I've also seen McDaniels blow things in big games too. So why does he get a pass?
If I'm giving credit to McDaniels for guys like Jimmy G, then I give Shanahan the same credit. Which team was Jimmy G playing for when he went to a SB? It wasn't the Patriots...

No, I'm not giving McDaniels credit for making Cam look like a decent QB. I'm giving Cam credit for actually being a decent QB. When Cam was an MVP, which wasn't that long ago, who was calling plays for him? It wasn't McDaniels...

All of the sudden now Cam's career revival, which is occurred from about 80% of being healthy, and 10% of an OC who stopped telling him to throw it 30 yards down the field on every play, doesn't belong to him? LOL.

O and then there's the QB now playing in Tampa, who looks just fine to me. Just like he looked just fine when McDaniels wasn't his OC for a few years in NE.

You're right... the proofs right in front of you...
Brady looked fine because his system was still in tact a little. Their offense still fell off also.Just like when our oc leaves, it will still resemble that of old maybe its first year however, it wont be as good as it once was. Brady doesnr look any where close to what he was with pats. He is throwing ints that he normally wouldnt throw

Can we please get an update on what happened to Lamar’s knee? He looked absolutely fine against Washington

he was out yesterday with the knee - today apparently was due to illness - harbs said yesterday that it wasnt an injury that would mean he missed any time and his absence was precautionary - the illness is clearly separate to that

will be interesting to see if he's present at walkthroughs tomorrow

Well yeah... his new OC actually wants to move the ball down the field. He's not a super conservative play caller like McDaniels is.

Brady hasn't looked that strong in the Pats offense for a few years now, hence why it wasn't all that surprising to see him leave.

That first play though wtf.
madubuike, at worst, is absolutely for real as an athlete and high motor guy. that kind of play is far from a rare occurrence from him, he is frequently giving some jaw dropping snaps, like world class highlight reel for a DT, and he did it from some strange spots too as he played a good bit of 0/1. if he never develops the finer points of disengaging, he should still be a quality disruption guy at worst, if he does develop very well then hes gonna be dominant. hes in the mold of an ed oliver/grady jarrett, short, muscled up, stupidly quick, very twitchy and powerful, hes actually bigger than either of them though.

again, hes got some work to do, but man im not bullshitting when i say that kind of play is VERY common on his film, if youve got some time take a dive on his tape, hes entertaining to watch.

Understandable. I mean i didnt watch guys or get familiar with those guys 20+ yrs ago. I know walsh and gibbs but mcdaniels resume still seems superior to theirs
not even close. McDaniels had TB and Gibbs had average qbs and a great offensive line.

Who would you guys consider to be the most under the radar ravens so far this year? For me it’s:
Tyus Bowser
LJ Fort
Bradley bozeman
Gus Edwards

these guys get absolutely no recognition outside of the fan base and honestly the average fan could probably name 1 of these guys off the top of their heads

And I would bet that one would only be Gus

Bozeman and Fort are good shouts
I'd add Pernell McPhee too

I am not sure that Gus is a surprise for me but that's because I always thought he was good and needed more touches. Bowser? Really showing up lately.
