Re: Week 2: Baltimore Ravens @ Tennessee Titans
It's interesting that you bring up the West Coast offense, because I've said in many a conversation that in my opinion Flacco looks like he wants to play as if it were a West Coast system. But he's not that kind of quarterback. And our team isn't set up like that in the first place. But I want to be clear here that while I don't like Flacco because of the way he's developed, I find the root of the problem to be more on the overestimation of Flacco and the way he was hyped since day one. It went to his head. In my mind Flacco and Tony Romo are very similar in this regard. Both are decent talents that were instantly overhyped from day one. There were early coaching decisions that were mistakes for both, which involved too much gambling on these guys. It allowed these guys to get too big of heads, to think that they were too capable of single handedly pulling their teams through. And it all lead to the establishment of habits and patterns of behavior from the sidelines and in both of them individually that are making them the weakest link for their respective teams. Both of these guys have talent. But it's not being used in the right way. Instead it's often used in counterproductive ways. I'll tell you what, take either of those guys and put them on an Andy Reid team, and they'll shine twice as brightly as they have so far. Either one of those guys, if they were being coached better from the onset, would be just as good, if not better than Aaron Rogers. |

Meanwhile Harbaugh is considering sitting Foxworth and Lee Evans until they are better recovered from their injuries.

Re: Week 2: Baltimore Ravens @ Tennessee Titans
First, Flacco is FAR from perfect and has a lot of things he needs to work on but the idea that he just throws deep and either gets an INT or gets lucky not to just doesn't make sense. He only had 10 ints last year. He completed 63% of his passes. 7.4 yards a completion. They drafted Smith and traded for Evans bc it was too easy to defend the pass since there was no deep threat. I don't know where you're getting that idea from. Second, Andy Reid has proven to be a great coach for QBs if not just a great coach period. I don't think it's to stretch to say most QBs would've been better off if they got a chance to work with him. But to think that Romo, Flacco or most QBs in the league would be Rodgers or better is just crazy. |

Re: Week 2: Baltimore Ravens @ Tennessee Titans
Had to bump this for Pat daddy.
Here's an article on Flacco audibling into many of the pass plays in last week's game against the Rams. http://blogs.baltimoreravens.com/201...arial-assault/ If ever there was a case for your argument, this is it. I still don't agree with a lot of your thoughts on Flacco, but this was definitely a game where he looked deep early and often... and it looks like he audibled into the bombs. In the STL game, it just made too much sense but I would've liked to see them run more. It'll be interesting to see what the play calling looks like in the game coming up with the Jets. |

Re: Week 2: Baltimore Ravens @ Tennessee Titans
And I will say Flacco's audibles in this game were on the money. With two of them he had single coverage it was just a matter of Smith being ready to play and he was. On the other Smith just got past the Safety, but he had Boldin open underneath this route, which is probably what made the Safety hesitate and Smith get past him. Against the Jets it'll be a little different I think. I think the focus will be more to Dickson and Pitta this game. They may target Revis once or twice but not often. Regardless of what Smith did last week, Revis will be covering Anquan Boldin. |
