Re: The Story of John Harbaugh & Bryant McKinnie
Along those lines, it really doesn't address WHEN, exactly, McKinnie worked himself into shape. It just sort of assumes that it took him until he was actually inserted into the lineup to get in shape. So the question remains: was the injury to Reid the catalyst, or was that just a coincidence? I don't think it was a coincidence.

Re: The Story of John Harbaugh & Bryant McKinnie
It will continue to remain a mystery to us for years, just like Cams firing still remains a mystery and will be a mystery for a long long time. Biscotti and Oz strongly deny it came from them, but as much as I love them, I just think Biscotti was the one who made that decision, not Harbaugh.

Re: The Story of John Harbaugh & Bryant McKinnie
If not for the very real anger Harbaugh displayed at Cameron for all the world to see, I might agree. My best guess is that Harbaugh was genuinely ticked at Cameron, and basically got the okay from Bisciotti to fire Cameron with only a few games left in the regular season. I'm sure Harbaugh knew he'd have support from Bisciotti to fire Cam at the end of the season, but to do it so close to the end of the season, with the post season still looming, took the okay from the owner. At least that's how it makes the most sense to me.

Because it's an opinion that fits a narrative that certain posters love to trumpet wherein one of the preeminent coaches in the NFL is not as smart as them.
John was an idiot for how he treated Gaither, now he's an idiot for how he treated BMac, and it doesn't mean a lick of spit to these future NFL executives of the century that the facts don't support there view because they can always make up new ones.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: The Story of John Harbaugh & Bryant McKinnie
I never said it was, & in fact I never thought it was. Sorry if anyone got that impression.
So long as your sources work for the Ravens (or work for a company that does work for the Ravens) in some capacity, and want to keep doing so, I stand by my post. I can't think of many jobs around the Castle whose holders wouldn't fit that description. Particularly now that it's a world championship organization.

Re: The Story of John Harbaugh & Bryant McKinnie
so the spin doctors tony talked to were really lying and harbs was NEVER going to work with or play McKinnie until someone from this board emailed him like, 'John, you're an 'okay' coach but really dude come on - we need Bryant if we're gonna make this playoff run. I come from a long line of message board ravens fans and as usual, we know best. please do what i ask and don't think twice about it. lazy? who cares, the guy is huge! unmotivated?! who cares about motivation, just win baby!,'. after that email, of course he HAD to start Bryant and the rest is history. It wasn't his experience as a coach or his benching of big mac so the guy would decide once and for all if he actually wanted to play or maybe even some coordinators and other coaches helping the decision along..nope! everyone is lying about it so that it makes for a 'feel good' story. yea, that makes much more sense.
