5 things to know about Oregon Ducks defensive coordinator Tim DeRuyter
“ He runs a base 3-4 scheme
The biggest change for Oregon under DeRuyter will be along the defensive line, though it’s not going to be drastic. He runs a base 3-4 scheme, though Cameron Goode played more of a rush-end role similar to Mase Funa as the stud end in Oregon’s existing scheme.
What will be most different is how the Ducks utilize their interior defensive linemen, which there’s an abundance of. DeRuyter also uses four-down sets, though, so this isn’t going to be a massive change at all.

His defenses have ranked in the top 25 in sacks six times in the last 15 years
Getting pressure on the quarterback is a pillar of any effective defense, and DeRuyter’s groups have done that quite well historically. His defenses have ranked in the top 25 nationally in sacks per game in 2006 at Nevada, 2008 at Air Force, 2009 at Texas A&M -- which led the country -- 2012-13 at Fresno State and 2019 at California.
This is an area of significant concern for Oregon, which had just 12 sacks in seven games in 2020, its lowest rate since 2004.

He’s coached All-Americans Evan Weaver, Phillip Thomas and Von Miller
DeRuyter has coached inside and outside linebackers, defensive backs and safeties as a position coach and had star pupils in All-Americans Evan Weaver, Phillip Thomas and Von Miller at Cal, Fresno State and Texas A&M, respectively.

He’s a West coast guy, familiar with the Pac-12 and Oregon’s staff
DeRuyter is from Long Beach and went to St. John Bosco High School in Bellflower, California. He’s spent the last nine seasons in the state of California and majority of his career in the Mountain and Pacific time zones.
He worked with Oregon inside linebackers coach Ken Wilson and running backs coach Jim Mastro at Nevada in 2005-06.”
Also, since when is there an abundance of interior DL at Oregon?
That’s why they run a 4-3. If you have stud interior linemen you run a 3-4 because he’ll clog up blockers to allow the linebackers to roam free. But with the shitty talent at DL the Ducks need to go with a 4-3, so they can have bodies to help take the blocks one good DL would take.
Very stupid, I agree, to let your predominantly African-American roster see the true colors. Good news is, plenty of time for the players to portal to more racially enlightened programs.
I know you’re just being an asshole for fun, but making this about racism is about as soft as Pac12 football gets and why we? will always be a second-rate conference.
All the white coaches in the SEC have destroyed that conference because players don’t like it.
I think there are a lot of reasons why the Pac 12 may always be a second rate conference. But I don't think Grumble will be one of those reasons.
I guess it depends on ones definition of “abundance”,I count 14 Defensive linemen including the 2021 recruiting class so far.
Interior DL?
Seven DT’s listed before completion of 2021 class.
That's a long way from 14
No I said 14 Defensive linemen which is Correct. You are just being a pussy. You reminded me “interior” linemen and I responded seven......big fucking deal. You seem to want to bitch like an old lady.
There is nothing wrong with anything I said. These kinds of stupid little pickyunish BS childish “gotcha“ type comments waste everyone’s time.
I questioned the article's claim that there is an abundance of interior DL as I know this is the position UO has had the biggest issue recruiting and you responded that there are 14. It's not my fault you can't read.
Hey dickhead I corrected my post and you came back with a childish gotcha bullshit post rather than choosing to have a conversation. I can’t help it if you are an immature asshole.
JFC are you for real? You're like the Oregon Ballz, only dumber and not from Tacoma.

Low key great hire. Until he pulls an Avalos. If Oregon were seriously serious about foosball they would have given Kwat 3 mil a year. Hold his fucking kids hostage(I assume kwat has kiddos), COME TO OREGON.

Keanu Williams will be 9 and Mario said McNeill could end up inside as well. Jaylen Smith should end up inside on the DL as well.
To be fair, @GrundleStiltzkin went off the deep end.
