- On this edition of the Autzen Audibles Podcast, Matt Prehm and Erik Skopil open up the mailbag podcast to answer your questions about the program. How does the offensive struggles impact our outlook ahead of the rest of the season for the Ducks? Does Oregon's offensive line issues get fixed or could this be a sign of what's to come? What about that Oregon defense and how well they played? Thoughts on the offensive playcalling? We discuss it all on this podcast!
I think Oregon will be fine but probably wont go undefeated. Maybe the bigger story was how well some of the other Big Ten teams played. Really impressed with the depth while watching some of the best Big Ten teams. Even teams like Maryland, Indiana, and Purdue looked good. I think Purdue with a 5 Star QB and multiple Georgia/Sec transfers are going to give Notre Dame all they can handle at home in a couple weeks.
Yes they will But Oregon will not go 12 and 0. They couldn't even go undeafted in pac12. 1 or 2 loses for sure
"Toned down gamelan". Even if it was a "toned down gamelan", wouldn't you still want to block? It was nothing toned up or toned down. It was a porous offensive line with no time. That's it. End of story
The O-line was broken.... Flat out.... How soon can it be fixed is the question
Something is up with the O line. You just don't have 4 starters from last year get overpowered by Idaho. Regardless of the scheme and the changes, that is just an issue of strength and agility. Idaho bullied them and that is concerning. Washington did the same to them twice last year and it cost Oregon two games. They recruited well on the O line, put some of the new kids in. Oregon always hesitates to give new players some game time. Let's see McRoy, lets see Brooks, and Crader. Put them in. It was just Idaho. Maybe some in game competition is what these guys need to kick them in the a** and get them going. The O line does not have a leader. They are all timid, soft spoke guys. They need a dog in the O line that will be able to pick them up when they start making mental mistakes and are just not on their game. Brooks is young but with some confidence he can definitely be that dog they need.
They have not recruited well along the O line- that’s been the issue. Conerly and Pancho are the only ones Dan hit on, and only Pancho for Terry. Terry can’t recruit.
@@McChadwickable You don't know what the fuck you are talking about. OL hasn't been an issue in any sense, except for this one game sample, the first game of the season and a limited playbook. You really need to go back to school or something. Someone needs to teach you not to say stupid shit on the internet. Someone needs to do an intervention in your life for the sake of humanity.
This the realist comment from duck fans , I don’t get why a walk on was on the field before the guys we recruited like why Rodrick pleasant not on the field he better then donate manning dude is not good but he keep starting we got so many good DB on that sophomore & freshman & they need to be on the field or they go hit the portal I’m tired of watching Dontae manning dude like we already know what he is I wanna see these young guys give them a shot I don’t get it either bro Dan or tosh somebody needs to stop doing this
Definitely don’t have a leader they looked soft & didn’t wanna play they look like they just didn’t wanna be there at all DG was really running for this life had to throw short passes & couldn’t run the ball at all we couldn’t throw deep cause they was being soft against Fcs school idk man I don’t see us winning natty this year with that OL maybe I’m wrong I just never seen a team win a natty struggle with FCs school our OL could be our downfall I pray it not
So... here's what worries me. Now PFF isn't "Truth" but just based on the PFF grades Marcus Harper and Charlie Pikard performed right in line or slightly better than their 2023 season performance. Josh Conerly and Poncho had a pretty poor pass blocking game. In fact the Idaho game would be good for their second worst game of pass blocking from last season. Ajani Cornelius had a poor night for pass and run blocking but he had worse games last year.
Is the O-line just inconsistent and this was bad luck to have 3 starters have bad games or are there serious concerns with the composition or play calling? I know the Oregon O-line is generally considered to be a better pass blocking than a run blocking line and JPJ is a significant loss on that front but I really hope this is a statistical fluke or the O-line secretly had the Flu.
Entire O line looked slow and no physicality. Friend of mine sat right behind where the O lineman were on the bench. He said they were gassed from the beginning. No energy. He noted the poor performance when we played Georgia the first game and he thinks Lanning is wearing out the O line the way he's emphasizing the physicality. Who knows but they looked second rate.
That's a good point about the overwork. I remember an interview with a pro scout who said he faded Alabama lineman and backers because Saban used them up in college and their bodies were older than their age. Then again, Saban had good line rooms.
Agreed when it’s this hot you cannot over work your guys . Same with Georgia super hot.
They're all alcoholics
really good pod today boys
The big problem with the tightening of the playbook and anti-QB run is we were only up 3 with 6 minutes left in the game. You can’t lose the game protecting your players. Thankfully, we got the W.
It could be that left handed qb changes things for a right tackle it will work out
The words “number 6 Cal team” sounds so funny now
I didn't see leadership or confidence on the offense except from Tez Johnson. I think they will get better, but it needs to start at QB. It looked like the QB and offensive line thought their superior talent would take care of everything, but obviously if the other side plays together it matters.
