Re: Norv Turner, Welcome to Baltimore
Kubiak coached under Shanahan for years. Not too many run that system because it's very personnel specific or it doesn't work. Honestly Flacco isn't mobile enough to play in that system. You need a QB like Ben or Rodgers who can move laterally. You also need someone with great pocket awareness.
Flacco can't do any of those things. He needs to focus on getting rid of the ball quicker to open guys. That's exactly what the West Coast Offense is all about. More options to throw the ball to creating a lot less time from drop back to the release of the ball. Brett Favre proved that you can still go deep and that a big arm works great in a West Coast system. That's the fit for Flacco

Re: Norv Turner, Welcome to Baltimore
id agree. Favre is a great example of how WCO can work even better for strong armed QBs and still going deep. Having short tight windows give his big arm an ability to fit those balls in. With Favre he trusted his arm too much. With Flacco already being used to tight windows but 30 yards downfield I cant imagine his results wouldnt be better, at least as far as INTs.

Re: Norv Turner, Welcome to Baltimore
Next season, this team needs a philosophy change on offense in order to take advantage of the talent they have.

Re: Norv Turner, Welcome to Baltimore
The only reason why I am hoping they make a change to someone different than Norv Turner is because I don't believe a retread is the way to go. I mean, if they are adamant about getting a known commodity, Norv Turner wouldn't be a bad choice. However, I'd much rather see them go after a younger guy who will bring a fresh approach and a desire to make a name for himself.
That's why I keep thinking about Joe Lombardi and Karl Dorrell. Both have a lot of experience in modern offenses.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

What was Chuck Pagano's connection to the Harbaughs?
