With the Ducks (2-4) having lost four straight games, several current and former Oregon players have been weighing in on Oregon’s struggles on Twitter. Head coach Mark Helfrich addressed the chatter during his press conference on Tuesday.
“There’s a lot of teams in the country right now that were expected to be at a certain level but aren’t, and there’s different reasons for that,” Helfrich said. “We had our shots early to win a couple games that didn’t go our way, and now everything’s on the table as far as why that is.”
Here’s what some of the former players have had to say:
Former linebacker Derrick Malone and running back Kenjon Barner were sickened by the team’s performance:

im literally almost in tears. i feel sick.

Defensive end Tony Washington couldn’t believe what he saw:

This is out of hand

Former wide receiver Bralon Addison and linebacker Spencer Paysinger supported a temporary ban on football players at Taylor’s Bar and Grill near campus.

@Taylors_Bar IF ANY FOOTBALL PLAYERS SHOW UP TONIGHT SEND THEM HOME !

They’re band for how ever many days UW has in points. https://t.co/XhY6phfyCM

Paysinger and offensive lineman Nick Cody took offense to the new jersey combinations.

I sound like a broken record at this point but we play really bad when we wear uniforms that step too far outside school colors.

Put the next new jersey combo away until they can string some W’s together.

My views don’t change… even with my Ducks.
Average teams shouldn’t have the luxury of new uni’s every week.

Offensive lineman Tyler Johnstone and wide receiver Keanon Lowe suggested Oregon fans are acting spoiled.

The Oregon student section is absolutely lacking. #SpoiledRotten pic.twitter.com/WJxSlDJtVV

If Oregon (Rob Mullens) moves Coach Helfrich I will NEVER EVER support Oregon Football again #GoDucks #SpoiledFans

Malone doesn’t think linebackers coach Don Pellum should have been demoted from defensive coordinator.

DP was 22-6 in two seasons. And we went to the National Championship his first year as DC. I still don’t get the demotion.

Cody suggested Helfrich could be on his way out.

So I hear this Les Miles guy is available… #GoDucks

Former offensive lineman Geoff Schwartz doesn’t think Helfrich should be fired, but drew comparisons between the current team and the 2006 team on which he played.

Same thing happened to the 2006 team. We thought it was going to be easy. Didn’t play w/the same passion. Too many mistakes. (3)