Oregon didn't adjust well at all to the Idaho defensive line and linebacker calls, in fact it looked like Idaho was ignored. It reminded me of Cristobal calling a run behind Sewell on 4th and one everytime. The entire defense knew it was coming and had 11 guys waiting right there each time. Then rinse & repeat.
Boise has the tape of this last game and I'm certain they will try to confuse whoever Oregon has at Center, and Dillon Gabriel needs a crash course on what to expect.
The fact that Oregon's defense was strong against Idaho gave the offense so many extra chances they will not likely get against Boise St.
D did look good but wheres the touted linebackers?
One got hurt early and the other one played 8 snaps for some reason.
I don’t know why we’re thinking we can figure out the O line. Strother cannot play at this level, Iuli hasn’t proven anything (and is made of glass), Pancho looked terrible and we’re starting a walk on at Center (who very much looks like a walk on). This is group won’t be fixed.
Ironically almost all the pressures and all the sacks came from The right side of the line. Poncho and Cornelius played the worst.
@@jeremydisbrow9814Rogers looked completely unplayable, but he played the least. The early 3Q sack was on Pickard. He also got pushed around almost every play, but minimal busts on his part. Agree on Pancho- he looked uncoached and out of shape. Worst game I’ve seen from Ajani yet.
Yeah, that line play is not getting fixed anytime soon.
11-1 after that ? nah i think 9-3 at best after that pathetic performance
At best. I’m thinking 7-5. They got owned by a FCS school. 1 and 2 star recruits. Lanning is clueless
You think that they're just going to stay like that????! You do know college football right? It can get pretty strange... They have way too much time to play like that all year
@@ramspencer5492 The problem is the QB is too short to see downfield. Even the OC said he was going to stick to dink and dunk. Plus no RB. All they got is little 5 9” scat backs. 2.5 yards carry vs a FCS school?
Lanning didn’t go after Cam Ward and Martinez. Instead Mario took them. Now look.
O-Line , establishing the run ( interior) and pushing the ball down the field. But yeah starts at the Line.
Guys, you need to take a breath here. Georgia Southern scored 45 points, put up 461 yards of offense. GS qb threw for 322 yards. Boise State trailed in the game 4 times. Boise had 1 TD in the air. They were wildly erratic. If GS scores in the first quarter they win. Boise dbs and special teams are terrible. You're giving them far, far too much credit. Boise should've won by 30. If GS has even a mediocre defense this game is completely different.
My biggest concern is that maybe it was not an oline problem but rather a problem with the guy running the oline. The offense was designed for Bo's timing and progression and DG just ain't as quick
Anyone that predicted a perfect 12-0 season and now is all scared about the prediction is weak sauce. The fact is a 10-2 or 11-1 regular season would be great especially if they win at least 2 of these 3 games: Ohio State, Michigan and Washington
The only question now is whether Lanning is fired before or after the end of the regular season.
I just re-watched the game…the offensive line was ridiculously bad and DG played way too safe…but, we almost always huddled and never ran tempo, had very few incompletions and rarely got out of bounds…so, the low score can also be attributed to just eating a ton of clock the whole game, which makes me feel slightly better. I still feel sick though.
Blocking from the receivers was also abysmal at best.
Ferguson couldn’t land a block to save his life
Exactly what I was going to say. This was not all the line.
I, for one, dont want them to 'reaffirm their hype'. Im hoping they feel disrespected and have a chip on their shoulder. I also hope they shut players down from the media (no offense) except for leaders like Bassa.
Obviously Oregon had qb1 in the entire game, so I’m guessing the answer is no, but from those who know more about the pieces and the depth at play, was any bit of this potentially caused by this being treated like a pre season nfl game where evaluation and assessment was still ongoing?
Rian just did video where he thinks Ducks drop in ranking. Is this true?
Right guard and center are not good. Can't move anyone off the ball, slow and pad level way to high and getting driven into backfield. WTF have the coaches been looking at? Pathetic line play. Either lack of talent or poor coaching. One of them must change.
I bet the O line can't sit down today! Ouch, not a good game. Still love the Ducks!
Y’all need to be harsher on them for that performance
Definitely won’t go undefeated but I think they show up for big games
I’m wondering what practices have been looking like. It looks to me like the D line is legit and the Oline is going against them every day, how does the offense get anything done if what we saw Saturday is the norm? Iron sharpens iron??? WTH???
Honestly... Oregon should really be able to beat Boise State by something like 45-20. Still shaking my head at that O-line play against Idaho... Broken... How soon can they fix it, is the question....
I just don’t see moving 2 guys on the O-Line fixes everything! If it doesn’t change they will lose 3 games I’d guess.
Who? Call your shot, who they going to lose to? Because if you look at the schedule even if the o line doesn't get much better there was really only be one guaranteed loss
@@justduckinif our o line continues to play like this we will lose to OSU, Michigan and Wisconsin. All those teams have great players on defense.
It could even be 4 losses. Perdue isn’t going to be easy.
