11:42 - Now over to the tight ends. Assistant tight ends coach Justin Peelle stands about 7 yards away from the players. They have their backs turned to him. He yells "ball!" and fires a pass at them. By the time they turn around, the ball is there, and they have to make the grab. McManus and I could simulate this one, but one of us would likely end up with a broken finger, which is the equivalent of microfracture surgery for a blogger.
Peele was hired a few weeks after Michael Clay and it brings the total to 4 coaches who played at Oregon who now coach for the Eagles: Bill Musgrave, Matt Harper, Clay and Justin Peele to go along with Chip, Azz for 6 Ducks on the coaching staff. Then you still have Brandon Bair, Taylor Hart, Josh Huff, Josh Kaddu, Wade Keliikipi, Jeff Maehl, Casey Matthews and Will Murphy makes the total 14 Ducks in Philly getting paid by Jeff Lurie!
Add in Greatwood's stat with Oregon being 7th in players in the league and the coaches should really be hammering home to recruits that if you want to get into the league, come to Eugene.
DAMN There is absolutely no reason not to cheer the hell out of the Eagles if you are a Duck fan....none what so ever..
Stewart Mandel-"From a purely aesthetic standpoint, I much prefer to watch a good spread-rushing offense over a traditional Power-I offense, and Oregon's has been the most fun by far for the past several years. It's fast, its precise, and when Chip Kelly has the right quarterback (Dixon, Masoli) at the helm, the possibility of someone ripping off a 60-yard run exists on nearly every play."
Fun game on tonight Chiefs and Panthers. So far DAT an Kenjon Barner with nice kick returns. Jonathon Stewart with a couple nice runs and a TD. Ed Dixon with a nice catch or two!
Hart and Matthews team high 5 tackels tonight, while Murphy, Keliikipi and Kaddu all had one tackle. Maehl 4 catches for 84 yards, including one for 32 yards. Brandon Bair recovered a fumble
