What a whiny article. Fish duck has really become his biggest fan lately. He used to have some humility but that seems to dwindle as time goes on.

I believe he used to attend practice and scrimmages and was a wholesale sunshine pumper. I've wondered if Mario restricted access because much of the writing now has a negative tone.

I was going to write some mean and snarky but I just will say this I hope Mario proves them wrong no matter what offense or coordinator he has.

The article is simply pointing out things that I/we have been saying for months. It has a more negative tone than is necessary, but in general, I can't disagree with much of it.

Charles didn’t write this article. He probably has editorial control on what is published on Fishduck but these aren’t his words.

Minus that whole part about Justin not wanting to run that limited much of the offense for 2 years now.

Sorry to say this but that site has lost all credibility. It's become nothing more than a bunch of whiny old men.

Charles used to do a really good job but since he has taken on a lesser role it's just become pathetic.

Agree. We've made the same point as the article on these boards, so I don't understand what is getting people bent out of shape. Mario seems intent on running the Arkansas offense that got Brett Beliema fired. These days you have to spread a defense out and have a quarterback and skill position players that can make big plays. If Cristobal is wise, he'll recognize his strengths are OL coaching and recruiting, and he'll let his coordinators do what they do best.

Some people don’t think criticism of anything about the football team should be allowed without their approval...

FishDuck and his site are a joke.

Cristobal made it clear in the most recent press conference that they kept Herbert from running in the regular season to keep him healthy.

Re: the article, there's plenty of valid critiques of our offense but he didn't really make any of them. Starting the article stating that this season might as well have been a 10 loss season because the expectations was to be undefeated is just absurd. I don't know a single reasonable person who thought this team would go undefeated. Herbert and the line were great but the skill positions had real deficiencies, and that was without all the injuries.

Access to practice was limited for ALL media as far back as 2012. After Chip Kelly started closing practices, real practice reports dried up. Worse than raisins. The truth is that Fish used a lot of TV video for his analyses and when the Pac-12 came down hard on that, it was difficult to keep up the analysis. He turned to trying to create a viable site with a lot of commentary; the site purposely looked for articles that would generate conversation by taking on a sort of adversarial tone in many of their articles.

What happened to it? I remember it used to be pretty good. It's like CK left, we eventually started losing, and then his site seemed to jump the shark.

I use to love to watch the break down videos
