tsylvester Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Hmm, should be interesting. His defenses were really only good against poor teams... Save one game against Ohio St... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldno82 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Don't know the guy at all except he's another member of the Harbaugh tree. Sometimes around the Ravens, that's all you need to qualify for a job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vmax Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I'm liking the MacDonald "possible hire" the more that I learn about him. Hutchinson raved about him and he could go as high as the #1 pick in the draft. Ojabo went from 1 sack to 11 sacks, QB 23 hurries and a record-breaking 5 forced fumbles in 14 games while playing on 508 snaps. The Michigan D went from # 97 in 2020 to #12 in 2021. The D went from 34.5 points surrendered in 2020 to 16.1 points surrendered in 2021. serious progress for only 1 year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldno82 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Good catch, Max. Now I'm feeling better about him. The whole affair still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth though. I think Harbaugh used Wink as a scapegoat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure hope if he does come that he leaves his players to go other teams. No way do I want to see a Michigan player deafted in the first 4 rounds.

I would rather they had gone for Weaver. I know he doesn't have the longer term coaching experience, but he is football smart, a great leader, and, a players player.

GrubberRaven Posted January 28, 2022 Author Share Posted January 28, 2022 Atleast he's fit? Give it a chance. He did get Michigan's D into the top 10's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmax Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 This year the Ravens would greatly benefit if they got Michigan players Hutchenson (Totally unlikely) , Ojabo ( very possible) or Hill (love this possibility) at safety. Macdonald coached Daxton Hill and Ojabo so he can let Eric know if the Ravens should pursue these guys who are both needs. He can let Eric know if he can get Ojabo to be an impact player his first season. He took Ojabo from a 1 tackle season to 11 sacks. Maybe he can do the same with Oweh. In his one season at Michigan, he plugged and played the defensive players differently. He got them in their best positions to succeed. Hopefully he does that here. My guess is Wink had players doing assignments they were not comfortable or capable of doing and this messed with them hitting their full potential here....but not elsewhere.

oldno82 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I want to hear what he sees as the shortcomings talent wise for our defense and how he plans to shore it up. For once, we don't really need any offensive skill position players this year. That is, unless you believe we should kick the tires on a pocket quarterback.

vmax Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) UPDATE!: Macdonald is bringing in a pal, Ryan Osborn from Michigan. His DE coach. "As Michigan’s defensive ends coach, Osborn likely worked closely with Aidan Hutchinson and David Ojabo — one of the top edge rusher duos in the country." If this guy can use his genie-in-a-bottle magic elixir on the Ravens DE's life will be good! https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/report-ravens-adding-michigan-s-ryan-osborn-to-defensive-coaching-staff/ar-AATvyY7?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531 Quote Need insight into the measure of Mike Macdonald's challenge as he takes over as defensive coordinator? Add up the defensive players he can count on to start in 2022 after finishing 2021 relatively healthy. I've got Chuck Clark, Patrick Queen, Odafe Oweh, maybe Justin Madubuike. You only need one hand.
