How do you create a shutout of an Arizona team that averaged 46 points a game? What are some of the subtle coaching points utilized by our Defensive Staff? This game was subject-rich on the offensive side of the ball, and we saw the “Bennett and the Beast” backfield, we defeated the “30 Stack” defense, and yet we may never …
The big wins do more for the next level Oregon fan than simply allow us to watch the fun plays and eye the reserves. Sub-division teams like Tennessee Tech may not provide a fair assessment of the 2012 Oregon Ducks team, as Fresno State has been the only team to offer up much resistance if any against the starters, but …
Has Oregon’s emphasis on offense shifted for 2012, now that Mariota has been named the starter? Less running and more passing perhaps this year? Or with a new young QB-will we revert to the basics of the Oregon offense? They are interesting questions, and with the season about to start…. it makes sense to look at what might be THE …
One of the most highly anticipated games in all of college football will be the Epic matchup of Oregon at USC on November 3rd. The vast majority of expert commentary about last year’s game has been mostly accurate, but highly incomplete from a Trojan perspective. We will look at what Oregon can do to win this year, but of more …
How does Oregon get all these interceptions? What pass coverage do they use when they blitz? How can we fans understand what our defensive secondary is doing? It’s time to begin a brief look at our coverages to help us understand what our beloved Ducks are doing on defense. As in other videos…. the more we learn, the more we …
Oregon is positioned to have the biggest breakout year on defense in my lifetime! Many of us know of the extraordinary athletes on defense, but now we are becoming aware from the last three defensive video tutorials of the carefully crafted strategy on defense formulated by Defensive Coordinator Nick Aliotti. The title sounds…wacko, yet you know I frequently like to …
So many blitzes, and so little time before the football season! We have had a blast learning about Oregon’s new Hybrid 3-4 defense, and the Fire Zone Blitz in the last two weeks. Now much of this may be new to you and I, but our defense has been making this transition going back to the 2009 season. They did …
HOW does Oregon put pressure on opponents through our new Hybrid 3-4 Defense? What are the major strategies that Defensive Coordinator Nick Aliotti uses to create sacks and all the turnovers we’ve seen in the last two years? It was fun looking at the foundation concepts of our defense in the first defensive tutorial, but it is now time to …
We outlined game plan strategies that Oregon’s Coach Chip Kelly sprung on the Pac-12 in 2010 in the last two videos. Now we relish looking at what the Wizard created in Game Plans this last season of 2011, and the theme is heavy on “Surprise.” One of the joys of parenthood is hearing a snarky teenager who might just imply …
This is the second in a series of videos delving into the ingenious game plans of Coach Kelly, and introduces the element of surprise in a manner that only this Spread Offense Leader can produce. His game planning has been a fascinating study, and one that I’ve been “chipping away at” for months while working on other videos and projects. …
Charles “FishDuck” Fischer and Josh Schlichter continue their video analysis of the Oregon Spring Game and break down a trusty West Coast-Spread Offense passing play of Oregon that college and pro teams use often. This video is an example of how we are taking steps forward of looking closely at Oregon’s passing game and defensive techniques, as we progress beyond …
It may have been an audacious title, but we think we can offer some insights that others have not. If it isn’t the best video analysis you’ll see, it’ll be in your top three.
