I think Kelly would of come in and installed a zone-read style similar to what Weeden ran at Ok St. You know, using a player’s strengths. Unlike Schumur.

That’s a good point would but would that be the best way to use Richardson? Oregon and Okie St have primarily had smaller scat backs.

wasn’t the term ‘possession receiver’ coined for him?

I believe so. Only later did “possession receiver” evolve into “batshit crazy white dude who’ll go over the middle”.

he came into the league as a shifty little punt returner type then was more of a 3rd WR than a modern slot guy. I think the whole “white and didnt wear gloves” thing makes him seem like he was slow/possession style. For example on that TD in the Drvie game he did an out and up and got behind a guy pretty easily.

I had about 80 billion Brian Brennan cards as a kid. You know a player is lousy when all his football cards only show him during warmups.

BRIAN BRENNAN WAS NOT LOUSY!!!

so this is cfb’s title game, two legendary programs, cfb is pretty damn popular

does it feel super bowl-y to anyone? buzz, atmosphere, etc?

I think having the game on a Monday is bad for the buzz. The NFL rules everything, so all anyone is talking about is the RG3 saga and Ray Lewis dancing.

No. Desean Jackson would of half-assed it for him too. That Eagles team is a hot mess and needs a bit of a rebuild.

There is a lot of truth to that but I would rather see Vick/McCoy/Jackson running the Oregon offense than Weeden and Richardson. The Browns are built to run Houston’s offense, zone read with play action, especially if Greg Little develops into a poor man’s Andre Johnson. Hell if Minnestoa can make the playoffs with Christian Ponder the Browns should have a chance with Weeden.

Yeah just like Super Bowl XXXV

some folks call the sb another national holiday, i don’t get that from this game

Oregon is new money to the Nth degree. No one gives a fuck about new money getting in trouble until they actually get in trouble.

I was thinking more along the lines of nobody wanting to piss off Nike and their ad-buy money.

Brian Brennan

Eagles would have been the best fit available right now.

He should have called Carolina and told them for $6 million he’d coach Cam how to not lose when it matters most.

This man speaks some truth. Need at least 2-3 OL, DL, another LB or two, pretty much a brand new secondary and a WR that is over the height of 6’1″ and isn’t named Riley Cooper.

Am I crazy for thinking that nobody is talking about the stuff going on with Oregon and the NCAA? Don’t know if I’ve really seen much about it from the big boys.

Oregon doesn’t move the needle. Or everyone just loves their uniforms and assumes their innocent.
