Ravens have reached out to Chuck Pagano

He still has two years left on his deal. So any salary that he earns will reduce his Colts salary. Typically in these cases, coaches take a year or two off to minimize the number of years that they're coaching for free.

He's often a step behind the play and it costs him (case in point - the Bengals TD on Sunday, Correa was just straight up late to the TE)

I was banging the table for Correa to be drafted. Lovedhim on tape and loved his skillset, but he does not have the same speed that the tape showed. Whether it was plays from ILB or OLB, he was flying off the ball. He does not fly off the ball and he didn't even when playing OLB in TC+Preseason of his rookie year

That was a perfectly thrown ball. He was infront of Kroft, it was just high and away. There wasnt anything he was going to do better in that situation. Sometimes the offense can make a play too, and I think that was the case on that particular play. He was there when the ball was, so I dont think that was late.

Ill agree that I do think hes still thinking too much, rather than just playing, but that comes with experience. he needs PT to learn and get comfortable.

You just had to say that didn't you? Now they will surely fuck it up. Pretty sure I just heard them say "hold my beer" lol

Sure, a lot of that was defense and field position. (Really great spec teams, unsung heroes.) But still: when you finish top-10 in scoring, with all the issues and upheaval we had on offense, esp with injuries to the O-line – it's very difficult to make a case that Marty should be replaced. His partnership with Greg Roman proved very effective.

I'm not in love with Marty M's offense. But neither Kyle Shanahan nor Sean McVay are coming; and the Marty/Roman team was at least professional, competent, and effective. They surprised teams here & there with some stuff. Get a yards-after-catch player in here – or hell, a possession receiver who can just catch the damn ball – and the offensive play-calling will look fine.

Well, that seems silly, since Harbaugh has beaten New England in Foxboro twice in the playoffs. Every year the Ravens seem to be at the top of the list of teams the Pats would prefer to avoid in the postseason.

I hope we fuck them up next season.

Also, who knows to what extent coaching in Indy has crushed Pagano's spirit. Maybe he's all about making the "safe" percentage play now. Lots of things could go wrong.

But yeah, if we could return to that balls-out spirit, games would be so much more fun.

Are Ravens players allowed to have ideas of their own?

That’s what we need. A DC to come in and take stock of the roster and figure out what everyone does well then put them in position to succeed.

Build the system around the players’ natural skills and select players to fit the system.

Even if Pagano turns it down, I have hope that they won't go with Pees 2.0 Martindale now!

The saftey position has done a lot of it. Missed on Elam and can't remember (Brooks maybe) then fa after fa to now both are making 8plus per
