I take a look at how Bryan Bennett runs the Zone Read so well in this week’s "FishDuck Minute" and do come back here to discuss. The first component I discuss is the major one, and unique among Oregon QBs I’ve seen run option/zone read plays. FishDuck

Our friend Carnard has fun at the Huskies expense...

This short video is a new feature we’re adding that most thought (knowing me) would be impossible. We will have videos less than two minutes every week on "Video-Time Tuesday" from now on. This is another auxiliary play to the Inside Zone Read to keep defenses off-balance. Come back here to discuss. FishDuck

It is great fun as Josh takes us through Chip’s playcalling of the second half in the Rose Bowl, while discovering a new play that Chip unveiled! While this one came out late on Tuesday—we will have a video each week now released on that day. We call it "Video-Time Tuesday" and hope you enjoy the new ones in the offseason. Discuss the new play here and thanks! FishDuck

I am very lucky to have a colleague like Josh who not only can do superb video analysis, but brings a fresh new subject into it. Quite interesting, but I’m biased. :) Come back to discuss…. This is the beginning of "Video-Time Tuesday" as from here on out we will have a video every week on Tuesday! FishDuck

Hey guys. I take a look at two plays that were a surprise to me, and I talk about….what I can’t write about concerning our Ducks. An announcement regarding three new video formats in the offseason, and do come here to discuss. Thanks to all, FishDuck

This is a fun look back at ten plays or strategies of this season and I try to place a percentage probability of seeing it in the Rose Bowl Game Plan. Come back and let me know what you think the probabilities are. Cheers. FishDuck

We look at plays and formations and try to determine a probability percentage of seeing them in a Rose Bowl Game Plan. Come back to discuss, and yes this is one time I might be a bit critical of Thomas. But I have also praised his decisions through the season……you decide after seeing the video. FishDuck

We look at Wisconsin's defense on video and suggest what Oregon should game plan with.

We look at three "reads" and decisions made in the passing game during the Pac-12 Championship Game. Come back here to let me know your thoughts on a couple of interesting aspects of the report. FishDuck

Can you be embarrassed and pleased at the same time? I’m wiping egg off my face about wrongly identifying a play, yet I’m delighted to find a new play that few, if any teams in college football are using. Come back here to discuss as I’d like your thoughts. FishDuck

This report is shorter than most weeks, (five minutes) but we look at an innovative way that Oregon sprung the Outside Zone Read for big yardage in this last game. I find it interesting and hope you do too. Come back to discuss as usual. FishDuck

We examine a new offensive strategy unveiled against Stanford and for the first time we look at some big defensive plays in a game. Zone Blitzes are a wonder to behold, and while I’m not comprehensive in my description—it is fun to look at them as a FishDuck First. Come back to discuss….. FishDuck

Chip pulls out a new play to counter Washington’s over-reaction to Oregon’s Inside Zone Read. Come back to discuss…….. FishDuck

In this week’s video report we look at a blitzing strategy used by the Cougars and how Chip countered it after halftime. Interesting! Come back here to share your thoughts as always. We love our Ducks, FishDuck

There are some interesting questions about the new plays/formations introduced in this game, but the biggest one is why? I’m curious as to your take, and do come back here to discuss. FishDuck

Sorry I was late this week; last week’s turned out to be a watershed report as I explain, and this week’s simply took longer as a result. Come back here to discuss as usual. We look at WHY Bryan Bennett does the Zone Read so well, along with a new formation that Chip revealed in the first half. We analyze a major strategic change taking place in Chip’s attack philosophy in his Spread Offense, which blew me away when I first saw it and thought about the implications. None of the other media has covered it. (As usual) Cheers to all, FishDuck

Guys…I can hardly believe my good luck in having a fellow like Josh on board at fishduck.com who can put together what we need to watch for against ASU like he does. It is short, and I learned a bunch from him and it is going to make watching the game that much interesting. Well done! Come back here to discuss as usual. (What ABOUT the passing matchups?) FishDuck

We look in depth at two strategies that Oregon used to overcome Cal’s "Cover Zero" defense that we didn’t see last year. We also examine why Darron Thomas is wide open to run, but doesn’t. We have some important announcements, and do come back here to discuss. FishDuck

