2nd half.

  • Need a true bellcow running back to make Cristobal's vision work.

  • The top teams are explosive. Grinding it out hasn't made the playoffs at Stanford or Wisconsin.

  • Marcus Arroyo is not a top tier offensive coordinator.

  • Despite being an NFL prospect, Herbert hasn't yet taken the next step as a QB.

  • Three head coaches in three years. Had to rebuild depth and talent pool.


Results are only viewable after voting.

Particularly at fishduck.com, the Oregon offense gets a steady stream of criticism.

Many lament the loss of creativity Duck fans enjoyed in the Chip Kelly years.

Do you think the problems the Ducks had offensively last season (especially on the road) will continue to haunt them this year, or do you expect them to show a big improvement in productivity?

One other option I considered adding was injuries. The offense really suffered after Sewell and Warmack got hurt. Losing the #1 tight end in the first game of the season didn't help either.

From the transfer portal article, potential WR?

Saw this in the article. Who knows what will happen, or if it really matters. Article predicts Huston or UO.
The cut and paste method makes for a weird format.

TEXAS TECH
This will be the second transfer of Giles' career, as he originally started at Texas Tech before heading to LSU. Giles was very productive with the Red Raiders, especially in 2016, when he had 69 catches for 1,158 yards and 13 touchdowns. After sitting out 2017 due to transfer rules, big things were expected of Giles in 2018, but he managed just 10 catches for 59 yards on the season. Giles is graduating this summer and will be eligible to play in 2019.

Potential landing spots: Houston and Oregon. Giles is a Texas native, and he would seem to be an ideal fit in Houston’s offense. Oregon was strongly in the mix to land Giles during his last transfer and it has a pretty unproven receiving corps.

There's plenty of steel left in the Oregon secondary

My article today on the Steele transfer and what it means for the Ducks.

https://oregon.rivals.com/news/there-s-plenty-of-steel-left-in-the-oregon-secondary

Two more things about the secondary:

It will help them develop working against this improved group of Oregon wide receivers, particularly the two tall guys, Juwan Johnson and Bryan Addison. That kind of matchup has been a particular problem for them over the last few seasons.

Nothing improves a secondary's performance like a disruptive pass rush. The Avalos defense combined with edge rushers like Lamar Winston, Kayvon Thibodeaux and DJ Johnson is going to make them look good and create opportunities. Offense, particularly passing offense, is rhythm and timing. An intimidating pass rush upsets timing, much like a good pitcher in baseball.
