Your tent city living fans and alums don't think O line is a big loss either.lawsandl said:
Verone McKinley, Nick Pickett, Steve Stephens, Jordan Happle and Bennett Williams have already played a lot of football. Even Jamal Hill has played. Secondary isn't a big concern.dirtysouwfdawg said:
Quook. They suck until they don’t.lawsandl said:
Oregon added Jordan Happle from Boise State whom Avalos likes a lot. Also, Steve Stephen made some big strides in the offseason. Bennett Williams has already proven he can play at a high level. The group won’t be as good but they aren’t falling back to average. Verone McKinley’s jump from freshman to sophomore year could make the group good.CarlosDanger said:
Lenoir changed his mind and is now returning, so the Oregon secondary isn't in too bad of shape. Lenoir and Mykael Wright will be in the running for the top corner duo in the conference. Losing Holland and Breeze will drop the Ducks from having arguably the top group of safeties in the conference to just being average.AtomicDawg said:
4/5 of their secondary is gone now too. I liked their defense a lot. Not i don’t know about the defense as much and hate their offense. Nobody in the conference screams favorite though. And Oregon actually cares, meaning they try to win. So there is that.CarlosDanger said:
Yeah, high potential for them to underachieve for those reasons. The Ducks do look solid at all other positions though, plus they are perceived to have the best coaching staff in the conference, so that could explain the mediots ignoring some glaring flaws/question marks.EastCoastDoog said:But can someone explain to me the Oregon hype? Aren’t they replacing a first round QB and an entire OL? Isn’t that the shit that the football nerds usually care about when they look teams pre-season?
The biggest concern far and away is the OL. -
With Sewell gone, it’s going to be a project. That being said, there isn’t a DL on the schedule that is scary.haie said:

Dude, that is an average group of safeties. Like I said to begin with, the Oregon secondary is in pretty good shape. They still have two good starting corners (with Lenoir opting back in), but the safety position has gone from being elite to just being ok. Nick Pickett is the most likely starter of the bunch and he is pretty average.lawsandl said:Verone McKinley, Nick Pickett, Steve Stephens, Jordan Happle and Bennett Williams have already played a lot of football.

Do you need to face a "scary" DL with an inexperienced o line/qb to drop games?lawsandl said:

McKinley started all 9 Pac 12 games at FS and had 4 ints as a freshman. At least know what you’re talking about. There is a high floor with Pickett and McKinley at Safety. Bennett Williams and Jordan Happle provide good depth.CarlosDanger said:

Jamal Hill and Steve Stephens are high ceiling kids.
Lastly, the progression of DJ James could allow for one of the corners to be a nickel. It will be interesting to see what the staff does with this unit.

You weren't aware? Head too far up your ass?dOgmaster said:Nope. Wasn’t aware browning had 2. Not many people liked his play. Personally I Iike Locker and wished he could have won one.
