Exactly. Which is why I think they timed the move when they did. Kept Cam around long enough to get a playoff spot, but dumped him as soon as possible afterward to give Joe and Jim time to adjust to each other and a new offensive approach.
My motto was always to keep swinging. Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was keep swinging. -Hank Aaron

Re: Good stuff from Greg Cosell on Cam after his dismissal
It wasn't.
I meant to put "rumored to have been" -- it was posted on that Orioles board whose link was posted somewhere here. (went back and fixed it now)
There is this article in the Sun which seems to lend some credence to that rumor though: http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/r...,5748690.story

Re: Good stuff from Greg Cosell on Cam after his dismissal
Remember 6 months ago when a couple of us here were talking about Greg Cossell's observations about Cam's offense?
Yea, I do.
The guy knows what he is talking about.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

He is spot on. He's always been spot on.
He is a film analyst, just like Filmstudy, but he doesn't have any bias towards any particular team, system, or player.
He is also the one who said that Bryant McKinnie was one of the most frustrating players he had ever watched because of how much natural talent he has and how little effort he puts into the game. Yet, there are still those who think that Cossell is way off base there. Doesn't seem to be though considering McKinnie can't (or won't) even beat out Oher.
I just find it funny that there were several of us seeing all of these issues with Cam's offense, talking about it, getting railed for it because it was "the players not executing" or "Joe Flacco sucks" or "Michael Oher sucks". Several of us fired back at those comments citing Greg Cossell's analysis. Still the same blind rhetoric.
I think a lot of folks don't realize how instrumental the offensive and defensive coordinator are to the success of a football team.
It is just funny to me that Greg Cossell "was right" only now that Cam has been fired, but prior to that it was definitely the players not executing.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Re: Good stuff from Greg Cosell on Cam after his dismissal
For those who summarized, thank you. I am grateful for that.
Hmm... While reading those summaries, I wonder about Flacco's internal clock. I thought one of the posters mentioned this, Flacco's "faulty" internal clock may be the result of the scheme. It is difficult to develop an internal clock when 1) the defense knows what you will do and 2) every receivers running vertically for 10+ yards (which was the case on a third down play in the overtime loss). On top of that, the WRs have been taught to "run off" their routes, so it is difficult to know exactly where they will be. I think this is probably why Flacco was able to connect better to Pitta, Boldin and Mason.
My concern is Flacco's internal clock. Can it be salvaged? Will those "bad habits" sink in by now? I think that is the key for Flacco to elevate his game to the next level, IMO.
