TBird Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 Pettine was a coach here for several years and had head coach written all over him. Hisfather was a coach and taught him everything. He was about 2d on the depth chart behindPees for D-Coord for when Mattison was here. He moved on to bigger and better thingsand is improving the Clowns who beat us in OT earlier with about 80% of the Ravensinjured. He has some nice things to say about Schaub but not so nice about Terrance West butPettitne is one mean looking mutha - just like a football player or um coach should be like,not like the ever smiling little Johnny boy-lol. That said, I guess Pettine missed all those picks Schaub threw in pre-season and before hegot here like last year but he's a good coach and not falling into a false security trap. He said Ravens are lucky to have Schaub because they don't have to dumb down theoffense like Squeelers did Vick when Big Jen went down. Schaub rana pro offense for years at a high level so they don't expect a big drop off in quality andare preparing like they would for Flacco not a has been QB. He let WEst go because of maturity and work ethic issues. His skill set is there but otherimportant stuff needed are not. He can be a good back if he matures and improveshis work ethics. Sounds like another Gaither to me. Remember him? LOL http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/article-1/What-The-Browns-Are-Saying-About-The-Ravens/a19fc7e8-766e-4e81-9331-3185b407a208 Quote
varaven45 Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 The maturity and work ethic issues aside - and make no mistake, those are damn big issues - maybe West just needs a change of scenery. He isn't the first guy and won't be the last where a new team and system did him some good. Let's see where this thing goes. Worst case, he blows his chance and gets cut. We still have Forsett, Allen, Taliefero for next year. Quote
TBird Posted November 30, 2015 Author Posted November 30, 2015 Good point but Forsett is old and injured. Not sure we can count on him nextyear. Ravens will likely draft another back and/or sign a veteran RB. Maybe. Quote
varaven45 Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 I think Forsett, 30 + and all, still has something left on the wheels. Remember, as a career backup, he didn't play much until a few years ago.He should have a good year or two left in the tank- enough to play and "coach up" the young bucks . Quote
