Ravens Near Mutiny / Yahoo Story
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nfl--jo...164505133.html
Just mentioned on SiriusXM, apparently after the Texans loss the team took issue with a practice in pads on Halloween and it became a great therapy session instead of dysfunction.
Fascinating story.

Re: Ravens Near Mutiny / Yahoo Story
Very fascinating.
This article needs to be stickied, tattooed, whatever to all of those who think Harbs is a tyrant or stubborn, incapable of flexibility. It takes a lot of guts and even more leadership to admit you're wrong and to then turn the moment into getting the team on board again.
Time will tell if this propels the team into the playoffs and beyond but it's a great start!

Re: Ravens Near Mutiny / Yahoo Story
did Cam say he's been wrong?

Re: Ravens Near Mutiny / Yahoo Story
I find it odd that Cam was the one pushing for the no huddle. Hes the OC if he wants it, shouldnt that be the end of it? Its kind of implying Harbaugh is sticking his two sense into the offense, maybe not to its benefit?
I think Harbaugh as a leader has and continues to be good and fair. As a player, i couldnt imagine a much better scenario, especially with how many stubborn coaches are out there. However, i dislike that our players get upset about practicing in pads after an ass kicking the week before. It may have led to a greater conversation, but the fact that they didnt want to strap pads on and got their way seems like they werent "embracing the grind".-JAB

Re: Ravens Near Mutiny / Yahoo Story
Yep. I have come to the conclusion that the crappy offense is the choice of Harbs. Jim and John have the same offensive philosophy. Difference being his brother actually has the personnel to make it succeed. I am not a fan of Cam and still think he needs to go but I am placing more and more of the blame on Harbs. It is like Cam runs John's crappy game plan until they get down by enough and then he is allowed to open it up. New England, Cowboys and San Diego top of mine where the offense looked awful until the team fell behind by 10 points.

Re: Ravens Near Mutiny / Yahoo Story
That article further reinforces my opinion about Harbaugh being a great leader. Clearly, Harbaugh has read How to Win Friends and Influence People multiple times because everything he does is taken straight from that book. And if you haven't read that book, it's a must read.

Re: Ravens Near Mutiny / Yahoo Story
Reminds me of what Coughlin did actually - reconcile his hard headed style with getting his locker room back together.
What has he got his team to do in the last few years? Two Lombardis.
If Harbs can emulate Coughlin, I could not complain.

Re: Ravens Near Mutiny / Yahoo Story
Great point.
I was going to say if Reed thinks HARBs has a tough camp and practice, he should see Coughlin's who has the hardest
two a days in the NFL but he's a great one. I didn't know Coughlin had that meeting too.
Shula had tough camps and practices too and so did Weeb. When McCafferty followed Shula, Matte and the guys
called him Easy Rider but he won the SB too, just like Billick with Camp Cream Puff. Shannahan also ran the same camp
so much can be said about both extremes.
Im sure Reed liked Billick's practices better but I always loved putting the pads and helmet on at my lowly organizational
level. Five of us trained all summer long in pads and helmet in extreme heat running up that big hill at Woodbourne Jr Hi to make our hi school team at City. Only one made the team
but we had a blast.Last edited by AirFlacco; 11-28-2012 at 06:33 PM.

Re: Ravens Near Mutiny / Yahoo Story
Great story. People who doubt Flacco is a leader in the locker room, look no further than this:
"By meeting's end Flacco and linebacker Jameel McClain had given constructive speeches that helped bring the team together, and Harbaugh actually felt enriched by the experience. "Master of 'Gifs for dummies'
"The world called for wetwork, and we answered. No greater good. No just cause." - Kazuhira Miller