@@oregonreign75 but they are all just as bad on offense as Oregon was Saturday. Oregons defense is still good enough that Michigan and Wisconsin will be toss ups.
Even without improvement, which is unlikely
Too much hype and praise in the off season.
Team can improve game by game.
How upset would you guys be if you all had picked the under. Dan never said our goal is to win by 44. How much of this fake fear based off your guys expectation on looking better with your picks. This is why I am against gambling on the Ducks. Guys 1-0 is always better than 0-1. #AytzenAudibles
Terrible performance. Not the end of the world.
If this was a good G5 team then we’d still be weary but a lot less. Well, great FCS teams like Idaho are just as good as a good G5 team.
But at the end of the day the outcome was inexcusable. Seems like the O-line needs to take one step forward every week to be able to take on Ohio State. At least part of that will be naturally mitigated when Bedford returns from injury.
If we don’t beat Boise by 3 scores or more then I’ll be even more concerned.
Stein is clueless. You have to spread the field. All this Dink and dunk won’t work against the FBS schools. Time for a new OC.
Ridiculous statement. Best passing team in the country last year under stein.
@@kjwolfgramm Ducks had a guy named Bo Nix. First round draft pick . There’s a reason Okl jettisoned Gabriel. This team is nothing compared to last year.
I’ve got a tough time believing the 3 starters on that Oline from last year got worse. I think they bought the preseason BS hype, got lazy, and looked terrible.
They need to run the ball more, less behind the line throws. Establish a attitude off smashing people especially against lower comp.
They couldn’t open up gaps. The Idaho D was in the backfield in under 2 seconds. What game were you watching?
Oh man, the 10 Georgia southern fans are gonna come to this video if Oregon’s offense does worse than they did lol.
Leave my Alma mater out of this lmao 🤣 😂
Freaking out after one game!!! lolol No, we'll make a good run. This sport is erratic and wild. Watch the dominoes fall!!!! Go Ducks!
I didn't have Oregon going 12 n 0 this year....based on this Idaho FIASCO.....I have Oregon at 8 n 4! I NOW see Oregon losing to OSU...MICHIGAN...AND probably WISCONSIN ....and a fourth team ( Maybe Oregon State ......or.... a tough BIG10 opponent .......) so...I'm NOW picking Oregon to go 8-4 or 9-3 in their inaugural BIG10 season! They WILL miss the 12 team playoffs!! I'm NOT " overly confident" in my predictions....I'm just a sports loving TIME TRAVELER who already knows the future!! ( based on this knowledge...I would advise folks to LISTEN UP!! Smart money will place THIS BET..... Oregon WILL beat San Diego State in the Liberty Bowl This year! Final Score? 37-17. )...... Y'all are welcome....future MILLIONAIRES!!
Fumbduck bandwagon homers see the wheels coming off. No surprise this early in the season. Time to find another team to root for, before getting too far into the season.
FYI, since landing. If a loss or shitty game they pull in and don't talk..I find this bs as they get paid to be professional.
Stop giving noah whittington so many touches he kills the momentum no reason jordan james shouldnt have 20+ carries
Keep Jordan healthy by limiting his hits while we essentially have a 5 game preseason. The O line playing like a high school JV team is what slowed the momentum
We should’ve kept Donte Dowdell but ended up loosing him to the Transfer portal.
Give Jay Harris carries if you want to limit James’ touches
@@McChadwickableexactly right OL look soft asl I was so embarrassed
Everybody is overreacting. relax lol
Ducks are going to get obliterated by teams like Michigan and Ohio State.
Michigan looked worse offensively than the Ducks and they don't have room to improve because they don't have a qb.
@@johnw6992they have a great defense though and our O line looks like garbage
Just watched the Boise game... their DBs are awful. Ducks should win by 3 scores.
SCO DUCKS
We’ll be fine. I honestly think we are going to crush Boise State by 5 scores.
😂 Heard this one before. The Ducklings are 0-3 against the giant killers. You’re in for a rude awakening my friend. This will be close Boise by 3.
Play Boise like you did Idaho and it will be the Broncos by 30 .
12-0 ! ? Damn these guys are serious Homer's broadcasting from mommy's basement.If they brought back last years tram they wouldn't beat both Michigan and Ohio State.Dont forget Washington owns them,they did lose coach and both teams lost key players.
From a fair perspective, you did oh not look good in yours in an awful way. I did not see anyone that here replaces Troy Franklin or Bo Nix or Alex Forseith to go on and on. I do not see it. Connerly looked awful at times. He looked and moved like he was overweight. Sam, here Tamani pushed down the field. Your QB did not run at all. UW, baby.
Oregon is trash! Not even Oregon can buy a national championship. 😂
Good God stop with the whining! They were favored by 40+ at home and ranked #3…they came out flat and uninspired, it happens! Stop acting like this was Appalachian State beating Michigan in the big house years ago! This weekend they’ll pound BSU and everything will be fine! EVERY team has these games where they overlook someone and struggle. Nothing has changed fed about this team or expectations since before the Idaho game! Get real
