Re: Joe Flacco and Marc Trestman off to a great start
We saw why in NE. Joe said he changed the play on the last INT when they
showed him a look when GB beat them with earlier but Joe couldn't get the ball
to an open Torrey but truth be told, Joe didn't do much checking down til
after the bye week. He got killed here in week 1 for not seeing the over loaded
blitz coming but after the bye he started doing it and did well til the end.
But someone gave Joe the green light to check down.

Re: Joe Flacco and Marc Trestman off to a great start
I wonder what an article about Joe's and Cam's relationship would be called?

Kubiak is like Zorn but he can actually coach. He couldn't be more laid back in his approach.

Re: Joe Flacco and Marc Trestman off to a great start
When the Ravens offense plays good all thru the game, that's a major improvement over the last years.
"Lovefootball" nailed it - when the Ravens stack up consistently solid Offensives drives we are tough to beat - how many years have we watched a horribly inconsistent offense doom us or put all the pressure on the Defense - as a team we seem to have turned the corner into becoming a consistent offense which can keep the pressure on the opponent (New England game was a prime example - just needed a healthy DB or two)

Re: Joe Flacco and Marc Trestman off to a great start
One of the things that drives me crazy in watching the Ravens is to see them over and over again call running plays against stacked (in the box) defenses - only to go three and out - and then do it all over again the next time they get the ball. How many times have you seen the Ravens put themselves into a hole only to figure out (at some point) that we need to put the ball in Joe's hands in order to have him dig us out of that hole. He usually does.
Its when Joe starts playing wide open football that the field opens up and the running game kicks in.
Why can't the Ravens coaches figure that out. Are they not watching the same game that I am.
My hope for Trestman is that he comes out of the starting gate throwing - letting Joe loose - which will in the end open up the running game.

Re: Joe Flacco and Marc Trestman off to a great start
Kubiak was the best OC we've ever had. Seriously changed the game for the Ravens and Flacco. He's not "Manning's problem now" as you say. Now that Peyton is battling noodle-arm Kubiak's system will help extend his career for as long as he's willing to play. Also, Forsett wsa good indeed, but he was good BECAUSE of Kubiak's ZBS. All Kubiak's running backs from Daved Terrel to Olandis Gary to Forsett have benefitted from his OL scheme. The man's a X/O genius.
Trestman is good too, but we'll need to see how good. Joe seems to like him, but he like Kubiak last year too. Both coaches have similar schemes and whatever success Trestman has this year will have to be creditted to Kubiak to some degree in "preppin" the offense for him.

Re: Joe Flacco and Marc Trestman off to a great start
I'm all for a balanced attack and hope that Trestman gives it to me.
That said, it's likely that at some point #5 is going to have three guys (on the field at the same time), maybe four guys (Senior, Perriman, Maxx and Waller) that can go get it. While there's a lot of development that the rookies have to take on, there's also evidence of each guy being very-well capable of using his full radius when necessary. I think Joe's efficiency numbers will up-tick nicely even with a similar number of attempts."The Ravens are not taking Jimmy Smith at 26!" -- Me, the day before the 2011 Draft
"On their way to the podium, the Ravens FO is going to collectively step over my dead body and select...Breshad Perriman." -- Me, the day before the 2015 Draft
