Re: Good stuff from Greg Cosell on Cam after his dismissal
Re-reading Cossell's quotes really don't do justice to what I think he was trying to communicate in the interview. You have to go back and listen (if you've not already).
I get the strong sense from many fans that they feel Flacco is an "elite" QB with talented receivers just waiting to be unleashed by a new OC. Listening to Cossell, I get the sense that he feels that both Flacco and the receivers are "good", and can be better, but I never got the sense that he thought that Cameron was squandering an "elite" unit.
I'd rather he try and fail than never try at all.

Re: Good stuff from Greg Cosell on Cam after his dismissal
The comments I attributed to Mason somewhat support this. His claim was that the receivers aren't good enough to run anything different, and Cam simply limited them to the one or two things they could do (Torrey, nine-route and out pattern; Anquan slant route). Mason seemed to think there wasn't much room to get better.

Re: Good stuff from Greg Cosell on Cam after his dismissal
Where did this myth that crossing patterns are short begin?

Re: Good stuff from Greg Cosell on Cam after his dismissal
Possibly but also keep in mind that one of the advantages to the no huddle is that it keeps the defense in it's base formation. Most exotic blitz calls come directly from the DC, I would think. When you switch to a hurry up, you are able to neutralize a guy like Rex Ryan and take those things away.
In a nut shell, I think defenses become easier to read in the no huddle, which would explain his success.

Re: Good stuff from Greg Cosell on Cam after his dismissal
Most definetely, but the reason i brought it up because i've seen Joe in the no huddle looking at exotic looks and taking his time to determine where the blitz is coming from, and i've seen him have success but out of the no huddle just totally botch the protection. Regardless of how the blitz looks it seems he's watching film on the teams to know what type of pressures the defenses like to use but outside of the no huddle so different. Has to be that the calls are coming in too late to change anything. But i think keeping the base defense on the field has a lot to do with the increased efficiency in that regard.