We have seen all the five to ten minute highlight videos out there, and I thought I would add my version to the fray. It is two and a half minutes is all, and has some good up-tempo rock behind it. My question to all of you is….could it gone longer? Another thirty seconds to a minute? I was torn between keeping it short, (which is not done as much) and adding some more plays and some slow-mo up close of my favorite plays. (Like Stuckey’s sack) I’m also so-so about the second song. I appreciate the feedback, as last week the majority set me straight as to the most popular video format to use, thus I’m curious how to make this project better. (I’m new at creating videos, thus the requested feedback) We REALLY love our Ducks in this setting! FishDuck

I'm still behind and haven't had time to ponder and respond--but I had to let you know about a PRE-game video analysis by this young-gun writer Josh. He is the epitome of Kurt's video expertise, and my hankering for wanting to analyze. Really good stuff, and I'm curious what you all think about Cal will throw at us after you see this report. FishDuck

If you haven’t read or watched a Fish Report in a while…..try this one as it is shorter. The text is HALF what I used to do, and since people didn’t want to commit to watching five minutes of video….I changed my format and have four videos in the report of which the longest is only THIRTY SECONDS. My narration is the text, and you can scan/read that fast and then the super-short videos make it easy to bite and digest. Do me a favor…if you haven’t read one in a long time—try this one, and come back and tell me what you think. If you do watch/read the reports in the past—I am interested in your feedback as well. I am trying to adapt to create the form the majority of people want, and yet will get the most views. I realize when people are watching/reading them at work—you have to take a bite at a time by reading a few paragraphs here, and then a 27 second video there, and bam-you got it done and learned something. I was happy with this report, and hope you enjoy it as well. FishDuck -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Fish Report: QB Runs Answered & A New Play! (Arizona 2011) Why would Darron Thomas take off running in this game while not before? This is a question we tackled last week, but the answers became even more evident against Arizona. We have examples of THREE positions on the defense being Zone Read in this game while being introduced to a new play utilizing the strengths of a true freshman who looks to make a big impression this season! (And no—it is not DeAnthony Thomas) Read more—click the link above……………

Talk about surprises! We had new items on offense introduced in this game, and the video is UNDER five minutes? Of course you can read it with pictures if you choose, as we offer both options now. Look also at the new buttons at the bottom left of the YouTube—we now offer Slow Motion and a seven second REPLAY! I’ve never seen this on YouTube before, but it sure it handy to watch plays with. Come back here to discuss as usual. We Love to Learn about our Beloved Ducks! FishDuck

Hello Everyone, No one has to slug through fifteen minutes reading a 2,000 word Fish Report any more. The game analysis each week will be in video and between only five and six minutes, thus easy to watch with new play information, music, and game footage that are always fun. Send the link to Oregon Fan Friends! Come back here to discuss as usual. This game we discover a new variation to the Triple Option, answer the question about whether Darron Thomas is Zone Reading anymore, and look at how we will prevent teams from selling out against our running attack. Fun Stuff! FishDuck

Here is my first weekly Fish Report done in video; do come back here to discuss as usual. There will undoubtedly be people who disagree with my assessment, but remember that I have been watching Oregon football for a long time. We also have a BIG announcement in this short video….something that no one else has and that you are going to love! We Love Our Ducks, FishDuck

Hello to all, This is the final tutorial before the season starts, I’ll be doing a video game analysis each week during the season. As usual, come back here to discuss and of course I always welcome your feedback. Oregon does their Triple Option a little different compared to other teams; it has an interesting twist to it that we can understand due to the prior video tutorials. We Love Our Ducks, FishDuck

Hello everyone, Go to http://fishduck.com/ and on the front page you can quickly run the new short video about the Power Play. I really enjoyed this video, as it appeals to those who love the running game. (Come back here and discuss as usual) Look at the first four listings, and I have a new report up about the changes coming in Oregon’s Offense. I now have THREE tutorials for you to see with a FOURTH going to be up tomorrow about Oregon’s Straddled Triple Option. Four done going into the season? Cool. Starting next week we will have Fish Reports about the games on VIDEO, with diagrams. We are in for a VERY interesting year! We Love Our Ducks, FishDuck

Hey Everybody, Below is a link to the latest Fish Report video as of Sunday night. It is of the Triple Tailback Threat and I think it runs more easily than the text and has some additional video plays not in the original text due to space limitations. As always—come back here to discuss. FishDuck
