[Editor's note: This morning in this space young upstart Robert Stroup unleashed a jailbreak blitz on the legendary FishDuck, "Stroup to FishDuck: Not so fast, my friend." While our ambitious rookie scribe respectfully acknowleged Fish's reputation and contributions to Oregon football analysis, he took him to task for failing to recognize the importance of winning the line of scrimmage, flatly asserting that the Ducks had to get bigger and stronger on the line to win football's biggest prizes. Three paragraphs down, he delivered this head slap, followed by a swim move:
In my opinion, FishDuck is a bit naïve to assume that the style of offense Oregon employs now will remain the style of offense Oregon employs two/three years from now. (And if he is right, and Oregon does stay with the Zone Blocking scheme, what stops other Pac-12 defensive coordinators from doing what Auburn or California did and loading the box? This still seems unanswered).
Like Dennis Dixon in '07, FishDuck is calm in the pocket. Not one to trade insults or get rattled, he carefully went to his keyboard this morning and hammered out this response, as gracefully executed as a Fake Statue of Liberty Play.]
