from what ive seen so far, technicians is the right word - looks to me like keith williams loves his route running lol - which means i instantly like him - and that's the best kind of guy for devin duvernay to be around this offseason - and hey if he can add even more releases to hollywood's package like he did with Tyreek then id be cool with that too - and as a pass game specialist maybe he can be an advocate for us to run some deep comebacks with hollywood (which he's lethal with and it's maybe his best route but we didnt see a ton in 2020)
And it could mean us getting the ball out a little quicker, too. If you can set these guys up with a series of releases to get them open quicker, we could be very difficult to stop with the running game we have. That's been a big issue - our receivers just don't win their matchups.
the only WR who was not in the bottom half of the league vs man coverage was hollywood lol
the only way is up from there

man this one right here is awesome, clarence brooks son coaching for the ravens is the best feel good story out of this organization since drafting lamar
a little nugget on those hires - we're still not particularly diverse at the top of the coaching staff but hard to change that without any openings
haloti ngata's probably smiling somewhere

i still haven't seen any of tee martin's work
but it really can't be stated enough that Keith Williams has been working with the 2 best WRs in the league at staying clean off the release vs press - and the thing that both tyreek and davante have in common is that both of them hardly ever use their hands to stay clean - their footwork is that good
this is one of the 2 guys we've just added to the staff with hollywood on our roster already - hollywood already made major strides with his release packages last offseason - i have to imagine that there's a level of greatness that's attainable for him this offseason

i really like eric crocker as a talent evaluator (mostly of CBs and WRs) so i found it interesting that he did this article/interview with "Dubb" only a year ago - and that williams was the first person he chose to do this on

I like what I'm hearing about these new coaches
the more i find about "dubb" the more i wonder what 'pass game specialist' actually means
like is that an embedded role a bit like pass game coordinator or is it more like a consultant type role (but on a more official basis)?
not found much about tee martin as a coach yet (beyond just his record and former prospects etc.) but keith williams seems like he's a receiving savant
i cant tell you how excited i am with these 2 new hires - literally breathed new life into me lol - i love route running more than any other specific facet of any particular position - the only thing that gets close is pass rush moves lol

Thats the same thing I was wondering. I don't think it's the same role as passing game coordinator but I could be wrong. I like the hire but I kind of was expecting The Ravens to hire a coach with atleast offensive coordinator experience at The NFL level but hey The Chiefs have a passing game coordinator and a passing game analyst. Maybe what Keith Williams is being asked to do could be what The Chiefs ask their passing game analyst Joe Bleymaier to do.
Yeah I don't think he's out there designing a passing offense, but he's probably working with the WRs, assessing their skill set, watching film of how defenses operate, and making recommendations to Roman for the offensive gameplan for the week. More of a consultant while also doing a little bit of actual coaching with the pass catchers.
Honestly, probably a title you had to give him to get him away from his personal gig. Worked at quite a few colleges but seems like he found a home as a personal coach. To get him away, I think you probably needed to give him the specialist role instead of say, assistant WR coach.

And if that's the case, and we can't get it done with Roman yet again, then hell, I'm all for giving Williams a chance at OC

True and I'm excited about the hire of Keith WIlliams and Tee Martin though.Just hope it really infurences some changes in The Ravens passing game but The Raven also may not be done adding some guys to their offensive staff either.
