Ravens hire Marc Trestman as OC

He beat us the last time we played Chicago. His players like

Brandon Marshal swear by him. Marshal would love to follow him

here but he is signed and would be very expensive, CAP wise

for Bears to move him.

 

Most of the guys on the boards are very excited. This is a

continuation of Kube's system.

 

The only criticisms I've read are he uses more shorter passes than

Kubes but considering JOe's last long pass went tot he wrong guy

that might be a good thing.

 

The other criticism was that he doesn't know the ZBS but he has Castillo

for that.

 

Gase was interviewed and turned down again. Must be something about him

and Manning calling his own plays. Also, Gase never played football,

strictly a nerd and book guy but is really good. Gase was considered at

top HC candidate and had several interivews but not hired.

Lol guess who Trestman hired in CHI for QB coach? Wonder if he'll bring him over.

That would be awkward, Cavanaugh was the OC at the University of Pittsburgh when Joe was there. Cavanaugh, working under then head coach Dave Wannstedt, chose to go with puny Tyler Palko as the starting QB and did not release Joe from his scholarship.

Right now I'm really lukewarm about this selection. I don't really know much about the guy other than he's a west-coast offense coach, so that's a plus. He's supposed to be good for coaching qb's too. But he'd better not bring Cavanaugh here (I can't believe this is even a possibility especially with his history with Joe and his blunder of not playing him!).

 

I am concerned about what he does with the zone-blocking scheme because that was so effective for us with a journeyman running back.

 

Maybe we'll know more when he's officially introduced. I hope he and Flacco get along as well as Kubiak and Flacco did.

 

That part has me worried.

I'm not as optimistic about Cavanaugh. He was a terrible OC when he was here and most of us couldn't wait to get rid of him. Ravens' offenses sucked when he was here.

 

But, maybe Trestman won't bring him. Oz might have a say in that too.

Don't worry, I read that CAV is being interviewed for Cleve's OC job. LOL

 

I was wondering if JIM HARBs had any influence on this but also

read that he was Ozzie's suggestion to HARBs. OZZIE also

suggested Caldwell to him.

 

Caldwell was actually on Ozzie's original long list of head coaches when HARBs

got the job, picked by Bisciotti, of course.

Well, if Cleveland hires him it's a win-win for us.

 

Sounds, then, like Oz and Harbs are on board with the Trestman hire.

I read he hasn't used a zone-blocking scheme though. Our lineman did very well with that this year. Maybe he'll adapt?

One of the first things Trestman ought to do is start poring over the tapes of Joe from 2013 and 2014 and see what works best for him. Kubiak did a similar thing when he got hired. He ought to check out the zone blocking scheme we used to before he decides to just use what he's used to.
