Lindgren seems more excited in his interview than in the past interviews. He didn't seem to want to come out and say that adding DJ and Aidan has brought a skillset he hasn't had in dual threat and deep ball capabilities at the QB spot, but I won't hesitate to say those aspects have been added to the QB room. The offense will look different with Ben at the helm than DJ or Aidan.
I'm glad Ben has a mature and humble attitude when it comes to competition. It speaks to Lindgren and Coach Smith about their desire for team first. Glad to hear Aidan hit a deep post route today. When was the last time we had a QB connect on a deep post route 1st practice and have it be a highlight moment?
Thanks for sharing these videos beaverdude.

BG sticking it out at OSU is seriously worthy of all the Beaver love one can muster.

The other nice thing about that clip is that Chiles threw it to #20 who I believe is freshman Zach Card. There's been talk of how fast Card is and Smith has mentioned him, he may contribute to that WR group this year. It will be interesting to see what all three of the freshman WR bring to the group.

At 10.47 and 21.65 he has the best track speed we have seen at wideout/RB since James Rodgers. Per legend James had a hand timed 10.31 100m in high school but Lamar only lists a 10.90 on their school records. Considering record keeping at the time and timing technology Card may be our fastest player ever for track speed. If it can translate to the field we probably have the fastest duo in our history when Gould and Card are on the field.

Reading interviews BG is either the greatest liar of all time or has to be in the conversation for greatest team player of all time. Welcoming in QBs that are more physically gifted, organizing throwing sessions so QBs and receivers can get on the same page, enthusiastically answering questions from the new guys, organizing sessions with Jon Boyer for QB's to understand defenses better. Sounds like a guy who is willing to go the extra mile for a team win whether he's running the offense or sweeping up the locker room. Impressive person.

Based on his ever-composed and almost reserved gameday sideline demeanor, I have often wondered how JS manages to fire up his teams as much as he seems to. However, watching him address the team in one of the videos above, things seem clearer: with the team in "private," he is animated and effective. And having taught at OSU for more than three decades, I can tell you that he knows how to talk to students.
Jonathan Smith was a great and insightful hire. We are very lucky to have snagged him. 'Hope we can keep him here for many seasons to come.

BG sticking it out at OSU is seriously worthy of all the Beaver love one can muster. BG’s academic chops are what I admire. He’s in the middle of a masters in Healthcare Administration or something related. There’s zero reason for him to leave until he finishes. Once done he can probably walk into a decent 6 figure income, probably will make more than a NFL practice squad player with a LOT more job stability. Any football he plays from here on I’d consider a bonus, if he moves on to another school it’s probably for a paid doctorate more than playing time.

Sounds like a guy who is willing to go the extra mile for a team win whether he's running the offense or sweeping up the locker room. Impressive person. I spoke with BG after the civil war game on the field, congratulated both him and the team for all of their hard work - and the "come from behind" victory, of course. Ran into him again in Vegas after the bowl game at the Cosmo Hotel. We talked a bit, and I said I thought JS would be bringing in a couple of big time QB's during the offseason (this was before the DJ announcement) - how do you feel about that? His response? I am not concerned about it at all, if JS brings in additional QB's, I am just going to keep grinding and getting better, I am OK with it. Your are right Nuclear - pretty rare attitude in today's CFB world, especially with the portal. That is what sticks out in my mind, along with the fact that he looks about 12 years old to me - damn it sucks getting old! On a side note, it was great to talk with Ryan Cooper's mom at the Eugene airport, the Monday after Thanksgiving, and get her take on the team, JS and the atmosphere. She had nothing but positive to say. She said that she remembers texting Ryan during the season, and she didn't hear back for a couple of days. She instantly got worried when he didn't answer right away, when he did answer, he said "mom, I am so busy with my tutor, practice, film, classes, etc that I have literally no time" - it made her smile. What she appreciates about Corvallis is it is not near a major metropolitan area, and there are less distractions, less opportunity to get into trouble. So much for "you can't recruit to Corvallis" - at least for the parents!
