Helfrich says this is the most talented/fast team he's seen

[Deleted User]

We'll see how the Ducks do during the season. Was watching 1080 the fan on comcast with Issac and Suke. They were saying how the Ducks will go 9-10 wins, how Helfrich is the next Bellotti. He's not another Chip Kelly and you can tell by how they ended the season.

Safe to say those two would have been banned on eDuck.

So to my Ducks in here will Helfrich come through on proclamation of this team? Or will they underachieve by your standards?

With Slingblade at the helm, there is no escaping underachievement. Yeah if you dare to say the ducks will underachieve under Helf Stalin will promptly ban you, but not before you're targeted by fatass Cheswick and smothered by the insufferable giant green font and the idiocy therein. I'm really dismayed by the general foolishness all around. In particular, taking an elite program and running it like a varsity high school team. Does anyone really fucking think that a team with a HC, an OC and a DC, all who had no prior experience at those positions, could really continue what Chip Kelly had built?

Yea they pointed out how they have a new DC with no prior experience after seeing what happened going from Kelly to Helfrich. I wish Seattle radio had guys like Issac and Suke who properly call out the local team.

Hopefully Helfrich will surprise us in a good way

So they are more fast than quick?

Pellum, their "new" DC, has only been the LB coach at Oregon for something like 20 years. Granted, you can say he's not an experienced DC but with the way they run that program it can't be a quantum leap from his previous assignment. Most Duck fans I know think Alliotti was getting stale so the switch to Pellum could just as well energize them as be a set back. I live in the Portland area and anybody who thinks Isaac and Big Suke are any kind of "authorities" on anything except the best all-time fart jokes and Portland's best pizza joint is an idiot. Local sports talk radio in Portland is awful.

Still not as bad as Seattle though.

750 is dead to me after noon.

Oregon will be smaller upfront this year than last year, which is kind of ironic sense our size upfront last year was our achilles heel. But don't worry.........our undersized linebackers from last year will back with some experience. Maybe this year they can line up properly, but that still won't stop them from being ran into the ground by opposing offensive lines. Any coach that calls more than 20 passing plays on us next year, needs to be fired. If teams actually focus on the run against us, Oregon is looking at a 7-5 season.

Believe it or not, 7-5 will give Helfrich a third season. So, year three will be when the wheels fall off. Which is pretty impressive, because I thought even a Paul Roof type higher would take 5 years to ruin us. I'm starting to think Helfrich is just some Husky troll trying to make the Oregon Athletic Department look bad.

Lambo inherited a team that had won three straight conference titles and a shitload of NFL players. It only took him two fucking games to ruin it so be thankful that Helfrich isn't Lambo level shitty.

I guess greenblood missed the news about the players gaining some major weight

I think Oregon will be good this year, and are rightfully the favorite for the Pac 12 title, even with Helfrich. Most of the OL is back, Tyner, Marshall, and Addison, and of course Mariota. The offense should be about as good as it's ever been. The defense with the new coordinator is the question. The ducks were pretty soft up the middle last year, which Stanford and Arizona exploited. I'm still pissed Sark didn't run Sankey 40 times in the game last year. It probably wouldn't have mattered the way Oregon was shredding our defense, but still.

Tequilla

RD,

Voted down for not putting comments in 5 reasons format:

1) Marcus Mariota, he's the best player on the field and enough said about that. He's got 2 years under his belt and will do whatever he needs to do to win the game.

2) Offensive line averages 332 across the board with Fisher, Stevens, Grasu, Ossai, and Hunt. These boys have attitude, speed, and are ready to rumble.

3) Don Pellum, a new defense and a new attitude. Many players and coaches have talked about the difference between Aliotti and Pellum.

4) Speed Speed Speed. This is the fastest team that Oregon has ever fielded with Tyner, Mariota, Marshall, and Addison. There are newbies that we've never heard of that while inexperienced will add an additional dimension of speed.

5) Time of possession. Who are we kidding, Oregon scores too fast for teams that try to play a ball control style and keep Mariota off the field to ever be successful.

I think Oregon wins the PAC rather easily with an average winning score of say, 34-17.

In all seriousness I like UCLA to win the Pac-12 this year.

Fenwick

Might be some closer games for the Ducks. However, the speed and strength of the backs, O line, and the receivers is going to put the big hurt on some teams. We get at least one linebacker to stuff some runs and off we go. MIght be Joe Walker. We will see.

haie

I'm going to sound like a doog but what the fuck ever: who is Oregon going to overtake for one of the top 4 spots? The 2 best teams from each of the SEC divisions will probably be in and then you're looking at probably FSU and then one of MSU/Oklahoma/OSU, etc. You won't even get to that point unless you beat out UCLA and Stanford, which I agree with HNMT, UCLA will probably be the best this year and Stanford has to prove they've taken a step back. Oregon is elite with a top 2-3 quarterback but they have a huge mountain to climb just to get to the title game next year.

If Oregon goes a shitty 7-5 and he gets another year management needs to face the firing squad immediately.

I think it will be UCLA-Oregon in the title game.

I don't know if it's the fact that you guys have dominated just about everybody for awhile now or what, but I would be pretty shocked at a 7-9 win season out of Oregon. If that's the case I would think that the players had lost respect for Helfrich (or Pellum or insert-toolbag-assistant) at some point in the season.
